SOLD Night Slashers and Battletoads

[XtraSmiley]

Selling a very nice Night Slashers and Battletoads (looks almost new). Actually, they were for trade and @AlxUnderBase worked very hard to try and trade for them, but in the end, he and his brother seemed to have a HUGE love of these games like I do (they are my third copies!), so I just out right sold them to them.

He paid $1600 USD shipped to a US address where he is having a big box forward to him. I'll post tracking to him with signature delivery in the US when I get back from the PS.

He also paid up front via PayPal, not a payment, so I want to make this thread so he can rest easy that I am not going to try to rip him off. He's gotten videos and pics of the games he's getting and I can post here as well.

AND before you damn A-P price police harass me or or him, here is a recently sold BT that is UNTESTED on eBay, check out that price. @AlxUnderBase got a good deal IMO!

No harassment friend, you are obeying the rules by posting the sale price and I appreciate that.
Night Slashers has just exploded in price over the last few years, that's not your fault and you aren't a flipper for profit.

 

[AlxUnderBase]

Thank you , @Mo for your patience & great infos and notes you offered me ! Hope you will complete some of your desired brawlers with that or a part of what i've offered you in exchange of your goodies !

That's not the only game that exploded @jassin000. I had 2 Battletoads PCB's a few years ago, both around the €75 mark :O

But it's a great game imo, you will enjoy it Alex. Take good care of @PascalP 's old board (iirc), but I have no doubt you will

 

[jassin000]

@Sp33dFr34k I'm down with Night Slashers, its my most favorite Data East game EVER (I know that's not saying much most of their games suck hard).
Battletoads tho... Man I can't spit enough poison at that "meetoo" wanabe TMNT trash.
I also hate how everyone pretends Rare was a good developer, OK so I'll play along... what's the best game they ever made?

Killer Instinct. Banjo Kazooie. Solar Jetman on NES was pretty good back in the day. A lot of people like Goldeneye (I'm not one of them). Same with Viva Pinata.

But yeah, KI 1+2 were both pretty great.

Snake Rattle n Roll.

Yep, all it takes is 2 guys who are sick of waiting for a game to go nuts on it to see $1100 on one sale. But one sale at 1100 doesn't make for a new going rate.

Still, the pair of those for 1600 is pretty fair.

 

[jassin000]

Killer Instinct

meetoo MK

But yeah, KI 1+2 were both pretty great.

What's so great about taking shortcuts to game play in the form of dial-a-combos?
I hated MK3/UMK3 when they did it... Because its lazy.
"if you can memorize a phone number you too can pull off a 22hit combo!" NO! Just fucking NO!

Banjo Kazooie

Shallow platformer collect-a-thon

Solar Jetman

Uh... I don't know what that even is

Goldeneye

Yea it was no revolution or revelation, it just happened to be in the right place (a main stream console) at the right time (first REAL 3D FPS on console)

Viva Pinata

Was Ok I guess, for what it was (can't be disappointed if you didn't expect much)

Snake Rattle n Roll

Uh... I don't know what that even is

Donkey Kong series

OH SNAP you got me!
Yes DK1 and 2 are both great platformers on SNES, not necessarily revolutionary even with its pre-rendered graphics but solid in every respect.
The later games tho, shallow cash grabs designed to milk the DK name.
Remember how I called Banjo Kazooie a shallow platformer collect-a-thon? DK64 was EVEN WORSE!

Shallow platformer collect-a-thon

Deeper and better than SM64.

 

[jassin000]

Deeper and better than SM64.

Blasphemy!
Also SM64 came first, so highlander rules kick in (aka if you can't be first you better damn well do it better than everyone else or don't bother).

Killer Instinct

meetoo MK

Banjo Kazooie

Shallow platformer collect-a-thon

Sorry man... if you don't like KI, that's cool. Different strokes, different folks. But that game is NOTHING like Mortal Kombat outside of having finishing moves. Its look, its mechanics, its characters? Yeah. No.

I'm no huge fan of the Banjo games either but they are in no way shallow. You can argue that they're derivative of Mario 64 but they expand on that game's mechanics in several ways and have better graphics and a much better camera system.

 

[MissionFailed]

yep. ebay is a two bidder system. Everyone else is just playing. New highs are outliers not trends.

Revers Importing makes single sales higher. getting a item from the US to the EU adds cost. people tend to want back what they have in it. Fair.

That BT auction looked really suspicious as a pump, so i stayed away.

 

[twistedsymphony]

OK so I'll play along... what's the best game they ever made?

My personal Fav Rare game has always been Blast Corps.

 

[jassin000]

But that game is NOTHING like Mortal Kombat outside of having finishing moves

That is just my point tho, it was cashing in on what was popular at the time.
Do the finishing moves seem out of place in that game, like maybe they were tacked on? Absolutely!
Because it was about popular imitation, not about what fit best for that particular game.

"We better put some fatalities in this, but lets not call them that because it will be too obvious what we are actually doing"

You're 100% right the game plays nothing like MK2...
To pull off a 8 hit combo in that, you actually needed to chain special moves together, not just tap a series of buttons.
Ultra combo indeed, ultra no skilled players and pure shallow flash.

they're derivative of Mario 64

Right SM64 was first, so it was a meetoo game.

and have better graphics and a much better camera system

True, but graphical effects always improve over time on consoles as programmers learn how to use resources more efficiently.
The camera system yes 100% better, but again its easy to come along and fix a problem, whats hard is inventing the wheel and Rare has NEVER done that.

Let us not forget, its been proven the only reason why DK64 required the memory expansion... It has a memory leak bug in its code where the game will eventually crash. Rare just thru up their hands and said...
"F it, we can't fix this... but if we double the memory it won't crash for 24 hours, and no gamer plays for that long in a single session"
Yea fellow game fans, the fix was to hide the truth and not actually correct the problem. #rare_sucks

My personal Fav Rare game has always been Blast Corps.

Oh snap my 2nd gocha in this thread! Yes T Blast Corps was pretty awesome.

Oh man, this is my favorite N64 title.

Oh man, this is my favorite N64 title.

I know! It's so good I forgot who made it.

 

[twistedsymphony]

I'm not a Rare fanboy by any stretch, some of their titles I loved, and some I never liked.

But, I DO enjoy playing Battle Toads and the KI series. No question that they were definitely jumping on the TMNT and MK bandwagons but they've both got their own unique style and fun gameplay elements. Does it really matter that the CONCEPT is a rip-off as long as you enjoy playing it?
