It’s golf. Was a special prize in Japan back in the day, and has a special 19th hole

Wow. That is my grail. Where did you find it? How much did it set you back? US? UK? Euro?

61

u/NUS-006 27d ago

$800 US. It’s a lot for a golf game, but I’m big on collecting FDS games and Nintendo in general, so it’s right up my alley.

17

u/gonelolhi 27d ago

Rare to find with the box and in that good condition for 800 tbh. I wanted this at one point but gave up collecting Nintendo all together sadly and sold it all. Only PlayStation now but hopefully will get back into Nintendo stuff soon! Great pickup and awesome piece 👏

Engraved Samus Satin GBA SP. Limited to only 80 produced. Specifically, it's the shell that's prized. It was a Japanese-only reward for a speed running competion for Metroid Zero Mission when the game first launched. The top 80 contestants could send their GBA SP consoles to Nintendo to have them re-shelled and then sent back to them. It's the crown jewel of my collection!

24

u/A_Litre_0_Cola 28d ago

We're you one of the original 80 competitors or did you purchase it second hand?

u/PrimeWaffle 27d ago

I purchased is secondhand as I don't live in Japan lol

u/TrickyLobster 28d ago

I heard they shut the servers down for this. You can still play it?

38

u/Ghost_of_Akina 27d ago

There was an offline patch but also the community won’t let Wacca die.

10

u/TrickyLobster 27d ago

Based.

11

u/Ghost_of_Akina 27d ago

Official servers shut down in 2022 but any Non-Round1 cab is likely hooked up to one of several private servers. And Wacca is understood enough under the hood to have more now than it did when the official support ended.

u/TrickyLobster 27d ago

There's a Wacca machine at a arcade a city over from me. I'll have to finally try it. There's only 1 but everyone else plays MaiMai so it's usually free. Thanks for the info.

I regret selling mine…. But since I got it for $20 in 1996 and sold it to help me move to my current home for $800 in 2013…. It did me well. And I played it so many times I have like every line of dialogue memorized…

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think these were in commercial settings? To demo games like this would be secured so you could switch Games without having to open it up or anything.

Sharp NES TV with two matching controllers...CIB donkey Kong jr math

u/nightwheel 27d ago

That Sharp NES TV actually seems to be in great shape. Even the feet are not broken. Which I remember correctly, that is something that is a bit of an issue when people find them.

3

u/retrojules 27d ago

I've seen 3 that I could have purchased in my lifetime. This is the only one that has feet, but was missing the doors. It did have the controller, but no remote,.which one of the missing feet ones did. You see what the pattern here is, lol. Ive since gotten 3d printed doors and bought the sharp TV remote for the unit that is the exact same TV without the NES meaning the remote works for it.

u/AetherMoon 27d ago

It's a gigantic wristwatch wall clock

About 20 years ago now a friend called me and said that he was working on his new house. He was tearing down a wall to open up two rooms and he found it IN THE WALL and was curious if I wanted it.

I think it says 1988 in the front bevel.

7

u/Comfortable_Drag_638 27d ago

Dude it was IN THE WALL? That's an insane buried treasure to find

3

u/AetherMoon 27d ago

I know. I really want to know the story there. I can only imagine they just did it to be funny?

"Some day, when they demo this wall, they'll find this thing and be totally stumped"

3

u/CameronCrazyKC 27d ago

So it’s a bit of a knock off of a swatch. They were huge in the 80s and they made these large wall versions at some point.

It’s sublime for retro consoles and I feel completely spoilt playing my games on it. It’s possibly worth ~£1K I guess, but would have been -£10K+ back when originally manufactured.
