Worst Gaming Related Thing You Ever Bought

I'd say the worst thing I bought was the 3DS on launch day. It didn't even take too long for the price to drop 80 bucks.

I gotta say though... I'm pretty jealous of those ambassador games.

Yipee to twenty games I've already played?

Yeah, they're nice and all, but I have a DSTWO that could play them. So I didn't really get anything out of the ambassador thing.

I mean, I agree, it's still doesn't really make up for the $80 price drop. But I'm all for having as many handheld games on one console as possible (especially those GBA games). Some of them I've never even played. I really hope Nintendo gets on the ball with GBA VC and more GB/GBC VC.

With those frame rate issues and compatibility? I'll take ambassador over a supercard any day. but that's just me. (I own a SCDS2, btw).

I prefer just having the $80. IF you know what to do that would get one night of sex, drugs and rock n roll.

Ds lite. Dsi came out a month after I got it.
That, and the psp camera. Hardly ever used that crap.

I wish I had those ambassador games too. Even though I could use NesDS, the 3DS have better screen resolution for playing nes games. And the gba games look really big in the 3DS screen because of the aspect ratio.

Yeah. Plus $80 is already almost what I spent on grabbing a backlit GBA SP and copy of Yoshi's Island GBA not long ago ($40 for the SP, $25 for Yoshi's Island).

BTW, the only reason I didn't start playing mega man (never played it before) is because I'm waiting for these games to be released in the eshop.

Pro tip: The 4 Mega Man Zero games are available as a collection on one DS cart. I suggest grabbing them. They basically combine the gameplay style of Mega Man X with the extreme difficulty that earlier titles had (though they're still nowhere near as hard as the classic series).

Also, Mega Man ZX and ZX Advent on the DS are worth checking out (they're sort of spiritual successors to the Zero series).

Before I bought the 2 official Gamecube controllers I have now, we bought a number of Gamecube controllers which were all broken as hell. The first one came in the mail with a completely smashed analog stick and it didn't play at all. The second was a replica and had a very loose and imprecise analog. The third and fourth were GameStop controllers I bought on my trip to Denmark, the C-Stick on the first broke for absolutely no reason whatsoever and the A button on the second is so insensitive that you had to thrust your finger on it.

The official ones felt like a breath of fresh air.

Never buy fake GC controllers, you can buy an original one and will last years, with the same money, you will buy 5 fake ones that will last a day each one (Not joking, once i bought a fake controller and it lasted a day. 1 miserable day. Fake controllers cant hand Melee xDD)
