Even back in the era of the NES and the Game Boy, Nintendo and its partners occasionally tried to market their video game platforms as something other than a video game platform – something practical, something you can use in your daily life. One of the more misguided attempts at this was the Bandai Pocket […] More
The M.A.C.S. were designed by the Military to train soldiers in bootcamp back when the Super Nintendo was in its heyday. The gun was essentially a real M16 (actually a Jäger AP 74 – a M16A2 clone), only stripped down and modified to work with a specially designed game cartridge. The gun itself is far […] More
I know Nicola briefly mentioned this, but I though it deserved a more in depth focus, just like a GIS certificate. I don’t know a whole lot about at, but hopefully maybe someone can chime in with some more info. Factory 5 was (and still is) an independent German software and video game developer. They […] More
From Seller: I have one copy of Starfox Competition Weekend that was at Blockbuster back in the day. The game is in mint condition (both labels are in mint condition). It is coming from my snes collection which only consisted of mint label snes games. The game comes with the official Starfox Competition card and […] More
Nicola already mentioned this, but I wanted to provide some more details. Also, I like this auction as most of these that show up tend to have a high priced BIN. Currently, this one is more than affordable. This counter tester is a revamped version of the SNES Test Station addon. This was offered to […] More
The Donkey Kong Competition Cartridge is a special timed version of the game where you have five minutes to collect as many points as possible. Once the time runs out, the game physically freezes (probably so the score could be recorded), and the game then needs to be reset. It was first used in the […] More
This unit tests a variety of functions, and despite being mentioned already this week, deserves another mention. Mainly, to check the video below for it in use below. Auction Here I`ve actually been doing a lot of SNES searches lately, mainly due to my new obsession with the several insanely hard to find PAL releases. […] More
We quite often mention the SNES StarFox Competition Cartridges when they tend to pop up on eBay. However, I can’t remember if we’ve ever went over the origin and history of the game in any reasonable detail. Since my good friend Evan G / badinsults of SNESCentral has researched and published quite an extensive article […] More

A complete SNES collection is no small feat. While there doesn’t seem to be as many active collectors for the system as there is for, say the NES, but I think its day is coming. From what I remember, there have been two previous complete (or close to) SNES collections for sale. One was darthvader […] More
I love new releases for retro franchises. Especially when it’s an American (or Canadian) release of the caliber only our Japanese friends normally seem to get. Although we are still getting hosed slightly, as the Japanese version comes out sooner, and looks to have an additional figure. Either way, these Action Figures / Statues look […] More
