Oh dear, here's what not to do when buying games. I spent waaaaaayyyy too much this month, and it might be time to think of having a clear out next month to make a little money back. I shouldn't need to buy any games wither way, I have plenty to be getting on with.

The 3DO was to replace my broken one. They've gone up in price lately. 32X stuff was my 'splashing out' to celebrate 1000 games on my backloggery. Modded Mega Drive I saw fairly cheap so I jumped on it. The PS3 my friend was gonna sell to a shop. I gave him more than they would and got a PS3 for less than I would have paid otherwise. I bought Kingdom Hearts from the same guy.

The Wii U eShop games were added to the Humble Bundle I bought last month. Summon Night I bought last year.

Fire Emblem Fates I ordered, and then it didn't arrive, so I got a refund. The next day it arrived, so uh...I guess I got it for free, in a rather accidentally shady way.

All the other purchases were from a 2nd hand chain we have here in the UK called Cex. As you can see, I bought quite a few games to pad out my new PS3 library, alongside a few other things I spotted for cheap.

Are there any other WiiWare-exclusive games I should consider picking up?

I've been meaning to download some of those Rebirth games and similar reboots.

Do you have NyxQuest? It's a great one you definitely need to check out.

I actually have it on iOS...which is apparently where a lot of WiiWare games go to retire.

It is a very solid game, and it actually works really well with touch controls.

World of Goo also worked really well on iOS, and since they are usually drastically less expensive on that platform (and often feature HD graphics), I try to get WiiWare games on iOS if I can.

Some really good games remain exclusive to the service, however, and I didn't want to miss out on good games in two of my favorite series (i.e., Castlevania and Contra) just because they were exclusive to WiiWare.

Not a whole lot of interesting things this month... I did also get a Japanese copy of Foto Showdown, but I didn't realize that DSi games were region locked (and I was told by the store person that they weren't region locked), so I'm going to see if I can exchange it for something else or return it.

DS games aren't region locked. DSi games are. Because reasons. Your store guy probably didn't know the difference.

Well, now I know!

I bet the store guy rarely gets DSi games in stock, so it's not like I blame him for not knowing that. Yeah it's a bit annoying to have to go back to try and return it, but the people who work there (Pink Gorilla) are pretty nice so I doubt I'll have trouble exchanging it.

Other great WiiWare titles to consider if you've not got them already:

- All the Art Style games. Seriously, I'll keep claiming it until people will listen, it's the single greatest series of puzzle games ever made. There are 5 of them on WiiWare. I would rate them in this order: Rotohex > Cubello > Penta Tentacles > Light Trax > Orbient. Even Orbient is a good game though. I just prefer the quicker paced puzzlers myself.

- Tomena Sanner: Super weird one button running game that's a fun little romp, but quite short. It's all about timing, no button mashing.

- Hydroventure/Fluidity - Cool game where you play as a puddle and solve challenges.
