The only shovelware you should concern yourself with is Shovel Knight. ;)

I know. I think I am going to buy that right after I finish up Military Madness.

Yeah the best DSI games are probably those GBA compilations. And even those are lazy - from what I recall they each only contain 2 or 3 games.

Putty Squad looks interesting... It's also insanely cheap for a game released so recently. Didn't know a game could launch as a budget title.

I'd like to see the revival of more of these old European Commodore games. It was nice to see Giana Sisters on the DS (+ a sequel on Steam I think). There's also an upcoming reboot(?) of Shadow of the Beast on PS4.

I received my first Super Famicom game from ebay yesterday: Super Aleste.

Didn't get to play much of it, but it was 'super' fun for what little I did play. I can't wait to play some more.

Might I ask how much? It's the Japanese version of Space Megaforce, which is crazy expensive right now.

It's one of the best SNES shmups.

I think I paid a little over $50 for it, including shipping. I got it in less than a week too (from Hong Kong).

I looked at Space Megaforce but it was a little too pricey. So I just went with the SFC version since it's the same game.

Only problem is now I have started a SFC cart collection and I need more!

Speaking of...

I just ordered Final Fight and Final Fight 2 for Super Famicom on Friday. I know the SNES version of Final Fight is not bad price wise, but Final Fight 2 for SNES is pricey. I won't even mention Final Fight 3.
