Its not a lie that I really want to purchase a Wii U just to play Mario Maker but that's not possible at least not right now so decided to purchase some titles from the plumber that I can actually play, found a very nice copy of Mario Bros (http://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_Bros._%28game%29) for the NES with a shiny and complete label for only $ 12 bucks also a good copy of Dr. Mario (http://www.mariowiki.com/Dr._Mario_%28game%29) for only $ 6 dollars, decided to get a copy of this one for the GameBoy instead the one for the NES because of a review that I saw months ago from the Classic Game Room channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2V59D3vRtw), he totally got me with his comment: Its a great game on the go 8)

Found these at a local game store today. Xenoblade X guide was from Best Buy.

Quality pick-ups! :) I really loved The World Ends With You and Bravely Default (which reminds me I still have to actually finish it :( )
I finally received Skylanders: Giants (3DS), Skylanders: Trap Team (PS4) and Uncharted: Golden Abyss (Vita) that I bought on clearance! Along with a bunch of PS Vita accessories that were $1 each, so I bought yet one more game card case, a carrying pouch, and stocked up on screen protectors. Oh, and a Mewtwo amiibo that I got only to reach the "free shipping" mark... :-X

Yeaaaasssss Fat Princess Adventures is finally out! It had a super-stealth release yesterday, I'm glad I happened to stumble on a tweet that linked to a page that I had to actually read through and eventually see "Out now!", then searched the Playstation Store (because of course, it isn't on their featured "New releases" / Playstation Experience games) to have a confirmation that YES, it's out!
tl;dr Fat Princess Adventures aww yiss.

Well I splurged a little today, I couldn't help it. I picked up a second PS4. Also took advantage of some sales.
Picked up a couple of the Super Mario Bros. Hot Wheels cars.
PS4 I have the R2-D2 Xbox 360 system so I had to get this. - Darth Vader PS4 with Star Wars Battlefront - Deluxe Edition - Arcania - The Book of Unwritten Tales 2
XBone - Murdered: Soul Suspect - The Jackbox Party Pack - Back to the Future the Game - Resident Evil Revelations 2 - Dark Souls II
3DS Saw this at a Five Dollar store, it was a repackage and thought it was interesting. Comes with everything but the 3 figures. - Disney Infinity
gf78 nice infamous pickup. I have the Hero edition as well. The statue and backpack were very well done.
Thanks. I found it complete in the box for $26. The items aside from the game were unused and I only assume the game was used because it wasn't wrapped in cellophane. It looks perfect. The backpack is actually really nice, better than I was expecting. I bought the set purely for the statue of Cole, but was pleasantly surprised by the mini comic and the backpack, especially with the Sly Cooper patch sewn on.

Cyber Monday I got a used copy of Shovel Knight 3DS CIB for $18 on Amazon Warehouse. Didn't know that it had a digital code for the soundtrack at the time but the code was unused so everything worked out. I think it's "Name your Price" on Bandcamp anyway but still.

Still wondering why the hell we didn't had a release of this one at the 360, at least there is gonna be a version with the Battletoads for the Xbox One or maybe it's already been released but the problem (at least for me) is that I still don't have this console :'(

^ I never knew that got a physical release. I have it digitally downloaded on my Wii U.
Unfortunately the Xbox One retail copy got cancelled :( Otherwise it is available for PS4, Wii U, and 3DS. Each is supposed to have version-exclusive content in case that's of any interest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shovel_Knight#Version-exclusive_features) and the retail copies have a beautiful full-color manual. In case you are interested in the physical version, too!

Yeah...I wasn't complaining! I got it at a store in Chesterfield, MO (St. Louis area) called V-Stock. I also picked up Gran Turismo 5 Collector's Edition with the book, certificate, model car and keychain for $28. It's also in fantastic condition. My nephew got the Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Collector's Edition for the PS3 with the doctor jack-in-the-box for $27 complete. It was a good day all around.
And since you were asking, I received my Gold Taco Bell PS4 last night! Here's a few pics I snapped.

