Pssh, that's nothing I'm a small indie developer and I just created my first game. You can buy it right here. http://www.amazon.com/The-Elder-Scrolls-Skyrim-Xbox-360/dp/B004HYK956
Costs for the starting, complete virtual reality package that includes the headset, audio, 2 motion controllers, and the platform:
(Complete here means full headset tracking, motion controllers for hand tracking, and some sort of headphone solution for audio)
|Oculus Rift | HTC Vive | Playstation VR
---|---|---|---
Platform | $850 PC | $850 PC | $350 PS4
Headset | $600 | $800 | $400
Controllers | $??? | $0 | $60 ($30x2)
Tracking | $0 | $0 | $45
Audio | $0 | $0 | $0
Total | $1450+++ | $1650+ | $875+
* For HTC Vive and PSVR earbud alternatives, headphones have a lot of price variation. Depending on the brands you get, generally the more you pay for your audio, the better your virtual reality audio experience will be. My virtual reality headphone-type (open, closed, in-ear, etc.) breakdown can be found here. I also highly recommend looking at Head-Fi's price recommendation list for good ideas on headphones to consider purchasing.
------------------
Quick, cheap PC with minimum Rift/Vive specifications that includes everything as if you're starting from absolutely nothing.

You can cut costs further by removing keyboard, mouse, monitor, and perhaps finding a way to get a discount on the operating system. You can also change the case, or the storage for something cheaper. You may be able to lower the power supply, but I don't recommend it. If you remove the OS, monitor, keyboard, and mouse, you can cut about $160 off.

There are a few free VR games on the PSN store I believe.
https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-ca/free-on-ps-vr/cid=STORE-MSF77008-PSVRFREEG
You need PS Move controllers to go with the PS VR. Don't think they come with them. Here's an example: https://www.amazon.ca/PS3-Motion-Controller-Standard-Edition/dp/B002I0J51U
You can get Little Big Planet online from the PSN store, and in pretty much any gaming store. It's kinda old, so im sure you can find used copies at say a EBGames easily.
Your new PS4 may have also come with a PS+ trial in the box. Start with that to see if you'd like to pick up a year membership. PS+ gives you 6 free games each month (2 PS4, 2 PS3, 2 Vita games), but you need to keep your PS+ membership to play them. If you stop the membership, you do not loose the games, you just cant play them until you re-subscribe. You also get extra sale prices on games.
I love Metal Gear... and I already have two collections:
Metal Gear: The Essential Collection released in 2008 (this one was criticized by some for not including the Gamecube remake, but rather including a PS1 disk)
Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection released 2011 (again avoids any remake of MGS1 or GCN port, also leaves out Portable Ops: is basically MSG2, 3, and Peace Walker)
Is this a new thing? Release a random collection of MG games every 3 years? If there's an HD remake of the original Metal Gear (a la, the project they shut down) and MG2.. along with a port/remake of the GCN version - that would be worthwhile I guess.
If it's HD-collection redux with slightly "more HD" versions of the previous games....? I can't see them having done proper remakes in this time frame. Previous HD collection + Ground Zeroes? Same issue.
((5 x 250) + (12 x 200) + 6,000,000 + 229,825) / (52 * 400)
= 300 years working the same job
poor kid
I have some great news then, because you can play that and the DLC for just $14 right now and Rockstar can put their resources toward something we don't already have!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M35YLLY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Edit: I badly screwed up the title. It should read, "Upgrading from Composite to S-Video", not "Component". Component would only be available on this system with an RGB mod, and then an HD Retrovision SNES Component cable.
I have a 2009-era Sharp TV with one S-Video input, so I decided to try it. Overall, I'd say it was worth $8. I wouldn't say that it's immediately noticeable, but when you look closely, you can definitely see sharper lines around big color changes. I can also see each pixel more clearly, and you can see the Nintendo 64's anti-aliasing and horizontal blur at work.
Here's what I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LE3EAIK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
Wii-U
To play this game you need to get a Wii U. You can play any Wii U game ^^(obviously) and you can play any Wii game. It also has Virtual Console which is older games from the NES to the Gamecube you can download and play on your Wii U.
I saw a post a few days back about GameStop having Wii U for $99 USD. New Wii Us are very expensive.
Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward has one of the best stories of any game i've ever played, and it happens to be on 3DS. It is, however, a sequel to the equally amazing 999 for DS. I would recommend getting 999 and finding out if it grabs you the same way it grabbed me, and then getting VLR if you want to. You can get 999 for 25 dollars on amazon. Very much worth it. http://www.amazon.com/9-Hours-Persons-Doors-Nintendo-DS/dp/B003VR5PPY Fair Warning: They are choose your own adventure visual novels. With lots of puzzles throughout. That being said they are still both fun and gripping games.
The World Ends With You. Hands down, flat-out, bar none. This game pulls off a miracle by making the gameplay and the plot about the same thing.
My main suggestions (with links):
Well that did make my frontal lobe hurt. My whole brain, rather.
Also,
>A graphics card costs more than a Wii U, PS4 or Xbox One.
No. A Wii U costs $320, a PS4 costs $390 and an Xbox One costs $300.
My video card, an AMD Radeon HD 7850, costs $170. It runs everything on highest settings (that includes Skyrim with lots of (graphical) mods, and more).
(I don't have a VisionTek video card, but it's basically the same thing.)
Edit: some words.
Get the Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection
it has every major Metal Gear Solid (1-4) game you would need to play besides Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain. Otherwise if you can't find the Legacy Collection get the HD Collection. Keep in mind though if you do get the HD collection instead you will have to seperatly get the original Metal Gear Solid (It's on PSN for PS3) and Metal Gear Solid 4.
Play them in order:
Dude, new PS3s go for less than that. lol
Being jail-broken doesn't add value in most people's eyes; certainly not $100.
Get it digitally and play it on your Xbox One via backwards compatibility. The game just went on sale an hour ago for about $10. (Requires Gold membership)
Or
get the game of the year disc version that includes Undead Nightmare on Amazon for $15 plus shipping. link
I don't know if you're specifically talking about UK, but this bundle definitely exists in NA: http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00M35YLLY/ref=pe_385040_30332200_TE_item
This might interest you. It's functionally a classic controller, but it has the form factor of the GameCube controller.
I've definitely seen this as well, and find myself agreeing with pretty much everything you said. I had a friend Gabe who when talking about a new game, the first thing he'd always comment on was its appearance. "Woah dawg, those graphics look sick!" While me and my other friend would wait till we actually played the thing and 7 times out of 10 the thing sucked. He bought these games without researching like OP originally, and eventually he learned as well, but it took him a bit longer and he'll still play something that looks super flashy to this day.
I can't help but get suckered in as well when a big title that I heavily enjoyed as a kid drops. Most recent example of this being RE6. I picked it up at midnight release and was super stoked that my SO wanted to play it with me coop.
First, the lack of customization completely pissed us off, it's like they extremely downgraded from RE4/5 and somehow thought they were improving the system by getting rid of all gun customization and instead having a small pool of about 20 perks you can choose 3 from to equip. (Speaking of perks, they seem to be a growing trend as well... they used to just be limited to RPGs if I'm not mistaken.) RE6's level design was pretty bad, 90% of the time it's go from point a to point b. There's tons of rooms in the game that are just for you to gawk at and pass through, zero interaction, just serving the purpose of simply being there and looking shiny. And shiny it is, RE6 is the best looking RE made so far, yet what's the point of all this awesome graphics when you can't do anything with it?
We beat the 3 main campaigns because we wanted our money's worth, and after we checked online we saw capcom say they'd release coop in a free patch (GGCapcom) to ada wong's campaign so that you didn't have to go through all 3 main campaigns cooperatively and then get to the final one and have to play single player. Awesome. But months later, we realized we gave even less shits than ever. We started it up, played one chapter, SO got mad at me for not sticking together, and we kinda just looked at eachother and realized this wasn't really fun. Haven't touched it since. The lasting appeal isn't there. What images of it left in my brain are basically just explosions, slick graphics, and overly cheesy cutscenes. None of this draws me back in.
Interesting note to end on here, RE6 came out on october 2nd, 2012, while skyrim came out november 11th, 2011.
RE6 is going for 19 bucks
Skyrim is still like pretty much 40 bucks
Top right is standard OEM composite cable, bottom right is nice new s-video cable w/out the composite video sitting unterminated from Amazon @ http://amzn.to/29Fx78x for only $7.50! Compatible with SNES, N64 and GCN! Honestly got a bigger jump in quality than I expected... Ordering more of these now!
GameCube and Game Boy Player is the standard setup. The startup disc for the Game Boy Player can be a bit pricey these days, but you can softmod the GameCube and use the free Game Boy Interface software as an alternative.
From there, you can get an HDMI adapter and HDMI capture card (lots of those to choose from). Or if you need to save some money, a good S-Video capture device like the IO Data GV-USB2, an S-Video splitter, and a GameCube S-Video cable will still get you a pretty decent-looking capture. Either way, set it up in OBS and you're good to go.
I'd suggest also getting an SNES controller adapter. I find it way nicer than using the GBA as a controller. There's also one for Wii Classic Controllers if you prefer.
Nintendo Wii U Pro
If you're super lucky, and near a Walmart (in the US), most stores have these on clearance for $12. If you can't find one, it's worth every penny. These controllers are discontinued and will be only going up in price. Search your zipcode here
Note: The Switch Pro is just as glorious and actually feels better in your hand. It's a bit smaller too and will work with any Xbox One / PS4 controller case. Unfortunately, at $70, I just can't recommend the controller unless it pulls double-duty with the RetroPie and Nintendo Switch.
Edit: After further testing with the Switch Pro, there's a few bugs involving the left stick. It works fine upon first pairing, anytime after ... not so great.
$300 USD for a used ION kit? I'd just get an Alesis Nitro Kit instead.
You'll want the MPA if you do go that route as well as a small MIDI to MIDI cable.
https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Rock-Band-MIDI-PRO-3/dp/B0042B3EOM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1549367856&sr=8-3&keywords=Midi+pro+adapter+ps4
Oh boy. There's a large list of games I believe a worth completing or otherwise sinking hours in to.
Shooters
Borderlands: GOTY - I enjoyed this more than 2, but I also feel like it's more grindy than BL2
Borderlands 2
Red Orchestra 2: Rising Storm - Gather a few friends and RO2: Rising Storm is a blast. It tries hard to pretend it's realistic, but don't take it too seriously. It's a WW2 shooter, but damn it if it isn't satisfying.
The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series - I linked CoP as it's the newest game, but also the best in my opinion. It's an open world, apocalyptic shooter with RPG elements. This game needs the Misery mod to go along with it. It's free and adds a legendary amount of content and replayability. In particular, fans of roguelikes and games like Dark Souls would probably like this game.
Spec Ops: The Line - No game in 2012 touched this game's story. I won't spoil much, but the action and gunplay is enough to keep you involved with the story line. If you're a fan of plots, you need to play this.
Saint's Row 2 - Arguably the best SR game, the amount of pure content and hilarious combat isn't to be missed.
Red Faction: Guerilla - This is $1.99 right now on Steam, so there's no excuse to not play this. Open world, everything is destructible and fun to blow up. I've put 120 hours in to this. There are a couple mods out there that make it even more fun, but this is the best Red Faction game to date.
Just Cause 2 - While the singleplayer is moddable and not to be missed, the recent JC2 Multiplayer mod is absolute madness. It's Red Faction: Guerilla on a hefty amount of crack.
Hitman - While Absolution is regarded as the low point by some, it's still a fun game. Killing people has never been more fun. Definitely worth a look.
Far Cry 3 - This game is nuts. Do not skip this.
PAYDAY 2 - The first game was awesome, the second one is just generous. While I often argue they were lazy with the first one, the second one is absolutely FILLED with things to spend your (ingame) money on. It's a very large game with a generous helping of content that is even further expanded upon if you play with friends.
Sleeping Dogs - For some reason, this game demands your attention. There is not a crazy, Skyrim-level amount of stuff to do, but for some odd reason it grabs and keeps your attention for hours on end. Definitely a fun open world game, the story isn't bad either.
RPGs/Strategy
LEGO Lord of the Rings - LEGO games are great, but I found LotR to be particularly satisfying. Easy to drop in and play with friends, as well.
The Guild 2 - If you've ever wanted to own your own bakery, start a family, run an Assassin organization,
or become mayor of a city then this game is for you. Multiplayer adds an extra level of fun.
Crusader Kings 2 While the DLC is a bit pricey, there is a lot to choose from. If you enjoy history, or alternative history, you will definitely enjoy this. Establish your own kingdom or conquer a current one, with a large focus on continuing your family line.
Fallout - I found Fallout 3 to be more enjoyable than New Vegas, but there isn't a bad Fallout game and you can't go wrong.
Deus Ex: HR - While it wasn't everyone's cup of tea, the visuals and RPG elements make this game a winner in my book.
XCOM: EU/EW - XCOM: EW is one of the better strategy games to come out as of late, and it's expansion -- Enemy Within -- only makes it better.
KOTOR 2 - If you can tolerate older games, you shouldn't miss out on KOTOR 2. While KOTOR 1 is awesome, 2 just blew me away when it first came out. Even if you don't like Star Wars or know anything about it, the feeling of becoming a Jedi is so awesome. And there is hours and hours and HOURS of content, the mods alone have the potential to add upwards to 100 hours of replayability.
The Elder Scrolls - Even if you've played Skyrim or Oblivion, try out some you've never played or perhaps revisit older games like Morrowind. If you have never touched an ES game, now's the time.
Anno 2070 - I'm not so sure this is worth $30, but if you wait for a sale you have a pretty sweet strategy game. It's different, but in a good way. I can only recommend you try it to see if you like it.
Action/Other
Assassin's Creed - You would find quickly that AC is one of the most time-consuming, visually-stunning, heart-racing franchises of it's time. While it had it's low points, it could very well be my favorite franchise of all time. If you aren't interested in all of the games, AC4: Black Flag is a fresh start. You don't need prior knowledge of the other games to play it. But not playing the entire series would be unfortunate.
Binary Domain - This is a very underrated game with a very awesome story. Worth a look. It's on sale right now!
Game Dev Tycoon - Not an entirely original idea, but perhaps the most well executed. With a growing list of mods and a new multiplayer mod that adds a lot to the experience, it can easily take up hours of your life.
Hotline Miami - This game is like... I don't know. It's awesome. It's bloody murder wrapped in to an LSD-tripping pig mask. Just play it, you won't be disappointed.
The Wolf Among Us - If you enjoy story-packed games with a wild amount of replayability, you can't go wrong with Telltale. The Wolf Among Us is their most recent new endeavor and even if you haven't read the comics, it's an amazing, heartfelt story. 10/10 would wolf again.
POSTAL 2 - If there was ever a game to channel your inner psychopath, it's this.
Brutal Legend - I went in to this game not knowing what to expect, having no prior knowledge of it. It has a surprising amount of content and more to unlock. Awesome soundtrack and great voice acting and a pretty large open world make this a great experience.
Metal Gear Solid - This is up there with AC. I absolutely love Metal Gear Solid. You can pick up MGS4 for cheap, also.
Sims 3 - This game can be very stupid fun, or very serious fun. It depends on how you want to play it. Which is fun to me.
EDIT: Fixed some stuff, added some games
Still waiting for Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii to come down in price. One of these days...
As for games I've actually waited a long time to play, the winner there is probably either Half Life 1 (played it for the first time this year) or maybe some old Atari games (played on one of those battery-powered hook-to-TV consoles maybe 7 years ago).
Interesting, and yet, Amazon.ca is selling them as a retailer. However, all the Amazon.com entries I found were indeed from other merchants.
You should get svideo instead! But eBay and Amazon work well.
This one works well
Gam3Gear SNES Nintendo N64 Gamecube S Video Cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LE3EAIK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_-GNRAbA17YEAR
Same, turns out the little thing on the bottom side is actually showing the game box with the disc sticking out and not a wiiu with the disc going in.

