I'll have to look for that Gekido. As for Cooking Mama, I ordered it from Play-Asia a month ago (for WAY more than I should have) and still haven't seen anything. Funny enough, they sent me an email saying "Hey you ordered this, tell us what you think of it!" Uhhhhh....

XBone
Found some clearance games at my local Meijers.
- NBA 2K16
- PES 2016: Pro Evolution Soccer

I've seen Sea of Thieves marked down at the Meijer stores around here but always like $35-40. Trying to pay less than that.

PS4
- War Theatre
- Old Man's Journey

Not familiar with the EU titles, I'll have to look those up.

VITA
- The Deer God
- Bit Dungeon +
- Foxyland Collection - Limited Edition

Nice EU Vita gets. I noticed they got a lot more releases there because of the requirement there be a physical release.

PS1
I finally got the last game I needed for a complete Playstation One US collection.

Nice title for the last game. Now do US PS2 next!

Is it for certain this is Euro exclusive? There's a NA listing with a barcode. I thought I had this but it still shows on my Wishlist.

I hear you on this, I'm soooo ready to go scouring into some Half Price Books.

You mentioned Meijer so you are in/near Michigan or a state nearby? I thought you were out in California or somewhere out West.

Mostly sending offers to sellers online and I bought a bunch of cheap Japanese games that are stuck in Japan. 

Japan Post isn't shipping internationally since mid April. It happened to a lot of people. To get something out of Japan you need to use DHL now. I bought one thing the day before the "embargo" and paid for EMS, but the seller shipped with DHL instead.

Sega Dreamcast
Coaster Works

[ignition365]

stuff

A lot of those EU stuff are Red Art Games releases, they go on sale frequently and can be obtained through PA and VGP as well as direct from RAG.

I've been buying from Amazon JP for JP stuff because they ship everything DHL and pretty fast too.  Hoping to have some stuff to share mid next week.

[doafan]

At the beginning of this month have purchased the digital version of The Legend of Legacy for my 3DS, can't believe that didn't hear anything from this game before (the reviews of this game are as awful as I can immagine) plus purchased at a First Cash in my city the cartridge of Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition for only $ 4.25 Dollars which it was a good deal since at Mercado Libre they are asiking for at least 20 bucks just for the cartridge plus shipping, also managed to get another five Ammibo Cards, this time I got Opal, Cole, Diana, Gayle and Keaton for a very reasonable price cause the price of some of these cards are nuts right now

Q1 - From what I gathered the few copies of Cooking Mama on Switch where only obtainable from a few store and online shops. Most people got it from Target stores from what I hear. I paid about $10 over the release price, which isn't bad and it was free shipping.

Q2 - This was a game I wanted to pay under $15, so when I saw it on clearance for $12.50 I grabbed it.

Q3 - Red Art Games, They had a huge sale and I picked out a few.

Q4 - Two are Red Art Games, last two are Play-Asia exclusives.

Q5 - I have 1423 out of the 1800 or so released in the USA 
       I have been buying more PS2 titles I'm missing the last few years, My local used game store runs a sale of B5G5 free and I try and
       knock out a lot of scrap titles during those sales. Usually I start finishing a collection once I see I have a low amount left to get for
       that system. Maybe I'll do N64. I think there's only one hard to get game I need and I'm only missing 24 games for a complete. 

Q6 - Far as I can find it was only released in the Europe, It works fine on a US SMS sense the system is region free.

Q7 - Yes, I live near the Chicago area.

Most where bought right at the beginning of the crisis. Just gotta hope they get to me once this is all over.

Nice job on completing the set.  I'm down to 1 more ps1 game for the set- Madden 2004. Just completed a trade with a guy this week on fb and should finally complete my set too by the end of this week!

Zelda Breath of the Wild Switch Controller, got it really cheap from a seller selling off his Switch Collection. I necessarily don't buy Controller editions, but it was a good deal, brand new, plus I liked the look of the controller. Nice Texture too, Feels good in the hands.

I don't even have a switch and I'd like that, lol. Beautiful controller!

I was surprised the seller was selling it for so cheap, got it for $8. Said he needed some extra cash on short notice, so he's selling his switch stuff. He said he used it twice, probably the reason why it still looks brand new

I probably won't use it myself since I mainly play my Switch as a handheld. Nice controller to add to the collection though.

[Cartagia]

I had one of those Zelda controllers.  The left thumbstick went kaput very fast.  It's a known problem with that company.  They did send me a replacement, however, no hassle.  Though I had the receipt.

SWITCH

- Gekido Kintaro's Revenge

Lol gekido the gba game on switch.

what did they do to it. Only an upscale or also added content

Kinda interesting to see that the more niche gba games are getting switch ports.

Tried it out and it works fine. Good to know the analog sticks are not durable, better not to use it then, heh. Thanks for the heads up

I have the Digital Version and they actually did quite a lot to the Switch Version, was impressive. I even went back to my GBA version to see the differences.

They upscale and added a wide screen option. Re-Did all the cutscenes with cleaner animations, so basically animate whole thing out again. Plus gave the entire game new music, similar to the original score but re-done so it doesn't sound like a GBA game. Basic combat of the game is the same, which was pretty good to begin with imo.

They gave the options to revert back to the original if you want to, but the new additions are nice. Was impressed actually for a title so cheap.
