Kill me, but I didn't know about this game and it looks really fun.

I was going to link to the I-Mockery article because it's less formal and not tl;dr, but it actually links to the rom so I can't do that. Instead, Hardcore Gaming 101 did a very detailed write-up with more history, so yeah.

a question for my fellow mugen guild figure fuckers. how do you keep them clean from dust. do you use glass cases. do you clean them regularly using something specific. is it okay to shoot loads over them

Not exactly related to the cleaning process but if you have a display (Or any kind of illumination that's super close to them) make sure it doesn't use fluorescent lights, they cause a chemical reaction that slowly cracks the paint, incandescent light bulbs are the way to go.

Cool, I'll keep my eyes peeled. HOWEVER, I am considering getting an honest-to-god Famicom because I heard some games have really awesome soundboards that are impossible on the NES

To be quite honest didn't know about this, the reason that I haven't one at my collection is that they are to damn expensive in Mexico and right now am extending my Nes library, want to have at least 100 titles so that's the main reason that I can't afford to purchase a Famicom at Amazon

$48.99 + tax, so roughly $53.

That's about the average ebay price too.

I don't have a proper display or shelves in this apartment, but once I move over to a bigger place I'll display them, it would be ridiculous to buy articulated figures with extra pieces and not pose them.

Question: Why is Xenoblade chronicles so expensive? I remember someone else posting their pre-owned one in this thread some time back, and that one was even more costly than the one you found. What makes it so pricey???

I work at Elecbyte as a sexy janitor.

Xenoblade Chronicles is expensive for a used copy in the U.S. because it was only sold through GameStop, and had a limited initial printing at that.

I first heard about the game from the early trailer on the Wii's Nintendo Channel where everyone had ugly faces:

It was called Monado: Beginning of the World back then and I had no idea of the talent behind game.

Later on I caught wind of Operation Rainfall, and once the game was officially announced that it was finally coming to the U.S. people on GameFAQs were saying that it'd be a good idea to preorder because the game was going to be rare.
At first the game wasn't. People were saying how their local GameStop had several copies available and that the doomsayers got people to preorder for nothing.

A few months later and suddenly it wasn't so easy to find, and online prices soared.
Some people say that GameStop got another printing made and opened them all up so they could sell them as "used" allowing them to set their own price on the game.
Same theory goes for Metroid Prime Trilogy.

I put a couple hundred hours into it and loved every minute. I'd say it is totally worth it.
Xenoblade Chronicles X being announced was one of the three main reasons I got a Wii U.

At first I was a little sad that Yoko Shimomura wasn't contributing to the soundtrack for XCX because that was one of my favorite parts of XC.
Then I learned it is going to be the guy who composed for Attack on Titan so everything is ok.

No problem.

@Orochi Gill

You posting that you got Super Mario RPG reminded me that I recently reacquired mine.
I left mine in a closet in my parents' house, and it has been there since I moved out in December, 2000.

Yes, I got it for $14.97 on clearance at Toys R Us. Final Fantasy Adventure I got for $11.98 clearance at Target.
Yes, they are both still sealed.

Damn, that's a little expensive but indeed this game completely deserve every damn buck, the story and the cameos of Link and Samus on it are epic, still remember the first time that I saw this two characters on the game, guess that will add this one to at my wish list before it comes more expensive, have received some Nes titles today but since there is a storm at my city really don't want to take them out at the rain

Figuring things out, one sprite at a time.

The sad part is that I've seen Super Mario RPG go for considerably higher for just the cart; closer to 70-80 range. By that note, it's actually a decent purchase.
