I just picked up Fishing Resort the other day, fairly pricy for what it is, and realized it was published by XSeed. Looking through I realize that they and Marvelous published some really good and fairly hard to find and expensive Wii games. Since I already have a few of these and really like them so I'm going to go after all of them. Here is what I've found that they published:

Drill Sergeant Mindstrong (Wiiware)
Fishing Resort
Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon
Ivy the Kiwi?
Ju-On: The Grudge
Little King's Story
Pandora's Tower
Rune Factory Frontier (published by Marvelous)
The Last Story
The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces
Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga
Victorious Boxers: Revolution

I already have Fishing Resort, Fragile Dreams, Little King's Story, Pandora's Tower, and Sky Crawlers. I need to find the rest.

Nick pickup, I've been looking for that one seemingly forever.

I've seen Data East Arcade Classics a couple of times in different stores. Even though it seems to be uncommon and with some demand attached, none of the games really draw me in enough to justify the purchase.

Somehow I feel like this will be a choice I regret later... people always talk about the game like it's some kind of grail.
:D

It has Bad Dudes on it; so, I don't blame them.

@JMBarnes: yeah it looks like anything xseed, marvelous, and atlus if you like games with their names on it you might want to pick it up when you see it. I've learned that the hard way a few times...(atlus at least those games most i touch I realize I like a lot even if I don't devote the time to beat them so i might as well pickup when i see it)

It's over now I think but I took thorough advantage of this sale and probably added approximately 25-30 games to my collection. Every time I think I'm getting close to finalizing what I want for this collection I find a bunch more stuff that's actually good.

My last stop at another GS netted me 7 games for $17, I didn't match on one of them.

I got
Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon
Heavenly Guardian (missing instructions)
Marble Saga Kororinpa
Martian Panic
Mercury Meltdown Revolution
Obscure the Aftermath
Safari Adventures Africa

I've decided to go after the UFO published games as well. I already have most of them so it's only a couple more games. They published almost all of the SHMUPS that we got over here though.

Went riding last week and found these at a place called Granny Bea's in Columbus, IN

3 for $25
Fritz Chess
F1 2009
Drag & Stock Racer

All complete, I actually already have fritz chess and F1 but they are on the rarer side so grabbed them.

Oh wow, so jealous! :D

Fritz Chess is one I've always wanted, but have never seen in person (and wasn't willing to pay the inflated prices for). I used to have the DS version and really enjoyed the Chess 960 variant.

Great find.
