A few months ago we talked about using Japan Yahoo Auctions & some of the bargains you can find in that mystical eastern land. Check that story out here first:

I’ve been ordering a bit of stuff & it all came in today thanks to the good people at Celga. Let’s have a look:
There was a lot of stuff so it came in 3 boxes. I wasn’t aware they’d be doing this until I got 3 tracking numbers sent to me. I can guess that the Super Famicom Box is in the middle box, as it’s about the right size. For now let’s open the top box.
There’s the Super Famicom Jr with 2 controllers & 2 Capcom Soldier controllers. After having a go with them I have to say the Soldier controllers are awkward to use. Maybe you have to get used them, but then again why would you bother when you’re happy with the current controllers? I’ll save that topic for another day as it looks like there’s more in the box. Let’s dig a bit deeper:
Wow, & I haven’t even looked at the other 2 boxes. There’s Chrono Trigger, Puyo Puyo, Kirby’s Dream Course, Dragon’s Quest 5, Crayon Shin Chan & Shining Scorpion towards the top with come boxed games on the side. There’s a bit of Super Robot Wars, some Final Fantasy & Bomberman is in the pink box down the bottom. That “Total Amusement Shop” box looks like a generic box that this particular store would package its unboxed games in.
Let’s see if I was right about the middle box:
I thought so. Here’s the Super Famicom box. There are no keys for it, so I might have to look at seeing if it’s possible to get replacements. Without keys you can’t turn it on by the look of it. Sadly the SF box got a bit damaged in transit.
Not much I can do about that I’m afraid. Anyway, onto the big box!!
Right on top is the Superscope. I also ordered Yoshi’s Safari with this lot, so at least I have the only semi decent Superscope game to go along with it. Let’s take off the top layer & see what’s under the scope.
There’s a couple of Dragonball Z games, 2 Street Fighter 2 variants & the 2 big boxes on either side have Mario & Wario with mouse & Mario Paint with mouse. There’s more underneath though, let’s dig a bit deeper.
There’s Yoshi’s Safari on the right, with Hammerin’ Harry (the same one from the previous article) & Yoshi’s Island also here. Bomberman 5 is also visible in the shot wrapped in bubble wrap.
So all in all I ended up with 88 games, a Super Famicom Jr, a Super Famicom Box, 2 controllers, 2 Capcom Soldier controllers, a Superscope & a Twin Tap. I still don’t know what games that thing is used for, but it was less than $5.
Right, well I’ve got to go & lock myself up for a week so I can play all these games. Later!!!
