I haven't finished Hotel Dusk, but those are both great games.

I wish that A Boy and his Blob did less hand-holding... but as an puzzle/platformer it's still solid and just a joy to watch/play. Even the action-based boss levels felt natural to me - although not everyone agrees about that point!

Elite Beat Agents: $4 in great condition
Golden Sun: Dark Dawn: $20 brand new

Got Skylanders PS3 for $14, and another 4 figurines for $4/character (A rock guy, a guy with a sword & shield, and two guys with wings).

My wife seems to like it a lot. I haven't played it yet, but it looks like it might be entertaining for the sake of trying to collect all the items in a given level, and i'm sure my wife will now obsessively look for new figurines to buy.

I bought Trauma Team about two or three weeks ago. It's pretty awesome. I completed the whole story and am working on getting my high scores.

Most recently I bought a CIB Mario Party, a new Ice Blue N64 controller, God Hand, Ico, and Splatterhouse for the 360.

You guys have much better purchasing habits than I.

This was yesterday's haul.

Got the EA Active bands on clearance for $8 for my wife who's recently started EA Active 2... which I bought for $10 on clearance.

Finally picked up Batman: Brave and the Bold for the Wii. Now to get the DS version.

Found a N64 power cable and A/V cables for $5 at a Goodwill. Hey, you never know.

Then, found this awesome Mary Kate and Ashley game. I know, I'm a sick man. At least, I'm sure that's what the old lady behind the counter at the Salvation Army store thought. Anywhoo, picked this up because it's an n-Space game.

(The $3 price didn't hurt either). Game was complete with the manual, health/warning guide and the warranty registration card. Played it for a bit last night... it's a Mario Party-esque game that really, really needs a "Speed up" option. This may or may not complete my n-Space collection for Nintendo Discs (Which consists of this and Geist for the GameCube and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, Hannah Montana: The Movie, TRON: Evolution: Battle Grids and TRON: Evolution: Battle Grids: Championship Edition: Battle for the Colons in the title for the Wii.). I'm trying to get clarification on the release of "Mary-Kate and Ashley's Crush Course" for the GameCube - n-Space's site lists it, but all I can find are PS2, PC and GBC versions of it for sale... and can't seem to find anywhere else that mentions a GameCube version. Aside from that, once my last two (I think) DS games I've ordered arrive in the mail, my n-Space/Nintendo collection will be complete - I discovered I was missing a few - I went by the Wikipedia page, which wasn't complete. After going through n-Space's website, I found out there were three titles I was missing, one I actually already had and had no clue n-Space was involved and the other two that I've ordered.

*edit* - Forgot to mention, picked up a regular Cynder the other day - finally snagged one... Yay!

Yes, a fellow Sweet 16 owner! My friends have always affectionately known it as Mary Kate & Ashley's Ride or Die

Preordered Mass Effect 3 a couple of week ago, and will be picking up the Last Story when I get home from my holidays. Time to see what all the fuss is about

Any relation to Ski or Die?

Goodwill run!

Grabbed a set of DK Bongos, even though I don't have any games to play them with.
Also found NHL 97 and Quarterback Attack for Saturn. Only $3 a piece, bringing my Saturn collection up to a total of 15, 16 if you count the demo disc.

UncleBob · « **Reply #210 on:** February 25, 2012, 01:20:59 AM »

You can never have too many DK Bongos.

jrlibrarian · « **Reply #211 on:** February 25, 2012, 06:45:21 PM »

Cocoto: Fishing Master for the ps2. That's right.
Also grabbed Armored Core 2.

I thought I'd established that pretty well already.

Got Rhythm Heaven Fever last night. Monkey Watch feels like it's the hardest one of the bunch, because I just can't seem to get the timing right throughout.

Just last night I caved in a MAJOR way and picked up a whole bunch of Wii Fitness games: Zumba Fitness 2, Active Life: Explorer w/ Mat, and Gold's Gym Cardio Workout. I blame my friend for accepting my offer to research Wii Fitness games she can buy for her sister.

Currently standing outside a library in freezing weather waiting for a Craigslist GameCube lot deal to go down. And I have a full NES setup in my backpack. This feels like the start of a bad joke.

jrlibrarian · « **Reply #218 on:** February 26, 2012, 04:19:55 PM »

Total price: $40

Pikmin 2
Baten Kaitos
Luigi's Mansion
Fire Emblem: PoR
Geist
SoulCaliber 2
Tales of Symphonia
Resident Evil 0, 2, 3, 4, and Code Veronica

Kairon · « **Reply #219 on:** February 26, 2012, 04:23:23 PM »

That is a pretty choice lineup!

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #220 on:** February 26, 2012, 04:26:58 PM »

That's a fantastic deal. Pikmin 2 alone would usually run you more than that.

jrlibrarian · « **Reply #221 on:** February 26, 2012, 04:33:06 PM »

I also dumped the half broken NES off at the local used game store and traded it for a CIB Aladdin for Genesis and a CIB Virtual On for Saturn.

I just replaced the 72-Pin Connector on both of my old NES systems. Bleached the crap out of the case on the one while it was apart to get that weird yellowed color out of the plastic. Worked out pretty well. I need to go through and clean all of the game cartridges sometime, then it's off to eBay with it all.

I need to find a broken-beyond-hope NES to gut. I want the case for a HTPC/emulator that I've been looking to build.

I considered selling it on eBay, but I just wanted it out of my room, and I almost always use my Retron to play cartridge games anyway.
