What games did you get this holiday season?

[RetroVision]

Got a Wii U this year from my wife...I will be honest at first I didnt really want it, but it is very cool. I love the additional features like cam, TV remote from the touch pad, etc. If not for video games it is like an advanced Roku as well. Not a big fan of the controller, but it could be worse. It is at least better than the old stick controllers for Wii...but I am glad everything from my Wii can be reused so I dont have to go out and buy a bunch of controllers. Now what games should I get? I have Mario, Batman and Sonic Racing, but these titles were picked out by my wife, so I havent taken a good look at the games yet....

ZombiU unless you just don't like survival horror. Nano Assault Neo is a good one to grab from the eShop.


I didn't get any gaming related presents. I did buy myself The History of Nintendo Vol. 1 to go along with my copy of Vol. 2 though. I really dig these books and can't wait for Vol. 3 to get released in English.

I received lot of portable gaming goodness, and I increased the size of my 3DS library substantially:

Cave Story 3D (3DS)
Kid Icarus: Uprising (3DS)
Professor Layton & The Miracle Mask (3DS)
Steel Diver (3DS)
Super Mario Sticker Star (3DS)
Professor Layton & The Last Specter (DS)
The Last Story (Wii)

Overall, I am very pleased with my holiday haul!

A lot of those 3DS games interest me. Definitely want to know what you think of Cave Story 3D, Professor Layton & The Miracle Mask, and Super Mario Sticker Star.

I have Okamiden in my 3DS right now, and I am about 25 hours into it. Once I finish that up, I expect that I will jump into Professor Layton & The Last Specter before heading to Professor Layton & The Miracle Mask. I have loved every Professor Layton game to date - and, particularly, The Unwound Future - so, I suspect I will love both of those games as well.

I am also playing through Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door right now on my Wii; so, it may be a while before I start up Sticker Star. I am chomping at the bit to get started on Cave Story 3D, however, and I will let you know how it is.

Got some Xmas cash so finally decided to buy myself a PSP. Should be arriving in the mail before new year. Now to mod it!

FTFY

I thought that was implied

[BurningDoom]

I got Resident Evil 6 and WWE '13 for Xbox 360. Two games I've really been wanting to play.

I also picked up Wings of Wor for Genesis, Test Drive 6 for Dreamcast, and Final Fantasy III for DS for myself.

And I got $150 cash which I haven't fully decided what I'm gonna spend it on. Right now I'm thinking about getting a 3DO and a few games, along with Bionic Commando for original Game Boy. Or maybe an Atari Lynx instead of the 3DO...hmmm, choices.

I also got this bad boy from my wife:

I used my Christmas cash already. I'm pretty happy with my purchases. Used it all exclusively on gaming, except for one comic issue I really wanted:

-1600 Point Microsoft Card (For the Dragonborn Skyrim expansion)
-Armored Core (PS1)
-Bionic Commando (Game Boy Original)
-Legend of Legaia (PS1)
-Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (Nintendo DS)
-Parasite Eve (PS1)

I also got these 2 books I've been really wanting:



I was gonna get Wind Waker for Gamecube, but dang! I didn't realize how much that game has climbed in value. I never should have traded it.

If anyone was curious, this was the one comic issue I really wanted:



It's like the only original Crisis on Infinite Earths issue I needed (well, it's more like a sequel or maybe a flashback issue). I loved the original Crisis!

The only new game I got was a gift from my fiance`. She bought me Hitman: Absolution and I LOVE it! I must have bought over in the realm of 100 pre-owned games between Nov-Dec spanning from Intellivision to the current generation. I have a problem...

[pumpkinpie65]

Oooo! That looks WAY more thorough than the 501 Must Play Games book I saw a while ago. I bet it's a fun read and a great coffee table book!


The only gaming thing I got was the only gaming thing I really wanted:

Journey: Collector's Edition

Gonna go fire it up right now!

[Stark]

Hmm got:

Hitman: Absolution (PC)
XCOM (360)
Torchlight II (PC)
Serious Sam 3 (PC)

and the thing that I really really wanted:
Arkham Horror (Boardgame):

PS2 Haunting Grounds - I requested this one since I've not been able to locate one in the wild for over a year.
Wii Michael Jackson Experience dancing game. Not requested. It lacks all the polish and fun that the Just Dance games have. Crazy since they were both published by Ubisoft. I expected more.
I'm going shopping this week and getting some games for myself since overall it was a bust this year.

[bryan_65]

overall it was a bust this year.

People should be happy that any one thought of them, I never expect or ask for anything. No gets for me this year, but I also did not want any thing.

The moral is to be happy for what you have and receive and give a little.
