3) Faxandu (Wii VC)

Luigis mansion DM, Harmo Knight

Picked up Brothers in Arms: Double Time for $2 (for two BiA games, so $1 each, can't get better than that) and Lego: Pirates of the Caribbean for $10.

EB Games(Gamestop) had Academy of Champions for $2 too but after checking it out online I decided it was too similar (gameplay) to Mario Strikers which I already own.

Nothing too exciting, just completed my set of Wii Remotes Plus and some attachments. Oh, and I earned enough CN Stars to buy Game & Watch Collection 2 which should now be on its way.

Super Mario 64 (Wii VC)

I just purchased this game at Club Nintendo for 200 coins.

My copy of Game & Watch Collection 2 arrived this morning. I'll play it once I get my white 3DS XL later this week!

EDIT: I decided to not get a second 3DS at this time since I don't need to worry about multiplayer gaming. By the way, I picked up Professor Layton and the Last Specter this evening and tried the first 20 minutes or so. It's actually kinda gripping - I want to see where the story goes next!

I just found Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, a game valued at $70 AUD, for $5!

I've never played a game in the FE series, so this will be a new experience for me. I hope I like it!

I just downloaded some DLC for Final Fantasy IV: The After Years and downloaded Ironclad for the Wii Virtual Console.

I'm going to try and buy a 1,000 or 2,500 points Wii e-card this weekend probably and download Zenquaria: Virtual Aquarium for 600 points. I may be writing my own review on it lateron.

escapeVektor (3DS eShop)

I had to get this game while it's still on sale for $5.

Just picked up Metroid Prime Trilogy for $35!

Star Fox 64 3D

HOOOOOOOLYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! That's Übercool! I guess those pinball games'd do nicely with me Unfortunately, I don't have a Wii U, but if I had I'd be all over'm.

Pandora's Tower (Wii)

I just placed a pre-order at Amazon for this extremely unique/niche JRPG. I don't think many copies will be printed, and I refuse to pay anymore than MSRP for a videogame.

I just decided I won't now Nintendo discontinued their best channels. I won't buy Zenquaria: Virtual Aquarium. I'm very sad atm.

Samantha wrote:I just decided I won't now Nintendo discontinued their best channels. I won't buy Zenquaria: Virtual Aquarium. I'm very sad atm.

It's Hudson Soft's My Aquarium series that use the discontinued Weather Channel and WiiConnect24 features. Zenquaria has none of these features and will still work 100%.

Just interested, why do you want this aquarium fish info book / screensaver?
It was a bit of a letdown for me.
Yes, it has two strong points: much better graphics and more educational value than the other fishtank simulators for Wii.
But compared to My Aquarium it has even less content and gameplay, and less freedom and creativity in editing your own fishtank (I thought that was already the biggest flaw in My Aquarium 1&2 and here it's even worse, just so you don't have too big expectations.)
Anyway it's just 6 bucks and it's worth it if you like reading and learning more about aquarium fish, or if you want your virtual fish to move more lifelike with more realistic animations than the rather boring slow and robotic My Aquarium fish species.
However, Zenquaria still leaves much to be desired for aquarium fans and a Wii U HD version should make it redundant easily.

Here's the sweet deal: you could save these 6€ and put them towards Endless Ocean 2 (which I found for 20€ last year). That's a beautiful, atmospheric game filled with content (aquarium included) worth your time.

Thanks for the lovely update you wrote here and advise. I really like that, SKTTR.

Well, bottom line is I love fish in general, no matter what size or kind, eventhough some of them give me the creeps. I even like sharks and feed rays by hand. I'm not scared I don't like to eat fish nor do I like crustaceans (which usually look like spiders to me and I hate spiders ).

I don't know if you ever had the privilege to own an aquarium. If so, you must be familiar with the fact everything comes together in a small man-made world and the challenge is to be the best caretaker you can and keep it all alive. What I get back for it is love and attention from my Ryukin fish (call me crazy, but they really know the owner), and a soothing environment. The sound of the water filtration system like a little creek running, the lighting (I got blueish blacklight), the pebbles and stones (crisp white), even the sweet waving water plants. Ryukin are bottom grazers, they are looking for food all day. They don't fight, like to have 5 - 7 other Ryukin friends, have very small to no territorial restrictions and share food amongst their friends. They are cold water fish, so the aquarium temperature shouldn't be more than about 20C or 50F and cannot drop or rise more than by 1.5C or 2F a day, so in those summer months it's very difficult to keep it the right temperature!

I have Endless Ocean, but it won't run. The disc is too badly damaged. And I lost Endless Ocean 2 somewhere. TTME when I did Next to Mario Kart Wii the best games I ever had for the Wii.

