Always glad to meet another Otocky fan :)<br /><br /><br />As for me parting with Otocky: I wouldn't expect that to happen anytime soon, if ever. That said, I've seen other CIB copies of the game pop up on eBay from time to time, so if you're desperate for a copy of your own you may want to keep an eye on that site for a while.thegaygamer.comhttp://www.thegaygamer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-82104347828977869812012-11-08T07:59:45.109-08:002012-11-08T07:59:45.109-08:00Yeah, I came across the Euro box art for Paper Mar...Yeah, I came across the Euro box art for Paper Mario: Sticker Star, too. It's actually grown on me quite a bit, but it sounds like it hasn't grown on you? <br /><br />I'm glad you like Otocky's cover and manual :) Have you ever played the game? If not, you should try it via emulation at some point. It's strange, but quite interesting and even fun.<br /><br />I haven't played Electroplankton much either. I'm glad that I got a copy of it, but there just isn't much for non-musicians/non-artists to do, is there?<br /><br />As for you and your Wii U: That's great! Are you getting about excited about it? I have to say, I'm starting to feel a bit sad that I decided to blow my birthday money on 3DS stuff rather than the Wii U. That's OK, though, as I'll get a Wii U sometime next year.<br /><br />In the meantime, though, I hope you enjoy yours. Let me know what you think about it after you've spent some time with it, will you?

Even if it was hard to get it in Germany.<br /><br />By the way I preordered the black Wii U some months ago and found out now that it's completely sold out everywhere!!!<br />I'm so lucky that I preordered it as soon as possible.<br />Melody (Lizzi)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13647395755828716415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-3520735364190663642012-11-07T12:23:30.518-08:002012-11-07T12:23:30.518-08:00Really, Tom?

Serio...Really, Tom? Well, then, my work is done :)<br /><br />Seriously, though, I've known about the game for years -- mainly because I'm a total nerd for anything related to the Famicom/NES -- and I've played it via emulation, but I've never seen it for sale on eBay. So, when I saw this rather pristine CIB copy of it a month or so, well, I couldn't pass it up.<br /><br />Anyway, you should give it a go via emulation at some point. It's a very interesting hybrid of a shooter and a music game.

I just couldn't pass this up after coming across it on eBay.<br /><br />Speaking of Bubble Bobble FDS: I vow to get it someday! I already have the disk itself, but I really want the pouch and manual, too :)<br /><br />Thanks for the warning about beating Otocky. That actually makes me excited, as I thought the game was pretty easy when I first played it long ago.