Didn't they announce a bundle with the game and the adapter? I don't know if there's one with the console. Nintendo does like their console bundles though...
Bundle on Amazon listed by Nintendo
http://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-Bros-Bundle-Wii-nintendo/dp/B00M35YLLY
You should just order it from Amazon, looks like the controller is on sale right now and doesn't the WiiU use HDMI?
You talking about these beauties? I'm eyeing one for a Nov. purchase.
You could get MGS Collection and Uncharted 3 for about the price of BF3 Premium.
A quick Amazon search reveals:
UC3 is $33 new, $25 used:
http://www.amazon.com/Uncharted-3-Drakes-Deception-Playstation/dp/B004EQCCI4/
MGS is $30 new, $29 used:
http://www.amazon.com/Metal-Gear-Solid-Collection-Playstation-3/dp/B0050SX97I/
so I say go with that!
(PS3 Adapter only works on Rock Band 4 in-game on PS4)
Other info:
For Nitro (if you go with it) the in-game notes Ride & Crash (Blue and Green cymbals) will be reversed. Not to worry the manual has guide on how to change them without just swapping cables.

Others:
You can either play them chronologically in the order in which the games were released (I recommend this), or play them chronologically in the order in which the story occurs. Either is fine but definitely do not skip the original Metal Gear Solid.
My recommendation is to buy either:
I don't know about you, but I find it difficult to start from newer games going into older games because you get "spoiled" by the updated combat mechanics of the newer games, which could make playing the older games more tedious. If you play the older ones first, you'll appreciate the better combat mechanics of the newer games. Having said that, I think that Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes for Gamecube isn't as clunky as the original since it's a remake. TBQH with you, though, it's probably not as bad as you might think.
SAVAGES, SAVAGES, BARELY EVEN GAMERS!
The US is getting that bundle, with the controller, adapter and game
There are a few options right now - The Mayflash adapter lets you connect a GCN controller to a Wii remote and have it spoof a Classic Controller. Additionally, the PDP Wired Fight Pad and HORI Battle Pad are Classic Controllers, but modeled after the classic Gamecube controller shape.
There's always the chance that Nintendo will make the GCN adapter work for things other than SSB for Wii U, but I'm not sure I'd hold my breath. Honestly if they just made it work in Wii mode it'd be amazing.
Those new mini consoles that have like 40-50 games built in. They’re modern versions of older consoles. Megadrive, Super Nintendo (SNES), PS1
SNES one
Megadrive one
PlayStation one
Turtle Beach These will do fine
they go on sale once in a while, I got them about 2 weeks after the game came out for $43. Like stated above, they are game changers. I never liked big headphones in the past but these are really comfortable. Nice short cord to the controller, easy button set up for muting and adjusting volume.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-Licensed-Nintendo-MultiPort-Playstand/dp/B01A827XHM/
or
http://www.8bitdo.com/gbros/
Or any cheap stand with a USB C to USB A female adapter. The GC adapter only needs the black cable for all 4 ports to function.
This is another alternative to play Smash on the go that allows you to also charge your device. It'll cost you about the same too (price ranges from $40-50 depending on retailer)
Hori Multiport Playstand

Amazon has similar deals (a little higher, unfortunately, but I bet you'd save money on the gas.)
Yep, it's the equivalent of the GOTY edition if I'm not mistaken. New disc versions only go down to $15, and rarely $10. Normal price is $20 on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Red-Dead-Redemption-Game-Year-microsoft/dp/B005N4HBE6/
Also, Siren Blood Curse Episodes 1-12 only go on sale once a year during the Halloween sale. This is the lowest price it's ever been.
Castlevania SOTN is a PS1 classic that's playable on PS3, PSP, and Vita, but you might want to go with the Dracula X Chronicles for PSP/Vita as it's only $2 more and comes with original Rondo of Blood, its remake, and SOTN. Only the remake is playable at first; you'll need to unlock the others.
Let's hope you're on PS4. XB1 uses are left in the wind atm.
If so, pick up a MIDI Pro Adapter NOW. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0042B3EOM/
The Alesis Nitro kit is a very nice entry-level ekit for 300. Works like a champ on both consoles.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0187KO8X4
Only other thing you'd need is a MIDI cable.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000068NTU
This enhances your rock band experience 1000%
Any ekit with a midi-out port on the brain will work with the Midi Pro Adapter. The hitch is that many of the more inexpensive ekits have "midi-via-usb" ports that require a program running on a computer to convert the ekit's output to an input the Midi Pro Adapter can accept. If your midi-out port looks like this, you're good.
Once you have an ekit plugged into the MPA, it's as simple as setting the corresponding midi notes for a Rock Band config.
Also, if you're on Xbox One, you need the ridiculously expensive out-of-print legacy wired controller adapter to play with RB4. PS4 doesn't have this issue and can use the PS3 MPA just fine.
> will it recognise the difference between toms snare and kick?
Yes.
Your best bet is to get the Roll Limitless Adapter, an adapter made by a Rock Bad player who posts here. That's a little cheaper than the Official MIDI Pro Adapter, works better, and works whether your E-kit has standard MIDI or USB MIDI.
yes, so long as you preorder, but honestly I would guess that any copy you get on day 1 will have it, though I could be wrong. You can preorder from Amazon with the cloth map and release-day delivery for only $1 more.
And the Undead Nightmare DLC was pretty awesome as well, OP ought to consider picking up the GOTY Red Dead Redemption pack, which contains all the DLC.
This is the new one he just posted
Wrong type. I bought this one a few years back for S video. It works on SNES, N64 and Gamecube...

I've heard about plenty of issues with the Hori FC4, but not so much the Hori FC for PS4. Works great for both PC and PS4 (if you play PC but want to go to tourneys on PS4). I play Zangief and the Dpad has been churned hard but still works fine (it was stiff to start with). I pulled it apart to clean once and no issues since.
9.5/10 would recommend.
Honestly, the new Hori Fighting Commander
The MCZ fightpads have issues largely surrounding the DPAD.
Wtf? it's been in stock in the UK for a while now at a discounted price wonder why it's not selling out here like it is in America?
EDIT: I say discounted price but if you convert it into dollars than not really lmao (god damn UK VAT)

This cable is a true s-video cable and it works great, much better than composite if your TV supports it.

Alternatively Gamecube games look perfect on a Wii over component too, the cable and console are both available for cheap. This doesn't resolve for Gameboy Player unfortunately, wish we had a better solution for that.
On a related note: Amazon updated the picture for the Smash Bros. 4 Wii U GC+GC Adapter bundle. It shows an actual box now, with not only the amiibo logo, but the E10+ rating too.
Downloading on 3ds, Getting http://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-Bros-Bundle-Wii-nintendo/dp/B00M35YLLY/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1410541524&sr=1-2&keywords=hyrule+warriors for the wii u.
The nintendo ones will probably be back in stock by the end of this month I'd say, hopefully with some amount to back up the demand. Last time they were available they were sold out almost instantly!
I will tell you this much: the jump from 3ds to wiiu is MUCH larger than the jump from WiiU Pro controller to GC controller, speaking from personal experience. Just getting an actual controller with actual joysticks (no offense, circle pad) will make a world of difference for you in terms of character control and responsiveness. I've seen a lot of people on this sub comment saying they felt like they got worse at the game when they got to the wiiu version; I think that's because control with the 3ds can be a little forgiving in comparison, which in the end just takes away a bit of the precision that you'll really need (and that, in my opinion, you can only really accomplish with the GC controller).
So I would say get Sm4sh for wiiu and pick up one of those controllers if you can, though I know they're a little bit pricey. It's hard to say when you'll have the opportunity to get the wiiu adapter, and this controller will be useful for other wiiu games outside of sm4sh (it's also my favorite controller for Mario Kart, for what that's worth) in the meantime, if that makes you feel any better. I've actually gotten very used to the pro controller and it works great as a substitute for the gamecube controller. let me know if you have questions about it!

Got mine about a month ago, really good. I used to run a Saturn pad through a Mayflash adapter and x360ce. Even though the purported lag through Mayflash is low, I IMMEDIATELY noticed a difference in input accuracy. It actually blew my mind because for the first month of SFV, I thought I just sucked in my input execution and had difficulty landing some combos. Turns out it was just adapter lag.
This seems like a ridiculous cash grab to kickstart. If anyone else produces something similar (very easy) and publishes the model (also easy) then your pricepoint has to compete with very cheap printing services. Even if you are integrating a usb-C dock with passthrough you are looking at a parts cost of 20-ish if you have a good relationship with your supplier, 30 for the GCC dock if you are going OEM plus plastic costs, and labor costs to refine each print. Your design will offer power passthrough, but that will make people paranoid, as well. I am not saying this is a terrible idea, but I did the same thing a few months back in just a few hours - I actually considered an integrated USB-C to A dock with power passthrough, but even from alibaba I couldn't get a quote I was happy with. I didn't try for long - USB C to single A dongles are about a buck and work fine. This keeps the final costs waaaaaay down.
I am not saying you shouldn't do this - but with the hori multiport play stand (and hori is well trusted in the smash scene) already out you are going to have to target essentially that price point, which I think will be very difficult if you intend to print and retail these yourself, or with a small staff, to turn any reasonable profit.
My advice would be to look at a high quality snap-together design you can have injection molded. this will hugely increase your costs - 20-50K for molds depending on who and where you go with, but an actual dock+GCC adapter with passthrough charging would be a significantly more useful venture than "it's like the hori thing with the GCC stuck to the bottom" which I think will be very difficult to pull off successfully unless you somehow manage to beat a 70 dollar price point.

Assassin's Creed is a great game series, but it's pretty violent - you play an assassin, after all. If you want to give it a shot, start with AC2 - it's a much better game than AC1.
Given that you liked Phoenix Wright (oh I do love Feenie.. there need to be more games in that series like yesterday), you could give Ghost Trick a shot. It's got a very similar sort of "feel" to it, though it's a bit more puzzle-y and less investigate-y, if that makes sense. It's by the same folks who did PW, for what that's worth, and I highly enjoyed it. I found the puzzle concepts really neat, too.
And given that you like mystery novels, I recommend 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors. Lots of drama, puzzles, decisions, and many different endings. Also lots of reading - it feels more like a book than PW did, to me. I haven't finished this one myself, but it sounds like it might be something you would enjoy. I liked it well enough, it was just more serious that what I was looking for at the time, and I haven't gone back to it yet.
Note, I'm assuming you have a DS of some fashion, since you said you'd played PW; both Ghost Trick and 999 are DS games.
Hope you find something that you enjoy, and happy gaming!

360 Skyrim: $54.79 on amazon.com
PC Skyrim: $43.99 on amazon.com
That's just a very quick search, not including incredibly common Steam sales (one of the major sources of cheap PC games), Skyrim was recently ~$25 new.
From Amazon's product description.
> The Game of the Year Edition includes the full Red Dead Redemption game and all current free and paid DLC such as 'Undead Nightmare', 'Legends and Killers Pack', 'Liars and Cheats Pack', 'Hunting and Trading Outfits Pack', 'Outlaws To The End Co-Op Mission Pack' and the recently released 'Myths and Mavericks Bonus Pack'.It will also feature the Deadly Assassin Outfit, War Horse and Golden Guns Weapon Pack pre-order DLC and the 'Solomon's Folly' single-player gang hangout and challenges.
There aren't any substantive difference in terms of game play or content. The 3DS version adds a few silly features like figure collecting and streetpass functions (which just provides tokens for the figure collecting thing), but I don't honestly think anyone used those features a lot. They're entirely separate from the game, and sort of just tacked on at the end.
The main differences are in terms of graphics, but I honestly didn't mind the 3DS version at all. I really like it. I sort of prefer the 3DS graphics in a way because of my expectations of the two mediums (handheld vs. home console). I have no problem playing a handheld game with graphics like Xenoblade 3D, because the game itself is impressive for a 3DS game in terms of world size and content. However, on a home console, Xenoblade graphics feel outdated by now, and I've found that Wii games have this weird "cloudy" look on modern HDTVs. It might look better connected to a CRT TV, or maybe if you used component cables, but I don't have either option, so I'm stuck with the cloudiness of Wii games.
Then there's price and availability. You can get typically get Xenoblade 3D anywhere from $30 - $35, and it'll almost always be available. For the Wii version, right now, your best bet is the International versions they're selling on Amazon if you're in the US. The region seems odd, but it's compatible with NA consoles. Once these run out, you'll be stuck looking on eBay for copies that are sold easily for $60 - $70+ until NoA gets Xenoblade Chronicles on the eShop, as it's currently available in EU and JP.
It's a bigger investment but it'll give you a more flawless experience while playing drums.
[This is the midi adapter] (https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Rock-Band-MIDI-PRO-3/dp/B0042B3EOM). You can plug any e-kit (electronic drum kit) into it, and use it to play Rock Band. I personally use [this one] (https://www.amazon.com/Alesis-Nitro-Kit-Electronic-Cymbals/dp/B0187KO8X4/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1496718032&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=alesis+nitro)
Uhm, the PC version is actually 45 cents cheaper on Amazon. You don't need a fancy collectors edition to use mods! So... I heartily recommend the PC version.
http://www.amazon.com/Elder-Scrolls-V-Skyrim-Xbox-360/dp/B004HYK956
I just read a number of reviews on Amazon that say the PS3 version becomes increasingly unstable and then unplayable. It has over 150 one-star reviews because of this. The 360 doesn't appear to have that issue, but you might want to check it on some other sites or reviews to be sure.

That's because it wasn't published by Nintendo, which regularly under-produces games and they end up costing more after a few years. Seriously, this launched for $60 two years ago and there's no way to buy a digital copy.

I’ve seen the original on eBay for like 65.
If I were you, I would look into using the fight pad. It reports itself to the Wii as a classic controller pro and so should be compatible with all games that work with the classic controller pro, but it is shaped like a GameCube controller.
I've never used one because I have a white Wii that accepts actual GameCube controllers. However, this is what I would look into if I were in your situation. It is an officially licensed product, so it should be of pretty good quality I would think.

You could keep an eye on /r/GameDeals/ and /r/wiiu/ as well, or wait for black Friday deals. Maybe a Smash bros wii u bundle will be announced. I would expect that at some point Nintendo will have refurbished consoles back in stock. Maybe that helps.

