It is on the Gamecube knockoff controllers. No sign of Nintendo or GC on them. The real orange controller alone is worth much more than $15, but all those good games too!

Went to an anime & gaming convention today. The retro games vendors that had attended in years past weren't there this time unfortunately. But I did manage to snag some good stuff for cheap.

I don't do a lot on eBay but going through my N64 stuff the other day I realized I didn't have Diddy Kong Racing any longer (our original must be with one of my siblings). Found a seller online, who clearly was doing a one-time eBay cleanse (not a re-seller) as he had some misc items and then his N64 and some individual games. Damn if this isn't a near mint cart (looked good in the eBay pic too) for $12.

It's........ beautiful. *sniffle*

Comes with a soundtrack and some other goodies.

The instruction booklet is hardcover and over 100 pages. Full of Ys lore and other interesting stuff. Read about a fourth of it while I was on the can earlier.

I lucked out on the price of this one too. Seller claimed it was slightly damaged and that a "box corner was crumpled". I didn't see an issue and figured he was mistaken, until I realized he was talking about the inner cardboard. :lol:

Gonna fire this up as soon as I figure out how to get a Japanese Windows 95 game running on my PC.

Hopefully it's that simple.

I dunno if I will have to install a language pack or whatever. Actually I may just try to run it on my laptop, I can type in Japanese on this so I must have installed something at some time?

If you have Japanese language support already installed, then you can use Applocale to run it in Japanese. May need to find instructions on forcing the install (on Vista at least, I think 7 just works). It's only officially supported on XP and Server 2003.

Or you can switch the locale of the OS, but I'd go with Applocale first.