I bought my Metroid Trilogy on clearance from Best Buy years ago for $5, steelbook and all.
It's one of those games that didn't have a second printing because it didn't sell well enough (most compilation games are that way), so stores start throwing them out at some point (that's how I got my pikmin 2 (wii) for $5 as well). But now that it's not available it's in demand.
I really wish NoA had released the Wii version of Chibi Robo in america. :(

Actually, Metroid Prime Trilogy did have a second printing. It comes in a standard white DVD-style case with no bonus booklet. I see that one pop up quite frequently at my local GameStop.

Completely understandable. Nintendo also re-released other games like Xenoblade Chronicles. The reprint version doesn't come with an instruction manual.

They did reprint it, but they sell it as "used" so that they can ask for a higher price, which defeats the purpose imo :-\ sure there are more copies, but it still isn't more affordable.

They did the same thing with Super Mario All Stars for the Wii, with the second print being the game in a regular dvd case, and it still costs $60.

Even before the end of the year am still looking for some stuff at Mercado Libre where I saw an strategy guide of Shadow of the Colossus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_of_the_Colossus) in a very good condition for only $ 5.00 bucks, decided to add it into my collection cause I need to know how to access the Secret Garden, already know that it's a lot easier just to see a video at Youtube but am old school so am just following my protocol also the seller offered me a Genesis controller for just one dollar because he sold the console and forgot to put it at the package, guess that will have to search for an adapter to use it with an emulator or look if somebody knows how to use it with a Dreamcast because right now don't have any plans to add the console into my collection ;D

Just installed Fast Racing Neo (http://vgcollect.com/item/91912) for Wii U. I've been itching for a new F-Zero-like game since... 2003? It's definitely worth checking out if you like that style. It's by Shin'en so the visuals and music are pretty good too. I know I'm going to be playing this one for a while.

They did the same thing with Super Mario All Stars for the Wii, with the second print being the game in a regular dvd case, and it still costs $60.
Yep, forgot about that one. But was it $60? I distinctly remember the All Stars Collection being $50 new when it came out. ???
It was $50 w/ the LE first printing, but all of those sold out. About a year after, I noticed that there was a second batch that I started to see at Gamestop that didn't have the outer box or extra music cd/ history book, but the price tag jumped to $60.

Pretty much just modern pick-ups this time around (enjoying my new HD TV). Most of these from 99Gamers.com.
(A hint for any users of this site: Any comics I post up, usually go pretty quickly.)
The XBox One game that's hard to see the title (it has that foil/shiny enhancement) is: Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor.

Vidmusc Excellent pickups by themselves. But a ng pocket and a tg16 pickup in the same month is amazing! :)
Doafan nice SoC guide pickup. I love that game.
I corrected my earlier mistake and got my hands on the Special Edition Xenoblade Chronicles X
(http://i64.tinypic.com/mn10kl.jpg)
Now I have to figure out what to do with the brand new and sealed regular edition that I still have.
I can't return it because it's tied to a different pre-order promotion and I'll loose those goodies (a set of limited Nintendo collectors pins not available via any other means).
I opened up a thread in the market place in case someone wants the game and would like to propose a trade: http://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,6712.new.html#new

I went to a shop and went through a stack of psp games. Bought Metal Gear Acid and Metal gear portable ops for next to nothing. They threw in a bunch of empty psp cases because they dont have the games... and they also made me take a skylanders and skylanders giants starter packs for free, no clue what to do with that, I dont know anyone with a ps3 and my ps3 doesnt work.
Lucky!

First Picture: Got these from my main haunt, they had 10 other colleco tabletops but were out of my price range.
Second and Third Picture: Went to the local pawn shops to see if they had any good games and stopped by one that was having a blow out sale on all ps2 and original xbox games for $0.50 a piece and found 2 in particular that I was looking for. Unfortunately because they were so cheap i just grabbed what i needed from the piles (lots of dups) and ended up with a few that did not end up working. the titles that do not work are crossed out and will likely be returned for different titles next week.
Pawn shop pickups:
.Hack Mutation CIB (ps2) $0.50 :D Sno Cross 2 CIB (ps2) $0.50 Counter strike CIB (xbox) $0.50 splinter cell Chaos theory CIB (xbox) $0.50 god of wwar 2 CIB (ps2) $0.50 the getaway C,D (ps2) $0.50 new legends D (blockbuster rental case)(xbox) $0.50 Eragon C,D (ps2) $0.50 motocross mania 3 CIB (ps2) $0.50 Jak and daxter C,D (ps2) $0.50 :D lethal skies CIB (ps2) $0.50 Red dead revolver C,D (ps2) $0.50 Puzzle challenge crosswords and more!