*Edit 3: Also it took me all of 30 seconds to find these three, I'm sure there are more.
I think /u/8drawr means the pro controller but the actual pro pad is a tool for the 3DS
If you require a Gamecube controller soon, and do not already have an adapter, I highly recommend the HORI HORI Battle Pad Turbo. It includes a turbo function, ZL and ZR buttons, as well has a Home button and -/+ buttons. The triggers are different from the regular one, but they are still great. It feels the exact same to hold as a regular GCC. They instead hook up to a Wiimote, and are wireless through that. I almost never tell people to buy third party controllers, but for this scenario, I think they are very amazing for only $25.
They are not hard to find at retailers, but for online they appear to be the second best thing, so get them quick, they are running out fast.
(Also comes in Luigi Version)
Buy this instead: http://www.amazon.com/PS4-PS3-compatible-Fighting-commander-14210671/dp/B017QORK8W
If you want to save a few dollars, you can buy it from PlayAsia (make sure it's the same exact controller because there's another one released last year that has an adjustable D-pad that sucks) for $30 plus $8 in shipping.

Welcome to the wonderful world of retro gaming in 2018.
Hopefully you have a setting for it like mentioned, if not, your tv just doesn't like that resolution. Solution is different tv, modded console, or upscaler. They do make cheap ones, but they are usually not great and you get what you pay for. If you find a Tv that still supports Svideo that's the best cheap option for n64. i've actually had good experience with [this] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LE3EAIK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) cable.
Also remember that a lot of the cheap composite to hdmi "upscalers" don't actually upscale at all. They just convert the composite line to hdmi, and still send the same signal. So you get the same problem. Also some HDMI inputs just don't like 240 or even 480i at all. I ran into this thinking a cheap $10 SD to HDMI adapter would solve a similar problem for my genesis. Nope, not a true upscaler.
You would need a classic controller to play them. Unfortunately, the only game that the GCN controller is compatible with is SSB4. But if you want a GameCube styled classic controller then you could get one of these

They've already announced a bundle that includes the game, a Gamecube controller, and an adapter that lets you plug in 4 Gamecube controllers. It'd be sensible for them to bundle it with a system as well.

All WiiU games and any Virtual Console games that are in the WiiU's eShop can be default be played 100% with the gamepad. If you want to play old Wii games you will most likely (99% of games) need a Wiimote and nunchuck. Based on personal preferences you can then opt for a Pro Controller to use with certain games if you want. For example, I played Hyrule Warriors exclusively with the Pro Controller even though I didn't have to, just 'cause.
I use the [HORI Gamecube controllers] (https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Pad-Pikachu-Version-Turbo/dp/B00ND0E604/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1485042297&sr=8-10&keywords=wii%2Bgamecube%2Bcontroller&th=1) connected to a [usb adapter] (https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-Wii-Classic-Controller-Adapter/dp/B0089O4EB0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485042489&sr=8-1&keywords=wii+classic+controller+for+pc). It works great.
I've got one of these coming with my copy. It plugs into the wii remote like a classic controller. Actually works as one on other games, too, which beats the compatibility of the adapter. Plus, if I wind up at a friend's house who doesn't have an adapter, I can still play on a GC controller.
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Luigi-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E604/ref=pd_sim_vg_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1TQTTZ41CHMAYX95JAHM
I hear this one is much better quality.
Dualshock 3 (With better DS3) is a good choice.
XBox One and XBox 360 Wired controllers work through USB with appropriate drivers straight from Microsoft.
This adapter with a Wii Classic Pro controller works well too (although Wii classics have gotten expensive.) Also works with this GC controller replica (and this one too.) Both of those are from reputable companies (Hori and PDP respectively.) There is a lot of demand for this stuff since Smash came out, so if this is your choice, I'd wait until after the holidays.
The XBox or DS3 controllers are better for modern games, but I absolutely stand by the Classic/Gamecube controllers for classic games and emulation.
I haven't personally used it but Hori usually makes top quality accessories.

This Fighting Commander is great too. It's symmetrical unlike the FC4 and doesn't have the rotating D-pad (which I read people saying it wears out). I've got it and its nice.
No this controller is pretty bad and horribly designed, I promise you will hate it. Get one of the Hori Fighting Commanders, either the one with the rotating dpad or the one without if you aren't interested in that.
I have the one without the rotating dpad and its made my inputs so clean, I can definitely vouch for it.
Ill link them both if you wanna check them out. You may be able to find them cheaper on other sites but I prefer to just use amazon.

I don't have an arcade stick for the Switch, BUT... I've hard the Hori Mini arcade stick gets uncomfortable for those with big hands and it's less stable during use, slipping and sliding, than the RAPV one. I'd recommend saving up for the RAPV one if you're interested in a quality stick. The only downside is you can only use these sticks in docked mode, UNLESS you buy this: http://stores.horiusa.com/multiport-usb-playstand-for-nintendo-switch/
I have no first hand knowledge of how the playstand stands up but it does have really good reviews on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Nintendo-Switch-Multiport-USB-Playstand/dp/B01A827XHM/
The PG adapters aren’t available yet, but the Hori Multiport USB Playstand is a great option if you already own a GameCube adapter (or you could just buy a USB Type A to Type C adapter)
HORI Nintendo Switch Stand: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A827XHM?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
Had it for a couple weeks now to play DBFZ with my stick without a TV. Only downside is apparently it's slow charging compared to the full dock.
There is a portable playstand with two usb ports.
there is also a wireless adapter for OG gamecube controllers.
And there are straight up wireless gamecube pro controllers.
If you meant "portable dock that i can take over to friends house", then no. No third party dock option is totally safe for use. Youre better off just taking the normal dock.
Here is the Amazon link if you didn't already find it.
Simple just either get a USB C adapter like [this one for ex.] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LXAUUTG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) (Doesn't have to be specifically this obv, any USB C adapter should be fine).
You could also use this USB Hub charging stand from Hori.
Both solutions will work for any USB devices that can be used on the Switch including the GC adapter.
For those who are having trouble getting a system, another option is Amazon France. They go in stock several times per week (you can check with NowInStock) and it adds up to around $120 in total.
Ignore the "cannot ship to Canada" message, I can confirm that they do indeed ship to Canada.
I found one on Amazon, for $100USD. Seems worth it to me even if I can get the US one on gamestop for $80, I would rather spend the extra on the EU one.

You may not be super down for another JPRG, but The World Ends With You is perhaps the best JRPG on the system.
The World Ends With You, it recently got an English Android remake too, so check that out.
Did you have an original DS/have you played any of those yet? The DS has a ton of great titles that you can play on your 3DS if didn't start there (or even if you did!)
Here's a long list of random games that you might enjoy:
You can get a 6 DoF gun tracker without tinkering for $40 using the PlayStation®Move Shooter Attachment ($10.40), the PS Eye ($9.25) and the PS Move ($20.97). The one in the link is only 3 DoF and costs $155 (Top Shot Elite : $40, XBox 360 Controller wireless adapter : $15, YEI 3-space tracker : $100).

55 new from CDN$26
right now you can get a 160GB PS3 on Amazon for $250 with a $50 credit. If you count the $50 credit as a cash equivalent, you are effectively paying $200. there are undoubtedly better deals on Black Friday (Walmart for sure), but this is available now, and does not involve fighting crowds (or paying sales tax, in most states).
$250 for a new 160 GB one. That's probably cheaper than some blu-ray players anyway.
You know that brand-new consoles these days are only $250, right?

You'd just need the PS3 Rock Band MIDI Pro Adapter. I'd also recommend the Nitro kit, btw. I use that one myself. If you wind up getting it and have any questions on using it with RB, let me know!
im pretty sure you could use this to plug in a real fender through midi

Finding an ION might be difficult and more expensive. Probably easier using an e-kit like the one I posted above. Any e-kit with 5 pin midi out should work. Just find one in your price range and ask questions in here if you have any.
Amazon still has them in stock https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0042B3EOM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_b3A4Bb5WGX06N
If your kit has midi out, you're playing on PS4, and you have this thing you should be all set as far as I know.
If you're on XBOX, you can still do midi out into an old Guitar Hero kit but you won't get access to Pro drums.
MIDI output refers to the electronic drum kit's ability to output signals via a MIDI cable. It's a standard in the music industry and really has nothing to do with video game consoles, but you'll need it for this scenario.
The connection looks like this:
http://cdn-data.motu.com/site/images/ultralite-mk3/midi-connections_01.gif
Ideally, any e-kit you choose would have that connection (technically there are workarounds, but if you're buying an e-kit anyway, just buy one that supports it). While most modern e-kits offer this form of output, some kits only offer it via a USB cable (which is not what you want).
Now, since video game consoles don't use MIDI connections for anything, that's where the RB3 MIDI Pro Adapter comes into play. Since you're on PS4, you'd need the adapter for PS3, which is here:
https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Rock-Band-MIDI-PRO-Adapter/dp/B0042B3EOM/
In addition to that adapter, you'd need a standard MIDI to MIDI cable, which can usually be purchased for a few bucks. The end result would be your e-kit -> MIDI cable -> RB3 MIDI Pro Adapter -> connected to the PS4.
Going back to you mentioning drum brains, that refers to the module that essentially ties an e-kit together. It's the computer (if you will) that processes all of the signals and sounds, and all of the pads and cymbals of your e-kit connect to it. Every e-kit will have a brain; generally, the more you pay for an e-kit, the nicer the module is and the more features it offers.
With the exception of the ION Drum Rocker (which was a specialized, stripped-down e-kit for use with Rock Band), no e-kits will natively support Rock Band, which is why you need the RB3 MIDI Pro Adapter.
If you want to be able to simulate playing with the hi-hat open and closed, be sure to buy an e-kit that will allow you to modify the MIDI triggers for such a scenario. You'd need one that allows you to map the MIDI trigger for the hi-hat when the pedal is up to match whatever you're using as the blue cymbal, and at the same time it needs to allow you to have a different MIDI trigger when the pedal is down to match the yellow cymbal. Furthermore, you'd need to have the pedal itself not act as a bass pedal, or it would break your combo every time.

Cool game I think you should try.
Amazon says you can get $10 credit and a physical map.
I'd get this: Metal Gear Solid HD Collection by Konami http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0050SX97I/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_aZB0tb1B5HZ77
Or if they have a 360/PS3, they could get the HD Collection.
Just to clear up any confusion (because when I went to buy these games 6 months ago I got it messed and up wasted $10.) The Legacy Collection includes The HD Collection, MGS IV, and a PSN code for MGS1 (note this ISN'T the Twin Snakes version, which is Gamecube exclusive and is much better in almost every way. So much so, that IMO you should just watch a long play on youtube instead of playing the original PS1 version.)
So if you DON'T have MGSIV and want to play/experience the whole series, absolutely get the more complete Legacy Collection. Only buy the stand alone HD Collection if you already have a copy of MGSIV and are going to watch Twin Snakes (MGS1)on youtube (which I recommend either way.)
Yeah they do have a bundle that has the game + all the DLC. Xbox 360 here and PS3 here.
The Xbox one is backwards compatible if you have an Xbox One.
Sure, but don't buy it for that price.

2)X is a sequel, as far as we know. There are certain things that are directly related, and some that are completely unrelated.
4)I'd wager there'll be no amiibo support. Have fun!
You can buy it for $42 on Amazon. It's still expensive, but it's much better than the $90 people were charging a few years ago.
Amazon has "world" version of Chronicles for $59 right now. It works with US Wii's and Wii U's. I picked it up for $52 a few months ago and it was definitely worth it.

Damn, something I want. Well, the things I want the most at this moment are definitely not reasonable in value (eg: a few hundred dollars, damn consoles), so I guess I link one of the things I'd really love that falls into semi-reasonable levels:
This
because I'm trying to complete my Epic Collection set and the older sets (including this one) are getting hard to find.
If I'm dreaming big, a giftcard towards saving for this would be amazing!
As for the gift two . . . C'mon...gimmie.
Anyways, I wish the best of luck to everybody. I've heard so many good things about the both of you in just the few days that I've been here. Whoever wins will be really lucky people.
Oops, and forgot to mention how lovely you both look today!
Uh...what? These were almost all DS exclusives.
The World Ends With You, Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts, 999, Chinatown Wars, Chrono Trigger, Castlevania, Contra, Elite Beat Agents, Phoenix Wright, Professor Layton, Scribblenauts and N+
I would either choose PS3 or 3DS. For the PS3, I'd choose Metal Gear Solid V and for the 3DS, I'd choose The World Ends With You
really? :o Amazon links! But seriously, you can find pretty much fucking anything on Amazon.
TWEWY
Ghost Trick
Came to post this
If you're looking for more western-style games, you might like the Mario and Luigi titles. They're riddled with amusing dialog and highly-interactive combat. (It's turn-based, but you can press buttons to dodge or counter-attack when the enemy is attacking.) A lot of people seemed to like Bowser's Inside Story best, although I liked Partner's in Time better. Partner's in Time forces you to use all four face buttons during combat whereas Bowser's Inside Story only uses two face buttons (plus the touch screen and mic for some battles); I think some people may have preferred Bowser's Inside Story for its simpler controls whereas I preferred Partners in Time for the exact opposite reason. That being said, both games are pretty beginner-friendly.
If you're looking for something "BioWare-esque," Devil Survivor might be the closest to what you're looking for. It has a plot with branching story paths, and the decisions you make can impact the flow of the story in very meaningful ways. (There are certain player characters that can permanently die depending on what actions you take.) It's not nearly as nuanced as something from BioWare, but there are still potential endings, and the decisions you make throughout the entire game have a bearing on which ending you can take. The only character that you can fully spec is the main character, but you have complete control over the skills for all of your human units, and a limited amount of control over the stats/skills for your monster units. n.b.: A remake of Devil Survivor is coming out later this year for 3DS, so if you were planning on buying it, you might want to hold off until this summer when the remake comes out. That being said, if you're not sure you want to pay full price and find the original Devil Survivor on sale for $15 or something, you might want to pick it up.
Several comments regarding The World Ends With You: It looks like the game is $16.50 on Amazon if you can't find it locally. I tried playing TWEWY several times and quit before getting more than an hour in simply because of how much I hated the main character. Neku's unbearable nature is intentional. It's difficult to explain why without giving up too much of the plot, but the game gets a lot better, and once I gave it a chance, it managed to hit its stride much faster than I had expected. The game doesn't really start to get fun until you get a nice selection of pins to choose from and have more freedom to explore different areas, but fortunately this all happens within the first hour of gameplay. Also, be aware that some of the pins are terrible and not fun at all to use. The idea is that out of the hundreds of pins that the game offers you, you find maybe a dozen or so that you actually like and play most of the game with those pins. (There are also several pins that are basically clones/upgraded versions of previous pins, which you'll discover when you try them out.) Try everything once to see if you like it, and if not, just move onto the next thing.
It's $20 on Amazon.
Edit: Sorry, wasn't reading close enough earlier. Didn't realize you were in Australia. :(
Do yourself a favor.

