NFL Blitz 2000
Risk
Rakugaki Showtime
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4

PS3
PS Move navigation controller


Like with the Xbox 360, I patiently acquired the necessary things to have a PlayStation move from thrift stores. It took longer than I expected since I figure I'd see the controllers and camera you need at thrift stores about as often as a Xbox Kinect, but that ended up not being the case.

With this being my last month in Japan, I went to some of my favorite retro spots for possible my last time. My goal was to find some uncommon/rare GB/GBA tiles I have been on the hunt for and to flesh out my GC collection (I only had like 6 or so titles since I only decided to start collecting Japanese GC like a few months ago).

Found 1 GBA game and picked up a good selection of GC games for a good price. Games I picked up were:
1. Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (GBA)
2. Luigi's Mansion (GC)
2. Metroid Prime (GC)
3. Pikmin (GC)
4. Pikmin 2 (GC)
5. Battalion Wars (GC)
6. Starfox Assault (GC)
7. FZero GX (GC)
8. Tales of Symphonia (GC)


Still a couple of GC games I really would love to pick up before leaving. Namely Super Mario Sunshine, Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Zelda Twilight Princess, Resident Evil and Resident Evil IV. I think I would be super happy with my GC collection like that if I pick these titles up. At least until I am able to come back to Japan and really start to flesh it out more. But right now I am not really sure what else I 100% want in my collection, because I just haven't played enough of the GC library.

PS4:
Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight

XBOX One:
DOOM (2016)

I think I might finish my XBOX One collection before my Switch collection, only 7 more games to go for that versus 9 more for my Switch.

*Edit* I miscounted, I need 11 more for XBOX One.
