It's in full color with memory card stickers included. I don't even own or like the game, but it was a neat find. The writing inside is so cringe though. Dear God.

I have that too!

Recently mentioned in the Games NOT Beaten thread, the game is not the best nor fun to play. However, that is a very nice book and one of the few Working Designs 'specials' for that game. Unlike Lunar and Arc The Lad, the game came just by itself, no special items in a large box.

Hoo boy, slow down there, Exhuminator! That's a lot of gaming!

Anyway, I've been on a bit of a buying splurge as of late myself. I ordered the first three PS3 Atelier games from GameStop (Rorona being the Plus version) with the B2G1 going on, and in-store I also snagged Grand Kingdom for Vita, Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness (seriously, guys?), and DOOM using B2G1, and tacked on a $5 copy of Adventure Time: Hey Ice King, Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?! (double seriously, guys?)

Other than that, they're supposed to be shipping a copy of Fortune Street for Wii to the store, they "had" a copy that apparently was nowhere to be found, but I should be able to get the pristine case out of the deal when I pick it up. The manager said he'd honor the B2G1 on the other two games when I picked it up as well, so I'll be snagging Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale (okay, this is just getting ridiculous) and XCOM: Enemy Within. Whew!

Oh, right! I also just gave in and bought Picross S on Switch. I'm also mulling over Double Dragon IV, despite the iffy reviews.

I am splurging in the twilight days of the 3DS and Vita, it's true. But my game collecting will wane significantly once those platforms cease new releases. Outside 3DS/Vita, all I care to buy are a few last 7th gen releases I missed. I don't see myself buying a Wii U/Switch/PS4 within the next two years. I'm reaching a saturation point for better or worse.

One of my friends has been going nuts about Picross on Switch. I've never played any of them... but I'm curious.

I use the "make bad decisions now; regret later" approach.

I don't normally post in here, but on Friday:

Super Nintendo Classic Mini edition

It works great! I love the little doofy box.

I recently found that I had gotten 2 humblebundles! 1 that is a Capcom bundle and another that has some Wii-U and 3DS games.

I love picross puzzles (or 'oekaki logic' as they're sometimes called in Japan). I keep meaning to get Ochan's Oekaki Logic for the Saturn, but I still haven't.

If you like puzzles like Sudoku, or Mastermind (I don't particularly like Sudoku, but--) then picross is probably the next logical (

) step for you.

Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 GB - £5.50
Thumper Switch eShop - £15.99
Noobow GB - £32.43

Ouch.

Still, I got some cool games, right?

Noobow, Rockman, Dracula-Kun and Mother were bought from the same guy on eBay. Rhythm Tengoku and Wario Land were also eBya purchases. OutRun I found in a second hand shop, Thumper and Overcooked were eShop purchases. The SNES Mini I had preordered some time ago.

This month is going to be somewhat lighter I hope. I'll be grabbing Mario though, and maybe the new Layton as well.

Overcooked is SO damn good! One of the best cooperative games ever made. A++++++ from Partridge rankings
