This whole pirated video games thing on eBay has gotten so ridiculous (in my case), it’s not even funny. I recently bought a copy of Tetris DS for what I thought was a good bargain, and the fact that the seller had a lot of good feedback. The package arrived today, along with Pokemon Diamond [...]

There’s something really familiar about this Pokemon gracing the cover of this Limited Edition Nintendo DS Lite. Ah yes, it’s the same one on the cover of the recently released Pokemon Platinum. The Pokemon Daisuki Club Giratina Special Edition Crystal White Nintendo DS Lite is a Japan-only exclusive release, but is now available on Play-Asia. [...]

How did I spend my Saturday morning? I ran for half an hour, washed two cars and took up the task of cleaning up an old SNES that just arrived yesterday through the mail, having bought it via eBay. This time around, it was a much better purchase compared to the previous SNES I bought [...]

The rising exchange rate (now USD 1 = RM 3.5-ish) has put the brakes on my video games buying habit. Not that it’s a bad thing, I’ve been averaging 2 games a month and that’s not including the recent retro console purchase. I actually welcome the respite. On the downside, it’s preventing me from participating [...]

Mother 3 Progress: The word I’m looking for would be: slow. Yup. I’m taking my time with this; the save file shows that I’ve played two and a half hours..since the English translation patch was released last week. But hey, I’m having great fun. The English script is really humourous and while some elements from [...]

Despite having 1 or 2 Phoenix Wright games sitting on my bookshelf (once you reach more than 50 games, you start to lose count, or don’t remember what you actually own), I’ve not gone about playing them. They are just..sitting…there….beckoning….@_@ Anyways, Gyakuten Saiban is really big in its home country of Japan, inspiring even a [...]

Play-Asia has started selling the Nintendo DSi whereby for a cool USD 249 (shipping not factored in), you’ll get your Nintendo DSi in either Black or White (click here for purchase details). But what about accessories you ask. As most DS owners would know, playing without screen protectors would be really detrimental to the touch [...]

Previously when it came to shmups on the Nintendo DS, I thought the genre had the personality of a limpet mine.