Yeah I can thank my loving GF for finding that. I was going to walk out because I was only in looking at games and systems in their locked case because I figured they would do their research on things that came in. She was the only reason I got the 23 games from that pawn shop. :P other than shelf wear on the case It looks BRAND NEW, no creases in the manual and no smudges on either disc (other than my own finger prints to see if it would play)
Whats even better is my disc only version of mutation when I sell it back to my the store I got it from will almost pay for all the 50 cent games (they usually pay 60-75% original price for games bought from them)

Not much so far this month. I spent about $1000 in and around Black Friday so money is tight atm.
Digital:
PS4: Bastion
Physical:
PS4: Guitar Hero Live
Wii U: Xenoblade Chronicles X
Guitar hero was a steal; a store here had it reduced to the equivalent of about $30; there were none available near me but lucky my brother lives in another part of the country so he offered to get it for me.

I will wait until it arrives before listing it in my collection as I don't want to jump the gun, then be disappointed if the seller is an idiot and it doesn't include the statue, art book, soundtrack, etc. Keeping my fingers crossed! :P

I wanted to keep my wallet closed this month (i spend a bit too much on gifts :-[ ) but you all know what happens when you pass next to a shop that can have a few games to sell, right ;) ?
I found a few books in a... shop that get what's left of other shop when they close or when they have to clear their stock and sell them at very low price (how you call that type of shop in english... a destocking shop ? a Clearance shop ?)... well anyway, i've found 3 Official Guides (GTA5, Assassin's Creed Rogue and Batman Arkham Knight), a artbook for Warhammer Mark of Chaos and 2 books on Dungeons & Dragons, the price for each book was 2,99€ and everything was still new.
In the same shop i've found a few games and DVD too, i start with the dvd with the Korean Drama Damo in two volumes (2,50 € each box) and the DVD Arietty (1,99€), and next the games with Syndicate (PC), Contrast Collector's Edition (PC), Trine 2 Complete Collection (PC), Guild Wars Platinum Edition (PC), Robotech Battlecry (XBox) and Epic Mickey 2 (Wii), all games was at 0,99€ each except for Epic Mickey 2 who was at 3,99€ (and that's not everything, i've found some accesory too, like a memory card (emerald) for the PS1 and a AC-DC adapter set for the Gameboy advance for 1,99€ each and like everything else still new and sealed, seriously i love that shop).
And to finish, of course a copy of Xenocross Limited Edition for 64€ (i think that the only game i've buy Day one in the whole year... well if i don't count the Kickstarter projects i've backed), the 5th Freedom Edition for Splinter Cell Blacklist found new for 9€ on a online shop, then in a garage-sale 3 gamecube games for 2€ each (Star Wars the Clone Wars, Star Wars Rogue Squadron III Rebel Strike and Metroid Prime 2 Echoes), the first two season of Battlestar Galactica for the same price, the Romdo Chronicles Edition for Ergo Proxy (the french collector's edition 8) ) for 5€, and to finish the game & watch Donkey Kong Jr (still like new) and a obscure one called Cook & Dog (i can't find anything on this one except that it was made in Hong-Kong and there is two french version of it, the one i have and another with the name translated in french "Chef et Chien") for 0,50€ each :o.

