Nice boxed NGPC games. All of my NGPC games are loose.

I was salivating over some complete WonderSwan games at PAX but the prices were way too high (like $45 each). No thanks.

I really like collecting CIB for NGPC cuz it stops me from just buying ANYTHING cheaply. Instead I have to wait for good deals to come along, and then seeing a minty complete NGPC game in my hand is like 'woah.'

Punch Out Wii U VC - £0.30
HarmoKnight 3DS eShop - £12.99
Total: £34.57 - 10 games

The actual expenditure this month seems higher than it should to me, because I've not really gone crazy buying things.

It was a download heavy month. As far as physical purchases go, Patapon was an ebay purchase where £2.50 of the price was the postage cost and Every Extend Extra was a cheap purchase from a pawn shop. DoDonPachi was a game I jumped on for the price, even though I don't own the system. Luckily my girlfriend does, so I have had the chance to play it at least

The 3 PSP downloads (Piyotama, Wild Arms and Patchwork Heroes) were all offered for free by Sony, Shock Troopers cost 900 Wii points, but conveniently enough I discovered I'd forgotten I had 900 points on my Wii shop account anyway, so it didn't really set me back anything this month. Punch-Out was this months 30p Wii U VC game, so that didn't really cost me much either.

My two biggest real expenditures were HarmoKnight and Little Inferno on the eShops. Little Inferno I jumped on whilst it was half price as I was curious, and HarmoKnight I kinda spoiled myself with, because I love handheld rhythm games. It's a bit pricy, but I figured why not.

I don't see a huge expenditure for next month either, money is still tight. I do have Fire Emblem on order for the 19th though, so that'll be £30 straight away, and there'll at least be another 30p VC game to enjoy. I'll be fine for games if the big games companies want to keep throwing out cheap or free downloads all the time.

How are you liking Sonic Dash dsheinem?

I want to get it, but I have to wait for the android version, which currently has a release date of "you know, whenever".

it is my go to 3D endless runner right now and it is well enough made, but I'd be surprised if I am playing it with any regularity in another month or so.

[CFFJR]

Makes sense. I enjoyed Sonic Jump, but I never even came close to finishing it.

Glad to hear its alright though.

7800
Fatal Run

I'd go with that one. Looked pretty fun from what I've seen.
