This is one amazing machine that I am firmly convinced is made with voodoo and witchcraft. The AR Cards are fantastic to play with. Slap a card down and out pops a character right there on your table.  They are even interactive and one has games that you play with it. I can not get over how much fun it is to shoot at targets that are appearing on my desk.

I have not been this excited about a console in years and can’t wait to play all the games I have downloaded and see where Nintendo goes from here. I will admit I don’t use the 3D as it gives me a headache but from what I did watch it is very well done. I have already been told that I need to pick up the new Kid Icarus and the latest Mario Kart. Nintendo hit a home run with this one in my opinion.

I am so happy to have this system to match my Zelda DS Lite. Now I just need the Zelda GBA.

Today’s Haul

My haul for June 9, 2010
I'm happy

I racked up 16 games today for right at $25. The Gyromite even has the famicom converter! I really can’t wait to play Shinobi & Rolling Thunder. I also plan on finally winning Golgo 13. I do have a few really bad games, The Karate Kid & Back to the Future 2 & 3 for starts. I haven’t played Captain Skyhawk or Cobra Triangle but I do remember winning Clash at Demonhead.

Here is a picture of the two famicom converters I have found so far. The left one is from Hogan’s Alley and the right is from the Gyromite I bought today. Now I just need to buy a famicom game.

I also got my Club Nintendo reward this week. I decided to get the Hanafuda card set over the Game & Watch collection 2. I figured I should own the product that Nintendo started out making way back in 1889. The cards are smaller than I thought they would be, the case for them looks fantastic. I have decided not to open them, instead they will sit on my bookcase with my other collectibles.

I finally got an XBox

Thanks to my buddy Kenny I now own an original Microsoft XBox. Kenny gave it to me because the DVD drive was bad. I was able to swap it out and can now say that I have played Halo. Now I just need to get Knights of the old Republic 1 & 2.

Also there is a new retro-game store in Augusta, Video Game Heaven! I highly recommend stopping by and checking them out.

The Sega CDX was a 16-bit video game console released in 1994, combining the Sega Genesis and one of its add-ons, the Sega CD, into a single compact unit as a final attempt by Sega to encourage consumer interest in its fledgling Mega-CD format. It’s retail price in North America was $399 with an estimated 5,000 sold.
