I usually try and pick up a console a few years after its done. Its usually cheap and the nostalgia wave hasn’t hit yet. At that point its probably been hacked and the store shut down so I feel no qualms aquiring games however I see fit. Though there seems little reason to do so after the 360 and PS3 since most games play on pc too now.

DS and 3DS are hard to replicate well on a single screen device. So i get those, but there are newer handheld emulators with dual screens. Nintendo also keeps shutting down 3DS emulators so progress is slow. Vita emulation is still in its infancy.

PSP and GBA wouldn’t be worth investing in. Both play great on handheld emulators. Home consoles I’d just emulate or newer ones usually have a pc port. There are some games stuck on consoles that don’t emulate well, so if one of those is a fav maybe buy the console.

I don’t think I ever made it past the werewolf castle level without cheats.

Oh man such a great game. Great couch co-op.

Hold up. What are the oracle GBA editions? are they actually enhanced?

Having just done a shell swap with the current shell layout there doesn’t seem to be a lot of room to reduce the bezzle size without some serious Dremel work. Maybe you could get them down to switch OLED size but they don’t bother me and probably helped keep the cost down.
