I got this Super Mario Game & Watch a while ago, but I just recently set it up. It plays the first Super Mario game and the Japanese Mario 2, which is cool, but I doubt I'll play them much. The real treat for me is the clock. Mario jumps around all day and smashes the numbers when the time changes. The background also changes with the time of day which is a nice touch. This is a crap picture, but you get the idea.

Thanks, Reprise! I've wanted it for many years and missed a chance to get it about six years ago. Didn't let it pass me by this time. Can't wait to play through it later this year. There's also a hint book guide similar to the ones for Phantasy Star II and III, but the Centy one was sold separately. Would be cool to track that down eventually as well.

I've wanted to check game out since the trailer debuted a while back, but I had no idea is was receiving a physical release. I've been on Ace Attorney kick lately, so Investigations sort of rounds that out and now I only need the Apollo Justice trilogy and the Ace Attorney/Professor Layton crossover. I also came across a clean copy of Columns III so I grabbed that as well, I remembered someone else finding this a while back and enjoying it.

Gotta love the cover art of Columns III! Lol. Also, I wasn't familiar with Plucky Squire, looks interesting for sure. Look forward to hearing your thoughts on it. I've yet to jump into the Ace Attorney games, but they've got a lot of praise around here, so I'd like to try them.

Very cool! Would enjoy having something like this on my desk at home.

I always wanted it as a kid, since I saw it advertised on a poster that came with my copy of Light Crusader. I finally got it about 15 years ago, maybe a bit more or less. The European version is a lot more common though, for some reason.

Enjoy! It's a fun little game. It's a bit of a Zelda clone, but puts its own twist on the formula.

I picked up a couple of lovely condition Game Boy Advance games. Metal Slug Advance and Mario Golf Advance Tour. Since getting into the Game Boy Advance, Metal Slug has been one I have wanted to get. I nearly bought Drill Dozer instead, but changed my mind and went for Metal Slug instead since it's much cheaper. I also got Time Crisis 2 and picked up Split Fiction, since my wife and I loved It Takes Two and A Way Out.

I picked up the first two Syphon Filter games for PS1. I didn't own them when I was younger, but I had a friend who had them and I have a lot of fond memories playing the games with them. They weren't expensive and I had been after them for a while.