I've been buying quite a bit lately. Probably need to hold back but deals man. Deals.
Anyway.
Bought a Game Park GP32, which came with Dungeon & Guarder, Little Wizard, Astonishia Story R, and Her Knights. The GP32 games were loose though. Guy was also running a buy 3 get 10% off deal so I went ahead and added on Steel Diver for 3DS, and Iron Soldier for Atari Jaguar, which totaled to be $179 for everything (don't even have a Jaguar YET, but hoping to get one relatively soon. That and a 3DO). Also got Blue Angelo: Angels from the Shrine for GP32 complete for $35. Never see it on eBay and the fact that it completely ripped off DBZ art on the cover slightly interested me, and it looks semi-decent.
Also just got a membership for Best Buy's GCU along with a copy of Shovel Knight for the PS4 cuz I've held off on getting it for a while.
Also won a PS2 auction for $16. Contains Turok: Evolution, Twisted Metal: Black, Ultimate Board Game Collection, Virtua Fighter 4, Wave Rally, World Championship Poker, Rogue Galaxy, High Heat Baseball 2002, Guitar Hero II, and Top Angler. Rogue Galaxy is what really caught my eye though. On top of that won a Xbox auction for $11 containing the Doom 3 Collector's Edition, Aquaman (ew), Demon Stone, Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows, and X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse.
On top of that put an add out on Craigslist looking for games and gonna be picking up a very nice lot of Atari 2600 and Colecovision games for $225 that happens to be worth about $400.
So yeah. Been doing pretty well lately I'd think.

Made a trade for Parasite Eve (PSX), Resident Evil 2 (GCN), and Killer Instinct Gold (N64).
Made a trade for Run Saber (SNES) and Battletoads in Battlemaniacs (SNES).
Working on a trade for a few N64 games.
Picked up the Link and Scervo F4F statues from Gamestop because they were marked down to $30 and $50 respectively.
Traded a stack of crap NES games for Amiibo Festival game and KK Slider and Cyrus amiibos.
Bought some component cables for one of my xboxes. Now the wife and I can both play Steel Battalion at the same time. Now I just need to wire the house up for ethernet properly.
Bought Sum of All Fears for GCN. I find it interesting that the PS2 and PC versions of the title have cover art depicting Ben Affleck and Morgan Freeman, but from what it sounds like, the game is basically Rainbow Six. Whereas, the GCN version has cover art that looks like Counter Strike/Rainbow Six.
Knocked a good handful of games off of my wishlist. I think getting under 200 is too easy of a goal for next year. Though once I get most of my top ten knocked out, or once I run out of trade bait, I'll probably stop knocking stuff off the list.

Woo thanks bro, you rock. Yeah I had a span where I had to comb several Wamalarts in my area to find the ones I was missing. I dont know how interested you are in finishing the set but there are a few people on Ebay that sell some of these. Its usually the same issues but it could be some of the ones you dont have.

Your welcome. I got high-quality scans by downloading the digital versions of the new issues on my iPad, then screen-shotting them.
I've looked on eBay, but I can't bring myself to spend what they are asking for free magazines. I'll eventually find them. I have multiple copies of most of the issues I do have so there is always the option to trade down the road.

PlayStation VR 2015 Christmas Ornament and 20th Anniversary Greeting Card. Apparently, these were sent to PSVR developers as a gift from Sony. Somebody already listed one, I happened to see it. Had to have it and needless to say, it's on it's way courtesy of USPS.
PlayStation Experience 2015 "swag bag". It includes the bag, magazine, t-shirt, poster in tube, Killstrain lanyard, 20th Anniversary lanyard, Passport book, 12 cards with the card box, pencils, notepads, a Resident Evil pin and some more swag. Looking forward to receiving it!

Got the same feeling but let me tell you that after a couple of updates at the Ultimate version this one has changed its name to Last Round, I know it's not the same than the other one, graphics definitely will never be the same and a lot of the costumes from the X Box One are not compatible at the 360 but at least I'll be able to play with my beloved Honoka, one of my resolutions for this 2016 is to get this game and the new console but this will take some time ;)

Those Lego dimensions packs are insane expensive.

The model they've set up for that makes me feel better. Instead of a new game every few years, they're doing those level packs at $35. It not to bad. The boy had to choose between Disney Infinity and this year. I can't keep up with 3 games.