Excellent contes... question to ask! Thanks for doing so!
You can buy a new PS Move controller from Amazon for USD 29.99.
Throw in the original PS3 Eye camera for USD 6.49.
Do it! I'd buy the moves separately though to save $40 vs the Move combo pack.
Playstation Camera, two Move controllers, and games that support them. The last bit is where you'll run into issues, as really there aren't any. PSVR will use them, Dreams will use them, and LittleBigPlanet 3 has limited uses for them, but other than that I honestly can't think of anything.
EDIT: And in case you're wondering, you do NOT need this.
OH GAMES! I can't decide just one so these two are pretty grool:
My favorite game is Touch Detective. I love all of them. I cant wait for the next one! Whenever it actually gets released here that is :( New or used is fine with me! Thanks so much for this contest :) It's an awesome idea!
My favourite game is... Skyrim and Bioshock Infinite, both for xBox, and Pokemon SoulSilver for DS

Hah, I just made a post that was vaguely similar... I'd actually say check it out and see if there are any you haven't played but that sound interesting to you. I'd be really happy to elaborate on the appeal of any of the games on that list that I enjoyed.
The first one I'd say you should give a try is Bow Street Runner, though, which is a surprisingly good flash detective game with a nice historical element to it. The puzzles aren't that difficult but are enjoyable enough, the acting is actually reasonably good, you get to be a detective in Georgian England, and it's just fun.
I'd also say Ghost Trick should be something that you would definitely enjoy. It's basically your brief - a high focus on story and character development, solving puzzles & intrigue, and a bit of a pressure element (difficulty). You can't go wrong here. I loved the shit out of it, and I think you will too. Since you mentioned having a DS, try this!
Also, if you have an Android phone, Layton Brothers: Mystery Room is definitely a must try. It's a series of Locked Room Murders that you have to solve, and it resembles the AA games much more than it does the Layton games in terms of how it goes. The characters are all pretty fun as well, and I really enjoyed this and would strongly recommend it as well.
Edit: I also totally forgot to mention - 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors. It's a puzzle/visual novel kind of thing, and I found it very engaging. The plot is definitely sort of a brain twister kind of thing in the 'what even is going on' sense, but everything is explained in a pretty satisfactory way at the end. Definitely consider this one. It's basically Room Escape: The Game, but it does that very well.
It takes two seconds to search for something on Amazon.
Or eBay.
Start with this
Then get this
And never save during an "escape" sequence, only during "story" sequences. There's a bug and it might corrupt your save data.
I would love to get the DS for my mom. When I was a little kid, she would play Pokemon with me all the time and I'd love to play the games with her again. I'd give her my old DS, but sadly mine broke and I had to replace it with a 3DS. I bought a copy of each Pokemon game when I had a job so I don't need any of those. Admittedly selfish of me, I'd like this game for myself.
Edit: I somehow managed to forget that Radler is rad

Amazon has the same deal for PS3.
There's a good deal going on at Amazon right now. 300 dollars with a 50 dollar amazon credit (which you can use for an extra controller)
http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-3-160-GB/dp/B003VUO6H4
IMO you should try and avoid a Super Slim model. It's still possible for you to buy a brand new Slim model PS3. The old Fat ones are just that, old, so reliability is an issue and considering that income is slower for you (assumption) I'd avoid it.
The Super Slim cannot stand on it's side, and it looks pretty awful. I do own one but because I got a deal at Gamestop for trade-ins and my old Slim model I gave to my brother when he left for Uni. The Slim has a great build quality, sleek disc loading tray and is quiet and long lasting; I've had the 320GB since release (3 years?) and it's running smoothly. However, the Super Slim model is noticeably louder.
Now, for size. 160GB models are still in stock at some retailers (Futureshop (CAN)/ Best Buy has had sales for $150), and usually they're on sale since this is an older model that they're pushing out for the new Super Slim model. If you need more hard drive space you can buy another and install it yourself (google for help regarding this matter).
As for games, FAQ has some listed but search game review websites for your preference. Anyone here will just list the typical games that everyone pushes.
Oh, and get PS+ (I'm sure a BNIB PS3 you buy will be bundled with at least 30 days).
Every so often Sony will release a system bundle that includes a PS3 with a new game, like the upcoming ACIII bundle.
Amazon will also occasionally have sales, like right now with the systems.
Since we are talking game systems, lets compare this to this. Or this to this. Oh. You want to discuss the cost of flash? What about just buying one of these? At least that comes out to be about $1 for every extra GB. Nintendo knows a thing or two about making cartridges, I don't see how they can justify the markup for what is basically a circuit board. I'm not hating on them, and like I said, I didn't realize that the cheaper one doesn't include NintendoLand. So, that was my fault. But the above example with the PS3 includes a game and 160GB more than the one that is only $50 less. I'm just not that impressed.
This is $335 before rebates, as low as I could get it while meeting your request.

I'd also consider the fact that you can pick up a PS3 and a copy of the upcoming "Premium" release and stay within budget. And the PS3 can act as a media hub, playing Blu-rays and streaming videos.

http://www.amazon.ca/Metal-Gear-Solid-HD-Collection/dp/B0050SX97I
Edit: or this if you want mgs 1 and 4
Here's a good start
Luckily, you won't have to. The HD collection came out today.
metal gear solid hd collection has all the metal gear games besides V and allows you to play them in chronological order of the story so its more cohesive.
Yes. There are a few other games like Portable Ops, and Metal Gear 1 and 2 (Not Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2, Metal Gear 1 and 2, the ones for the MSX2 console). But it's not 100% vital you play those and besides they aren't made for the PS3 or PS4. And you'll need a PS2 to play
Getting the Metal Gear Solid HD collection for PS3 gets you everything except MGS4.
I think it depends on if you played the 2 remastered games or not and if you have a PS3 or 360 or not.
If you have a PS3 or 360 then get the HD collection for that instead, because it's $40 but includes all three games.
http://www.amazon.com/Metal-Gear-Solid-Collection-Playstation-3/dp/B0050SX97I
For whatever reason (space?) the Vita version only has 2 games instead of 3.
As stated before, your best bet if you don't have a PS3 is to check if the HD collection is available for PS Now, and if you're willing to pay the price and if your connection is good, you're set.
There are two collections available for the PS3, though.
For anyone else reading who had a similar question, my choice would be Legacy Collection since it's $43 on Amazon right now. I personally don't care for MGS4 or the Ashley Wood artbook that's included but for everything that you get, it's a good deal.
EDIT: A word or two.
You need to catch up! Get the Metal Gear Solid collection

I've played thru RDR many times and it looks also amazing on the X like a remaster, John Marston was main lead character in RDR, RDR2 is the prequel to RDR. After you play RDR2 I would totally recommend playing RDR1 to follow the story.
RDR1&2 have amazing characters that you'll love along with the story and the amount of content in each will last you a long time, to me it's worth double the price tag. RDR1 I'm pretty sure you cn buy the GOTY edition on sale right now for a steal at $15 on Amazon
Do yourself a huge favor and dont miss out on either of these games!!!
Not sure, but it's on sale on amazon for $24 and free shipping with prime.
Buy it right now. 360, PS3. Also, the Undead Nightmare expansion is also fantastic. It is one of my favorite DLCs of all time. It is up there with Old World Blues (F:NV) and The Ballad of Gay Tony (GTAIV)

Yes.
Great RPGs with high demand and short production runs always causes this. People just want to play the game.
Yet I can buy it at Amazon right now! :)

And that's a low price.

If you think this is bad, check out the used price of Xenoblade: Chronicles.
If you're looking for a fairly priced copy to use in the US, then check out Amazon. They actually have the international version in stock almost all the time. The sticker on the cover says UAE, Malaysia, etc but it apparently works for NA consoles. In case you don't trust my comment, feel free to do some Google research you'll find many people (including in the Amazon comments themselves) testifying that it works for NA consoles.

the new world edition that plays in NTSC Wii is pretty reasonable:

Don't count on finding it much cheaper, it used to cost a lot more actually. The cheapest I ever saw it was between 45-50 dollars. It's actually 55 dollars new on amazon, of course this is for the reprint. (but that only matters if you're a picky collector)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B007RNWUC4/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new
If you really don't care about having a physical copy, it's on the Wii U eshop for 19.99 I believe.
$63 used on Amazon.

> I mean nintendo seems to be the only one that knows how to make a console.
Eh? Didn't they have an initial update out of the box? Bricked some consoles iirc (pbkac) and it contained many of the online functions - internet connection (couldn't access the internet without it), NNID, eshop etc that took about 90-120 minutes. Not what you want from your new console that "works out of the box". Few noteworthy games in 2013 (I definitely remember TB going on about his Wii U collecting dust because he had nothing to play) which included cancelled multiplats like Metro, BF and Crysis. Then you get to the hardware - $335 for the 32GB version and $300 for the 8GB. The 360's 20GB release almost 9 years ago sucked then, yet Nintendo's only giving out 32GB max? What is this shit? Ffs phones have more than that. 512MB memory in 2005 wasn't that good then, 2GB was not good in 2012. 1GB of memory (DDR3 1600!) available for the devs. This isn't 2006, that is not good enough. Then you have the GPU which is worse than 2007 cards.
If that's "knowing how to make a console" then fuck me, they should give up now.
"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
A Wii-U
I want it so I can play more games cuz I love games.
and I probably wouldn't be okay with that cuz it's my Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
C:
1 -- The Wii U Bundle
2 -- Because I love Nintendo and I skipped getting a regular Wii. I enjoy playing it at my parents' when I'm there. Also, Zelda. And Mariokart. And Smash Bros.
3 -- Probably... there are many games I have in my backlog to play, so I'd survive without it.
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is actually a song I'm not as fond of as everyone else seems to be. Dunno why.
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
I am a streamer who is looking to improve my set-up over this summer. One of the things I am looking to do is separate the audio from my game system to a USB mixer I am looking to pick-up. My big tradeoff would be that no longer I'd have separate tracks on OBS Studio (where it records the audio) but with easily being able to adjust audio live better through a mixer I think it's worth it.
-
So my set-up would be Game System HDMI Out -> Capture Card HDMI-In -> Capture Card HDMI-Out -> HDMI Splitter -> HDMI Audio Converter Extractor -> USB Audio Mixer.
Essentially after the audio converter, I'd plug this in (RCA Cables) into here (L and R Tape In on the board.) Sorry if I'm not technical enough...still learning a lot. Is this correct and would it work well?
How would I be able to send the sound out to a venue's sound system and then be able to control what they can hear on it while maintaining the stream on my computer captures a different sound?
For example: When an actual match is being played I do NOT want the commentators being heard on the live PA system as it would disrupt the competitors...so at that point I'd want the sound going to the venue system to be turned off...but once the game ends I'd want them to speak to the venue about any deals showing on screen, in general getting the crowd hype, etc. How would that be possible?
Thanks for any help you can give!
I haven't used any handheld pi. I guess there are some good alternatives though.
​
​
NDS with charger. $25 - $40 (I would get the DSi) (DSlite bumpers and things tend to wearout)
A flash cart for NDS. $15 - $20 (DSTT I hear is best) (Acekard2i is great) (R4 is hard to tell the model) (DSTWO flashcart drains battery life, is overpriced, but has built in cpu and emulators for gba snes and genesis) All are compatible with 3ds, NDS, DSi.
MicroSD. $10. Samsung EVO 32gb on amazon is a good deal
The DS has a lot of great games, snes and genesis emulators work okay but not the best. GBA emulation only works with dstwo or ez-flash.
Total $50 - $70.
​
​
PSVITA w/ charger $110 - $150. Never used one, cfw is available for firmware up to 3.68. The firmware 3.69 is not hackable.
Vita Memory Card + microsd $20. Since the proprietary memory card are so expensive.
PSVITA & TV are cfw compatible up to 3.67 - 3.68, however there may be some homebrew incompatibility on these firmwares. 3.69 is not compatible yet. CFW can load PSP homebrew as well as play PS1.
Total $130 - $170
​
​
Wii U complete console $140. Used - Very good
SD card. $15 Sandisk 64gb Extreme SDXC
DS Virtual Console Game $10 From E-shop, needed to play DS on Console/Gamepad screens.
Emulates Nintendo up to DS, has an abandoned PSX emulator from the wii. Portable and Console for TV.
Total $165
​
The consoles and handhelds fluctuate in price. PSvita TV was low as $40 at one time, they are a bit inflated right now but collectors items will hold value. Finding one second hand or used for half-price is probable a used PSP is easy to find for $40 but not online.
​
​
RPI $25 - $40 RPI3b+ is what I have connected to my TV. The RPI2 is similar to RPI0 and emulates PSX but not all, as per the RPI3B+. There are many SBCs, I think the OdroidC2 and Tinkerboard and NanoPI M4 are all interesting but I have not used them.
Case + Heatsink and fan $25 - $30 There are other cases Argon One, SuperPI Retroflag, many others, some bundles heatsink and fan are necessary for the rpi3b+. The retroflag controllers are not preferred.
Power Supply $15 or official raspberry pi power supply.
MicroSD $10
Controllers $15 - $35 There are a lot of options here, recycle your PS3 or XBOX360 controller, Buy a corded Ibuffalo Snes, 8bitdo SF30, logitech, retro-bit/retrolink n64. I think only the RPI3B+ and RPI Zero W have bluetooth, else an adapter is needed.
Total $75 - $130
​

Probably either this PS3 Bundle, this 3DS XL preferably with Monster Hunter Ultimate and Etrian Odyssey IV. Or this Wii U.

Sounds like the relevant titles for you are:
If you don't have a Wii, that means you'd now be able to play Skyward Sword as well, and the non-HD version of Twilight Princess.
It's as low as $222 on Amazon for a used (in "good" condition) Wii U console. If that sounds worth it to you go right ahead.
Personally I'm going to hold out and see what they announce in regards to the NX. If they're launching a new console that will also support Zelda U and the HD remakes, then no way am I splurging money on a dead console. Though, from what was said back in March, it sounds like the NX, the 3DS, and the Wii U will coexist.
A PS3 bundle. I just clicked the GTA bundle because it's my brother's favorite game.
The reason I want this item is that I love video games but I have not owned a console since I got a Gameboy color for Christmas as a child. It would also be something awesome to do with my brother.
If I never got this item, I would be sad, but I'm sure I would eventually buy myself a video game console, but it wouldn't be for another fiveish years, once I have enough money for something like that.

Edit2: now I've had time to feel shame and process your actual question... I use this: Turtle Beach XO One Amplified Stereo Gaming Headset - Xbox One https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KSVXSZU/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_9KXAxbN88N3TX it's actually really good all my freinds got one after trying it out. Comes with an adapter so you can insta mute, change volume on the game, chat, and overall sound. Very comfy too. Highly recommend....

I use Turtle Beach XO One headphones...I got them for my xbox one, so the cord is supposed to plug into your controller...it is about 3 feet long.

These: http://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Force-Amplified-Gaming-Headset/dp/B00KSVXSZU All of my xbox buddies and I have them, they go on sale between $40-$60 often but still not even $70 is bad for this, they have great control over which volume you want higher (chat or game) and include a noticeable bass boost button you can turn on and off. Also very comfy, I wear them for hours on end each day and barely notice them after awhile.
Edit: looks like they're out of stock on amazon right now, they have them at most major retailers.
Ask for this for Christmas: https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Force-Amplified-Gaming-Headset/dp/B00KSVXSZU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1480911642&sr=8-2&keywords=xbox+one+headset
Having true stereo sound will really help you a lot. You will be able to hear where people are coming from before they are even on your radar. It also has a good mic. Right now you just hear stereo from in front of you and it is hard for your ears to distinguish right from left.
Using you mic and doing call outs is going to be distracting at first. But you will get a hold of it and you will start to make a big difference with your call outs. The names of the place on the map show up in the bottom left of your screen good luck.
If you want a decent no frills headset, I recommend the Turtle Beach XO One. It comes with the headset adapter and they sound really nice. There are separate volume controls for party chat and for game sound.
If you already have a nice pair of headphones and don't plan on chatting with anyone, a less expensive option is to just go pick up the Xbox One Headset Adapter and use any headphones or earbuds you want.

