Well, after my 5-day absence from the net, I actually LEFT the house, and went to Walmart.
Of course, I checked for the new SA Series 2 Action Figures (resaurus) but what I found instead was strangely odd. Walmart is now carrying an assortment of Sonic the Hedgehog bath supplies. Or so, I’m assuming. What I found was a small little water game, with Sonic on it. On reading the back, it said “Look for more Sonic Bath Supplies brought to you by -someoffbrandcompany-“… It was one of those cheesy little “press the buttons to make the rings land on the posts” games, and the top opened up (I think) for the soap or whatever.
Another thing I found, which striked me as odd, is the latest Tiger Electronic’s gimick games, entitled “Tiger Arcade”. They feature those cool little low-res dot matrix screens like seen in the old Tiger 99x games. Walmart had only Hydro Thunder, and Q-bert for now, but on the back packaging, one of the games listed — Sonic Adventure. Now, most of the other games WERE Arcade games at one time or another, except Sonic Adventure. No matter, it’s still on my Holiday Wishlist. 🙂
For now, I haven’t seen these at any other store. Oddly enough, at my local K-Mart, anything even resembling a Dreamcast or periphiral for it has vanished — save for one small little memory card. No games, no systems, no nothing. Although, Hap-hazardly stuffed into the games case was a literal MOUNTAIN of PS2 games and PS1 games. So many infact, that if one were to open the display case, they’d spill out onto the floor.
Well, that’s it from me. Later guys.