Bought Transformers Beast Wars Transmetals (N64), Resident Evil 2 (GCN), Donkey Kong Land 2 (GB), Chibi Robo (GCN), and Ren and Stimpy Buckaroos (SNES) from Amazon. They were all suspiciously 30% under retail, marked in good to very good condition, and some from brand new sellers.
Beast Wars came in yesterday, works and is in fairly good shape. Resident Evil 2 and Donkey Kong Land 2 come in the mail today, Resident Evil 2 is supposed to be complete and the picture for DKL2 looked in good shape. Ren and Stimpy said good condition, no tears or scatches, I don't think it is worth enough for someone to justify making a repro, but it was pretty cheap, so I'm concerned. Chibi-Robo had no pictures or description, but said Very Good condition, so hopefully it's CIB.

So an update on this. Ren and Stimpy said Like New condition for SNES. I just received it. It's a sticky cartridge, with a peeling label... and to top all of that off...
It's the NES version.

Received these in the mail today. Tenryu Genichiro no Pro Wrestling Revolution(which was released outside Japan as Hammerlock Wrestling) and Super FirePro III(Easy Type) for SFC!
Couple more to add into my Wrestling game collection. ;) (https://scontent.fsjc1-3.fna.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xlf1/v/t1.0-9/12369224_10203922284496484_1413809627664083913_n.jpg?oh=4d3fbe002f39158f636e918a147539fa&oe=5713951C)

I have really cut down on the amount of hunting i do for games in the wild. The main reason for this is because of the massive reseller/collector scene in my area and that all the thrift stores and flea markets have become attuned to game collecting being popular and have jacked their prices up accordingly. This still doesn't stop me for feeling the itch to go out and look for cheap games like it's 2011 all over again. And occasionally I get really lucky, like today!
These finds come from about four different places. None of the PS2 games were over $5(Silent Hill being the catch of the day at a whopping $1), and the retro Nintendo stuff was $4 each from a thrift. Gitaroo Man was bought at a game store across town for a little under Ebay, but it was worth it considering it's one of my favorites on the PS2.
I don't trust most marketplace sellers unless there's some photo or a very good description... Sorry to hear it.
I absolutely hate, hate hatehatehate! buying from Amazon marketplace!
I took a chance on the Ninja Gaiden 3 Collector's Edition for the PS3 for $26. I should have known better. But the seller had a 98% positive rating and the "blurb" (because that's all the description you usually get) said LIKE-NEW.
Well, it arrived. The box looked really good. I opened it up. Small bend in the art book that wasn't too bad. Pulled the box with the statue out. They were brand new, still tie-wrapped into the plastic.
So you ask, what is the problem? There's no friggin' game in the box!!!! >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( I contacted the seller and we agreed on a $14 refund which is what I paid to buy a separate copy of the game to complete the set. But it's just infuriating. Before I even bought it, I looked all over for a button, email address...ANYTHING that would let me contact the seller to ask about the item. Nada. It wasn't until after I bought & paid that Amazon gave me the option to contact the seller where they would answer me back directly.

I absolutely agree. It's difficult to contact a seller, and then when you do contact a seller, they never respond. The few times I've had a seller respond, their response is basically "Read the description of the product" or "We have so many products we can't possibly describe them all". It's your eff-ing job. I've even seen a few with pictures where the description explicitly says "Photos do not represent the product you will receive"... uh then why have the non-stock photos uploaded?
I was gifted a fairly sizable Amazon gift card. So I'm trying to knock things off my wishlist with that money on games that are a decent price on amazon.
Seller told me to return it and he would refund me in full. As soon as I'm refunded I'm leaving 1 star feedback, not that that ever does anything. The few times I've attempted to leave negative or low feedback anywhere it generally gets over turned for some bs.

Yesterday my PlayStation VR 2015 Christmas Ornament and card arrived! The ornament is pretty heavy and is a replica of the VR headset. Above it is a snowflake with 2015 on it. It comes in a blue gift box with the PlayStation logo on the top. The card is really, really nice. It's a 3-way gatefold. The front has the "PlayStation 20th Anniversary" logo in the center, surrounded by portraits of various characters through PlayStation history. The inside has a rolling timeline with pics and info from important dates in PlayStation history. The back of the card and the envelope it comes in have cute abominable snowmen on them and snowflakes.
I'll post pics when I get the chance.

Yep. It sucks. I'm much more of an eBayer because I can look at the listings, pics, etc. I talked about it awhile back in another thread, but I always looks for sellers that have high ratings, post pictures and a fairly thorough description. Out of thousands of transactions, I've only felt burned probably four or five times. And with eBay's policies, you get your money back.

