I added Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga for the GameBoy Advance this morning!

I enjoyed Super Mario RPG and I really enjoyed the Paper Mario series, but I never played any of the Mario & Luigi games. That is because those games were all on handhelds and I did not have any at the time. So, with me being able to play GameBoy Advance games now, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga immediately went onto my Wishlist. And with Brothership just coming out, I figured now would be a perfect time to try the first game in the series.

Superstar Saga seems like a cool game and on my list as a possibility to keep an eye out for. My son has been playing it on the Nintendo Switch and it looks good. The only Mario and Luigi game I have played is Bowser's Inside Story on DS, but I haven't gotten too far in it yet.

Scored a few Steam games recently, including Spidersaurus, Battle Fantasia, LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga (though for some reason, I can only use a Bluetooth controller for Player 2), Gestalt: Steam and Cinder, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, Under Night In-Birth EXE:late[cl-r] and the Turbo Kid game.

An unexpectedly big month this month. Started the month by picking up a new game with Split Fiction to play with a buddy. I haven't tried the studios games before but I heard good things.

I try to put a bit of money away each month towards some retro games, and February's money went towards Blood Will Tell, a cool action game for PS2 where you slowly regain parts of your characters body by fighting demons. It's based on a manga I don't know much about so hopefully fun despite that. I also picked up a small handful of cheaper games from my N64 wants list - it's the system I'm closest to owning all of my high priority games for, so I decided it was time to try and finish it up a bit.

March's retro money went to Mega Man 7 and Mario Party 7 (both of which arrived quickly, hence being in the same month as February's!). Both pretty exciting pickups - I've never even seen a PAL copy of MM7 before so when I saw it in stock I decided to pick it up as a priority. Mario Party is an import - my copy is in French, but cost less than half of a British PAL copy in English. And whilst the box and manual are en Francais, the actual game disc has multiple languages and defaults to English anyway, so well worth sacrificing being able to read the box to play an otherwise very overpriced game.

Finally, Castlevania and Penny's Big Breakaway are more Limited Run titles that arrived after being ordered some time last year.

My final pick ups of the month are Radiant Silvergun and Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble on the Switch and Playboy: The Mansion on PS2. I had no idea that Radiant Silvergun had received a normal retailer physical release on Switch. The Saturn version has been on my want list for a couple of decades, at least, and I never got around to picking it up, so I am more than happy getting the Switch version instead and saving myself over £100.

I finally bought the official arcade stick for Dreamcast! I have wanted one since the Dreamcast came out. I am so happy I found one and at a reasonable price and in good condition

Another big pick up for April is Spikeout for the Xbox. It got mixed reviews, but I am enjoying it so far.
