Got $25,000? How about the rarest NES cart of all?

Posted by Ryan On May - 7 - 2009

Every once in a while a Nintendo World Championship cart will pop up for sale. These carts were given to the contestants of the 1990 NWC. There are about 100 grey carts and 20 something gold carts. Grey carts can pull anywhere from 5-10k, while gold carts can pull 10-15k+.

 

This particular one is claimed to be cart #1 and at $25k is probably the most expensive NES related item to date.

 

Crazy madness.

Resident Evil 5 press kits..Today!

Capcom announced about an hour ago that they will be selling the RE5 Tricell press kits to the public starting at 3pm pst (6pm est). Very short notice but I know I couldn’t live without one..or two. No price has been announced. No one will know untill the item shows up.

 

I doubt these will sell out as fast as the SF2THDR and MM9 kits did, so there should be enough time to secure one.

 

 

 

 

Here is the link to refresh if you are interested.

BlazBlue pre-orders

Posted by Ryan On April - 13 - 2009

blazblue_logoNCSX and Play-Asia are now taking pre-orders for the import fighter BlazBlue. While this game isn’t going to be stealing any thunder from SF4 of KoF12, it will be good to get some Guilty Gear style action in HD. Hori is also releasing some themed joysticks for BlazBlue. Of course the 360 users will be getting the inferior joystick compared to the PS3. Not that it matters though, if you don’t have a NTSC/J 360 you’ll have to play it on PS3 anyway.

 

 

Play-Asia:

BlazBlue PS3 $68.90 | Hori wireless BlazBlue Fighting stick PS3 $119.99

BlazBlue 360 $68.90 | Hori wired BlazBlue Fighting stick 360 $99.99

NCSX: 

BlazBlue PS3 $65.90 | Hori wireless BlazBlue Fighting stick PS3 $139.99

BlazBlue 360 $65.90 | Hori wired BlazBlue Fighting stick 360 $99.99
