Your recent game purchases (any console)

I picked up the new Batman and beat it this morning...9 hours to complerte and Im only qt 28% done. AWESOME game!

Saw a thing with the first ne bundled with this for like $20-more-than-standalone shoulda picked it up. :\

Not exactly a game purchase but I went ahead and extended my Nintendo Power subscription a year. It has been rumored that Future was going to cancel all their magazines so I'm doing my part to keep NP going.

Fun fact: Future US does game magazines for the other consoles too, but Nintendo Power has the most subscribers. Half a million strong.

Started on my quest to collect all the Skylander figurines. 32 total plus 3 legendary exclusives at Toys R Us. I started off with 9.

I just got Starfox, too! The graphics are definitely a huge improvement. Multiplayer is also better than in Command.

Still haven't picked up Starfox... pissed about lack of online multi...

Big baby...

Picked up Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure for the Wii. I originally heard rumors the Portal of Power would connect to the Wii via GameCube port so I was thankful to find out it is wireless and connects via USB dongle. Fun game. I'm looking forward to collecting all the figurines.

NP gives it a good, solid 7. I just do not have the cash to drop on a game like this, clever though it may be.

I bought Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door from ebay recently. Looking forward to it's arrival

You are really boosting up your GameCube collection. That's another 5 star game in my book too.

Anyone want to buy my Earthbound?

Already got it. If you got the players guide and box to go with it you can sell it for $330 - $500 on ebay depending on condition.

I have it, too. I don't know anyone willing to shell out enough to part with it these days... Damn kids and their Halo.

Picked up Kirby's Return to Dreamland and the multiplayer is really fun. Anyone that is not the first player can drop in and out, or switch characters at any time. Pretty easy game but at least you can die, unlike Epic Yarn. This one is way better.

Oh, and I also got CyberBike. Bike peripheral with a game. Compatible with most GameCube and Wii games. It plugs into the Wii via GameCube port. Very sturdy but I think I'm going to have to figure it out a bit more. I was a bit confused on one of the games where you are on a bike that flies in the air. The standard biking part I was doing just fine and the bike was working well.

Is it aspensive?

I'm ashamed to admit that I dropped $180 on that bike. The peripheral whore strikes again.

At least you'll get some exercise...



...right?

I'm going to try and work it into my weekly exercise routine which already consists of Wii Fit Plus, EA Sports Active, NFL Training Camp, and Your Shape.

I paid off the Zelda game with wiimote and Mario Land 3d today. And put 10 towards Mario Kart 7.

Somebody's gonna be in Nintendo heaven the next couple months.

Off topic: Do a google search for "do a barrel roll". lol.

Very nice, Triz.
'Bout to go pay off my Zelda bundle today and pre-order 3D Land if I still can. MK7 I'm holding off on reserving until I know if there is a reserve bonus or not.

Anyone know?

I havent heard of any bonus on Mario Kart, but I had already pre ordered Mario land before I know about the awesome keychain. Maybe they will announce it later.

Wha-huh?

I'm behind! Here's the games I've picked up recently:

Super Mario 3D Land

Wappydog

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

I'm sure most of us picked up 2 of those 3. Wappydog is a DS game that comes with the dog peripheral. It interacts with the game and comes with stickers so you can decorate it. Doesn't move as much as I thought it would. All it does is roll down its front paws so it's lying on its tummy and it can only turn its head to the right. The eyes and cheeks light up and there is a microphone and speaker on it. If you pet it on the tail or back it does different things. Pressing its nose does different things depending how many times you press it. As you play with it, your friendship grows, it learns more things and you unlock more games, toys, commands, etc. Daughter ate this up immediately. She put all the stickers on it and had to take it to bed with her. Still I think it's a bit shallow and limited.