Well, for 6 Euros I can't have high expectations, but I can have them on my TV screen and swim with them . If I run into a good Endless Ocean 2 deal, who knows what'll be next There's no way I'm gonna spend my money on another Nintendo console soon. I'm saving my money for another

Keep up the good work, SKTTR, and truly thanks so much again for your advise and consideration

EDIT: I didn't know you are from Germany! We're in the same time zone! Do you own Mario Kart Wii? Let's play! YAAAAY!!!!

My most recent videogame purchase was probably around a year ago, believe it or believe-it-not. :-P

It was Toy Soldiers: Cold War for the Xbox360 which I spent many hours playing. :-D

Just purchased My Aquarium AND Zenquaria: Virtual Aquarium

We're all very tired here and enjoying a beautiful sunny and warm spring evening in The Netherlands. We're turning in early today, so please, enjoy the rest of your day and have fun!

Love, Samantha.

I just bought a white Nintendo 3DS XL - one of the last two in the whole shop in fact! It has Super Mario 3D Land pre-installed, which those of you who read my review know I rate very highly. Friend Code should be up before the end of the day AEST. If you want to play Kid Icarus: Uprising with me, that's the FC you'll want to know!

Samantha wrote:Thanks for the lovely update you wrote here and advise. I really like that, SKTTR.

Thank you. I've seen you took the plunge and got both. I hope you have fun, even though I told you that they're kinda cheap. They're not aquarium simulations. While My Aquarium has some gameplay: fishtank editing, breeding and unlockables, Zenquaria is totally a screensaver / aquariumfish info-brochure.

Well, bottom line is I love fish in general, no matter what size or kind, eventhough some of them give me the creeps. I even like sharks and feed rays by hand. I'm not scared I don't like to eat fish nor do I like crustaceans (which usually look like spiders to me and I hate spiders ).

I love all kinds of marine life. That's why I got Endless Ocean 1 & 2, Dive: The Medes Islands Secret, My Aquarium 1 & 2, Zenquaria, and well, Rapala We Fish! (you know we never got Fishing Resort here in Europe) for Wii.

I don't know if you ever had the privilege to own an aquarium. If so, you must be familiar with the fact everything comes together in a small man-made world and the challenge is to be the best caretaker you can and keep it all alive.

I owned several fishtanks, some with aquarium fish but most with frogs, newts, waterscorpions, and many creepy feral dragonfly and waterbeetle larvae.

What I get back for it is love and attention from my Ryukin fish (call me crazy, but they really know the owner), and a soothing environment. The sound of the water filtration system like a little creek running, the lighting (I got blueish blacklight), the pebbles and stones (crisp white), even the sweet waving water plants.

I know what you mean about caring and creating an underwater landscape that makes a little paradise for your fishies. Unfortunately there's no such realistic and serious fishtank simulator for Wii. My Aquarium is extremely limited in any important category but most unfortunate are the fish that are boring and lifeless as if the water is lacking oxygen. ((Just so you know: My Aquarium 2 doesn't add anything to the gameplay. It has just a few more items and different fish to put in, and more of those haunting deep sea creatures that you don't like much. It's more a remake than a sequel. And it's trying to rip off customers with 5 DLC packs á 100 Wii Points.))
At least Zenquaria is informative like one of those 6€ fish books that you can get in an aquarium store, like a starter set for someone who wants to get a real aquarium. And the fish have some light interaction with each other and they're much nicer to look at. But yeah, none of them are full-fledged simulations. I guess you're not supposed to be too critical when you only pay 5 or 6€ for these.
And on a final note: With My Aquarium you get about 40(!) classic music (piano & strings) tracks. It's rare that you can find 40 pieces of classic music on a (double-)CD for 5€. A bit ironic, but I would recommend My Aquarium to classical music fans rather than aquarium fans

I have Endless Ocean, but it won't run. The disc is too badly damaged. And I lost Endless Ocean 2 somewhere. TTME when I did Next to Mario Kart Wii the best games I ever had for the Wii.

What are you doing to your games, Sammy???
TTME?

Well, for 6 Euros I can't have high expectations, but I can have them on my TV screen and swim with them . If I run into a good Endless Ocean 2 deal, who knows what'll be next There's no way I'm gonna spend my money on another Nintendo console soon. I'm saving my money for another

Another? Traitor. Which one? And why?

Keep up the good work, SKTTR, and truly thanks so much again for your advise and consideration

Ganbei!!

EDIT: I didn't know you are from Germany! We're in the same time zone! Do you own Mario Kart Wii? Let's play! YAAAAY!!!!

Ooooooh! No, no no no. Mario Kart Wii, that's the one that sucks so much. Or rather the one I suck so much at. Haven't played it in ages. You really have to push-start me.

Sammy, I answered you in the quote in bold.


+ Wii U DL #10 Kung Fu Rabbit
+ Wii U DL #11 Toki Tori 2

+ Wii U VC #4 Kirby's Adventure (NES)

Just picked up a $15 eShop card, which I intend to use to get some eShop downloads for my new white 3DS XL. I'll edit this post with what I pick.

