@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!

Marvel Trading Card Game with Gen Moonen (“Fun” & Games)

Let’s just say it up front: turning a trading card game into a video game is a magic trick where the “trading” and the “card” both quietly slip out the back door, leaving you with a menu that goes “ding” when you win. And Marvel decided this was worth doing not once, but on two separate handhelds that weren’t even talking to each other, like a superhero team-up where nobody checked who else was showing up.

Somewhere, someone looked at the specific joy of slapping a foil Spider-Man card down on a table hard enough to rattle the juice boxes, and said: what if we replaced that with a stylus tap? What if deck-building, the sacred art of jamming eighty cards into a rubber band and hoping for the best, became a scroll menu instead? Visionary. Extremely quiet. Nobody’s little brother has ever stormed off in a rage over a scroll menu.

Dealing me in for this one is Gen Moonen, co-host of the “Fun” & Games Podcast alongside Matt Storm, a show built entirely around two people who genuinely, unapologetically love games, which honestly should be a requirement for every gaming podcast and somehow still isn’t.

So grab a deck, or a controller, or whatever the modern version of “shuffle and pray” is, and let’s find out if Marvel Trading Card Game is a genuinely good time, or a lesson in why some hobbies were never meant to leave the kitchen table.

Learn such things as:

• Is it as satisfying to play an amazing card in the game as it is to play that card in real life?
• Does it bother anyone that the winner of the fight is at least partly decided by random number generation?
• How is it even possible to get a story going when nobody can know what you’ll be able to do later in the game?
• And so much more!

You can find Gen on BlueSky @gnoisegenerator.bsky.social, on Instagram @gnoisegenerator, her podcast “Fun” & Games, and her own website GenMoonen.com.

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.

A big thanks to Adventures in Erylia and Once Upon a Geek for the promos today.

Nintendo DS Port of Super Mario 64 Released With Multiplayer Support

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.

@buru5 this is an alltime favourite of mine! Basically, space Suikoden, it even has some obscure Suikoden references. The combat is a bit off putting and I could win some early battles only because of a cheating strategy, but everything else was great. Plot was the most 80s SciFi anime you can get outside actual 80s SciFi anime! #InfiniteSpace #jrpg #NintendoDS

I'd forgotten how addictive playing #TetrisDS for the #NintendoDS could be. Definitely one of my favourite #Tetris versions.
Especially its soundtrack is great 👍 and I love that it comes with a built-in #BGM player; all #games should have such feature imho.
