A city of culture, a city of love.

Great News for the City I Live in the other day, Hull won the City of culture 2017 bid, Get in, Its about time Hull was shed in a more positive light and this has always been something this blog was shooting for to show how monumentally spectacular this city can be to people who visit or live here and to celebrate this achievement where going to have a few more pictures of Hull in bewteen the pick ups this week.

Super Mario Bros. On NES for £3, I picked up that boxed NES, So all the way round market I was thinking NES Game, and when I was about to give up and go home I Saw this on the way out.


Another Market Find This plug and play Namco Acrade stick thing, Its Pretty sweet £2.50 for Rally X, Dig Dug, Bosconian, Galaxian, and Pac-Man All in there Arcade presentaion

Check out Ebay to see if i could get a few more NES games Digger T rock for under £4 quid and Isolated Warrior for £4.95 in the box with the book, Now £5 for a so so nes cart is about right but boxed with book it seems a sweet deal I don't think I have had a boxed NES game before.

Finding a bit of Retro in Cash converters with Out Run 99p and Kirby's Block ball for £1.99

And some Trade at Cex Got me San Andreas On Xbox It was the only thing in there that day with any resale value but when you only traded £5 worth of crap for it I don't mind.

 

My Health Coach on DS for £1 this Has no money in it I just Fancy having a go with the pedometer that it came with so I can see some DS charts on my daily moochings.

Jurassic Park Rampage Edition, I love the First Jurassic Park Game on mega drive, This one is more a straight up Action then the first game but still pretty decent £1 for a boxed Mega drive game now is really good if its not Sports of Sonic 1.


Crash Bash £1 and Dino Crisis 2 Go on! its been a while since I found some Decent PS1 titles and these to are up there both complete with books and black label on both Sweet!




Cash converters for Hit and Run and The Simpsons Game £1 Each on these not some much for Trade but Ebay still likes to pay about £4-5 on the both so not bad for some easy feedback.

A Sealed up copy of Dune on PC, For £1 this Game is comedy gold due to some messed up characters animations and dialogue.







San Andreas on Playstation 2 for £1 Had GTA 3 inside the box as well Swee... Not really.

And no Thrift Would be complete of late without a Copy of Star wars battlefront 2 this time on PC with the book and serial number in good con.

So the Next Gen is Kicking off this week, Our lass has to wait tell The 23rd of December to get her Xbone because the Pre orders are back up, I ask her why she went with Xbox one? Her Answer was I want to play Dead Rising 3 and Killer instinct.



And That's Really the point We have two Ugly black boxes with 8gb of ram new on sale with hardly any Games to play on them, They are both way to similar without More Exclusive titles to define there product. It gives me time to Save up and wait it out on PS4 to get some more games out because Forza 5 and killer instinct is enough to win me over, But what of right now for something Next Gen That has anything worth playing on it?

The Wii U, At the moment the only Next Gen Console with a Stella Line up of Exclusives titles to choose from, From the Newly Released Super Mario 3D worlds that is getting 10/10 reviews all over the web to all the 1st party titles available for the system the likes of Pikmin 3, Wind waker HD, New Super mario Bros. wii U, Super Luigi, And the system its sell having a host of impressive features, I don't know about you but I always sit down with the pad to a console and can't find the remote, The wii u's control pad functions as a TV remote Sweet!

The Duel Screen set up works really well To, The amount of times I am Rocking Mario on the Game pad while watching Youtube on my TV, You can take the game pad all over the house and it will still stay connected. and some HTML 5 games work with the pads buttons on the Internet so you can used it to play stuff you find online.
The MIIverse is another nice feature its like facebook but for your Nintendo games and friend and the fact you can Used Wiimotes as extra controllers off the bat is fantastic the CO-OP mode in the Mario bros game is Fantastic using the wiimotes, All in all the Wii U is made of win and still has the Classic Nintendo innervation behind it, You know your playing a Nintendo console even if you are playing some old shit 3rd party port from 2011 you know its Nintendo because of the console and your getting a proper multi player experiences as well as not screwing you out of backwards compatibility wth all wii games working and up-scaled, Xbone and PS4 seems like the only differences in the two consoles is where the analogue stick are placed.

And Finally By the time I am Writing this All the blockbusters in Hull will be shutdown and closed forever, This may come as a shock to some, Because it seemed like the analby road Block busters Near me Was the only store keeping the rest of the company afloat, Anyways the internet killed it and that's just fine I was only ever in there for retro stuff That they stopped carrying towards the end of there lifespan, there replacing my local block buster with an Iceland so at the very least I can get a Sunny D for a £1 on my way to the charity shops up passed there.
