Console Fixer

I bring life back to old retro gaming consoles. I am hoping to work my way up to repairing a Nintendo Switch and the OG Xbox One. My specialty is the NES.

Finally picked up this Legend of Zelda gem, the Phantom Hourglass. A direct sequel to Wind Waker and looking forward to some gameplay on my 2DS. It is hard to believe this game is almost 20 years old 😮. #phantomhourglass #legendofzelda #nintendo2ds #gamerlife

Spend time with my sons and watched Super Mario Galaxy, in 3D 😎. I enjoyed the direction of the movie and how they did a spin away from the Super Mario video games. Many references to the game and multiverse cross overs from other Nintendo franchise. Even an Easter Egg reference to Captain Marvel 🤔 on Rosalina’s fighting scene. #supermariogalaxy #nintendomovie #nintendo #marioandluigi

I picked up sealed copies of Halo TV series, for season 1 and 2. I enjoyed season 1 and loved the direction Paramount played its story. Will rewatch Halo season 1 on my CRT 📺.

Saw this Super NES display for sale, at one of the antique stores I visited today. They wanted $16,500 CAD and told me it was sold. The CRT TV had a burn in and the SNES was quite discoloured. Have not seen one of these displays in a long time 😮.

Recently, I have built up my old VHS and DVD collection, of classic 1990s and 2000s movie. Terminator is one of my all time favourite franchises, even after the mediocre movies that followed T2. #terminator2judgmentday #vhs #1990movie

Watched this gem on my old school CRT TV and VHS player. This movie The Golden Eye had the THX remastered. Sounded amazing on my Sony Trinitron. HINT: if you are playing THX digitally mastered tapes on VCR and hear the static on TV speaker, use the channel up / down buttons on the VCR, to adjust the static noise. Almost forgot about this old school feature. #thx #jamesbond #goldeneye

I managed to snag myself a loose Super Famicom version of Super Metroid. I played the original NES version back in the day but did not get the chance to pickup the SNES or the Super Famicom version. Love the 16 bit graphics, audio and playing this on an old CRT TV 📺. My eyes are sore now 🥺. #nintendo #supermetroid #samusaran #superfamicom

I picked up a hidden gem video game for my PS5, called Bye Sweet Carole. This game reminds me of Disney’s version of Alice in Wonderland animation, meets Clock Tower. The animation and the narrative is amazing, along with the platform puzzles. This game is also available for the Nintendo Switch. #hiddengem #byesweetcarole #ps5

Enjoying my gameplay of Ghost of Yotei, but very slow. It’s unlike Ghost of Tsushima gameplay. Currently on the quest to reveal the 2nd boss the Kitsune 🦊 (fox). Their bandits hide deep in the snow or large barrels 😮. I think the mastermind behind the Kitsune is the female samisen player, that plays Atsu’s song. There is also a flash back of young Atsu, watching her mother die 😢, at the hands of the Kitsune (with the 🦊 mask).

Picked up this gem today 👉🏻 Simpsons: Hit and Run for the OG Xbox. I do own the GameCube version, as well. I popped it inside my Xbox360 and backwards compatible and works perfectly fine. I missed kicking Marge 😂. The seller was a young kid, who could not play this game on his Xbox One. I explained that it would not be backwards compatible. #xbox #xbox360 #simpsonshitandrun #homer #marge #microsoftgames

So far, I have put in 24 hours of Ghost of Yotei gameplay. Love the photo capture , with amazing graphics. It’s great to see the setting of this game, from my childhood days in Hokkaido 🇯🇵. #ghostofyōtei #ps5 #suckerpunch #psshare #psblog #hokkaido #mountyotei #yoteisan

Today, I picked up Ghost of Yotei #ghostofyōtei . So far liking the game. It’s a little slow at first but love the setting of this game, as is near my childhood hometown in Hokkaido Japan (near Mount Yotei 😊). I will update my gameplay on my YouTube channel.

I recently refurbished a Japanese Nintendo N64. This was a system I purchased several years ago, to add to my collection. However, due to the lack of space, I had to sell it. Now, home to a retro gamer / collector like myself.

My weekend pickup from a local show called Mewtopia. Mainly Pokemon themed trade show and I managed to find a video game vendor. I purchased the New Super Mario Bros U and Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon. Both copies sealed 😁. I plan to open Luigi’s Mansion and play it on my 2DS. Happy with the purchase.
