I recently got a white Sega Saturn and some games, including Bomberman, Panzer Dragoon, and Grandia, all of which are quite fun from what I've played of them so far. I like the controller's buttons' satisfying click, too, though it's a bit too easy to tap a shoulder button by accident.
Something weird about Grandia is that it plays FMVs in 480i mode, despite the actual video still being at half-resolution. Not sure why they wouldn't just keep outputting 240p like other games. On the subject of Saturn FMVs, to my eyes they're usually even more compressed and noisy than PS1 FMVs, but they often play back at a noticeably higher framerate than I've seen from any PS1 title. Neat tradeoff.

Yesterday I had these games arrive. DS complete, GBA all cart only. Dragon Quest IV Dragon Quest V Dragon Quest IX Castlevania Circle of the Moon Castlevania Double Pack Donkey Kong Country 3 Final Fantasy 1&2 Dawn of Souls Final Fantasy 4 Advance Super Mario Advance 2 Super Mario Advance 3 Super Mario Advance 4 Really enjoying DQIV. Got a little over an hour in so far. Unfortunately I can't get DK3 to work. Some of the other GBA carts required cleaning but ultimately worked. This one I cleaned a few times and it's freezing right after the Gameboy logo comes up every time. Tried on 4 systems.

My current 13 SNES games (mostly all complete) tag at 2781.04 on pricecharting which is an absurd average. One that I am fine with cart only is Super Mario World. That has to be one of the bigger gaps percentage wise. It's something I would have needed to grab pre-2019 but I actually wasn't super into SNES for a long time. I'd just kind of buy stuff when I felt like playing it and then sell it to recoup (directed at no one just cutting it off since people love to bring it up but spare me emulation talk). I ended up selling off almost all my ps4 games and just buying them digitally on pc so I'm taking things in a direction I enjoy more. Right now I'm focusing on DS, this was just a great deal all around.

It was cheap, considering it's a limited edition. $28 before shipping. Classic Japanese sellers too that both listed as damaged/dirty. While the FF one had a couple marks on the shell itself, the screens were in immaculate condition and everything was in perfect working order on both. There was another I wanted to get but it was bid up to 40000 yen. My max on that was 25000. Another of the same unit has come up and I will bid but I do not expect to win. I paid more recently (compared to the two I won) for US DSis that ended up being in horrid condition. Had to get refunds. Ended up combining both to make one acceptable working system... By the end I was $30 in with a working DSi but it wasn't worth the headache. I like most of the SaGa games but couldn't get into the first Frontier.
