Probably Mega Man.  There was 9 of them on the NES weren't there? I can't think of anything else that significant on any other system.  Many series aren't even up that high in count.  The PS2 only had a couple Final Fantasy games.

Capcom isn't very culture sensitive as we've come to know them lol I heard in Resident Evil 4, the language they are speaking is completely wrong from what should've been spoken there.  Like it was latin america spanish over what would be more of what is spoken over on that side of the world towards Spain and Portugal since it was in some non-existent country.

Uh, what?

Those guys sounded like Spaniards to me, right down to the curse words.

I could be wrong, I had just heard that there was abit of an issue with the language, at least at the very start with the two police officers of RE4, where the spanish being spoken wasn't remotely the right one for the area.

There are friend codes you share and you can play with friends online that way.

I gave RE5 a chance, once I got used to the controls (for the most part) things went smoothly. I still have trouble when surrounded by multiple enemies, but now that the game actually taught me how to use CHRIS' STEROID PAWNCH attacks, I can actually save ammo. Why didn't this damn game teach me that sooner? The manual on Steam is two pages, one is a bio and the other is AN INSTALL GUIDE FOR THE DVD VERSION.

Oh yeah, there's this too:

(9:54:07 PM) Me: so I just got to a section with an airboat in RE5
(9:54:29 PM) Me: I'm shooting at black people in full stereotypical African tribal war gear
(9:54:57 PM) Me: and I go "... yeah those people that complained had good reason, goddamn"

I mean, it's explained in the game that they're acting like this because of the outbreak, so it makes people lose their mind and become very violent. It was still a very WTF moment.

Nice!

I'm really debating on doing the GBA games too. Still not sure yet, since I have like 70 DS cases in a box waiting for GBA conversion.

I would see that the DS cases would generally be easier to do than cassette ones, I just have easier access around me to grab cheap casette tapes than DS cases, so it works out fine that way.

Another batch done.  Just one more Mario game left and then I'll look towards a few more.  Also posted, while you may not notice, I printed out a fresh cover for Diddy Kong Racing on DS with a cover resource online.  It looks like it's not even different and works well for the one spare DS case I had.

I think my next pre-order is Metro 2033 and Last Light Redux on Steam.  If you already own the original versions on Steam, you get the overhaul versions for half price.  Pretty excited as Metro is a favorite series of mine.

Watched Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, but sadly it was not nearly as good as the directors, Stephen Chow, other works.  It has some moments of brilliance at the start, almost truly creepy and even scary like a horror movie for a moment or two, but then also has some that trademark humor, but it just falls apart because of a really bad story, contrived plot points, and then it just basically rehashes the same idea as before that Chow has done where the loser guys figures out the true potential, gets power, and wins, but it's amid this awfully written story with cheap CGI. 

Kung Fu Hustle had silly CGI, but it was handled far better there and I'd highly recommend that movie over this one.

They really look great.  I've been lazy getting to more of what I have, but I'll probably look at doing another batch, at least of my Mario related games here this week.

Seriously Flea, how can you find so many people willing to sell a current-gen Mario game for $3? You puzzle me each time!

Leg Work! 

@Flea - How many yard sales do you think you hit in a week?

I'd say about 40-50 a day on average, so 120-150 a week. Thursday - Saturday. More if I hit large neighborhood sales.
Some neighborhood sales have up to 90 sales in one area.   
Yes a lot of leg work, I'm usually exhausted by the end of the day.

I just don't see that kind of stuff down here at all! Man! That's crazy! If I knew where these garage sales were and they were easier to get to, I'd have no problem doing the leg work lol

Here's a picture I found for some of them.  Merlin has a hair beard, all of the women have little combs and hair, Robin Hood has a little fluffy tail, the Aristrocats cat has a fuzzy belly, they are kinda neat lol

Mario Kart 8 really lives up to the hype for me.  I haven't really played a Mario Kart game to any major degree since the Mario Kart 64 days so a lot has been added and changed over the years.  Just from that point of view, this game is amazing.  The tracks so far are all amazingly well done, no bad track that I've found yet and even some great new ones like Mount Wario which is one long track instead of one you lap around in.  Online play is really good too, though I did about two matches in that.

Lots of vehicle and customization options too.  You get a new vehicle item every 50 coins in the grand prix.  So far, it's just been a fantastic game and it looks amazing.  The next Mario game better look as good if not better than this lol

Woo! Mario Kart 8.  About to play my copy of it now.  I haven't' really played a Mario Kart game since Mario Kart 64 lol I think I played a little Mario Kart Double Dash once at a friends house, but that was mostly it.

I'm not like a huge toy collector, I have a few from TMNT, TF2, Halo, Pacific Rim and a few random others, just some personal interest stuff, but I came across these at the Salvation Army today for only 50 cents a piece and it hit me right in the nostalgia.  These are 1995 McDonalds Disney figures, in boxes that represent the VHS movie clamshells they released in.  I totally remembered having them and so did my sister.  These 4 are the only ones I'm keeping, the other 4 which are Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Pocahontas, and Snow White, are being kept by my sister who remembers having the Cinderella and Snow White ones.

It seemed like they put a little more effort into these things back then as I also remember the amazing Burger King Pokemon promotion too that I think was around that same time.
