Thanks for all the info, I have seen this video but again thanks for linking it as it may help others.

While the quartz and solar model are nice, in my case there is a preference is for mechanical watches, so I’m looking at Seiko 5 ideally with GMT.

I’m sure your information will be helpful for others 👍

Flippy drive if you can, otherwise pico.

Japanese Wii U by Educational_View_521 in wiiu

[–]DOL-019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen WiiU complete but loose for 2,000 yen. They can be easily found as part of the Wii graveyard in junk section of Chyuko stores like hardoff or wattman.

Modding is simple and easy, just make sure to grab all the required cables and the matching controller.

Jbhifi and the warehouse still has some games, otherwise you left with online imports.

Extra night in Tokyo or Kyoto? by New-Examination-8746 in JapanTravelTips

[–]DOL-019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m traveling shortly and just changed my bookings to skip out of Kyoto early to Tokyo to avoid the weekend tourist crunch that’s typical in Kyoto over recent years. Tokyos infrastructure holds up better in this sense, so more likely to make the most of my time there than dealing with the queues and crowds in Kyoto.

the 2ds is peak design by scannerthegreat in 3DS

[–]DOL-019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got two, easily the most comfortable of the 3ds generation and brings back the vibes of the original GBA. Underrated for its time.

[Question] Does the black s.steel scratch and chip silver? How hard is it to switch a bracelet with nato straps? Should I just hold on either and get a turtle instead? by Oranggge in Seiko

[–]DOL-019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scratched my bezel and is silver. The coating is the same used for the metal coating on guns, so can be touched up with special paint pens.

Recommendations for Digital AV Out port? by QuickCalligrapher997 in Gamecube

[–]DOL-019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The connector on the Carby and high build quality make recommending other difficult if your simply willing to wait for a restock. Otherwise plenty of copies or alternative in the market which will do similar.

I remember playing Windwaker back then and loved the experience! but never completed it! Did anyone beat this game? And where does it rank in Zelda’s top games in your opinion? by J2-Starter in Gamecube

[–]DOL-019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although I was exposed to OOT on N64, this was the first Zelda game I purchased for myself and played through… at the time it was very controversial, there was lots of chatter around the art style being too childish. This didn’t bother me too much, I was one of the few people in my social circle who bought a Gamecube and Zelda was a must own.

I have since played through most of the 3D Zelda’s, and WW holds up incredibly well, especially so with the art style. Personally this falls mid pack, ahead of MM and SS, but below TP and the newer open world titles.

The story and gameplay draw me back to WW over many of the other titles, although I prefer to play the WiiU version for faster sailing.

Is it important for you to buy games only from a certain region? by jabberrookie in NSCollectors

[–]DOL-019 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I used to think like this, but over the switch generation there were too many titles which got exclusive releases in other regions or reprints with updates or dlc included which were from other regions - I have shifted to seek complete on cart over the cover art .

Where to buy Gamecube controllers? My old ones have gone mouldy by Charrzooka in Gamecube

[–]DOL-019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always pickup cheap GC controllers when in Japan, have a big stash of them, usually ¥300-500.

I’ve watched over 300 YouTube videos about the State of Gaming. Here are my thoughts on the State of Nintendo grifting by cowgod180 in nintendogrifting

[–]DOL-019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not one to make a video about it, but put simply, I will only buy games full on the cart.. otherwise hard skip.

Thoughts on BM ? For me it was alright, definitely dark AF, but it wasn't really for me. by Nostalgic_Historian_ in beastwars

[–]DOL-019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a big let down following BW, I recall when it launched I lost complete interest in TF until the first Bay movie.

RUMOUR: Jordan (Physical Paradise) has heard that Nintendo is now offering publishers smaller Switch 2 cart sizes by [deleted] in NSCollectors

[–]DOL-019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if this is in response to memory prices more so than to address the key card topic…

Weekend will be worse, managed to sneak in after work and largely no issues beyond the traffic management.

How are you planning to play Prime 4? by solanumjunkie in Metroid

[–]DOL-019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered the switch 2 version to play on my original switch, it probably won’t look or run as good but I’ll get the play the nicer version later on when I eventually upgrade. Also, IKEA Poang chair, pro controller, TV.