It is an interesting accessory but I since I use my headphones a lot when using my Xbox console it wouldn't be enough. I need the 3.5 mm jack to use with my gamepad and this doesn't seem to have one.
Instead I added this headset + headset audio controller to my gamepad to have audio control as well as voice chat(with mic monitoring allowing you to hear yourself) control at my fingertips while using a headphone with my gamepad while sitting a few feet away in my couch.

Gam3Gear SNES Nintendo N64 Gamecube S Video Cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LE3EAIK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_DCwWAbBPJYY4K
Always look for ones with just S-Video and no yellow composite. Some can be wired bad. But it's not always true
First get an S Video Cable

Wwwwaaaayyyy better but not ideal would be a scart cable in a cheap scart to hdmi adapter:

Best of the best would be a high quality scart cable from retrogamingcables.co.uk in a scaler such as the framemeister or ossc which would be around 200-300$:

There's a S-Video input right on the back of that monitor. One side plugs directly into your console, the other into the monitor itself - super simple:
PS1/PS2/PS3 (official Sony brand and excellent quality, FYI)

SNES:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LE3EAIK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
For NES, you'll also want to get a pack of these BNC to RCA connectors to use a regular RCA Composite cable off your NES: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005B4O4GG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I should add that I forgot to mention that Sega Genesis needs to be modded for S-Video - if your friend can help you mod the monitor for RGB it'll be a breeze for him (it's soldering like 5 single wires and a couple resistors - pretty darn easy). ---OR at that point, if you are actually modding the monitor for RGB, you'll probably forget about the S-Video and just use a regular SCART RGB cable or whatnot.
Also, if it makes your choice easier, S-Video really is excellent quality. You really have to see both side-by-side to notice any difference compared to RGB (especially if you're still new to all this - it's really just the finer smaller differences you can notice between the two connection types).
Just a PDP Fighting Pad variation.
Have you ever used either the Hori Battlepad or similar PDP Fight Pad? If so, can you compare this controller to either of those?
The Hori Gamepad is the best third party controller I've ever used, though still not up to the original. I'd love to know if this is as good as the Hori controller or better before buying one.
just use a wiimote with a gamecube style classic controller and it works great as well. though not as hacktacular as using the GC adapter or some other gamepad.
I have used Wii classic controllers, Mario fight pads, and gamecube controllers for Nintendont. This is my favorite for the gamecube games, because it's wireless due to plugging into a wiimote.
https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Wired-Fight-Pad-nintendo-u/dp/B00LSBNSJA
If you do want a gamecube controller which works with other games you could get one of these and hori makes a similar controller that you could try out as well.
I have one of the pdp controllers and the only difference between it and an authentic controller is that the c stick is a normal classic controller stick, and that it plugs into a wiimote making it wireless.
This
It's a Classic Controller (Plugs into the nunchuck slot of the WiiMote)
Edit: I'm using two of them myself and it's not bad. Can't compare to a WiiUPRo controller or a GC controller right now. Of note: I always used a Wavebird for Melee/Brawl. (Yeah, super-casual I know.)
You're getting the classic confused with the GameCube controller here. GameCube Controllers with the adapter can only be used for Smash. Classic Controllers (also 3rd party ones like PDP Fight Pad) plug into the bottom of wii remotes (in place of the nunchuck) and can be used with most Wii and Wii U games.
Also, check out the Controller Infographic link on the side bar.

It's been up for a long time.
Will this ever be available again?
Smash Bros Bundle Wii U
I'm in Ontario and an employee at EB Games said there will be a bundle of sorts for Smash. I don't know if he knew what he was talking about but we can hope for that. Also on Amazon there is currently the $100 bundle (GC Controller, Wii U adapter, and Smash 4). Here is the link.
I don't know. You can find the game with the adapter with it though: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00M35YLLY?pc_redir=1414182519&robot_redir=1
The Wii U Pro controller
The ones that plug into the wiimotes are called wii classic controller pro. The ones that are wireless/usb are pro controllers
edit: Oh and for the ps4 and xbone games that aren't available for the Wii U, Ubisoft is avoiding it and said that Watch Dogs may be the last one, you can only have a cinematic experience in Assassins Creed Unity with other consoles. We also won't have Call of Duty any more.No minecraft and something that I actually miss is the last FIFA we had is 13. So a bunch of games are available for ps4 and xbone but not for the Wii U, I would go even further and say most of these consoles games aren't on the Wii U. But hey almost all of the best games of the Wii U are exclusives too.
You can only use one gamepad with the Wii U. The pro controller's are excellent though. 80 hour battery life off of a USB charger.

The cheapest option will be a Wii Mote Plus, it's identical in function to the Wii mote with motion plus adapter attached. You can get them used or refurbished for 15 dollars or less.

The Wii Pro Controller is my personal favorite, it's similar to an xbox 360 controller and has really great battery life. These go for about 50, but sometimes are on sale for 40ish. Here is a link.

Typically no. Especially for larger tournies, wireless controllers pose as a logistical issue. You may be able to get away with one at a local with below 50 attendees, but once you go larger than that, you'll have a hard time finding TOs that'll allow them.
IMO, you're better off with a GameCube Controller:
White GC Controller
Black GC Controller
GC Adapter
(Note: There's no difference between the colors, just take your pick)

Course, if for some reason you still want wireless:
Classic Pro Controller

Really? Never knew about that. So the controller here: http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Luigi-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E604 Is totally first-party parts?
Isn't Hori releasing a Mario and Luigi themed GC controller that connects I the wiimote? It's supposed to work with all games that support the classic pro remote.
EDIT:
Here they are on Amazon
I use this:
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Luigi-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E604
Just got it in yesterday and it feels GREAT. I haven't gotten my bundle in yet :/ but this is a great substitute for the moment
The reply below is misleading, and in fact those controllers do exist and are official Nintendo products. They function as Classic Controllers. Here are some Amazon links:
Hori Battle Pad (I personally like this one better.)
PDP Fight Pad
I believe the Wii Family Edition isn't compatible with GCN controllers. For a Wii that has GCN compatibility the Wii would have ports on the top of the console (along with 2 memory card slots) you just have to open up the top. The best I can suggest you to do is to get another Wii Remote on a site like eBay (around the 10 dollar price range for an official one) and a PDP Fight Pad or a Hori Battle Pad (which are basically Classic Controllers that are like Nintendo GameCube controllers, you plug them up to the Wii Remote like the Nun-Chuck or a regular Wii Classic Controller.)
Hori makes one that is actually highly reviewed and praised, unlike this PDP one that gets bad reviews. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ND0E604/

No floating dpad, but it's an excellent controller and works on PS4/PS3/PC with a flip of a switch.
> no problem, i also played melee for about a year and then transitioned to this game, this is my first sf game. I love melee but i can honestly say i haven't looked back
buy a fight commander 4, aside the default ps4 controller imo its the best pad to play on, good features , good quality and the 6 button layout is perfect for SF games. also the controller is not TOO expensive

heres a less feature filled on, but equally good

If you want a quick lowdown on whats not on the cheaper model is, its missing the repositional d-pad as well as the dpad diagonal sensitivity adjuster (this helps for more rigid controls or looser controls for easier circular motions). The shape is also slightly different but thats not a biggy :)
First one
Second one
Both of these are generally considered the best new generation fightpads.

you CAN use DS4Windows http://ds4windows.com/ which is great you can set everything on the controller
or you can get the alternate Fighting Commander that Hori sells which has an XInput switch http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017QORK8W/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687722&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00TKLFES8&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=02MD00MCPZNB2EASJZ2Q
http://s.pacn.ws/1500/od/fighting-commander-for-playstation-4-playstation-3-438621.2.jpg?o2oj7u the problem with this controller is that the home button doesn't work in XInput, which makes it worthless to me lol
personally I don't like tinkering with programs to run controllers so I just stick with my 360 Fightpad

plus a Joy-Con charging grip or one of those little Joy-Con charging stands.
Do you know how USB charging stands like the Hori Multiport USB Playstand with no video output would affect the Switch? Is it safe to use?
It has an extra USB port (compared to the Nintendo dock) so I wonder when 4 devices are plugged in, would that would draw too much power? Or would it go through the stand and not the Switch itself? Maybe I should've paid more attention in my Intro to Circuits course...
The Switch/Lite tabletop charging docks/playstands with usb ports might support this. I don't see why not.
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Nintendo-Switch-Multiport-USB-Playstand/dp/B01A827XHM/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=switch+charging+stand+usb&qid=1567727081&s=gateway&sr=8-3
Hey guys so with smash coming out it got me thinking about a portable setup. I have one of the hori playstands and love it and was thinking of getting a usb c to usb a adapter to plug a gamecube adapter into it in tabletop. Then I found a new hori playstand that has 2 usb ports and a charging passthrough.
I don't want to spend more on a new playstand and i like the height that i get from the one i have and started to search for a dongle that does the same thing. I found this that essentially does the same thing (usb a ports and a charging passthrough) and was wondering if it would work and not damage the switch. Understanding that switches have bricked in the past from using third party products through the usb c port would this be safe to use.
TL;DR I want to play smash in handheld and want to know if this dongle (no hdmi) would damage my switch
Found an answer to my own question. This product is 100% what I need. I can break it open and redesign the stand so that it cradles the hard drive.
​

It's totally worth it for a tabletop mode. I mostly play Switch on tabletop mode.
HORI playstand
This Hori dock has a usb-c port for charging and 4 USB ports. So if you really wanted to, you could charge your switch in tabletop mode while playing 8-player smash with two adapters plugged in (along with 8 gc controllers), and you wouldn’t even have to sacrifice rumble.
HORI USB Switch stand
This does not have the GCC-Adapter integrated, but it costs like half of the PG adapter. You can also charge your Switch through it and it has 4 USB ports. The only downside is, that you can't plug this stand directly into a tv, as it has no HDMI output. Most people have a GCC adapter anyway, so this one is a really good option and I already use one. Hope this helps.
Something like this would be what you want

Says shipping is $10.33, not bad.
dae remember this retro gem???
I'm assuming you are looking at the one for $193.92 here
I would suggest paying a little bit more and getting a $200 'refurbished' unit direct from Nintendo.
The console comes in better condition (most of these are probably new units that Nintendo took back from retailers when the Wii U went off the shelves), with all necessary cords and cables, and also includes a one year warranty from Nintendo.
In my opinion, Nintendo's refurbished consoles are the best way to buy a Wii U right now because you know exactly what you're getting and you get a great warranty package with it. If you would rather order from Amazon, the only way you can find more about what you're buying is if you contact the seller or actually order it. Amazon has a pretty good return policy so if you are missing something, I'm sure you could just send it back.
All these stories have the same source: they are completely based on the Amazon UK numbers. Hence they all have the same problem in the price drop. Only one article mentions it
> And for the people who are saying it was because of the price drop and not the Xbox One reveal, that’s not necessarily the case. There have been multiple price drops in the UK and sales never spiked on Amazon like this. So it can’t be just because of the price drop. If anything, it’s a nice combination of both.
But it hasn't happened on the American Wii U set. Or the Canadian, German, French, Japanese Amazon, etc.
(I've now done more research than all those sites combined, which is pretty pathetic.)

