Just bought some more Wii games that I've been interested in for many years now, which are Boom Blox and Another Code: R - Journey Into Lost Memories, for €30 in total. I've always wanted to try out the Boom Blox games and a used copy came in today of the first title for only €10, so at that price I had to get it. Another Code is also a game that I've been interested in for such a long time and considering it was only €20, I had to get it as well. It's made by the same developer that did Hotel Dusk on the DS and Little King's Story on Wii. They went bankrupt in 2010, which is unfortunate because these are the kinds of unique experiences that I'm constantly looking for. On top of this, Another Code is on the Wii, which means a unique control scheme. So all in all, I'm very happy with these purchases and I'm so excited to play them!
Just bought Project Zero 2: Wii Edition and Pandora's Tower on Wii U, and Shin Megami Tensei IV on 3DS. I've had these games on my watchlist for such a long time but now that the eShops are coming to an end, I finally decided to buy them. Considering it's very hard to find a copy of Project Zero 2, much less a cheap copy, and that a physical copy of Pandora's Tower can go for €50, and I don't think I've ever seen a physical copy of Shin Megami Tensei IV on sale here, it was worth buying each of these games for €20.
Will be making even more purchases on the eShops from here on out. Definitely won't make the same mistake of missing out on a bunch of titles just like I did when Wii Shop Channel closed.
@Ralizah I'm happy that I can at least play one game from the Fatal Frame series lol. Besides the recent Wii U re-release and this game, it's fairly hard to experience this franchise.
Just bought Denpa Men 2 and 3, BoxBoxBoy and Bye-Bye BoxBoy, Dillon's Rolling Western: The Last Ranger, Pokémon Red and Gold, and Cave Story on 3DS. I think I've pretty much bought the majority of the games I want to get on 3DS now at least. Will be buying games on Wii U next!
@LtSarge While I'm happy to see Maiden of Black Water re-released on modern consoles, I'll confess I was somewhat disappointed we didn't get remasters of the PS2 trilogy first. And, of course, Fatal Frame 4 is inaccessible outside of Japan unless you emulate it and apply the English fan translation.

Just bought Golden Sun: The Lost Age, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Kirby Mass Attack and Pullblox World on Wii U. I've got a lot more games on my watchlist but I'll have to look up gameplay in order to see if they're worth buying. For example, I want to get Yoshi's Island DS but because the game uses both screens when traversing the levels, it might be hard to play the game on the Wii U Gamepad. I'm also interested in the Mario vs Donkey Kong games and I do own the DSi game but haven't played it, so I'll try it out and see if the DS titles are appealing to me.
I bought a Famicom Mini and a Super Famicom Mini last week via eBay from a international seller. $180 for both shipped w/sales tax. They're preowned, but I'll take the W because I was looking at over $300 for both in factory-sealed form.

@RogerRoger yeah cheers Rog, in fact I’m sure that it was a past comment from your good self about the Force Unleashed games that put them on my radar if I’m honest.
As for the Wolverine game, I’m gonna keep an eye out for it. Maybe I’ll get lucky in a local cex or something 🤞
Just paid a visit to my local cex and picked up some bargains. Captain America: Super Soldier, The Sabotuer, Skate 2… and best of all X-men Origins: Wolverine. Unbelievably, I got the latter for £12.99… which is so much cheaper than the second hand copies I saw on Amazon.
@LN78 yeah the uncaged version… so I guess that it includes the additional dlc or something right?
@Fragile I played a bit of The Saboteur back when it originally released. It seemed pretty good but just as I was getting into it I tried Just Cause 2 and played that constantly for months. Never ended up going back to The Saboteur but have been thinking that maybe I missed out on something ever since.
Just bought Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land and Kirby: Mouse Attack on Wii U. I'm continuing my streak of Wii U/3DS purchases and these are the last two that I've really wanted to buy. I have three more games on my watchlist but I'm not as sure if I want to buy them. I'll have to decide later on, but for now I feel pretty content with the purchases I've done so far on Wii U and 3DS.
@RogerRoger Yeah, I read about that too but I think that only applies to the US. Credit card support on 3DS and Wii U eShops has already ended a long time ago in Europe due to some new regulation and the only way to buy games is through Nintendo's website, which is how I've been buying my games. Either way, I think it's better to be safe and buy the games I want as soon as possible since you never know with Nintendo.
@LN78 Oh man I’m jealous! I’d kill to grab some of these older consoles while they’re still in decent condition as I know I’d look after them. I’ve been looking at a Dreamcast as I have a few games for it, which were too good a price to pass up at the time. Today I also learned Wipeout was released for the Saturn!
@LN78 Wow. That looks... VERY expensive. But very cool start to a new retro collection. I've never actually owned a Saturn, but have always wanted one, so I'm a little jelly.
What game you going for first? Is it Panzer Dragoon Saga?
Does anybody happen to have any top tips on where to get a PS3 controller from that isn't a chatty third party one and ideally doesn't set me back like forty quid? I assumed I'd be able to just gan on eBay and the Dualshock 3s would be flowing like wine and I'd get one for coppers, but half of them are knock offs - it's a minefield.
I still have my PS3 in my living room - insane, I know. And every now and again I think about going back and playing Deadly Premonition and all the other stranded PS3 games.
