Thinking I might have got scammed out of over $100 dollars with that replacement 3DS I ordered two weeks ago.
Started getting concerned because it hasn't arrived in the mail, so I checked the store and it doesn't exist anymore, which is the biggest red flag.
It looked completely legit, and the prices weren't ridiculously cheap, so it didn't raise any alarms to me, but it looks like it may have a very well-crafted scam site. I'll give it another week just to be sure, but then I'll contact Paypal for a refund.

The only reason I was in the market for a new 3DS was because the painted decoration on the front of my original model was bubbling up and flaking off.
But, my 3DS is a limited edition, and identical replacements could go for up to $400 bucks on eBay. That's why I originally decided to get a different model that was cheaper.
Got lucky and found a working version of the same limited edition as mine from Canada for the equivalent if $195 USD, though, and I consider that reasonable enough that I bought it.

When I transfer my data over, it'll be like I'm still using the exact same 3DS, which means a lot to me.

Almost five years of faithful service, but now the painted finish on the casing of my 3DS XL is starting to bubble up and flake off, apparently exacerbated by the humidity here.
I've decided to finally swap the old girl out for a newer refurbished model.

My beloved 3DS has had that for years. You can tell after a second of looking at it where my hands go. Some chips on it where I dropped it a couple of times. The B and X buttons need a little encouragement to work properly. The back plate is barely being held in place by two screws with chips in the plastic slowly closing in on them. The plastic nub that keeps the stylus from sliding out has been worn down after taking the stylus in and out hundreds if not thousands of times and is reinforced with a layer of masking tape. Every inch of that thing is covered in scratches like it was attacked by a cat.
I love my 3DS and wouldn't trade it for the world. My favorite game system of all time fluctuates between the SNES, GBA and New 3DS XL. I have so many fond memories of the thing.
Wow. You got me all nostalgic there for a second.

After nearly a decade, Nintendo has finally officially discontinued the 3DS.
"Goodnight, Sweet Prince..."

Hey everybody. What's up?
-
Trying to replace my destroyed SNES Classic. Oh. My. God.
I REFUSE to pay over $150 dollars for something I only spent around $70 dollars on the first time. *Sigh*

This may be my most boring birthday ever.
-
A little late but Happy late Birthday! I missed this some how.
Grab a game you can enjoy and pop it in one of those machines you got. Get out and enjoy yourself if nothing else. Go watch a movie you've been wanting to see. Find a place that might have an old pinball machine and try it out. There's got to be something to do to break the boredom.

Since I've now got an extra $3k sitting in my bank account, since most necessities have been taken care of, I'm actually starting to look into maybe snagging a few rarer hardware pieces for my *New* collection.
I'm looking at either a Famicom Disk System or a Twin Famicom to start.
Any suggestions from you guys?

If you get one you better show pics, mister! LOL

Yes, I already intend to replace my Wii U. I literally just got a Wii U at the end of March, and come September it's destroyed, forcing me to start all over again.
Sadly, I got talked into just getting a regular Disk System before I saw your replies here, so doesn't look like there will be a Twin Famicom in my future anytime soon.
-
Well guys, I have some good news.
I was able to find a replacement for my Intellivision online for $40. It includes the original box, manual, and three games.

Hey guys, if anybody here gets METV, tonight at 10 EST, 9 CST there's an episode of a show called "Collector's Call" in which a video game collector shows off his massive collection, which includes such rarities as a Sega Neptune prototype.
Figured you guys would be interested.

My Mom passed away in her sleep early this morning.
I feel so lost.

Oh no Lee, I’m so sorry to hear that. My sincere condolences to you & your family. 😔
-
With deepest sympathy...sorry for your loss. I felt lost when I lost my mother. She was only 40. I had to find strength in my sadness. What snapped me out of it was doing things that would make my mother proud of me. Maybe that will help you later on down the road.
Prayers sent out to you and your family in your time of need.
-
So sorry to hear Lee. I lost my Mom quite a few years ago. I always made her laugh when she was mad at me about something, I miss that.
Prayers your way & sharing tears

They said it would never release on a Nintendo console, but today, 22 years after it first debuted on the Sony Playstation, Final Fantasy VII has just released on the Nintendo Switch.
I'm really excited to finally get a chance to play this classic RPG for the first time ever.
-
Today's Nintendo Direct had several surprises. I'm really looking forward to the Link's Awakening remake on Switch.

My local Gamestop has a pre-owned WiiU that I've had my eyes on for several weeks now, so I've decided to save up enough to buy it. I've got almost half the asking price of $129.99 now, and hope to have the other half by March.
I really want to get into the WiiU Virtual Console before Ninty eventually pulls the plug on it.

To my understanding, the Wii U no longer has online support including the virtual console. Any prepurchased content, even by a previous owner, is no longer downloadable. Nintendo turned off their servers for the DS/DSi/Wii/Wii U consoles at the end of last month. However, I'm not sure about the Wii U (I've thought about one, too) but there are some software modifications that can be done to a Wii to get it back online.
I got lucky with my used Wii as it mysteriously came with two digital games...Tetris Party and Super Mario World (SNES). I still have them and they still work, just no online support. I was using Netflix on my Wii on a SDTV but even Netflix said it would no longer work once Nintendo pulled the plug.
-
WiiU is still online as of now. In fact, they released a NEW game on the WiiU Eshop just last week. Shocking, I know.
-
Sadly, I have no TV again, so no console gaming for the foreseeable future.

If you are brave, here's an eBay search for some TVs. Hope this helps. Good luck finding one!