The GTA 5 500GB PS3 bundle might be a good option if you're planning on getting that game. and its only $269.99
I don't think it includes the headset. If that's the case, that's a hell of a deal. Over $210 (MSRP) worth of extras and a PS3 for only $299.
I think that's too good to be true.
Edit: [Here's](
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DBKSN8M/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8) the listing.
Maybe this? It says there are 4 new from $225. The seller of those just started, so probably trying to get positive feedback.
At that price, you should look at [these console bundles] (http://www.amazon.com/PS3-Uncharted-Plus-Bundle-Playstation-3/dp/B00D6LPE2E/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1377204010&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=PS3). The GTA V version (500GB + Console + GTA V) looks pretty darn attractive at $269! Or THIS at $250! - same thing but from a different seller on Amazon
Just realized the best deal is Uncharted 3 Bundle with a 250GB Console + Game + 1 year to PS+ (awesome games every month) at ~ $260
I would avoid gamestop. I'd rather buy it from amazon at the same price.
http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Theft-Auto-Bundle-Playstation-3/dp/B00DBKSN8M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1377724682&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=PlayStation+3+500GB+Grand+Theft+Auto+V+Bundle
Amazon has been running this sale for a while now, just FYI. Doesn't include a gift card, though.
I actually want to buy a PS3 to play GTA V. I find a lot of great deals (like this one), but if you add the import fees, I'd end up paying more than if I would just buy the PS3 from my friend and pre-ordering GTA V separately.
If they have any more of the white 500GB ps3 with a 1 year ps plus subscription, that's the best bundle I've seen:https://www.google.com/shopping/product/357152954471901647?q=ps3%20white%20classic%20bundle&amp;safe=off&amp;bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&amp;bvm=bv.50500085,d.aWc,pv.xjs.s.en_US.ciY8R2R6XC8.O&amp;biw=1024&amp;bih=511&amp;tch=1&amp;ech=1&amp;psi=f-AHUpefD8nayAGcw4DIDw.1376247941469.3&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=ieAHUoC7IomMyQHzuYFY&amp;ved=0CEgQgggwAA&amp;prds=scoring:tp
Or this if you can wait: http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Theft-Auto-Bundle-Playstation-3/dp/B00DBKSN8M/ref=dp_ob_title_vg
Best bet would be to by a new one honestly. You can get the GTAV bundle for less than $300 so you get a game with it. Also the ps3 has a 500gb HDD which is great if you decide to buy PS+. There is also an Uncharted 3 bundle that has a 250gb hdd and a year of PS+ for $250 on amazon and im sure other places as well. Basically paying $170 for the ps3, $30 for the GOTY of Uncharted 3, and $50 for the PS+ subscription which will pay for itself in the games and discounts you can get. Here's the link for the bundles that let you choose which one you want.
http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Theft-Auto-Bundle-Playstation-3/dp/B00DBKSN8M
If you are a potential PS3 buyer you should check out this.
This is not a sale, but it's still a fantastic bang for the buck. If your son is mature enough and into the series, I would highly recommend the Grand Theft Auto V 500 GB PS3 bundle: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DBKSN8M/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1377746159&amp;sr=8-3&amp;pi=SL75
After applying the value of GTA 5 and the 30 day PlayStation Plus membership, you are getting the console for around $200. In comparison Sony has recently released a 12 GB version going for $200 as well. For the same price you will have access to a significantly larger storage capacity. One of the greatest values to be found on the PS3 is PlayStation Plus, featuring tons of fantastic discounts for members and up to 64 free digital games per year! If your son continues down that road, he will definitely need the extra space.
P.S. sorry for the poor formatting, I am using my phone
Amazon has it on "sale"
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DBKSN8M/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1380666255&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
The disc drive/optical drive or whatever has gone out. It was reading games, but not BluRay movies (idk, it didn't make sense) but now it's not reading anything. Just making some horrible clanking/grinding noise when I put a disc in and then sitting there doing nothing. I don't have the technical aptitude to be able to tackle it myself, and best I can tell it'd cost about $170 to send it off to Sony to get fixed since it's out of warranty (I bough it second-hand). So I decided I'll just save up $130 additional and buy this combo pack, either with AC3 or GTA V. It'd be a major upgrade as far as the hard drive goes, which is a plus since I've been using my PS3 a lot for movies lately.
So I just read this post, and was wondering whether there is a headset with a mic, a standard 3.5mm audio jack and a $40 price range that is truly decent all around.
I was looking at this and it seems decent all around, but does anyone know how it really is? And can anyone make other suggestions?
https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Force-Amplified-Gaming-Headset/dp/B00KSVXSZU/
This is what you need. It also comes with the adapter so you have physical volume controls and a mute button.
I just picked up some wireless ones; the Turtle Beach Earforce XO One's and they're pretty decent.
https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Force-Amplified-Gaming-Headset/dp/B00KSVXSZU
too good to pass up https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Force-Amplified-Gaming-Headset/dp/B00KSVXSZU/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_63_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&amp;refRID=X8Y2HZM1KR6B9WVA62YZ&amp;th=1n
I think you're confusing these with something else...The XO One has only been out for a couple of months.
Anyways this is a great headset for $60...much better than the price would dictate plus they come with the new TB adapter that has mic monitoring.
Amazon also has them on sale right now btw: http://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Amplified-Stereo-Headset-Devices-TBS-2218-01/dp/B00KSVXSZU/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1420043736&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=Xo+one
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KSVXSZU/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_6BkdzbBJHFNRP
This one? I don't see anywhere where it says wireless, and the image looks like it is wired?
I have this. I managed to get it for a good discount.
The sound quality is fantastic, and it comes with its own adapter. The headset itself is detachable and mostly universal (I often use it with both my computer and smartphone), and while plugged into the controller provides mic-monitoring with almost no delay—you can hear yourself as though you had no headset on.
Also, since the adapter is detachable from the headset, if the headset itself breaks (or you want to upgrade at a later date) you can just buy any new universal headset (such as this, for example) and the adapter should work.
The headset is comfortable for extended periods (within reason—I've had some ear pain after a full day of gaming). I only wish it were over-ear, rather than on-ear. For gaming headsets under $100, I think this is a major contender, and highly recommend it.
[Edit]
Almost forgot: if you just need a pair of headphones, you can detach the mic (it plugs into the left ear with a 3.5mm jack), and they work as a really good pair. My only complaint is that the cable is pretty short in this instance, so don't expect to plug it into your computer and walk away. I'm personally used to a 6-foot wire on my re-wired sennheisers, so unless you're spoiled like me, it shouldn't be a problem.
Really wish they had the gun metal available instead of the red, but this is a pretty good deal.
Anyone know if these are worth getting over my current Turtle Beach XOnes?
I use this $55 one
Comes with the adapter for the 3.5mm jack. Adapter has an easy way to adjust game vs voice audio, as well as easily mute. If you ever upgrade, at least you'll still have the adapter.
I've plugged the the headset into my computer and it works great. People always think I have a fancy mic setup.
The mic also detaches so you can use them as normal headphones.
There's the MS stereo headset for £30: -
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-Xbox-One-Stereo-Headset/dp/B00I41H6DQ/
I own one of those and for the money I think it's really good. It comes with the headset adapter that plugs into the bottom of your controller.
I've heard good things about this one, for the money, but I have no experience of using it: -
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Turtle-Beach-Amplified-Headset/dp/B00KSVXSZU/
That one's a bit more expensive, but it comes with Turtle Beach's version of the headset adapter which has all of the features of the MS headset adapter as well as mic monitoring and adjustable bass boost.
This is the one I use now, although it's £170: -
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Astro-Gaming-3AS42-XOU9W-369-Headset-MixAmp/dp/B00O9N404Q
I really like it, although I would say it's a touch overpriced.
Don't get the Xbox One Stereo headset, for $20 more get the Turtle Beach XO One
http://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Force-Gaming-Headset-xbox/dp/B00KSVXSZU?tag=igndeals14-20
https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Force-Amplified-Gaming-Headset/dp/B00KSVXSZU
I just got the Turtle Beach XO One headset. It's great, the sound is clear yet deep, it comes with an adapter if you have an older controller, and was only $60 on Amazon.
Also doesn't have to plug into another source besides the controller, my 360 headset always drove me crazy because it had to be plugged into the controller and another USB device.
I'm one for loyalty. I can,T really change my Xbox but the headset I bought from Beexcellent was not good enough. Cheaper price yes but not good enough. I returned it and Bought the turtle beach Turtle Beach EAR FORCE XO One - Xbox One a bit more expensive but it comes with the adapter and has mic monitoring. I should be good to go.
&#x200B;
Thanks for the suggestion much appreciated.
I've found these and to my understanding I can hear the game and chat without my tv making noise.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KSVXSZU?qid=1419188498&amp;sr=8-2&amp;vs=1#
thank you. I want to get him a nice gaming headset though with a mic. Not just ear buds.
Like these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KSVXSZU/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza
Im just afraid they will be too big
Well first off, get yourself at least some S-video cables straight away. Some of them have some quality issues, I've had no significant interference problems with this one.
https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Nintendo-Gamecube-Video-Cable-Super/dp/B00LE3EAIK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1519447659&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=nintendo+s-video&amp;dpID=511QkWlFQdL&amp;preST=_SY300_QL70_&amp;dpSrc=srch
It's not the best, but it is dirt cheap and it doesn't have a normal composite line to bleed over into your s-video feed.
I don't know this set in particular, but it looks like a pretty decent pick up as far as free consumer sets go. According to my google, it has component, so if you really want to get cheeky, you can pick up an rgb to component converter and set up a snes or genesis with component.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LE3EAIK?psc=1&amp;ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details
For $8 I am very happy with the upgrade over composite.
Nothing cheaper than the Carby for 480p, best option for a lower price is a svideo cable which will give you 480i.
https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Nintendo-Gamecube-Video-Cable-Super/dp/B00LE3EAIK
This assumes you have a TV with svideo input...
Here is the switcher that I use. My tv has s video input so it works great because I can use systems that output s video or composite with this one. Here is an s video cable that would work for both your SNES and your N64. Here is a composite cable that would work with your model 1 Sega Genesis, and Here would be am example of composite cables that would work with you NES.
As for the surge protector, here is the one I use and I really like it because it can hold a lot of the big power bricks that these older consoles like to use. Anyway hope that helped point you in the right direction. Of course it is a little bit of an investment, but overall I bet you will be much happier with a set up like this. I know personally I could never go back to constantly physically switching consoles out when I want to play them, this makes it so much easier to enjoy all my consoles with minimal effort. Good luck on your set up!
This one same difference ya think?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LE3EAIK/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_aGS4xbSTRDDYV
Thanks so much!
As for the S-video adapter, if I have an S-video cable for the Super Nintendo, for example, then would something like this work for getting the S-video quality on the monitor while still being compatible with the Super Nintendo?
EDIT: This is my Super Nintendo S-video cable
I have tried these already:
https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-SNES-Nintendo-Gamecube-Video-Cable/dp/B00LE3EAIK/ref=nav_ya_signin?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1487028499&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=gamecube+s+video+cable&amp;
https://www.amazon.com/Cinpel-S-Video-Cable-Nintendo-64-N64/dp/B00KZLEFAK/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1487028499&amp;sr=8-10&amp;keywords=gamecube+s+video+cable
Will the ebay one you sent be better?
NTSC. This is the cable I have from amazon
https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Nintendo-Gamecube-Video-Cable-Super/dp/B00LE3EAIK/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=svideo+n64&amp;qid=1558540564&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-1#customerReviews
After reading some reviews seems the cheap cable may be to blame. We will see
Take this one for example: https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Nintendo-Gamecube-Video-Cable-Super/dp/B00LE3EAIK/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=snes+s-video+cable&qid=1555157325&s=gateway&sr=8-2#customerReviews
Overall, the reviews are pretty solid. But the top rated review points out some cheap design and claims it's not much different in terms of quality as an official composite cable.
How about something like this then? Gam3Gear SNES Nintendo N64 Gamecube S Video Cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LE3EAIK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_qjQSCb5V1DV47
Do you have a recommendation? Thanks a ton

I don't know whether s-video will work for you, but I will say I've had good luck with this cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LE3EAIK/
They're called "[Wired Fight Pads] (https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Wired-Fight-Pad-nintendo-u/dp/B00LSBNSJA)", apparently.
Do you know if I can play gamecube game with this controller and nintendont ?
https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Wired-Fight-Pad-nintendo-u/dp/B00LSBNSJA
I'm honestly pretty content with the Wii U Fight Pad (not a referral link). The differences in feel are pretty minor and it's a nice responsive controller that doesn't require any new hardware.
But what about these?
They have the +/- and home buttons as well as 4 shoulder buttons and different sticks... ?
http://www.amazon.de/Wii-Gamecube-Controller-Mario-Design/dp/B00LSBNSJA/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1412845713&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=wii+u+gamecube+Controller
All in all, I can't see why this particular example wouldn't work like a Wii U Pro.
If it's still no good, then that's really disappointing.
http://www.amazon.com/PDP-Wired-Fight-Pad-nintendo-u/dp/B00LSBNSJA
It's not really meant to be a recreation of the gamecube controller, it's moreso just the same shape and button layout. The sticks are more like the classic controller's. I haven't personally used one of these, but I think they look pretty nice. One of the common complaints about the gamecube controller is that the c-stick is so different from the main analogue stick, and this fixes that.
He's talking about about this:
http://www.amazon.ca/Performanced-Designed-Products-LLC-Fight/dp/B00LSBNSJA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1419621366&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=smash+bros+fight+pad
It's a classic controller, not a GC controller. It just looks like a GC controller. You don't need the GC Controller adapter, you just need a Wiimote to plug it into.
He might mean the hori battle pad or the pdp fight pad
A remade verion of the game will never happen on the Wii U.. but there is an option for you ;)
Please note though: Because this is a Wii VC title you can only play with controllers made for the regular Wii, so you'll need a Wii Classic (Pro = black one) controller like this to be able to play the game.
These controllers can be plugged into the Wii mote.
Recently Nintendo also released GameCube controllers that can be connected to the Wii-mote. They are officially licenced products so they will work :)
Also Know that Owning a Wii U means you have access to those Wii games as well and the Wii U comes with an HDMI Cable so it's much more useful then a Wii since most new TVs don't have a Composite out or even a Component out.
Also Know that to play any of these games on either Wii or Wii U (which ever one you get) you're gonna need a Wiimote + one of these:
The PDP Fight Pad
The Classic Controller
or The Classic Controller Pro
You cannot use gamecube controllers, however you can plug PDP fightpads into your wii-mote and use those, they feel almost identical http://www.amazon.com/PDP-Wired-Fight-Pad-nintendo-u/dp/B00LSBNSJA
I know you want the bundle today, but amazon has it in stock at the moment and if you have prime you will get it in 2 days. Hope that helps! http://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-Bros-Bundle-Wii-nintendo/dp/B00M35YLLY/ref=sr_1_1_twi_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1416616619&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=supersmash
Are you talking about this bundle?
I remember Amazon had US version which had controller: http://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-Bros-Bundle-Wii-nintendo/dp/B00M35YLLY
BUT EU version only reads "GameCube controller adapter included" and no image of controller or info of controller at front.
Reverse Google image search got me larger version of image and if you look close enough to right side it says "Nintendo GameCube Controller (sold seperately)"
http://static.nintendomaine.com/2014/10/super_smash_bros_for_wiiu_pack_gamecube_controller_adapter_for_wiiu.jpg

You better hurry. Amazon is also sold out

Hoped I helped :)
Yeah, understandable. There is a Pro Controller that might feel more comfortable:
http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Pro-Controller-Black-Wii-u/dp/B00MUY0OFU
No. The only legit Pro Controllers have the Wii U logo on them. For example...
http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Pro-Controller-Black-Wii-u/dp/B00MUY0OFU/ref=lp_3075113011_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1413587673&amp;sr=1-1
I know you might be inclined to purchase one of these knock-offs but I would highly recommend investing in a Nintendo Pro Controller. First of all it will be covered under Nintendo warranty, and you can always send it in if it needs to be fixed. And the authentic Pro Controller has an 80 hour battery life when fully charged. They are completely worth purchasing. Save your money and buy the real deal.
ISO: Wii U Pro controller.
If you've got a (wireless) Wii U pro controller that's just gathering dust, I'd love to buy it and put it to good use with the new Zelda game I picked up over the weekend.
FYI, the wireless Wii-U pro controllers will work with a Mayflash usb adapter. I mention this because I was all set to buy a USB controller when I learned that I could use wireless controllers that I already had.
I am looking to spend $25 for one, so a little too much for me.
Also Amazon sells these new for $40
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wii-U-Pro-Controller-Black/dp/B00MUY0OFU
They're "by Nintendo", which means Nintendo is the manufacturer. The controllers I'm seeing are either sold by Amazon or a third party vendor. This, for instance, is sold by a third party vendor, but it's an official Pro controller.

Yeah, there is a Wii Pro Controller that works. But you plug it into the Wii Remote for it to work. After that it's a normal controller. It's very similar to a PS2 controller but it doesn't have clicky sticks. It comes in 3 colors, so it's up to you which one to pick. If you want a white one, buy it here. If you want a black one, buy it here. If you want a golden one, buy it here. There is always the Wii U Pro Controller which comes in both white and black, but that only works on Wii U games and not Wii games.

