Mega Man - The Wily Wars (fantastic!)

[The Manimal]

I just got this in the mail today. Paid $38 AFTER shipping for a brand new (unsealed) complete copy of this game for the Mega Drive PLUS a brand new Super Mega Key. The converter alone goes for around $50 but I paid less than that plus got MM 'TWW'. I am ecstatic that I finally have this... Got it off eBay (hint hint), which there seems to be a boatload of these right now. It seems like a "warehouse" find similar to the one that knocked the price of Scorpions "Taken By Force" CD from around $200 to $20. I am very tempted to buy another right now for resale but as said, the price might have dropped quite a bit.


I wish there was a password feature, though...so I could give myself 9 energy tanks. Oh well, I'll live without 'em.

That's pretty awesome. you've rekindled my interest in this game.

How is the performance? Does the converter make the game play as if it was an NTSC game?

[The Manimal]

Yes. I tried it without the adaptor on my Genny and got a message saying the game was for use with PAL or SECAM Mega Drive or something like that. I tried using it with the Super Mega Key (which was included when purchased) with the switches set to EUROPE and it started up fine as if it was a USA Genny game. I set the switches to USA and the game gave me the same message as without the adaptor.

I see a silvery sticker on the box in the listing's picture, is that on the insert or on the outside when you got your copy?

[esquire]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely have to get one of these.

Awesome. I really liked playing this collection on emulator and I hope I can win one with the adapter as I'd love to have both ;D. Thanks for the heads up.

It's a sticker on the outside of the case.

Thanks for the big tip!!

[Nesmaster]

i WILL be picking this up once i get some cash and paypal

[s1lence]

There is now one less avalible. Sorry I was impatient.

[The Manimal]

BTW, for those who bid and want an estimate of payment to arrival time. I paid 4/21 and received (today) 5/2. So around 10 days for me (I live in the U.S.). Previously the seller only listed "Local Pickup/Italy Only" in the auction description but I emailed him and asked if he'd ship it overseas, and he said he would. That's probably why I (and a few others) got it for such a low price. He lists that he'll ship it worldwide now. To note, there's a few up there with BIN right now as well as a couple listed really low without a reserve, like $1. I'm going to watch the non-BIN ones hehe. I looked through the guys feedback and a guy from UK purchased a couple of these already. I think he's going to hoard them and sell them separate for a premium, as I have noticed that U.K. auctions sell higher than other European listed auctions. Probably convienience of same language with North American bidders.

[Jive3D]

Oh boy do I want one of these!!

Anyone notice that Dr. Wily seems to be giving the peace sign with his hand on the right side of the front of the box art?

[s1lence]

Yeah, thats what I figured, about 2 weeks or so. Once again good find.

[anagrama]

Ah crap, guess I'd better spring for one of these now the word is out
I was planning on seeing if the non-BIN ones finished below $50 or not first, but better act while I can...

[-hellvin-]

Damn...went back to just BIN one and both are gone. They come up in my search but are bought....

[anagrama]

Heh, sorry man

[fishsandwich]

Damn...went back to just BIN one and both are gone. They come up in my search but are bought....

Holy crap! I was just there 20 minutes ago and there were 4 BIN's! I went to the bathroom to fart, then went to the snack machine, then went back to my PC and went to buy one on BIN... and they are all gone!

DAMMIT!

Guess I'll watch one of those on auction.

Crap-o.

[s1lence]

Its amazing how fast the word and demand for rarities works on this board.

[-hellvin-]

Yeah it sucks now. There's probably gonna be a much higher price on the 2 that are left. Guess I'll just skip out on it now. Guess that brings back that ol' saying:

"Ya snooze, ya lose."

Shoulda made up my mind quicker.

Mine wasn't a BIN and it went for $31. Keep watching..
