  1. @COMPU73E Very nice! The price hikes in recent years are crazy and even Japanese Book-off's, Mandarake or Surugaya prices are already expensive for limited editions, they know what they have 🤯
    I eventually bought one from Amazon.jp while in Japan and had it delivered to our hotels front desk. My wife wasn't too thrilled when a notification popped up on the room TV that my Amazon order was ready for pickup 🙈 But I had to do what I had to do, totally worth it - got this beauty in almost mint condition and love it. My most played console right now since I rediscovered my love for the DS era!

  12. Naruto Path of the Ninja with Merrilee O’neil (Fear Coded)

    By the mid-2000s, Naruto had pulled off something most manga-to-anime properties never manage: it wasn’t just popular, it was everywhere, spinning off a small army of video games across nearly every system with a screen, like Naruto himself used Shadow Clone Jutsu on the entire games industry and nobody thought to stop him. Somewhere in that flood of Ninja Councils and Clash of Ninjas sits Naruto: Path of the Ninja, the entry that decided the best way to honor Kishimoto’s story wasn’t just punching (though there’s plenty of that too) but actually letting you live through the Land of Waves and the Chūnin Exams one turn-based battle at a time.

    Path of the Ninja debuted on the Game Boy Advance in Japan back in 2004, then took a leisurely three years to reach American shelves in 2007, arriving on the Nintendo DS instead, because by the time they got around to localizing it, the GBA already felt like last decade’s news. You pick from six familiar faces, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Shikamaru, Neji, and Rock Lee, pair them into formations for bonus combo attacks, and work through more than 90 jutsu, some of which you cast on the DS touchscreen by frantically scribbling a shape with the stylus, which is either a clever nod to hand seals or just a fun way to give yourself a cramp. The story runs all the way to the Chunin Exam invasion and a face-off with Shukaku, and if you’re wondering whether you can also fight Itachi as a secret bonus boss, the answer is: only if you own the Japanese version. The English release quietly deleted that fight but somehow forgot to scrub his name from the end credits, which is the video game equivalent of hiding a body and leaving the shovel leaning against the wall.

    Making another through the Play Comics dojo is Merrilee O’Neil of Fear Coded, last seen on the show trying to keep pace with the Flash. This time she’s trading super speed for shadow clones, hand seals, and a Konoha headband, so at least the running is a little more sustainable.

    So form your hand seals, grab your kunai pouch, and let’s find out if Path of the Ninja earned its headband as a worthy trip through early Naruto, or if it should’ve stayed back at the Academy with the rest of the genin.

    Learn such things as:

    • Isn’t the world today better, with games coming out worldwide at basically the same time?
    • How can you use a console’s gimmick to really lean into the gameplay?
    • Can a game stick to the established story a bit too well?
    • And so much more!

    You can find Merrilee being the main driver of the Fear Coded account on BlueSky @fearcodedpod.bsky.social on her podcast Fear Coded.

    If you want to hear Chris talk with Karrington Martin about the lessons we learned from children’s media and how crazy it is that we’re supposed to just forget about that now that we’re adults, then Sugar, Spite, and Everything is Fine is probably something you should check out.

  13. Older consoles just where built differently. Booted up my 3ds again (after well over a year of laying around): still full battery charge.

    My switch after like 5 minutes of being "off": deep-discharged and wont even show me any sign of life until I charge it for hours.

  14. Justice League Heroes with Gavin Mevius (The Q Division, The Mixed Reviews)

    Somewhere in the mid-2000s, a group of developers looked at the Justice League and said, “What if we made a game where all your favorite heroes team up… and then we just kinda vibed with that idea instead of sticking to any specific comic storyline?” Which kind of works actually because they got Dwayne McDuffie to write it but that’s not the point. So anyway, Justice League Heroes burst onto the scene for PS2, Xbox, PSP, and Nintendo DS like a Watchtower alarm that nobody remembers installing.

    This week on Play Comics, we grab our capes, charge up our vaguely canon-adjacent superpowers, and dive into a game that absolutely has Batman, Superman, and friends… ummm, friends are definitely there I promise and sometimes they have to be there because of contractual obligations. And sometimes even the best version of those friends if you’re lucky and the best version of that hero had been invented already.

    Joining the adventure is Gavin Mevius from The Mixed Reviews and The Q Division, bringing along just the right blend of insight, chaos, and “wait, was that ever a comic plot?” energy to help us make sense of it all.

    So get ready for teamwork, button mashing, and a Justice League game that is just kind of meh, especially considering the story that it had to work with.

    Learn such things as:

    • When you can have Justice League adventures without Batman or Superman
    • Why you don’t need a 100% comic plot line to have a good comic plot line.
    • What the world was like before micro transactions got involved with everything
    • And so much more!

    You can find Gavin on BlueSky @shhhitsgavin, Instagram @gavinmev, and of course on his podcasts The Mixed Reviews (a monthly film review show taking a deep dive into a subject, actor, director, or something else along those lines) and The Q Division (a monthly deep dive into James Bond).

    If you want to be a guest on the show please check out the Be a A Guest on the Show page and let me know what you’re interested in.

    The next episode is going to be Galactic Wrestling with Ultimate Muscle, so get your thoughts ready and over to me if you want to hear them in the show.