Are you asking if there are any other controller options? If so, they make something called a pro controller (Amazon Link). If you're looking for an alternative gamepad, I don't think they make any.
Hello. I have this controller that is also from HORI and the turbo button basically very quickly presses a button over and over again when you just hold it.
For example, I turn on turbo and hold the A button on the controller and the controller registers the A button over and over again. So I guess if there was a part in a game where I had to mash A to get out of something I could just turn on turbo and hold the A button and let it mash the button for me. I personally never use the turbo feature. Basically auto rapid fire.
It's called turbo because it registers the pressed button at "turbo" speeds, I guess.
It wasn't in the original trailer because the controller you have linked is from HORI, and they make third party accessories. All the accessories leaked today are from HORI and not from Nintendo, so of course this controller wouldn't be in the trailer. The controller in the trailer was an official controller from Nintendo where this one that you have linked is a third party one made by HORI.
You’re talking about these ones? Those are developed by Nintendo.
Then there are some Nintendo licensed third party controllers. Which look a lot like a GC controller.
As pigcheddars said, the Wii U Gamecube controller is only usable in Smash but you can use the Hori Battle Pad as a Wii Pro Controller.
Hori is also doing one with turbo buttons but it has the old c-stick.
Yeah, that was exactly the controller I was thinking about. I got the Luigi one for the Wii U. The A button just felt so clicky and cheap, which entirely ruined it for me. But this controller intrigues me since it's wireless and has all the buttons a pro controller has.
Keep in mind some alternatives exist. For example, the HORI Battle Pad plugs into a Wiimote and is similar to the GC controller. It can give you a GC feel without an adapter, with less wires strewn everywhere, and with a nice character-based paint job.
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Battle-Luigi-Version-Turbo-u/dp/B00ND0E604/
I got myself two of these, recently:

It's Gamecube controller-shaped Wii classic controller that plugs into Wii remotes. Great substitute for the gamecube adapter for Smash. I'm loving them so far.

best controller for analog play + mayflash adapter

This, coupled with a Wiimote, which is Bluetooth and is possible to use on a pc, would be your best solution. Hori is known for quality third-party peripherals.
Why is there one with no logo of PS or Xbox, is it some kind of "nonoriginal" or what is it? https://www.amazon.de/Fighting-Commander-PS4-PS3-PC/dp/B017QORK8W/ref=pd_sbs_63_1/262-6847641-5510256?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B017QORK8W&pd_rd_r=4809498f-e058-42cf-a8f8-68223ce6f18c&pd_rd_w=fpUbI&pd_rd_wg=3sUPX&pf_rd_p=74d946ea-18de-4443-bed6-d8837f922070&pf_rd_r=XYTY4XXEG6MWK466SKAG&psc=1&refRID=XYTY4XXEG6MWK466SKAG

Same here. I use this because I heard about the d-pads and FC3 rotating after awhile.
The shoulder buttons can be very very sensitive which can work against you depending on who you are.
The d-pads and the buttons are initially very very stiff. I took to the controller like a duck to water honestly. Combos are a little easier, sometimes I find that I'm getting ahead of the inputs though.
Any controller you're comfortable with will work. Especially a console controller. I almost exclusively play fighting games. When i was using a pad it was similar to this.

Personally i use an arcade stick but that's just cause it's how i learned to play fighting games.
Unfortunately the fighting commander 4 is the older version.
The 4 and 3 toggle on the front lets you switch from PS4 to PS3 modes, but there is no PC mode.
This is the newer one with 4/3/PC switch.
The fighting commander 4 you ordered is still good though, and Capcom has plans to support the game with X-input eventually.
In the meantime, I hear x360ce works really well.
It has the same price in all European Amazons, but here you have:

But its a reseller and also from Japan, so in the end it doesnt matter where you buy it.
There's a new version out too, I've had it for like a week and it's pretty good. I'm kinda new to street fighter and played with a xbox360 controller before, this certainly feels better.

Hori Fighting Commander is the answer to your issues https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fighting-Commander-PS4-PS3-PC/dp/B017QORK8W/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1486075001&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=hori+commander
hori fighting pad my personal favorite
Amazon has it: Fighting Commander
That looks similar to this one, yet I've been told this is actually a cheaper version of fc4, with not has many features, so I'm confused now...
This one is actually cheaper than the fc4 here in Europe though.
The new one has xinput support. Maybe you can return it for that?
It's just called the Hori Fighting Commander. http://www.amazon.com/PS4-PS3-PC-compatible-Fighting-commander/dp/B017QORK8W/
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fighting-Commander-PS4-PS3-PC/dp/B017QORK8W
Consider this too.
you gotta get a different controller. https://www.amazon.com/PS4-PS3-PC-compatible-Fighting-commander/dp/B017QORK8W would be 100x better
No stick is fine, especially for SFV, since it is very forgiving. I'm a Gief/Guile main that started on SNES/arcades, and use a pad because the 360 motions are easier for me. I've used a Hori Fighting Commander for two years now and it's held up well. It feels a little cheap (especially the shoulder buttons), but the d-pad is smooth and responsive and 360s/720s are a piece of cake. Assuming you are on PC, I think this one should work:
https://www.amazon.com/PS4-PS3-compatible-Fighting-commander-14210711/dp/B017QORK8W/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=hori+fighting+commander&qid=1570026106&sr=8-3
Maybe once every couple years, they go on sale for $19.99 at Amazon, but anything under $40 is a good price. If you've ever used a SNES or Japanese Saturn pad, it's a good choice that will be easy to get used to.
I'm looking for a fightpad for the PS4. The Dualshock 4 is great, but I think six face buttons would really improve my game, as I sometimes find using the bumpers and the triggers a bit confusing.
It seems that there are two options:
Hori Fighting Commander
Mad Catz Fightpad Pro
The Hori has gotten great reviews and it looks amazing (my first SF experiences were on the Sega Genesis, so I love the design), but I've heard that the d-pad breaks after a short period of time. I also would have to import it from Japan, which isn't that convenient.
The Mad Catz, on the other hand, has gotten very negative reviews, but the one I'm interested in is the new improved version. The revised fightpad seems to be well received, but there's not much information about it. And many people online seem to say that everything Mad Catz does, besides the sticks, is garbage.
So, any opinions / experiences on either of these?
here's the hori I found
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017QORK8W/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&amp;me=

Google and the search bar of this subreddit are your friend....
This is what you want.
>Main advantage against the first party thing is that you still get all your USB ports. And for me personally that you can pull out the brain of the box and use it as a dongle for your laptop/phone.
If people are just concerned about tabletop mode while charging and USB ports,there's a solution for that as well. Current pricing $28, and folds really slim. I LOVE it, but for me the jumpgate is a different solution entirely (we want another dock and also something to run Samsung dex). I'm sure I'll find other uses for the core drive as well.
Also on Amazon.
I don't have the charging stand in the OP but I have the HORI Multiport USB Playstand (also NOT a mini dock) : $27.99. If you don't mind something bigger, it might be worth it for the extra USB ports, more stable stand, and multiple viewing angles.

Nope. It is a key part of the dock that it starts outputting via HDMI. Seems like what you want is a stand, like Hori's PlayStand, or if you want something the system can just sit on and be charging without extra effort of plugging in a cable Nintendo's charging stand or HORI's fancier one with more USB port.
A bit late to answer but there is a USB hub made by HORI and is officially licensed by Nintendo. You can get it here. I own one myself but have only tested it by using controllers with it and it worked fine and charged my switch at full speed. Check it out if you want.
I saw this officially licensed tabletop mode usb hub and I was wondering if there was simply an accessory to charge my switch and use one usb accessory at the same time in handheld mode?
That's the one. Sorry
Hori's USB Stand works if you wanna spend the money on that.
The dock that comes with the switch can do that..
If you need tabletop mode and charging + controllers then hori makes one that works. Be warned it charges slowly though. Amazon Link
Both the pro controller have their strength as weaknesses, so it really depends on what you value more

Misc/Personal Preference
Like I said, both controllers feel amazing to use and are comfortable in your hands, so it all comes down to your own preference.
A lot of the GameCube controller's problems (like needing a wired connection and the lack of buttons) can be solved by buying third party controllers. I know PowerA has a wireless GameCube controller with all the extra buttons and features coming out soon. It is important to note that third party GameCube controllers have a history of bring poorly made and breaking after a few weeks. Hori also has a portable stand for the Switch with a bunch of usb docks that you could use (I don't know how to put links into text because I don't really use Reddit that much so I'll link it below). I would be careful if you're going to use it because third party docks can brick your Switch.
Hori Switch Dock:
HORI Nintendo Switch Multiport USB Playstand - Nintendo Switch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A827XHM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_nXcXBbF1P2CAY
tl;dr GameCube controllers are great if you want to get really competitive with Smash but have a lot of issues regarding flexibility, while Pro controllers are great for adaptability but lag could become a problem.
Edit: Some formatting stuff and moved the different trigger types under a new miscellaneous category
If you're willing to drop the money, you can get this stand from Hori.
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Nintendo-Switch-Multiport-USB-Playstand/dp/B01A827XHM
One option is the HORI Nintendo Switch Multiport USB Playstand, but I think (though I'm not really sure) that any USB hub will suffice.

The World Ends With You
Here's a link for anyone who doesn't know the source.
If you have a DS and haven't played this game, pick it up!
This raving lunatic was dying in my arms. Wait, why is he putting his glasses on my fa....
Where once nothing stood, a blond teenager manifested, his left hand spread over his sick, smiling face, and in his right hand gripped a still smoking gun.
I stammered, "Who the hell ar--"
"You weren't supposed to put the glasses on", the boy sighed, cutting me off, sounding as if I'm nothing more than an inconvenience as his left hand drooped from his face, revealing a bored expression. The gun shifted away from the homeless man to me as I took off.
Boom
Ripping through the newly formed crowd I heard that gunshot tear through the air and burrow itself into my back. damn, I thought to myself as warmth overtook my body, and as my vision faded a hand gripped my hair and jerked my face towards theirs.
The boy was kneeling in front of me, the sick smile back on his face. "Well, I'm sorry you died, but you get to play the reapers' game, lucky you", the words tauntingly dripped from his mouth, my senses finally fading away.
------------
For anyone who doesn't know, the reapers' game is a reference to The World Ends With You, a fantastic little known gem from the DS. It's highly recommended.
I tried so hard to ignore Diablo III, but when I saw a playthrough of the monk in the open beta, I blacked out a few minutes into it. When I came to, I found myself on this page. Unfortunately I don't have enough money at the moment to buy it when it comes out, but I'll definitely be looking forward to playing it when I do.
I understand what you mean about Skyrim though, I've sunk about 30 hours into the game and can't bring myself to play the damn thing anymore (though admittedly, that's probably more gameplay than I could get out of a lot of games these days). There's just too much content and not enough substance in some of these open world games, and for some reason all the decent linear RPGs have been floating over to the mobile market like you said. Just look at some of the JRPGs the DS has to offer, like The World Ends With You (more commonly known as: "The Best Thing Square Enix Has Done In Years") and Radiant Historia (both of which could probably be emulated if you so desired). So yeah, buying a PSP or DS might not be a bad deal.
On an unrelated note, can I ask you a quick question? I haven't played any Zelda games since ALTTP and have been looking to get back into the series for a while now, but can't really decide which one I should jump into. So, between Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, and Wind Waker, which would you recommend the most?
Available and cheap. My apologies if you're not in the US.
This is definitely an underutilized mechanic, which is a shame. There are only two other games that spring to mind that use drawing as a means of combat and/or world interaction. In case you're interested, these are:
The Void: An extremely abstract game, but strangely alluring (both in gameplay and world design) to me.
The World Ends With You: You may have already heard about this one. It's way more approachable than The Void, and if you like eclectic J-Pop/Pop music, it's super fun to fight to the music.
Amazon?
For those wondering, the actual DS game goes for the same price — new. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00136MBHA/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=new

Am I missing something? I ordered this one for $36 via Amazon.
I'm not hacking together much I didn't think? I just want to use the Playstation Move controllers for motion control so I can move my hands around and grab stuff in game. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what exactly I need.
I have my phone with VR games and Steam with VR games on it, i have a regular controller, and I just bought the google headset. I'm just wondering which controller would be best for me to play games with while sitting at home that will allow me to reach out and grab things in the game or swing my arms or what have you.
Thanks for your assistance.
Camera not included and no controllers.

Which also isn't true. There was the dual analog controller they released before N64 came out. The 2 dual analog controllers for PS1 that came out before dual shock. The PS2 one stayed the same as dual shock, but every button was made analog. The PS3 boomerang they tried but everyone hated, so PS3's looked the same as dualshock. Sony gets far less credit than they deserve. Move is still used thanks to PSVR

Import a pair from the US from Amazon , will cost you $103
The reprinted one with the new cover is on Amazon for only $20. This one says it's Volume 1 of the Zero Escape series, and imo, looks better. The other one has a cover of the group, but the games are exactly the same. No new/removed content on the newest printing.

Love this game to bits but you have to like mystery/visual novel type games. There is a LOT of reading, it's literally dispersed into puzzle and novel portions, but if you want to experience a story that'll blow your goddamn mind I totally recommend it.
More games like this that are heavily story/puzzle based:
Ace Attorney series
Hotel Dusk
Ghost Trick
These are all pretty hard to find in stores but most of them are pretty cheap on amazon right now. ghost trick ,999, hotel dusk
The first one is a DS game, so yes you can buy the DS cart and play it just fine on a 3DS.
It's currently $21.90 on Amazon new
It is, It's an DS game

He did mention Amazon. You'd have to buy the Japanese version and then apply a translation patch afterwards. A bit of Googling turns up a few other shopping sites as well.

I love this! I might actually steal this idea when I start packing up.
I have several interests but I'll have to say that I've kind of had a kick recently learning about mysterious disappearances. For example, Ambrose Small Canadian Millionaire entered his office and mysteriously vanishes. It was a very popular case at the time and even Sir Arthur Conan Doyle expressed interest in the case but decided not to peruse it.
Another one that I find really interesting is the mysterious case of Nicholas Barclay who, at the age of 13, never makes it home from the basketball court. What makes this whole thing interesting is that Frederic Bourdin, a French con-artist, successfully impersonated the lost boy in spite of looking nothing like him (he had brown eyes where as Nicholas had blue) and speaking in a heavy French accent. There is a fantastic documentary about the whole ordeal called 'The Impersonator' on netflix. Frederic admitted to authorities of not being Nicholas after five months and told authorities that Nicholas' mother had confessed to him that she knew that he was not Nicholas because she had helped dispose of his body. Definitely suspicious but Frederic is a con-man so it's hard to know if what he said was true. We'll probably never know what became of Nicholas.
I think this represents me the best because I love challenges, mysteries, and weird kidnapping cases.
looks fun

Wouldn't it be much more effective to spend the money on malaria nets or something instead? Let's just assume that a PlayStation 3 costs $250, a malaria net costs $5, and 1 in every 400 malaria nets saves a life. Then with a $2,000 donation, you could either buy eight PS3s, or save one life.
Is the choice obvious?
That shouldn't be the case, unless they come with games/movies/move. They are all the slim model now; they won't be labeled as slim. [This] (http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-3-160GB-System/dp/B003VUO6H4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1325096787&amp;sr=8-1) is what you're looking for.
160 GB PS3 slim is $250.
4GB XBOX 360 is $200.
If you have to go out and then buy a separate blu ray player, it looks like a great deal to me.

Just like Link said, just gift ideas.
It was actually slightly higher than 100, but not by much.
I bought a used version of this PS3 (the $110 dollar one that is fufilled by Amazon). It had some holiday deal thing automatically applied that took like 27 or 28 dollars off of it. Since it is fufilled by Amazon, I got free shipping with Amazon Prime.
Then, I got a used copy of NCAA 14 that was listed at 25 dollars and cheap shipping.
With taxes and whatnot it ended up being somewhere around 115 dollars.

That Singstar crap will probably be useless but Ratchet & Clank is great.
It's not fucking false. You're telling me that every single person in the 90s had one? That's idiotic. 200 us dollars back then is the same as 350 now. Right now, you can get the most expensive console for $250 which leaves $100 for 3 games, easy. It's not like $150 is a trivial amount of money for a kid's toy even today.

