No clue r.e robotron I just want it.

Some Wii game I wanted but never picked up are:
Sky Crawlers
Deadly Creatures
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

This is opening up the Wii rabbit hole again....last game I got for it was recent acquisition - EA Grand Slam Tennis which uses the M+ and it's an excellent game requiring a fair degree of skill. It sensibly played to the Wii's spec and went for cartoon versions of the stars and is all the better for it. You can add the nunchuck and disable auto-movement to make it even harder.

Works with ordinary remotes too but that dumbs it down quite a bit but still a fun game and it means it caters for all skill levels.

Another nice collectable for Wii is Boom Street which seems to be only time Itadaki Street escaped from Japan (which started life as a board game bonus level in Dragon Quest I think).

It's Monopoly but with tactical play added to the basic rent collecting by share trading - you can own shares in your opponents' properties which go up in value when they develop it / put houses on it - resulting in a trade off between collecting higher rent and potentially increasing your opponents' portfolio.  The boards are non-circular too with lots of different paths. Bizarrely it's dual themed - mixing the Mario and Dragon Quest universe together will a huge side order of fan service in the boards, characters and jingles etc.  No mini-games here - just a pure board game. I played it briefly online and it was quite a good experience.  You win by achieving a target amount of wealth and then return to the bank...once someone gets the target value opponents start selling their shares like crazy before the leader gets to the bank and win as it makes the price and subsequently the leader's wealth drop.

It suffers a bit because the local MP doesn't let you save mid-game and continue later and given its a couple of hours at least for a good game I thought that an odd omission since you can save mid-game in the one player campaign mode that unlocks more boards.  But if you have 4 who are into board games that won't be a problem - it works well because a physical version of this would be too much work with the share value calculations and events that change board layouts mid game etc.

I've got a shoebox full of loose GBA carts. 72 of them I think. I was building a nice collection a few years back, had them in the shoebox for convenience and the boxes in the loft (although half were bought unboxed anyway). Most of the boxes have damaged though (rats - rats), so I've only got the carts now.

What's the best way for me to go about selling them? Any interest on here? Some rare-ish stuff in there. More for playing than collecting I guess.

She's had a mess aound with quite a few but most of them are on an emulator we've got now.

Would probably sell rarer ones separately and joblot the rest.

I'm interested in a list as well, although any UK badgers can have first dibs to avoid the hassle of international shipping.

I've got Astroboy. Will do a list at the weekend. The only ones I don't want to get rid of off the top of my head are Kururin Paradise, Warioware Twisted and Hajime no Ippo.

Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy Tactics, Shining Force, Lady Sia, Go Go Beckham, Guardian & Gunstar Heroes, Castlevania double packs, Final Fight, Double Dragon (cracking version). Loads more obvs. Was pleased with the collection but I'm good with emulation these days.

I have got Counterpunch, easily the best Punch-out clone for my money. Replayed it a couple of years ago. I initially played it before Super/Punch-Out, so it's possible I have a weird soft spot for it.

Here's all the GBA games I have at my mom's place. I have a couple more at my brother's place I think, and a few here in the US, most CIB so I'm quite happy with what I got.

DS games 'cause it's got the big Kid Icarus box

Just checked. Japan didn't get Robotron64. PAL and US regions got it. If you have a JP console the US version will work with a bridge adaptor or a physical mod to the cart slot. The region lock in NTSC was just a notch on the carts.

I have Wii Twilight Princess for some reason. I barely remember buying it. Is it any good? (Not that I'll play it).

I had the GC version but sold it as part of my mighty clearout 5 years ago. It's one I should have sold privately as a single game but fuck it.

It is a good game but overly ambitious for the Wii's tech imho. The antithesis to games like Mario Galaxy that still look great.

The WiiU HD version is excellent. Just that extra bit of power bumped it up from my least favourite 3D Zelda to maybe 3rd after Wind Waker and BotW. WiiU is definitely the place to be for 3D Zelda.

Wind Waker is really quite short so should be doable.
TP on the other hand is a bit of a beast for a fairly linear game (in comparison to BotW or the early Zeldas).

As well as the increased graphics having the extra screen on the Wiiu transforms 3D Zeldas. Having the map and item screens available at all times is great. Same goes for OOT and Majora on the 3DS.
