I was using a 2DS until recently, but I decided to upgrade when the Fates N3Ds was announced. My grandmother has it now and she plays her memory games on it... :^) The 2DS felt so solid and unbreakable like my GBC, so it feels weird now playing something that feels so flimsy. 20 minutes ago, DefaultBeep said: drag out my Super Famicom just to play them WAIT you have a Super Famicom?

I actually really hate emulators so I've considered getting one, but they're pretty hard to get hold of. Believe it or not, buying a Super Famicom and Genealogy of the Holy War was cheaper than buying just Path of Radiance, at least at the time I got it. Or at least roughly the same; I think the Famicom was like $60-$80 on Ebay, and Genealogy was $20-$40 on Ebay as well. Of course, I got lucky that both even worked, since Ebay isn't the most reliable place to buy things. I did it for the same reason you said, though; I really wanted to play Genealogy, but I prefer not using emulators, so I saved some money and got the console, and just read the translated script on my phone while I played. I did the same with New Mystery (before Genealogy) and Binding Blade (after Genealogy), except I already had consoles that could play them just fine. If there are a lot of Japanese exclusive games you're interested in, then I think it's worth it if you can find one; I actually have more Super Famicom games than SNES games now (it's 4 to 3, but still more by a slim margin). Unfortunately, I can't really point you in any solid direction other than try to find one that looks okay on Ebay or another similar site. Also, consider buying SNES controllers, because at least with the ones I got, the Super Famicom controllers have much shorter cords for some reason. 308 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefaultBeep Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Welp, guess this means I have to throw out my Super Famicom now. It was fun while it lasted, but it's just not worth risking eclipse showing up and ruining our streak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't call that a scientific analysis, we need a few more tests otherwise we can't be sure it isn't just a coincidence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SullyMcGully Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) 8 hours ago, DefaultBeep said: I think I just missed my chance with the Pokémon series; not sure if @SullyMcGully had a similar experience, but I was never allowed to play the games or watch the show growing up, because it had too much "magic." Which is absurd, because if there's any questionable aspect of Pokémon, it's the lighthearted way it supports dog fighting. Pretty shady there, Nintendo; your silly "fainting" nonsense can't fool me. But anyway, I've tried to play a few of the other games now, but I just can't really see the appeal of them. Or rather, I can see the appeal, but that appeal does nothing for me personally. Wow. Are you me? Let me guess, you weren't allowed to read Harry Potter either. 4 Edited October 15, 2017 by SullyMcGully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always preferred playing a game on a console, so I might actually do this. I have a SNES, so the controllers won't be an issue. I was pretty lucky with the FE games I own because I managed to get them very soon after release. The PoR and RD prices now are incredible. 8 These 1 digits are so demoralising.
