...a bit late w/the pickups I grabbed in last month. Ninja Five-O and Beyond Good & Evil finally arrived from LRG and Larian had some unexpectedly quick shipping for BG3. I also kicked off convention season w/a trip to Super MAGFest, where my favorite find was a very clean CIB copy of Quartet, though adding some shmups to collection is cool too.

I added Donkey Kong on the GameBoy this afternoon!

I am slowly going through and purchasing the classics for the GameBoy. I had the system as a child, but I eventually got rid of it along with a few games. One of those games was Donkey Kong. I played for a good while, but I don't know if I ever beat it. Now that I am older and that I can play the system on my Television, I am more inclined to go through it again. I am very excited to explore the GameBoy library once again and I know that this is one of its best ones. Very happy to finally have this in my collection.

I pre-ordered Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii and it arrived today, along with Enemy Territory: Quake Wars that I had ordered off eBay. The game seems pretty fun so fun. It's a pirate themed Yakuza game, what's not to like if those games are your thing?

Bit the bullet and splurged on Funko Fusion for the Switch. I already tried the PS5 version (1hr trial) and heard there's DLC based on Mega Man and the Wicked film adaptation. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait for it to hit the Switch. But the Wicked DLC is definitely a day one purchase for me.

Doom Eternal (Ps4), LittleBigPlanet Karting (PS3), Virtua Fighter 5 (PS3) - $2AUD / $1.28USD via Thrift.

I popped into a regular thrift store and they had about 30 PS3 and PS4 games, I only took what I actually wanted and left the others hoping a collector might get a score of something they needed, came back the next day, all gone.

Eternal I own on PC and loved, when I decide to play it again I will give it a crack on the PS4. LittleBigPlanet Karting just reminds me of that PS3 era where Sony was just trying anything Nintendo to see if anything stuck (PS Move, LBP Karting, PS All Stars)

Final Fantasy VIII Remastered (PS4) - $29.95AUD / $19.19USD via Amazon
Amazon had a few FF titles going relatively cheap, couldn't resist!
I got 1000/1000GS on the Xbox version of FF8 and have been hankering to play it, the fast forward feature is lovely for drawing! I own it on PS1 (3 different covers) but I really wanted a physical copy of the Remaster.

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster (PS4) - $25.99AUD / $16.65USD via Amazon
It is a shame this version of the game doesn't have fast forward features, which currently only the PC version features. It was going cheap enough that it was worth buying (for the 4th time) but depending on my mood going in, I assume I will play it on Steam again, purely for the FF feature, which is the only feature I ever use on newer builds of these games.

Scarlet Nexus (PS4) - $10.50AUD / $6.73via eBay
I don't know much about this one, I was tempted a few times in the early days of owning my PS5, but when I saw it on ebay I just chucked up a random bid and won. Anyone played this one through?

From what I have seen, I would enjoy Funko Fusion well enough, the price just needs to drop dramatically for me to pick it up. I feel like if it came out a generation ago, it would have had Toys for Life Funko's.

I am not sure how my son discovered Kao The Kangaroo, but he developed an interest in the series and wanted the new reboot game that's on modern platforms. Well, the other week it went on sale on the Nintendo eShop and so I picked it up for him. Then I came across a copy of the original for the Dreamcast on Friday last week, along with NBA 2K2, so I bought both. I also picked up Sonic 3D for the Saturn recently from eBay. I bought the Mega Drive version like 30 years ago when I was the same age as my son is now. It's crazy to think about (I still have my original MD copy too). I was always intrigued by the Saturn port and an auction came up that no one else seemed to be taking an interest in, so I put down a bid and won.

I managed to win an absolutely battered copy of Jet Set Radio for the Game Boy Advance in a eBay auction. It's super rare and I have wanted a copy for a few years now. I am annoyed I skipped a reasonable one a couple of years ago that ended up selling for around £80. It just had a large sticker on the box that put me off. I have seen a couple of really nice ones in the last year for about £300ish, but I don't want to pay that. Anyways, I got a battered copy (including good condition manual and cart) for £50 and it looks fine in a box protector, so I am fine with it.

I also bought a sealed copy of Phantom Crash for Xbox. It was cheap and the game looks fun (yeah, I am going to unseal it and play it at some point), so I got it. It was an impulse buy.

I added Syberia II on the Microsoft XBOX this afternoon!

Back in 2015, when I originally first got the XBOX, one of the first games I picked up for it was the original Syberia. In 2017, when I eventually played it, I was amazed at how much I liked it. Point and Click Adventure games were really not my genre, but I was always intrigued in the original Syberia and I wanted to try it out for myself. I loved the story and the atmosphere and the game play/puzzles weren't too difficult to get through. Ever since then, I had been hunting the sequel off and on. Recently, I had been looking for it more heavily so when I recently traded in a game I removed and I saw Syberia II sitting on the shelf, I had to have it and used my trade in credit to get it. Now, after all these years, I finally have my own copy of the sequel.
