I just bought both Pacman CE DX+ and Magical Drop V.

The former's free trial totally convinced me to buy it and while I considered getting it on the 3DS instead, it was cheap enough that it's not a huge loss if I double-dip later. And Magical Drop V is being sold for one euro. Very hard to say no to a game I want at that price.

Wow, another month that ended up being pricier than I expected. Damn you digital sales!

The Atelier games were cheap purchases from PSN during a sale. I enjoyed Totori so much earlier this year I figured I'd try out the other two parts of the trilogy (I started with the middle game, oddly enough). Worth buying whilst they were so cheap instead of paying full price later.

Sayonara Umihara Kawase and Code of Princess I've been waiting on a sale for for ages. £20-£25 for each seemed pretty extortionate considering they dont have physical releases. Code of Princess was still kind of expensive, but I thought I'd pick it up at last anyhow. I hope I don't regret it.

Danganronpa isn't really my game, I bought it for my girlfriend for her birthday as she bought the first to play on my Vita and adored it. One day I'll give it a go.

Hyrule Warriors and Theatrhythm were the games I intended to pick up this month as something to tide me over til Smash released. Ironically, I didn't get to play either - Hyrule Warriors has gotten lost in the post somewhere and has yet to arrive, and my 3DS L-button broke just before Theatrhythm arrived and makes it unplayable (the system registers it as constantly pressed). At least I have a new console coming with Smash - not being able to play that at launch would be awful.

Dreamcast
Capcom vs SNK
Thought I haven't played the sequel, I honestly think Capcom vs SNK is my favorite 2D fighter. With the team ups it's a little more off beat compared to a traditional Street Fighter, but not as crazy/off the wall as the MvsC's of the world.

Although it would have been nice to bring my 7800 collection to near completion in one fell swoop, I saved several hundred dollars by losing some auctions. I celebrated by pickingup a bunch of games locally this morning. (Screw you, auctions!) They include:

Bugs! (2600)
SSSnake (2600)
Choplifter II (GB)
Killer Instinct (GB)
Dr. Mario / Puzzle League (GBA)
Karnaaj Rally (GBA)
NES Classics Series: Bomberman (GBA)
Looney Tunes: Marvin Strikes Back! (GBC)
Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition (PS1)
Lethal Enforcers I & II (PS1)
Red Asphalt (PS1)
Frantix (PSP)
The Conduit 2 (WII)

They aren't 10+ 7800 games I need for my collection, but they will have to do...

Looks neat.

With games like that I tend to look at the Famitsu review before the mainstream American reviews.

I've enjoyed quite a few "4-6/10" handheld RPGs these last few years, so I'll check this one out eventually.
