  The Master System

  I'm not one to dig through other people's trash but when a man throws away a precfectly fine working Master System and eight games then my inner garbage collecting hobo unleashes himself. Not only that, but this guy had also thrown away three Famicom games, but sadly, no Famicom.

  

  Here the list of all the crap I found:

  Master System Console

  Sega AC Adapter

  After Burner

  Astro Warrior

  Space Harrier 3D

  Shinobi

  Altered Beast

  Hang On/Safari Hunt

  Thunder Blade

  Rambo

  Pro Yakyuu Famista (Famicom)

  B-Wings (Famicom)

  Twin Bee (Famicom)

  Also got the SMS equivelent of NES'Zapper for Safari Hunt and two Master System controllers. No 3D glasses though, so I can't really play Space Harrier 3D. RF adapter was also missing (which may have been why it was thrown away) but the NES adapter works just fine for it.

  As they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure. Now, If only I could find a Famicom somewhere...

  E3 2009 Predictions

  Nintendo failed hard last year and people assume that it'll always be that way. In general, Nintendo almost always impress at E3 and I think they know that they have to come out strong this year. Anyway, I think everyone's going to have a big show this year. E3 is back in full force and everyone's going to try to put their best foot forward. Here are my predictions:

  1. Nintendo

  -new entry for Zelda or Zelda calibur franchise

  -DSiWare news/"Virtual Handheld"

  -Whatever Retro Studios is working on.

  -new entries for 2nd tier franchises like F-Zero, Starfox, Pikmin, etc..

  -new "Wii _____" title.

  -Big news regarding Pokemon Gold/Silver remakes and other future DS games (DSi related).

  -several new franchises geared toward "casuals" and non gamers (new non-game apps for Wii, as well)

  -one new franchise geared toward "the core."

  -More New Play Control remakes

  -Unlikely: Mario Galaxy 2

  _________________________________________

  2. Microsoft

  -Halo OTST

  -Update on Peter Jackson's Halo project.

  -More additions to the Xbox Dashboard

  -New big exclusive franchises from Microsoft and third parties.

  -"stealing" away another "PlayStation associated franchise"

  -Motion Controller along with casual games that it'll work with.

  -New Rare game (probably Killer Instinct)

  -Mass Effect 2 will be PC/Xbox only

  -Unlikley: New LionHead Game

  ______________________________________

  3. Sony

  -PSP Go!

  -God of War III footage

  -Team ICO game

  -Long dead Gran Turismo for PSP resurrected as PSP Go exclusive.

  -Gran Turismo 5

  -New Ratchet & Clank

  -Lost and Damned coming to PS3

  -small price drop for PS3 ($20-30)

  -Unlikely: Any talk of Home's "success."

  I'm not going to lie, I was quite liberal here but the more you predict the more you get right, right?
