A major trophy for my personal collection. Finally, I got the Japanese flyer for Donkey Kong!

I scored some nice video game flyers for my collection recently. Space Wars (1978), licensed to Taito for the Japanese market and Plus Alpha (1989) by Jaleco. Also won some newer Capcom flyers that are not on TAFA yet, including 1944, Power Stone, Power Stone 2 and Dimahoo.
Nintendo Wii SNES Classic Controller
October 30, 2008
Japanese owners of the Nintendo Wii have it good. No not good, GREAT. Through their Club Nintendo Japanese members can score one of these beauties. Fortunately for us here in the US, there's Ebay and a rather large surplus of Wii SNES classic controllers available.
I'm not too picky about controllers, but ever since downloading some of my favorite NES and SNES games on the VC, the Wii classic controllers just don't feel the same as the originals.