Pick one and use that instead of a pc, just kidding, but seriously listen servers are awful for any kind of pvp game especially fps games, I have no problem with matchmaking on dedis like csgo, but fuck me if I have to play cod again on listen servers. (Oh and I know you said dedis+ matchmaking, but separating an already small userbase is never a good idea)
I'm curious though, why do you want matchmaking? It can't be the party system because that works on dedis as well, it can't be that it's easier because it's not, you can easily find a server with whatever gamemode you want if you don't care about the connection which you obviously don't since you want to play on listen servers. Afraid of getting kicked by admins? True, that is a problem, but that can easily get fixed by actually using the favorites feature that every good server browser have.
Well I got mine from a friend so I didn't pay much, but I've seen some on CL for for around 200 to 230. If you feel more comfortable with Amazon, their warehouse is selling some for $231 like-new. Most likely the box was dented, but no damage done to anything inside. I've bought a ton of stuff from Amazon Warehouse and everything was always in great condition. On the off chance it isn't, returns are easy.

$108 on Amazon.
Amazon has the base system for $249 with free shipping. I'm in a 6% sales tax state so for me, that would save $15 versus buying it locally at Wal Mart or somewhere like that.
This works without the PC https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Rock-Band-MIDI-PRO-3/dp/B0042B3EOM
https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Rock-Band-MIDI-PRO-3/dp/B0042B3EOM
IIRC, you can always find a cheap MIDI kit and use the RB3 MIDI Pro Adapter. I managed to find a kit all too similar to the ION Drum Rocker for only $50! And although it didn't have a bass pedal, I managed to create my own using a cymbal pad as well as the structure used to hold up the Guitar Hero drum kit absolutely free. If the kit doesn't work at first, you can make it work for sure using Bome's MIDI Translator too.
Is this MIDI Pro Adapter what you're referring to?
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0042B3EOM/ref=twister_B004VKH986?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I'm not on RB4 yet, so someone correct me if my info is outdated. That drum should work just fine. The connector you need is the Rockband MIDI Pro-Adapter found Here for X-box and Here for Playstation. It's pretty much impossible to find the adapter other than online. In addition you will need to purchase a short MIDI to MIDI cable as seen here (these are pretty easy to find at any music store, but you'll pay the usual 400% markup). Total cost is somewhere around $25-$45 to get you up and running.
Any midi kit will work. I got one preowned for about 400 CAD, new is obviously much more expensive. Honestly, I got it for practicing drums quietly (or at least more quietly than acoustic), it working with Rock Band was a bonus. PS3 and PS4 both work using the PS3 Pro Midi adapter.
Llama is a pain in the ass, but I've always been a glutton for punishment in rhythm games. Again, I'm "that guy" who prefers playing for challenge and mechanical proficiency over simply songs that are good to listen to. Songs that are good and fun are definitely my most played, though, with Rush and Iron Maiden being easily my most played artists on Rock Band.
I've also been fooling around with a PC game by the name of Phase Shift lately. The aforementioned Midi Adapter and my PS3 GH guitar worked out of the box with it, and Custom Creators Collective has a ton of good customs for Rock Band, plus a tool for converting from RB format to Phase Shift format. I've been having a ton of fun with Domino the Destitute by Coheed and Cambria, for an example of an easier song that I enjoy playing..
Thanks, your reply is super helpful.
So would you say that the gameplay on ps4 is actually worse due to the roll limit (Seems many users have issues with other bugs as well)?
>there's also a user-made adapter that doesn't suffer from the roll limit. Another $50 if you end up needing it.
I assume you are talking about this. Would that be a replacement for the adapter I would need anyway? Meaning I should buy that even if I go with a ps3, to give me the option to roll limitless on a ps4 in the future.

Here's one I found for you! You can find em much cheaper on eBay
If you have this Rock Band Pro adaptor and an E-kit that outputs this kind of midi port then yes, you're good to go. The problem is simply many newer E-kits have moved on in favor of USB connections for output which will not work on the PS4 version of Rock Band 4.

Since the DM6 only has a USB port, you'd have to connect it first to a computer. Then use a usb to midi converter to go from your computer to the midi pro adapter: http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Rock-Band-MIDI-PRO-3/dp/B0042B3EOM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1454095898&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=ps3+midi+pro+adapter Then plug the pro adapter into the PS4.
Not sure what the software you need for the computer. Some sort of basic midi conversion thing, I guess.
Please correct me if I'm wrong here, for PS4 on Rockband 4, all I should need is the ps3 midi adapter, and the midi cable right? If so, I already ordered it yesterday.

>Are they going to be cheaper on Steam Summer Sale? Probably, but they are not $60.
They have already been cheaper to obtain on pc than the "are $37 and $40" prices you've listed.
Every pre-order except for Steam will receive the synthetic burlap map of Skyrim. As far as where to get it, check with local game stores or place a pre-order on Amazon with release date delivery. I believe it is a bit cheaper on Amazon as well.
My guess is war and my favorite game is skyrim

If you have no other method of playing it, go for it. If you have a 360 or PS3, it'd be better to go for the HD Collection, which is probably the best overall (and only $24 on amazon right now!)
Here are my favorites:
And I'm really enjoying Spec Ops: The Line right now.
You can get 2, 3 and Peace Walker in the HD collection for $13 right now.

The revamped graphics make things sharper and cutscenes just look great, one could say "movie-esque". Here's an old comparison video. I didn't notice that much difference in MGS, like I did in MGS2.
Gameplay was still the same from before.
Just to be clear, the collection I'm referring to is the Legacy not the HD Collection.
If anything, I'd recommend the Legacy pack. Sure, it's the HD Collection (for the most part). But, it adds in MGS4, MGS, MGS VR Missions. At $50, it's a steal.

As for if you should give 1 or 2 gifts, I think 2 might be a lot of fun! But it might depend on what the "1st place" person has on their list and what you want to give them! I'd say make the decision based off of what you want to give the main winner! =)

Dude, you have no excuse for not playing it. The game is now 2 years old and you can buy it brand new with every single piece of dlc for $30.
EDIT: It is in a spoiler tag for a reason, it contains, you guessed it, spoilers
EDIT 2: I thought I would be clever in giving a spoiler, but it was not cool, so my bad, I removed it.

OP you dun goofed. You can get RDR for that same price but with all of the DLC which adds 20+ hours of gameplay. Link if anyone is interested. RDR is in my opinion one of the best games this generation and I would recommend it to anyone.

You can get the original for $50 now. If you enjoyed XCX even in the slightest, you should definitely play it.
It's scheduled to come out on the eshop at some point, at least according to Wikipedia. God knows when though. At the very least, you can now find it on Amazon for an affordable price. It may not be the most reasonable for a 2.5 year old game, but at least it's not going for $200 anymore.
Cheapest on Amazon is still way overpriced for a game that's 6 years old now, even if it's rare.
My credit/debit card doesn't work with German Paypal, regardless of how much I yell at it.

This is a bit expensive but would solve all problems except the nunchuck one :c
The game is not available on the eshop in NA but you can find it here
Uh what are you talking about? It's $60 on Amazon as well and there were reprints of the game recently being passed around.
I just had a look at Amazon.com...:
http://www.amazon.com/XenoBlade-Chronicles-RP-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B007RNWUC4/
As great as this game is, WTF is wrong with the pricing there?!
Used prices start at $136, new at $175...
edit: Apparently the release for the west was an exclusive to Gamestop, and still is it seems. And there are not going to be more supplies.
That is crazy..
I think that's because the UK had a much larger print run than the NA run. I don't know if you can see this from the UK, but here's the NA page for Xenoblade: http://www.amazon.com/XenoBlade-Chronicles-RP-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B007RNWUC4/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1373145903&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=XenoBlade
The cheapest used copy costs $94.99 + $3.99 shipping. Lowest brand new price is $194.99 + $3.99 shipping.

They aren't realistic prices, some games are just inflated out the wazzoo on Amazon.
I'm surprised it's so expensive in America... it's $50 standard at EB Games, and EB is generally considered the most expensive of all our game retailers.
HOLY FUCKING CHRIST WHAT ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH!?
WHY IS IT SO FUCKING EXPENSIVE?
That's actually a good deal
How about....a WiiU?
I have one myself and I love it. I just need to get some more games for it
Dang girl
I don't have any gift cards yet, but I am saving money, and hoping for the price drop soon. I want the wiiu and some games.
I freakin love nintendo stuff and I just got a new job and the SO moved out so I have more time to play now, but it's been too expensive for me to justify buying.
oh yea, Saving Private Ryan
This or This or This
Why?
1 Wii U - well I collect video games and LOVE nintendo and I have been wanting to play one for a long time now.
2 Barbell - Im getting in to working out and I have dumbbells and a bench so I would like to add this to stuff I can do
3 drawing desk - I love to draw and I would like a place to do it. I have always wanted one of these. (the glass one)

I got my PS3 for $40, and only needed a $30 part to fix it.
/r/frugal, son.
Sorry, it's 50 cents more expensive. I'd say Amazon is your best bet here. It won't be on sale in normal stores for a while, and i haven't found any cheaper. There was one a while ago that had it for $46 or something, but they sold out. Sorry i can't help more. I know the pain of Aussie prices.
To be fair, Skyrim is still going for more than ME3. Both new and used.

XO Ones are pretty good for a low price. They go on sale relatively often on Amazon. Currently $57.99

EDIT: lol why have I been down voted?
> MH751 or MH752
Neither of these CoolerMaster headsets seem to have a removable mic.Here are some examples of ones which do:
Search on the amazon page for the gaming headset for "removable" or "detachable" and see if it says the microphone is removable (as the above two examples do show).
Not to be ride but that Payson headset was horrible for me. The absolute best headphones that I've ever had are these. https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Force-Amplified-Gaming-Headset/dp/B00KSVXSZU.
I use them for my PS4 and with my Xbox one for everything.
The Elite Pro Tactical Audio Adapter is pretty good, I use the first Edition of it.
Maybe you will find it somewhere, it seems to be out of production.
Edit: The first Edition comes with this Headset in a bundle.
I've just purchased Turtle Beach XO One Amplified Stereo Gaming Headset few weeks ago for £42,99, it's lightweight and it includes an Xbox One turtle beach Headset adapter.

I managed to snag mine early, but another thing I looked into was the PDP Wii U version of the Gamecube controller. To clarify, it's a Wii U Controller done in the style of a Gamecube controller that wires into a WiiMote much like a classic controller for the Wii. I don't know how it performs and would like to think its a good replacement, and if I manage to get a test run on it and am satisfied might look into getting one as a 3rd Wii U Controller.
Does anyone have any experience with the PDP Controller, actually?
I like these glossier ones better
Hasn't been released yet. Amazon says March 20th.

when you can preorder more vendors will be listed and pick one that ships to the frozen wastes of americas hat.

or order from some place like newegg that is US based and ships there. since the back is not official you will have to wait a bit to order.
While neither look optimal, and I'm getting neither, each version has their strengths and weaknesses.
In the HORI one, the turbo switch and button is an immediate turn off. Any controller with turbo is usually third-party trash and it makes less good players, better through manipulation and I don't like that. The overall build seems like it's a cheaper plastic that the standard ones.
In the PDP one, it is super glossy which looks strange. The C-stick is replaced with a second analog stick, which may be an improvement in some cases, so I don't know how I feel about that. The D-pad looks pretty terrible as well. It is a licensed third party manufacturer on these so, I don't know if that is good or bad.
Personally, I'm getting the Smash Bros WiiU bundle with a GC controller and 4 port adapter and I can use my GC controllers I still have or a Wavebird.
If you want a GC controller spoof for the classic controller like the HORI and PDP essentially are, you can get a Mayflash adapter and just plug any old GC controller into it. I have one and it works really well. Wouldn't recommend it for frame perfect reaction games like Smash, just like I wouldn't recommend a Wavebird either, but it works well.
Should get one of the Pro Controller
I have an external HDD for game that consumed a lot of storage such as Xenoblade Chronicles X
Also have USB to ethernet adapter if your wi-fi doesn't live up to expectation
You'll need GameCube Adapter if you want to play SSB4 with a bunch of people.
For games I think you should check the wiki
Use a Battle Pad. It's a
Pro ControllerClassic Controller with the same layout as the Gamecube Controller. It looks awesome and I'm getting one. (I promise I'm not a paid shill.)EDIT: /u/piford brought to my attention that this is actually a Classic Controller. Whoops.

Ready Nov 21st. I'd suggest pre-ordering now.
It sells for 19.99 normally that's not a good deal at all. It's currently under $19 on Amazon.
Edit for the idiots down voting me. $19.99 is the msrp of the game. Anything over that is not a good deal.
http://camelcamelcamel.com/World-Ends-You-Nintendo-DS/product/B00136MBHA?context=browse
I got mine on amazon. I bought two used from resellers. Even came with prime shipping. $19.99 each.
My current HTPC is my old desktop, but lets pretend its not.
My last HTPC was a Compaq CQ2024 I bought in an online auction for $150
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&amp;lc=en&amp;dlc=en&amp;docname=c03091641
It uses a peak of 65 watts, and thats including running the 2 harddrives that I doubt you are including in your wattage, since you would need to use an external harddrive with an additional wall wart to power it.
But just for shits and grins, lets calculate the cost of using my current HTPC. It has a 350 watt power supply. So I'm using 350 watts if I max it out.
350 watts is 8.4 kilowatts a day. Price per a kilowatt in my area is 12 cents. So it costs me roughly a $1 a day to run if I'm tweaking the tits off this thing. Which I'm not. But I digress.
Some quick googling tells me the raspberry pi uses .2 amps at 12.5 volts
http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=80794
This works out to 2.5 watts, 60 watts a day, or roughly 2 kilowatts a month.
I would take about 35 days and a few hours to pay for a raspberryPi, at my electric usage.
But wait, you said gaming PC didn't you? Thats RIGHT! I can game with this thing, and you can't with a raspberryPi.
PC games are on par with PS3 games, right? Most titles are transferred over nowadays.
How much wattage do one of those use?
http://www.edepot.com/playstation3.html#PS3_Model_Differences
Looks like some use as much as 380 (MORE than my HTPC), and the lowest (the super slim) uses 180 watts max.
350 (my PC) - 180 (super slim PS3) = +170 delta in wattage.
Looks like a new one is going for $275
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Playstation-3-Slim-160GB/dp/B003VUO6H4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1370289930&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=PS3+Super+Slim
At 170 watt/hour difference in usage (at a cost of $00.0204 per hour), I would have to game for 561 days to make up the difference in cost between my free PC that was destined for the parts bin and a PS3 Super Slim.
And thats just using nice big round numbers. Its not using a full 350 watts. Its a 65 watt CPU + another 100ish for the 2 harddrives and the video card. It might ramp to a full 200-250 if I'm actually playing a game.

At the moment the GTA5 500GB bundle starts at $360 (on Amazon). I'd say $269 is a price drop. 12GB systems go for $199 without a game (at Walmart). For $20 more and the price of a game you get much more storage.
So yeah, you could technically just go ahead and spend $199 on a 12GB system... but you'd eventually want to upgrade the HDD.
Worth mentioning there are more designs, such as a Pikachu one, a Lugi one, Link, Metal Mario, DK, Yoshi, Peach, Wario, and Samus. There might more designs, but that's all I found.
Regarding quality, they are officially licensed by Nintendo, so they should be good.
