Four me? Yes! ...terday I bought.

From the same forumite who bought a copy of Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition that had three RE4 game discs inside it, here’s my latest charity shop oddity:



Check out all the quality games that the previous owner put onto it as well!

Spoiler:

Looks like they were called Ross as well.

Brilliantly bizarre.

It was actually him, he's ran out of games to get in charity shops, that he's now ended up rebuying these old ones.

These arrived

Edit this also arrived

Assorted bollocks. Skyward Sword HD was just £20 on Amazon one random afternoon, so I picked it up. Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 was the same scenario, except only £9. Picross 3D: Round 2 was under a fiver new. That's one of the new Evercade cartridges too.

That's one of the sexiest "I bought"s yet, £20 is a great price for Skyward Sword HD, it honestly felt quite new on Switch and Picross 3D is a banger, I'm quite surprised it's not rare and expensive though.

Who was it who absolutely hated Picross 3D 1 here? I'm going to say Andy, more playing the numbers than because I know. Anyway, I agree with Smurf, that's quite the haul (and an Evercade cartridge).

I bought that itch.io bundle for Ukraine - I've just finished the Backloggery admin, so I hope in the next few years to play one of the games.

EDIT: [boring take on indie games, not suitable for this thread, try again Jimbob]

I like Picross 3d, though not as much as Picross DS.

I bought a new phone. Its much newer and its very fast and the camera is great.
I spent a lot of money.
I'm doing the exact same shit I did on my old one. Slightly faster.

On the great Switch

Double post as someone mentioned something about buying Fire Emblem games

And that's the purchase of the thread. Close it down now folks. (unless anyone else is also picking up PoR/RD)

I do own PoR as well, which according to pricecharting (Might be part of my quiz idea) my 5th most valuable game (3rd if not counting special editions).

Aren't modern electronics wonderful?

My last 'phone change-over was from iPhone to Android, so there was at least some difference between the two. Mostly in frustration of use.

Oh god no, I could never go back to Apple.

I will say, it did a good job of reloading all my apps and accounts and settings just from me putting in my google password. Sure, I could be concerned about the amount of my data Samsung have stored but it was extremely convenient.

I have had some actual advantages though; the storage is much bigger so I can have a few different games on there at a time, and Pikmin Bloom is playable on this one and doesn't grind the machine to a standstill whenever its running in the background.

The DS3 as I only had the one DS3 in black, tried it out with some COD MW3 online. DS3 works fine, yet going from playing some Resistance FoM to COD MW3 in a matter of days makes COD MW3 look like a Nintendo game in comparison, as it has some colours that aren't grey or beige.

Also elsewhere I mentioned I always look at DS, 3DS, Wii games etc even though not a lot on them, I would like. Spotted Meteos and Balla likes to tell us about it, that for £4 worth a punt same with the rest like DOA was £5 and looks nice still.

Cappa and Rum like it too! So does Jay Bayliss of Back Page sometimes-fame, as if that'll be a recommendation to anybody here. Granted I'm the only one who puts it in my top 10 games ever, I expect.

DoA 'looks nice' does it.

I thought mostly everyone here liked Meteos?

I would like to inform you all that I have no opinion on Meteos

Yes I thought Andy's stance was the overriding forum view. I don't think it was exactly a commercial success, sadly! So my assumption was that not all that many of us have played it. (And I know that Buska's opinion of it ranks... somewhere below mine, shall we say.)

Picked up 13 Sentinels on Switch

And Fire Emblem Warriors on New 3DS. Looking seems only other physical is Xenoblade in Europe that I may also get that just for the #bantz of having a complete physical collection.

Recent pick ups time, Spiderman I've been meaning to buy again for a while, one of my favourite games of the last gen and another addition to my Marvel collection that I kinda wanna make a thing. I got Everybody's Golf purely because I heard the online servers were gonna be switched off so I want to get the soon to be unobtainable trophies for it before they disappear, silly logic really.

Cyberpunk was a moment of weakness, I've never been even remotely hyped about this game and when you disregard all it's issues, it doesn't even sound that interesting, I just wanted a new game at the time. Triangle Strategy looks and sounds like something I'll love, when I eventually get around to it so that's a lot more justified. Finally we have Jedi Fallen Order which I hear is a decent single player experience and I'm always up for more Star Wars.

That's five absolute bangers there and handy May is a meh month, you can play all of those.

Still need to get Spiderman, and still need to go back to Everybody's Golf!

My pick-ups from over the Easter break:



I’ll likely type up further thoughts on Taito Milestones and WWE 2K22 when I’m finished with them. That Gremlin collection contains a truly head-scratching and bottom-of-the-barrel selection of games, I don’t think I’ll sit down and finish any of those games. It’s like an anti-proof on concept for the Evercade; why would you bother with this keech?

The N64 cartridge was a tenner delivered from Amazon, it’s a fishing game created by the guy who wrote and designed Earthbound on the SNES. I'm sure I'll love it.
