Roth I love your avatar and it reminds me I need to watch Sailor Moon, I downloaded all of it ages ago but never got around to it. I haven't seen it since the dub got aired on TV in the late 90s.

That said, how is the Sailor Moon RPG (Another Story) on SNES? Worth a shot? How does it fit in with the show's canon?

I used to tape the episodes off TV, and I swear I had like 30 tapes of it filling up a cabinet in my parents' house. My dad must've been so pissed that I kept asking for tapes and taping over his sci-fi movies and westerns with this dumb cartoon with schoolgirls in it, but he never said a word

What kind of price is a good deal on a vita? Seeing them listed around $200 but I’expected them to be cheaper? I know I want the oled screen, which I think is both model numbers 1000 and 1100.

I think OLED screen keeps the price high on those. 2000+ models should be a little cheaper with the LCD and normal USB port Sub-$100 probably. Also, you'll probably have better luck buying one for a reasonable price locally than on Ebay or something.

I have a buddy who has been trying to design a totally-not-bootleg Super Robot Wars but for magical girls and I hope she someday puts all of the pieces together in a public form.

Also I still have no goddamn idea how it is that Sailor Moon, one of the biggest properties worldwide in the 90s, stopped getting any non-mobile game representation at the DS... and the lone DS game only came out in Italy. Ignoring that, we drop back to the 32-bit era! And the majority of them were fighting games!

I think no one near the franchise has thought up of any gaming concept that will work, mobile or console-wise. I mean, give it to Platinum, ArcSys (they also do VNs!) or, hell, Suda51.

Sailor Moon: Another Story did get an updated fan translation last year that tidied up the translation and fixed some bugs, but I can't say if the actual game quality is any good overall. I only played half of the original translation before losing my save or something, I remember it being a bit grindy.

I found this listing and pulled the trigger. Nothing jumped out at me as to why it would work for me and a bunch of local people seem to have lost their charging cables. None were cheaper than this and none had the model number listed.

Note that the retranslation also includes an optional anti-grinding patch the halves the encounter rate for random encounters but doubles the XP rate for each one.

If you're remotely interested the anti-grind patch is a must if you decide to play on an SNES classic.

A portly feline wizard waddles forth, muttering something about conjured food.

I'm a little bitter about Sailor Moon because, it replaced Ronin Warriors on the TV channel on which I watched the latter. I loving loved Ronin Warriors. I'd probably appreciate SM more now, I think.

The Sailor Moon arcade beat-em-up is interesting in that it's not completely terrible and it was one of only three arcade games developed by Gazelle, who were former Toaplan employees. The other noteworthy game they made was Air Gallet, which has hilariously bad American voice acting, absolutely gorgeous pixel art backgrounds by Junya Inoue, and quite arguably the last game of it's type (pre-danmaku, non-manic shmup). Gazelle also did the console ports of Batsugun, Kyukyoku Tiger 2, and Toaplan Shooting Battle I (Tiger Heli/Twin Cobra for PS1).

Thanks to Covid Chinese shipping is so incredibly broken at the moment. I ordered a Chinese Everdrive N8 clone from an aliexpress seller in China on April 28th, a wii pro controller from Wish (China again) on April 20th and last week I ordered one super yellowed Japanese Saturn from an ebay seller in Japan on June 18th. They all showed up today. It had been so long that I actually forgot I'd even ordered the Wii controller. Maybe this will teach me not to order crap that's probably going to turn my NES into a fire hazard.

Domestic shipping has slowed significantly for me too. In the last three months I've ordered a lot of stuff just to keep me busy/keep me from going crazy while on furlough and that Saturn got from Japan to where I live in NY quicker than most things I've ordered from Oregon.

I'm glad that sailor moon LP exists because when I tried playing it way back in the day, I got stuck on the boss of Mercury's solo stage, underlevelled and unable to find any more enemies to fight before the boss---just slowly chipping away at the boss and realizing the mathematics of not having enough MP to actually win the fight (but enough to make the fight last approximately forever)

Gotcha. Would kinda like a new one, but they're kinda pricey. Looking around, found a couple things to look for with regards to packaging on fakes. Still nervous about dropping $50+ on a potentially fake controller. I imagine the dumb camo controllers prob are real, but they seem the most likely to be worn out used.

The second arc involves criminals from the future under the tutelage of a man named Death Phantom who, after roughly a millenium of peace, reinvented murder. His punishment from the immortal god-queen of the universe was to be sealed inside a barren planet.

He's still in the planet when he seeks revenge.

I need a specific revision of the Wii for the WiiDual but I'm struggling with how to buy one off of ebay or similar without being able to pop it open. I'm also unsure if most sellers would deign to do that upon request.

Per this page, you can see a code if you unscrew a small panel in the back which will then tell you which revision of the console it is.

The revisions that work with the WiiDual are:

RVL-CPU-40
RVL-CPU-50
RVL-CPU-60
RVK-CPU-01 (No Gamecube Ports)
RVK-CPU-02 (No Gamecube Ports)

I'm mostly curious about the RVK models since it would seem to be an easy way to narrow down which consoles will work with the mod. Besides lacking GC ports, is there anything else those models had stripped from them?

EDIT: If you search ebay for the specific RVL-CPU-## code, you get a shitload of working replacement Wii motherboards at decent prices. Is it a dumb idea to just buy a board and swap it into a Wii I already have?

I think those might be those really crappy budget versions they released towards the end of the Wii's life that also didn't have online capabilities and are overall supposed to just be bad compared to the earlier versions
