>does Nintendo do inhouse refurbs

What do you think this is? 1991?

You're better off just buying a new fucking controller mate.

>>3429850
Theres snes controlers for wii...

>>3429892
they plug into a wiimote though

Toe jam and Earl, so nostalic. I didn't have a snes growing up, Sega was the broke family console. Tj and Earl were senpai

I used to think SNES was by far the better console, but in recent years I've grown an appreciation for the Mega Drive due to the PSP having shit SNES emulation but near perfect MD emulation, so I played a lot of games on that. It's a really cool system with a lot of unique games, and a much different aesthetic from the SNES.

>>3429817
Went back to it.

It wasn't good.

>>3429782
I used to own that magazine but I haven't seen it for years. Loved the Kirby 64 article.

Bumping this because I'd like to get some scans too.

Tips & Tricks was the best video game magazine. It avoided the preview/review cancer and instead covered games that were already available.

The former editor-in-chief of Tips & Tricks made this website a while back

It's not related to the magazine but the articles may be of interest to some here. The video embeds are broken on the website but you can watch them here

The 32x would've been so much better if SoJ hadn't cucked SoA.

>>3429759
Nice stars, faggot.

>Did you guys just come out of the closet?

Heh

I don't remember Emperor Pilaf ever saying that.

>>3429785
Epic joke

Underlines the observation that Akira Toriyama draws certain things very similarly.

If you want to upscale rgb, do it correctly with a framemeister.

>>3429736
Never heard of that. I just want the best way to hook an old console up to a modern TV

>>3429748
Well for Wii and PS2 just use component cables and switch to/force progressive scan. For interlaced only consoles if you insist on using an hdtv you'll want to upscale correctly with something like a framemeister. Some scart to hdmi adapter will introduce significant lag and/or any number of other shits. Also, only fat SNES can output RGB without modification and ALL N64s require mods for RGB.

it seems someone has a rom

>>3429557
AFAIK, the PS2 is better at playing PS1 games. quicker load times, slightly improved graphics (???), etc. it has the added bonus of playing PS2 games.

>>3429557
>my thoughts were that the disc reader on the ps2 is better than that on the original hardware.
Really? My old PSX still reads cds just fine, can't say the same thing about my PS2 fat.

>>3429557
Ps3 best for ps1. Also the last to play ps1.

Graphics get better and less load times.

Have you played Super Mario RPG?

>>3429512
try chrono trigger

chrono cross and vagrant story have no level grinding (VS may be a bit too hard for a newcommer though)

Then quit being a poorfag and just buy the Famicom N8.

It's almost double the price. I don't want to waste money, but if I got the NES one I'd have to spend money on an adapter, and 72-pin to 60-pin are twice the price of 60-pin to 72-pin.

That'll teach me for wanting to be cool and have the Famicom instead of a NES.

>>3429490
Just get the real deal from krikzz. You will never have to worry about it messing up and it's only ~$100.

An somewhat obscure game for saturn, Arcana Strikes.
It's not very good from what I've played.

The famicom DBZ RPGs games use a card-based battle system.

Yes, I can think of a game that you forgot.

I don't think there's anyone from the 80s and 90s Konami still at Konami. It's Konami in name only.

>>3429081

I wish they'd just sell off the rights to their franchises, but that won't work because they want to make sweet gambling funds off of them Silent Hill and Metal Gear gamblin' machines. Can't wait for the inevitable rape your wallet Pyramid Head scratchoffs!

>>3429074
The ceased to to make many console games. They exist like most old companies or defunct ones, to lisence old games or make pinball and stuff.

>>3429048
buy one cheap, burn all the games to cdr. Fantastic investment.

>>3429048
Shit if I was in the UK I'd snatch that right out from under you. Good deal.

>>3429054
This. Just burn the games, save money. It apparently strains the laser but when it dies just buy a new one and solder it.

>>3429070
That's awesome to know I had no idea you could rom games on this and I just picked up a new soldering iron after years of not making stuff, I've been trying to find a emulator but they all suck big donky dick,

Why isn't there a drag and drop type thing like OpenEmu or Boxer on Windows? That's bullshit.

>configurate

EmulationStation is a pain in the ass to set up for the first time, at least on linux. (If you use windows go kill yourself).

Once it's all set up though it's pretty nice. You can set it to launch on startup so it looks and feels like a "console".
