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.
@LN78 Well, the normal Panzer Dragoon games were rail shooters, but Panzer Dragoon Saga is actually a JRPG. A very highly regarded and extremely hard-to-obtain one, at that.
"According to Underwood and Lucich, only 20,000 North American copies were produced in Saga’s initial run. After those sold out in two days, between 2,000 and 5,000 more were made. Then the tap turned off forever. Nulty recalls an “extremely small run” of roughly 1,000 copies being ordered in Europe."
A playable, complete physical localized copy is the gaming equivalent of a unicorn.
@johncalmc I bought a refurbed one back last year as I needed one with the pressure-sensitive buttons for MGS2. Think I got mine from a place called Back Market.
All this talk of expensive games is really making me regret not looking after my now incredibly scratched GameCube discs when I was a kid. So many games that could have paid for more important things! Skies of Arcadia Legends, Paper Mario TTYD, Pokemon XD, Fire Emblem Path of Radiance etc. Although apparently Flushed Away on the Cube is going for £65 so clearly the market is insane anyway 😂
