Just video games and Japan things. And shameless self-promotion. You have been warned.

@_buchu Sorry to hear--I'm always worried one of my PS3s will die one me. One makes an annoying clicky noise that I don't remember happening a couple of years back...

[Jimmy Hapa @ImportGamingFTW]

At my parents' house I found the old Sega Saturn I bought from a friend when I was in the 8th grade. All my other disc-based systems here--PS2, GameCube, Xbox 360, Dreamcast--no longer function, but I can still play Panzer Dragoon, and in glorious RF output! Saturn won the war!

[Jimmy Hapa @ImportGamingFTW]

@Developer_n0 I'm thoroughly impressed, Saturns are the only Sega consoles I've never had problems with. The Saturn official RGB cables are a different story, however.

@camille_karel Segata Sanshiro smiles on us from the heavens.

[Jimmy Hapa @ImportGamingFTW]

@hikarinoei73304 Oh, for sure! The oval-shaped buttons look better, too...at least to me.

[Jimmy Hapa @ImportGamingFTW]

@hyper_hed Nice eye--yeah, it looks surprisingly great for RF on a flatscreen from 20 years ago...and I didn't even really notice much lag, either.

[Jimmy Hapa @ImportGamingFTW]

@codylagann1998 I enjoyed it years back!

@TheRetroMartin I'd love to get them restored--I don't want to toss them as they have sentimental value. I will always regret throwing away my original PS1...I must have played that thing for a thousand hours as a kid...

[Jimmy Hapa @ImportGamingFTW]

@_nightopia_ Sega CDs are some of the most notorious. I've had faulty Mega Drives and some of the early Sega stuff, Game Gears...

[Jimmy Hapa @ImportGamingFTW]

@_nightopia_ @_buchu Yeah, I've had issues with PS2s (my two in Japan currently are in complete working order, thankfully). This is my first dead GameCube, though! I know there tends to be issues with the laser or drive belt, however.

[Jimmy Hapa @ImportGamingFTW]

@Rush_nerd I think it's just them not being used in years. I'm pretty sure the lasers in them died. The PS2 will work intermittently, but fails often and takes forever to load.

[Jimmy Hapa @ImportGamingFTW]

@Chrisw801 I've only had good luck with Saturns, surprisingly.

[Jimmy Hapa @ImportGamingFTW]

@ShiftHappensPod @_buchu Note to self: Genesis and N64 are impervious to dog pee...however, DO NOT try to test this.

[Jimmy Hapa @ImportGamingFTW]

@A1ex85_ It's a keeper!

[Jimmy Hapa @ImportGamingFTW]

@N1Warhead I think it's mostly dying lasers. I would love to try to fix up some of them, as they are my childhood (and early adulthood in the case of the Xbox 360) consoles. Good to hear you got your OG Xbox fixed, mine died out when I was in university.

[Jimmy Hapa @ImportGamingFTW]

@bloopledebleep1 Exactly why I don't trust that fake news, "lamestream media." We all know the planet Saturn is made of Segata Sanshiro's dreams...and it's only gaseous when his dreams include eating Mexican food!

[Jimmy Hapa @ImportGamingFTW]

@UpaUp4UpaUp4 I actually purchased a Fenrir a few months ago on Yahoo Auctions! It's amazing.

[Jimmy Hapa @ImportGamingFTW]

@medic_wheat Dang, I'll have to check things out from my end, however since I already purchased it from my account years ago, I'm pretty sure I still have the option to download. Well, looks like you might just have to download the ROM if you haven't already.

[Jimmy Hapa @ImportGamingFTW]

@famigamers Thanks, man! If there's anything you're interested in, let me know!

[Jimmy Hapa @ImportGamingFTW]

Thanks again to everyone who has reached out/purchased the games & other things I put up for sale recently. Just a heads up, they'll only be available for about another week--after that, all or most will go to a local game store. LMK if you want anything!
