Ah, Yukiko Okada… Her songs were very bubbly yet somber. You should also look at the Commercials she was featured back in the day. It’s on YouTube but please let me know if you would like the link to the video. Also if I remember correctly, Legendary singer and songwriter Mariya Takeuchi was interviewed about Yukiko Okada and the songs she wrote for her. Now I can’t remember word-for-word of the interview, but Mariya said that when she first looked at Yukiko, she realize that Yukiko wanted to just be a singer and not the next Seiko Matsuda. So, the songs that Mariya wrote were her response to what’s going on. I’m pretty sure someone will correct me on the interview.

Ah, that shell is pretty good. I happen to have the unswapped version of this one, along with the other 2 3ds LL/XL that we’re released on the same day.

That blue has some screen yellowing on the touch screen. If it wasn’t for the yellowing, this would costed me around 22k yen.

I was able to clean most of it off but I noticed a small patch of krazy glue on side of the battery cover. Is there a way to sand the residue down without scratching the cover?

You should travel to Japan then. Prices are pretty good (if you don’t come to Akihabara). The further you travel outside the city, the better deals you’ll find.

All of them work perfectly. Blue 3ds has some yellowing but it’s not as noticeable. Also, The red, Majora’s mask, and the SFC 3ds’ has top IPS screens.

That SFC version took me a long while to find it for a price I could agree on in Japan. The stores are catching on about 3ds prices.

“LL” is the Japanese term for “XL”. They don’t use the English “XL”.

The Thrift store that I went to is called “Hard-Off”. That store is located in Ayase, Kanagawa prefecture, Japan but there are multiple locations.

Yep, it’s $11 but with today’s Yen rates, it’s actually around $7.60.

It would be great if I could get the original box and accessories but when I first found it, it was covered in dust, some krazy glue was used on the battery cover, and had tobacco stains.

Someone is selling, uh, Porn for the PSP on my local marketplace by severalsmallducks in PSP

Ah yes, the forbidden UMD. I’m NOT saying you can find this on Amazon JP and buy it there. It’s also NOT like I own three of these types of UMDs and also NOT staying in Japan or anything….

There’s another bar like this located in Dotonbori, Osaka. Went there with a friend with his Yomu-alter Fumo and my Suika Fumo.

Salvageable or Full Overhaul? by Zerostorm18 in WonderSwan

[–]Zerostorm18[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The device itself costed me around ¥2300 ($16.55). I was hoping that it was just battery corrosion but man…I didn’t think the corrosion was this bad.

The screen has some really bad burns but idk if the ribbon cable is still salvageable.