Dude! Game & Watches in the wild? Wow. Chef and Dog??? I don't have that one. If you want to make a few euro and don't care to ship to the States, I'm very interested.
Edit: It's not a Game & Watch. I'm still interested though.
I'm sorry but that one will stay in my collection, DK Jr. was maybe like new but Cook & Dog is not in the same condition, it's scratched all over and the battery cover is missing, it's in a very sad state to sell it to someone (especially to another collector).
I found a few more games in a little flea market, Sly 3, Sonic Unleashed, Viewtiful Joe (1€ each), Actraiser 2 (5€) and Sword of Mana (7€). Also got a Link Cable (for PS1) and two Official Guides (Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow & Burnout 3 Takedown) for 1,99€ each in the same shop that i was talking the other day (so it's was still new and sealed 8) ) and in a thrift store i've got Killer Instinct (10,99€), Okami (16,99€) and Dynasty Warriors Advance (6,99€).

Picked up a few collector's editions on eBay.
Uncharted 3 Collector's Edition for PS3 (new/sealed) Killzone 3 Helghast Edition for PS3 (new/sealed)
Been eyeing a CE of Aliens Colonial Marines on Amazon for awhile. It's new and fulfilled by Amazon so it's safe. It's about $30. I know the game sucks, but that little statue is friggin' awesome! Decisions, decisions....
I'm also mulling over picking up the Tomb Raider collector's edition for the PS3. Hmmm....

Totally forgot to post my last purchase from this past Saturday 19th, saw the title Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_Rising:_Revengeance) at GameStop in a new condition for only $ 5 bucks where have to admit that am not a big fan of the Metal Gear series in fact the titles that I own from this franchise are only at my collection because a friend from the University told me to purchase them anyway and since this one doesn't have nothing to be part of the storyline decided to give it a try, already kicked the butt of two bosses and I do hope to finish it before the end of the year but right now am kinda busy eating all the tamales and buñuelos that I can ;D

Not canon to the series but definitely a great BTA like only Platinum Games can deliver. I had a really tough time to get the achievements on that game but that was definitely a blast to master it.

I really enjoyed the Order and Evil Within. I hope Sony gives Order a chance for a sequel. They spent so much time making it beautiful, gameplay took a back seat. It's still fun at least once to experience the story.

My pickups this week come with a poem...

Double Switch - Sega Saturn (Something old) Sunset Overdrive - Xbox One (Something new) Remember Me - PS3 (To replace the digital PS Plus freebie = Something borrowed) Ducktales 2 Manual = (Something Ducktales! A woooo oooooh!)
I paid more for the Ducktales 2 manual than all my other manuals so far combined. :P but now it makes my Ducktales 2 complete-ish.
I have to say complete-ish because technically the box is a Stone Age gamer bit box case:

Picked up some goodies, games that used to be on my wishlist, but I decided I didn't care enough, so I removed them and decided they would just be just like this, random finds for dirt cheap one day.
James Pond Codename: Robocod (GBA) Metal Gear Acid 2 (PSP) Blade II (Xbox) Dead Rising 2: Off the Record (360)
And I got Turrican game and manual in the mail (GB). I used to play this game a lot as a kid, but my cart is shot, so I finally went out and purchased another copy.

I had a bit of a surprise yesterday. I got a package in the mail that I have no idea who it was from other than the return label marked "Santa". I'd already got my Secret Santa gift. So, it was someone else. I also assumed it was someone from here, because it was video games from my wishlist.
In this pretty little box, I found several things from my wish list.
Fantasy Zone (SMS) Die Hard Arcade (Saturn) Infamous (PS3) Batman: Arkham Knight (PS4)
I'm beyond pumped.
Santa, I don't know who you are; but I will find you, and I will thank you.

Thanks, definitely will gonna use your video as a strategy but first am gonna try the Jetstream chapter, have heard that this one is a little bit ore tough also have read that the enemies are more aggressive, react faster, and have many of their animations altered or sped up to make them less vulnerable then I'll play the Blade Wolf chapter ;D
