For only $40, this console does what others before it did, but puts it in a price point to where the it would interest to casual consumer. It not a perfect replication of the original console, but it does provide gamers with HDMI quality, something the original stock NES is unable to do.

Mission Complete!-The Missing Metal Slug Game! ^o^ Yakuza Games 2017-08-15 | A really cool pickup, I didn't think I would find this one for a price I was willing to pay for it. I passed on it awhile back, but these days they seem less common to find for sale or they want to auction it. So this completes the MVS Metal Slug titles for my collection. There aren't too many I'm looking for these days, but it was cool to find this one. ^_^

San Japan 2015: 8 Bit Yakuza Games 2015-08-05 | So every year we have this locally. It probably the biggest anime convention in the city, this is number 8! 8-Bit as they call it! It lasted 3 days from the Friday to Sunday, each with different events, such as panels, autograph signings, game tourneys, crafts, costume contests....there was always something to do. You can even go into the film room and enjoy some anime! Here's just a glimpse of what you would see there in person. Some borrowed pics, some from the Yakuza crew, but all just to give an idea of how some of the elements there bring out a pretty cool vibe! The Otaku Café I helped with last year was there, cool story: So two Airmen just graduated from basic came to the convention, one unfortunately had issues with their credit card, he was trying to buy 4 items, but the card wouldn't run. So the Otaku Café asked the Airman which was his favorite, and gave it to them for free! How cool was that! Overall, I think this San Japan thing is pretty cool, especially all the costumes. Although I only went on Saturday, I see myself going again next year just to check out everything and chill for a bit! ;) Enjoy the video!

エースコンバット３/ Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere Intro Comparison Yakuza Games 2015-07-13 | The dfferences of this game are as different as day and night. Here is a comparison of just the intro to the US and JP versions of the game. Playing the Japanese version all the way through several times, I alsways felt that fans in the US missed out and got a watered down version of the game. The story was removed, as well as visual updates and characters, which brought this rememberable game from my childhood from its 2 disc glory to a one disc game. If you are a fan of the series and can get the import, its so much better.
Strahl Review (3DO) Yakuza Games 2015-07-08 | A look into a unique category of games, trahl is one of the more enjoyable of this type to play.

The King of Thrifting 2015 (Neo-Geo Edition) Yakuza Games 2015-05-23 | Soooo there was something quite interesting at my local thrift store (Roy Mass' Youth Alternatives). This went on for two visits as you will see in my story how this came about. Its the most I have ever spent in a thrift store ever! I'm just glad the ladies at this store cut me a good break! It did cost a lot, but nowhere near what I would have paid these days. I was shaking both time I went to buy them from the store.
Turbo Grafx Super Meetup at Game Over (NW San Antonio,TX) Yakuza Games 2015-04-13 | So this weekend there was a meeting of several collectors of the awesome Turbo Grafx! Pretty much everything you can think of was there plus a lot of PC Engine! You can tell what systems I brought because they didn't have CD parts to them! It was really cool to see so many people with the same interest I had growing up. Sadly we probably went through about 5% of all the games that everyone had. Still really cool. Everyone one had stories and how they got certain items. It was a blast to go out there and share these systems and games!
