No, it's a horrible platform, and I hate collecting for it.
Every game he buys is like a stab to the heart.

136 painful, painful stabs.
Dang! I only have half of the painful stabs that Elkin Senpai does :lol:

I've never used RF generation. Is there anyway I can look at what games you gots? I'm always game for more cool Wii/PS3/360 games to hunt for.

Damn Elkin, you's and I's were about even collection-wise until you went hog-wild on the 7th/8th gen stuff this year.

Haha, the low prices for 7th gen stuff and my love for niche, low print 8th gen games (along with a futile desire to support Wii U releases and impatience for a few high-profile releases) fueled that.

Yeah, I forgot to add the URL to my signature image. I've got that fixed now, but here's the URL anyway for sake of ease.

Your signature's getting a little tall there, buddy. Might wanna consider giving it a haircut. *grabs a few tufts and yanks*

But seriously, it's taking up too much space. Snip it!

Since your tag is the same on all the networks just condense them into one line.

I put repro in the notes on my Backloggery, but I'm not putting it on my RF Generation.

I also just had to add the PAL release of Zombie Army Trilogy for PS4. They've got the US release (even though there wasn't originally supposed to be one) but not the PAL release (which is what I bought since there wasn't supposed to be a US release). First time I've seen a recent game in my collection that isn't already on there (though I have a feeling I'll be adding several Vita and PS4 games tomorrow when I get to the Limited Run stuff).
Yeah some of the Limited Run stuff isn't on there. I've added a few but I'm not sure if many others have bothered with them.

After September 30th, you'll no longer be able to add any DSiWare points to a DSi or DSi XL. That means if you plan on buying any DSiWare games for those systems, you'd best do so this week!

Most DSiWare is still available on 3DS eShop mind, but for my money it looks a lot nicer on a DSi screen because it's running at the correct resolution and looks brighter and less blurry.

Woah, thanks for the heads, up!
I'll be getting Dragon Quest Wars for sure, maybe I'll find something else.

I'm not sure if they're on the 3DS eShop or not, but A Kappa's Trail, Cave Story, and Dark Void Zero are definitely 3 other DSi shop games I got a lot of enjoyment out of :D

If anyone here has a DSi and doesn't have all 7 of the Art Style games for the system, I strongly advise they get on that now. They're utterly fantastic.

Other games I enjoyed include:

X-Scape (a sequel to Japan only GB game X, and possibly the best game on the service not called Art Style

Spotto!" - A Nintendo developed puzzle game where you have to angle bombs into targets.

Metal Torrent - A pretty basic bullet hell, but pretty fun in it's own way.

Pop Island - A fun team capture the flag game with surfing penguins and skateboarding elephants.

Starship Patrol - A tower defence game, but a really good one. It's by Q games.

Looksleys Line-Up - Perhaps not as impressive as it used to be, but this is a fun '3D' game which monitors head movements to adjust the environment in game. You have to find the right angle to find hidden objects in the environment.
