Got Radiant Dawn for that price myself from Gamestop, does yours have the manual?

It does.

When taking price stickers off a load of my games during the week, I found those "We love recycling" stickers the worst.

Got Project Zero today. Only had 2 copies in Game in Derry. Both were preordered.

Myrddin

Not new exactly, but I got this SFC there recently (thanks again CosmicSmash) which was badly yellowed. Thanks to some peroxide-related voodoo, it's now ready to join the collection. The holy trinity is complete!

Machismo Fan

Got a copy of Rhythm Paradise in GameStop today!

Deano7788

Got Paper Jam and Xenoblade. Can't play till Christmas though :mad:.

Also I think I have only just realised MilesMorales previous username and of all things it was the tablecloth that gave it away!

marko93

Why not have both?


EDIT: Jesus how do I make this smaller

MilesMorales1

Cheap as chips, think it was like €20 for the three games.

Pac1Man

What was the general opinion on Black Ops? COD campaigns are my guilty pleasure when they reach <€10.

readyletsgo

Yay! I have no idea when I'll get around to actually playing it.

Go to Smyths to get Christmas present and came back with present and Codename STEAM. Was lucky I got away before buying any Amiibo.

RobbingBandit

Got a red 3ds xl, Animal Crossing New Leaf, Happy Home with the NFC and a load of amiibo cards and Persona Q to tide me ovet until I can get my 2DS repaired. Can't wait to put Tom Nook in a shanty house.

Xenoblade and Fatal Frame special Editions, Shovel Knight game, Mega Yoshi, Paper Jam for the 3DS. :DShovel Knight Amiibo and Amiiqo didn't arrive in time for Christmas though

Wii-U: Xenoblade Chronicles X, Project Zero, Animal Crossing, Rodea the Sky Soldier and Scribblenauts Unmasked: DC Comics Adventure.

Not a nintendian sausage. But plenty of lovely regular presents so no cause for complaint.....





One day, Xenoblade, one day....

Scribblenauts Unmasked seems to be more restricted than Scribblenauts Unlimited though, you can't edit the DC characters. It's as if they can't risk having Joker looking like an A-hole or something...

Star Lord

I got a pre-order for Twilight Princess HD with the Amiibo!

Ol' Donie

Majora's Mask and a Christmas jumper.

nitromaster

Finally picked up Kid Icarus!

Same here, no Nintendo stuff

I did get a new Xbox 1 though and I'm trying to play Elite Dangerous right now!
I do have a voucher so might take myself off and buy Xenoblade today

That may be the greatest Xmas jumper I've ever seen!

Jumped in and spent the massive tenner on Codename Steam...

CiDeRmAn

After getting the Shovel Knight Amiibo the other day I thought my new gets were done but I picked up Xenoblade Chronicles for the 3DS today in Argos for €29.99
I have it on the Wii but it remains sealed, and it should keep da skillz honed until I get home to the WiiU followup

MilesMorales1

That blu ray is also Nintendo honest.... The games and the DS console were 25 quid altogether, so even if I keep the DS and just sell platinum and ranger, its only gonna have cost me 7, so happy out.

CiDeRmAn

The original DS is pug ugly, thank the gods for the beautiful DS Lite

Really enjoyed that film actually.

The screen on it is a bit naff too I think? Still, €25 for all of the above is a good price.

Yeah, it's not so hot, and it was a blessing for Nintendo when they released the DS Lite with the crisp colourful screen along with New Super Mario Bros, as perfect a match as a Gameboy and Tetris.
I have a DS Phat myself, an essential part of the collection given how long I played on one, that is to say a long time, until it was replaced with the DS Lite.

I skipped the Phat and went from Gameboy SP to DS Lite I think. It's funny what we used to put up with back then when we didn't have anything better (crappy screens I mean). Modded displays on old handhelds ftw.

My Nomad was great when I got it back in the 90's but since the new screen, region mod and rechargeable battery pack wot I made its spectacular!

CiDeRmAn

Picked up Darksiders 2 for the WiiU in CEX for the princely sum of €8

McLoughlin

A solution for buying from Nintendo UK Store for Irish buyers. Buy a game get it sent to An Post in England and then An Post send it to Ireland.
Might try it out this week and see.

Got Typoman and the surprisingly cheap Gunman Clive HD.

Machismo Fan

Got a copy of Super Mario Sunshine today. Played it a little when it came out never played through it properly.

Star Lord

It's a great game, greatly (and unfairly) maligned! The water effects and the ink/gloop effects were incredible for the time, and Mario felt amazingly nimble compared to Mario 64!

I loved the exploring feel to it that hasn't really been tried since in a Mario game, it also got a tough deal because Galaxy was the follow up and almost any game would be feel inferior to that. It's a great game and I think time has been kinder to it than initial reactions.

CiDeRmAn

I loved Sunshine, got it on import when released and was gobsmacked at the visual effects and the bright colours dripping out of the screen.
It really is a game that needs a HD rerelease, if only because relatively few people got to enjoy the game the first time. You can certainly trace a lot of Super Mario Galaxy's recipe for success from Sunshine, more so than Mario 64

Star Lord

Like Rogue Squadron on the GC, it really benefited from those analogue shoulder triggers, and their 'click-stop' extra button functionality though.

Dying to replay this, I love it.

Waiting for the HD version that will surely come someday, but it's not easy.

Edit: it's one of a small number of games I bought twice. Like the same version on the same platform. Just saw it cheap one day, same one i had already played to death, but picked it up anyway.

MilesMorales1

I think sunshine held up better than 64 did, really.


They're both inferior to galaxy of course.

CiDeRmAn

I picked up the €25 copy of the Chibi Robo Zip Line with Amiibo today and, I'm sure glad the Amiibo is nice because the game is mediocre, at least so far.
That said, it is basking in it's own brilliant radiance compared to the stinking pile of intestines that is my other Ninty get today, a copy of Shadow the Hedgehog for the Gamecube, only 50c.....
I'm beginning to think that 50c would have been better spent on a packet of Love Hearts in Tesco though....

coffee to go

Woot! Snagged a Zelda Monopoly yesterday in Easons Newbridge with 75% off (I assume because the box had been opened). Delighted!

Ow, love it! Really want that, despite Monopoly being a pain in the face as an actual game.

My cheaper than chips COD Blops 2 arrived this morning, courtesy of Parcel Motel, not sure when I'll get to play it though!

At that price, it was worth it just to have a spare Wii U box!

COD campaigns are my guilty pleasure though. Turn the difficulty down, the sound up and Rambo your way through.

OORAH!

I've owned it before and just didn't enjoy it, it's all too scripted, Destiny has me spoiled!
But, at that price, it was too good to pass up, so we'll give it another go!
I have a 3rd party controller with an Xbox stick and button layout, it makes it all feel a little more authentic, so looking forward to throwing myself into another round with the enemies of US interests overseas!
