All are boxed with manual and all have the NTR-xxx-EUR region code on them.

Seems legitimate to me. I'd be wary of buyting pokemon games though. Those are replicated all too much. I bought a new copy of Platinum years ago and the price for a legitimate copy is getting up there

Same with Beat the Beat Rhythm Paradise on the Wii. Going for £50-£100-ish now.

Looks nice, but it’s also kinda rich of them to introduce this new model after making their existing customers wait more than a year for their current pre-orders…

Not a fan of that colour myself. Seems like it might be a little distracting to me.

Oh this is badass!

https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/8027/

Wario Land 4 now has native Game Boy Player rumble support! Works on real Game Boy Player hardware as well as other devices like the MiSTer and certain emulators (as well as the Analogue Pocket + DS Rumble Pak with an additional included patch).

This is awesome! First time that rumble has ever been newly added into a GBA game that didn't originally have it.

Hope the author of this patch now starts adding rumble to other GBA games, this is so cool! :D

Just tried this on my Pocket and I love it!  Will try on Game Boy Player or MiSTer at some point too.

I'm a fan of the colour, but I agree that it would probably be distracting.

I got a new game controller a while back that has hall effect sticks on it, but it also has other "features" that I'm not interested in, one of which is internal LED lighting. :heh: Anyway, every time you plug the controller in the whole thing (it has transparent casing) lights up like a bloody Christmas tree! :laughing: Even when you're not looking directly at it it's distracting as hell.

Luckily there's a shortcut to quickly turn the lights off. :hehe:

God I hate that gaudy RGB "Gamer" shite!

You basically can't buy any decent PC gaming hardware these days without it being covered in tacky rainbow lights!

Yeah, it's absolutely ridiculous. I remember being so perplexed by this rainbow light trend when I got my current PC. I ended up with the most modest one that I could, but it's still pretty stupid looking. :laughing: And there's no way to turn the damn lights off while it's running either! :shakehead
On the plus side, it made finding a spot to place it in easy... anywhere where I can't see the damn thing! :heh:

I think some of you might like this, someone has made a website and a magazine that covers old video game magazines that a lot of us grew up reading:

https://www.forgottenworlds.net/

one of the most recent articles is about Ngamer, which was the follow up to N64 magazine with an interview with the editor at the time. It's quite interesting hearing about being in games journalist during the height of the Wii and DS and also making a magazine as the internet side of game coverage becomes more established: https://www.forgottenworlds.net/ngamer-magazine
