Games Acquired 2016

Exile: Wicked Phenomenon was certainly the highlight of the month. It's a pricey game, and exclusive to the TurboGrafx CD. I had been searching for about a year for the game at a price that wasn't too horrendous.

Man this game looks really cool. I'm completely awful with adventurey games, but I still want to play it since it seems like a cool murder mystery. The Famicom Tantei Club games interest me as well for the same reason ha.

Do you have the arcade pads to go with it.

@Bone - those are some nice SNES and N64 pickups. Is there anything you were really excited about?

No arcade pads unfortunately. It's a game I've been hunting for a while and just happened to see at a Gamestop in Raleigh yesterday. I still need to get the Japan only DS and GBA games as well as the two Famicom ones and Thracia 776 for my Fire Emblem collection. =/

Nice, are you going for the full set of Fire Emblem games too? I'm missing just two of the games now - Thracia 776 for Super Famicom, and Shin Monsho No Nazo for DS.

And now for my update:

I always feel a little better about how many games I buy when I see Elkin's list for the year.

Then I tally up the costs of the games I bought this month and that feeling goes away

Previous months:

October:
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice 3DS eShop - £24.99
Undertale PC (humble shop) - free
Paper Mario: Colour Splash Wii U - £39.99
Dead or Alive: Ultimate XBox - £2
Final Fantasy XIII PS3 - £5
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops PSP - £3
Crush PSP - £2
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes Gamecube - £45
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter Nintendo 64 - free(ish)
Patapon 2 PSP - £3
Total: 10 games, £124.98

A decent selection this month.

Most of these were cheap pick-ups in a 2nd hand game shop. I got some good prices on all the PSP games, as well as the XBox and PS3 game. I also got MGS: The Twin Snakes from there too - the price they had it at was pretty comparable with eBay including shipping, so I thought why not? Now I just need Peace Walker, Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain to have all the major MGS titles. I'm not counting the Ac!d games as part of that...

Undertale was a (very) belated birthday gift from a friend, for my birthday which was in....December

Turok I got as part of my birthday gift to him - I bought a bundle of games online for him which included Turok, a game he already has. Hopefully he'll like the other games that came with it though!

The Binding Blade you can find translated on EBay for around $12-15. That's where I got mine and it's great.

@Alienjesus - yep, I'm going after a complete set as well. I got the SNES translated in US shells set from Elkin though I think they're all incomplete translations. It's not a huge deal since I can play them on my SD2SNES but they look nice. I'm having a hard time finding English translation carts of the Famicom games in NES shells and an actual legit copy of Sacred Stones.

It's seriously the cheapest Famicom game I've ever seen not counting mahjong or baseball games. Just buy it.

Ah, I see. I'm going for the Japanese originals and adding translation patches to them on my Retron5. The famicom games are super cheap and easy to find. So are the first 2 Super Famicom games - but Thracia 776 is a pain because I need the printed cartridge version, not the much more common SF Memory cartridge of the game.

I also need to pick up an R4 cards or similar for my DS at some point so I can play translation patches of DS games. If anyone has one they're willing to sell me, let me know. I can't buy one here very easily because they were made illegal to sell in the UK.

Oh man Fire Emblem prices are brutal. Makes me glad I'm not a huge fan of the series, honestly. I'd much rather have a complete Shining Force or Ogre Battle set.

Yeah, Thracia 776 is a BITCH to buy. That's the one I'm hunting the most. Honestly, part of me wishes that someone would sell a really convincing Japanese repro of it on eBay and not tell me that it's a repro so I'd be none the wiser. >_<
