@KratosMD: Nope. Europe never got the SNES version. They only got the GBA and PSONE release. I am not sure if it's on the Wii or Wii U in Europe. You can also play it other ways but, I can't discuss the ways here.

Got it on sale for $1, just like Lara Croft: GO & Castle of Illusion: Starring Mickey Mouse (both of which I've already completed).
I've only just started it, but I'm already hooked. It has the same quick to pick up puzzle gameplay as Lara Croft: GO, but I can already tell it has it's own unique elements (like multiple ways to complete a level). The board game like art direction looks cool, and I'm glad it lets me experience a series in a form that I find more appealing (I don't turn my nose up at Mature games, but I generally prefer less gory games).

@Rukiafan7: Wow nice loot there! I actually played all of them except trails of cold steel (that I probably would like, loved trails in the sky...). FF13-2 is very nice gameplay wise, the story is a terrible mess and Serah and Noel are very weak characters imho but the game still makes you love it with its battle system, music, monster capture etc. Skyward sword is a strange game...iit's like they wanted to change the zelda formula but they didn't...and you notice it. It tries to be different but ends up being the (awesome) post Ocarina zelda we know and love.
@Feena: Thanks, it's a shame that my pooptastic wi-fi constantly cuts out, because as a result I can't download the 22 0.8-1.5 GB patches for Gran Turismo 6 which means I'm stuck with the vanilla version of the game which is missing over 100 cars including awesome conceptual ones, several tracks and a ton of events, as well as features such as the track editor and online play...Cries Quietly In The Corner...
Wanted to try this out for awhile, and finally got the chance to download it. I'm not too far in yet, but it's tons of fun. It's awesome stringing toether combos with hundreds of hits (I think I even hit a 900 hit combo once), and trying out all the different characters.

I managed to buy a second hand PSP for under £15 with a couple of games. Mainly for my old console collection but also to play a few old games and UMD's (a few places near me are selling UMD movies for 50p) plus to let my daughter play on. She is wanting my Vita all the time and I thought she could put some cheap films and games.
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
@KratosMD those are good prices, I'm tempted by both games but I'm trying to hold off buying anything as my backlog is massive and it just isn't going down.
Zelda for Wii U,i didn't see the point in getting a Switch for just 1 game although i will get one sometime this year

Zelda BoTW...and I'm not impressed. First of all it doesn't feel like a Zelda game. The closest comparison I can make is Skyrim meets Zelda except Zelda BoTW is incredibly shallow compared to Skyrim. It's a decent game, but if this is the new gameplay formula of the series then Zelda is no longer a system seller for me, which makes it even harder for me to justify purchasing any of Nintendo's future hardware...
I got a Switch and BotW at launch. AMAZING system so far, and the game itself is easily the new standard for what open-world adventures should aspire to. Nintendo has outdone itself with this game, and it will be very hard to go back to past Zeldas after this.
Also nabbed Fast RMX, which I wasn't hugely fond of at first (controls don't feel as tight as F-Zero, but they're thankfully much less floaty than Wipeout). I don't care for the huge emphasis on boosting and the relative inability to take short-cuts. It does have some pretty neat courses, though, and I'm warming up to it as I become more comfortable with the controls (another thing I didn't really like about it at first). If nothing else, the game looks nice, especially on a TV in 1080p, and it has a crazy amount of content for a $20 budget racer.
Also recently downloaded Blaster Master Zero, which is actually a lot of fun, even if the writing is terrible (it's terrible in an old video game way, at least, so it has some level of charm to it).
Picked up Super Mario Run yesterday on my Samsung Galaxy Note. So far it's pretty fun and I am enjoying it, I just wish it didn't suck up so much of my battery which is one reason I don't play mobile games too often.

Going back to the wii I understand why it was just a fad, the motion controls are decent but the pointer is very bad. Any shooting games are a lesson in frustration and playing Mario Galaxy which is a great game is ruined by the pointer controls.
