Games Acquired 2013

[prfsnl_gmr]

Here is my mid-March update. Everything listed under March is new. Sprung (DS) and Battalion Wars (GC) are my latest additions.

I have a of expenses this month; so, I am scaling it back a bit. (It is also getting harder to fund inexpensive 2600 games locally since I have been grabbing all of them.) Once some money comes in from eBay, however, I will probably pre-order Pandora's Tower (Wii) and blow my chances of keeping the average cost of the games I have purchased this year under $3.

In any event, I have acquired 140 games so far this year...which is a bit mind-boggling. It will be interesting to see how many I have added to my collection by the end of the year.

Guess I did a little late-night shopping last night. Woke this morning to discover I had purchased King's Knight (NES) for $0.75 plus shipping last night! Nice job drunk Nathan!

I also recently got Kirby Super Star for Wii Virtual Console for 150 Club Nintendo Points. I really wanted Paper Mario for 200 points, but I was 10 points shy and both offers were about to expire.

A few decent titles. I think I bought 6 games, I'll post my full list at the end of the month.

Next time I visit the local record store I think I'm gonna buy all the remaining titles they have in stock that I don't already own.

Picked up fire emblem awakening for 3DS new at GameStop. Took me awhile to find one. Also mortal kombat on the vita.

[Blu]

2013 will probably be more of slimming down what I'll never play again, and playing through what I already have. I am okay with that though.