EDIT: Since I had the smallest eShop Card amount, thus giving me enough funds for only 1-3 games, I decided to stretch out and shop wisely by getting these three games:

-Game & Watch Gallery (Virtual Game Boy)
-Game & Watch Gallery 2 (Virtual Game Boy Color)
-Game & Watch: Flagman (Nintendo DSiWare)

So in buying three games I now have 10 G&W titles on my white 3DS XL. Clever, right?

I found a copy of Pokémon HeartGold in the bargain bin at my local Target for a ridiculously-low price!

LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins (3DS eShop)

The NA 3DS eShop seems to be running very smoothly tonight. This game, which is just about 6,000 blocks, is only going take like 40 minutes to download.

You need to get The Last Story soon @Nintenbro! Amazon just got the last shipment they will be getting of the game so it'll be too late if you wait much longer.

I'll have to wait two weeks from yesterday, before I'll be able to order a copy. I would've done so, if I had known about Amazon's inventory.

Marvel Pinball (3DS eShop)
I just had to see what all of the fuss is about, since it's on sale for half price. It's definitely a quality pinball simulation, but this game could seriously use some paid DLC. Four pinball tables for $4 is a really great deal, but this game could still use a little more variety. Maybe like a Silver Surfer or Amazing X-MEN table, for example.

There's no X-Men table?! Is there at least a Spider-Man table?

Nope, just the following: Iron Man, Fantastic Four, Blade and Captain America.

I can't complain, though. I only paid $1 per table.

[img][/img]$15 i paid for all these. Also the Bulbasaur and Ivysaur figures were for free.

I just purchased a Donkey Kong arcade machine for $150 and it still works.

My best ever gaming investing was my 50" (and I'm talking about a tv screen here ).

We'll never be the same. That's for sure! To my baby, gaming is the next important thing in life. I wouldn't dare to compromise!

Recent big ups On Neo Geo Pocket Color i picked up Sonic Pocket Adventures for $4 on Ebay literally brand new with case. and as well as GoldenSun Dark Dawn for Nintendo DS $2.75 sealed.

I bought a $30 eShop card and I'm currently downloading the following from the eShop:

Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move (3DS Download)
Ice Climber (3DS Virtual Console)
Animal Crossing Calculator (Nintendo DSiWare)
3D Classics: Kid Icarus (3DS Download)

Three games and a calculator that says numbers in Animalese...sweet!

I got Luigi's Mansion 2 (Dark Moon) yesterday! It's awesome, I am really enjoying it Does anyone else here have it?

^ I have Luigi's Mansion, but I don't really care for the online multiplayer. The main game itself is amazing, though.

Wonderboy In Monsterland (VC Arcade)

Wonderboy III: The Dragon's Trap (Wii VC)

Just picked up

I just bought Zeruda no Densetsu: Daichi no Kiteki for less than $15 (marked down repeatedly from $70). I'm looking forward to playing it!

Just picked up Art Academy for 80% off RRP. Would anybody like me to upload some images for you to see?

Bought Super Metroid and SMB USA off the Wii U. Great buys!

Well I bought New Super Mario Bros for the DS today from my local Goodwill for $5. This and NSMBU are the only New Super Mario games I have not played yet.

I also bought Super Metroid on the Wii U VC a few days ago for 30 cents. Such an awesome game.

Just bought two $15 Nintendo eShop Cards, one for each of my Nintendo 3DS consoles. The games I plan to buy and download are:

BLACK
-Mario & Yoshi (Virtual NES)
-The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (Virtual Game Boy Color)

WHITE
-Donkey Kong Jr. (Virtual NES)
-The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons (Virtual Game Boy Color)

Those lists may change slightly, but two games are stuck on them: the Zelda Oracle series! They're almost here!

I got a brand new copy of Mario Kart Wii for under $20 at Gamestop today as a gift from my parents to cheer me up!

What else can cheer you up like Mario?!

Crimson Shroud (3DS eShop)
I had to get this while it was on sale. I have no plans at all to play it anytime soon, though. This already puts me up to 15 3DSWare games that I've downloaded.

I also downloaded the Smash Pack for FE:A. I'm thinking about downloading Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble to support the GameGear VC.

I replaced Pokémon White 2 earlier this week, so I'm making a fresh start with my new Oshawott, Chowder.

Yesterday I decided to catch-up with my Pokémon Black & White Theme Deck collection. I bought both Boundaries Crossed decks (IceShock, featuring Black Kyurem; and ColdFire, featuring White Kyurem) and also the two Plasma Storm decks, which are packed with Team Plasma Pokémon such as Giratina, Druddigon, Weezing and Infernape. If anybody has an account on Pokémon.com I'd be happy to play some Pokémon TCG with you.

White Noise Online (xbox indie game). Really quite the scary game to play with friends.

I also just purchased Pandora's Tower for the Wii, which completes my Operation Rainfall trinity collection for my Wii library.
