New Ninty Gets!

Sorry to the most awesome mod in these parts for starting such a thread. And I acknowledge the overlap between this forum and the retro game forum.

Surprised you hadn't got them already Cidey. Four Swords for the GC is next on my list too, I've a few more to get (and am looking to collect every Zelda game CIB eventually, except those non canon cd-i monstrosities). I've only a few oddities left really:

Four Swords (Gamecube)
Zelda 2 (NES Classics GBA)
Links Awakening
Links Awakening DX

I may get repro carts of the BS Zelda games (never released in physical form, so one of the rare situations where a repro cart is justifiable), & after that, just whatever new stuff comes out

I must look out for the Famicom versions too, they look so adorable!

I picked both Oracle games up CIB last year I think, pricey, but worth it. I really enjoyed Oracle of Seasons, haven't played Oracle of Time yet. Great music in them

Indeed, they're worth having for the oddity factor alone

Picked up Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow and Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride, a fiver each in CEX and both worth considerably more than that, the former for around 25 and the latter for around 60.
So, not a bad tenner spent.
Also got a lovely big Super Mario Maker badge for nothing, from the kind staff in Gamestop Santry.

Was Dawn of Sorrow mispriced? Nice find though!

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.

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!

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

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...
