Smash Apprentice
Hey guys,
So I'm in Shanghai for the whole summer, and I left my cube and controller at home because I thought that I wouldn't be able to use my NTSC stuff here in China (big mistake; apparently the TVs here can take either NTSC or PAL, which is pretty cool I guess, trying out PAL Smash could be a fun experience, but let's worry about getting Smash in the first place). Anyway I was wondering if there's any place in Shanghai where I could find a Gamecube, controllers, and Smash. Is it even possible? Not many people here seem to play any console games at all; seems to be all PC here, and the Wii games are all 5RMB (approx $0.80 USD) which makes me think they're all pirated. I haven't checked out any video game stores yet, but I'm not sure where to find one, or if it'll even have stuff as old as Gamecube. Anyone have any idea?
