Your recent game purchases (any console)

Naming games differently has sometimes been related to a word that might be offensive in one region but not the other. Like Star Fox is known as Star Wing in Europe. Fox is not a very nice word out there if I can remember correctly. Do you know if Return to Dream Land might not be a presentable title in Australia? It might just not sound as appealing, I don't know. Like Nintendo Letter Box to you is SwapNote to us. The eShop game we call Pushmo is PullBlox in Australia. Do Australians prefer to pull stuff over pushing them? Why is it called something different in two different regions? I'm sure Nintendo has their reasons. If anyone knows, please share.

This would be a good topic to dive in deeper and write up a news post about now that I think of it...

Well I don't really know any answers to these questions but Star Fox 64 was actually called Lylat Wars here but interestingly the 3DS remake is called Star Fox 64 3D.

last few games i got was skyrim,batman arkam city,kingdomes of alumar and grand turismo 5.

That's a nice batch of 5 star titles. You guys sure know how to pick the good ones! Am I the only one that buys a crap game now and then?

I only buy crap games when I have money to burn. But only for the purpose of collecting stuff.

Received my copy of Kid Icarus: Uprising today. Looking forward to playing it!

You must have money to burn because you just bought crap. Nah...I'm teasing.

Mario Tennis Open finally arrived yesterday! Looking forward to playing some online matches.

Those Mario sports titles are always a lot of fun to play. Now that these regularly have online added to them I'm sure it only makes them better.

I picked up Pokemon Conquest a few weeks ago. Now THIS is a tactics game! Completely knocks Final Fantasy Tactics out of the water. So much deeper, micromanaging, characters, abilities, etc. If you aren't into Pokemon much I can see it being a little more frustrating. The good thing is you can really customize if you want, but you don't have to. Try this game tactic game lovers. You can't go wrong.

the 3ds

Congratulations getting a 3DS and welcome to the Ninfest forums marquell! So many great games that have been released and are soon to come should make your purchase worthwhile.

I Picked up the new Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. A bit frustrated at myself though. Somehow I missed the info that the Special Edition in the steel case was for preorders only. So I just got the regular version of it. At least it comes with 3 AR Cards!

New member! Sweet. Welcome marquell.

Picking up Last Story Aug 14th... anyone else?

I'll probably just rent it but it's getting great reviews. Maybe I should just buy it "for my daughter" since that is her birthday.

I finally gave in. My pretend boycott of Mario games has ended. Picked up New Super Mario Bros. 2 for 3DS. It doesn't matter that the B team at Nintendo made the levels. It's Mario, it's fun, and a must own for all 3DS owners.

Picked up Pokemon Black Version 2. I own White Version but decided to mix it up if I was to get the sequel. Already downloaded the bonus Pokemon that is only available until the 12th. Get on that if any of you own this. Now that I do have it I might have to dive into the purchases of Pokemon Dream Radar and the Pokedex 3D Pro, but that new Pokedex is $15! Please see the error in your ways Nintendo and bring that price back down to reasonable levels.

They won't bring it down, you know that man.

I wonder where Matt999 has been.

I'M EXCITED!!! Bought my first two Wii U games last night!

Madden NFL 13
Scribblenauts Unlimited

I just love staring at these beautiful boxes. Got them for $45 each. Toys R Us from now until Saturday has a deal where you get $30 off the purchase of two Wii U games priced at $60.

I picked up Assassins Creed 3 for Wii U today. Would have got black ops but they arent selling it so I got a 360 copy.

Saw Scribblenauts and Madden at Walmart tonight myself.

Not game purchases, but last night I picked up a $50 Wii U/3DS digital download card and a 2TB Hard Drive. In light of the recent news where the SD Card is only going to be useful for transferring Wii stuff over to the Wii U I went ahead and got the largest compatible hard drive. 2TB seems like overkill but I'll be future proofed and have room for many years to come. I also read that even though you can connect a 3TB, the Wii U will only recognize 2TB. It was also recommended that you get a hard drive that gets its power from a wall outlet. Nintendo can't guarantee that all hard drives powered by the Wii U via USB will work properly.

Oh yeah...I also got...a red 3DS XL!! Soon I'll transfer all my stuff and give my 3DS to my daughter.

Way to go on the XL purchase. Even tho, imo, i prefer the smaller one. :\

This has got to be the best launch game selection ever. I've never wanted so many games at launch and because of it, I have paid dearly. Here's what I have pulled down so far for my Wii U experience.

Hardware/Peripherals:
Wii U Deluxe Set
Pro Controller
n11 Headset
2 Microphones (1 included with Sing Party)

Games:
Nintendo Land
Madden NFL 13
NBA 2K13
Epic Mickey 2
Scribblenauts Unlimited
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2
Sing Party

There's still 4 games out now I want to get! I bought an extra Wii U Deluxe Set hoping to make back some of this shopping spree. I'm hoping demand starts to climb, I want to get $700-$1000 for this thing.

So far demand is luke warm I hear... :\

Yeah I saw some in store today blew my mind.

Launch pickup:

Zombie U
Call of Duty Black ops 2
Super Mario Bros U
Nintendo Land
and coming tomorrow: Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed ($7 after promo @ amazon ftw)

Turtle beach N11 headset
and I traded in a couple old regular wiimotes and got my daughter that pink motion plus one lol.

We're helping the games per console attachment ratio bigtime which is currently sitting at 2.4 games per Wii U, but should climb.

I have 3 retail and 3 downloaded! You're welcome Nintendo! lol
