The New "Games I Bought" Thread -- Copied For Your Enjoyment

[A Black Falcon]

Anyway, after seeing Earthworm Jim GBA in action recently, I have to say I'm rather disappointed with how many GBA ports look worse than their Genesis/SNES counterparts. There's the new HD version which looks amazing and has a new co-op mode (the final boss is Keyboard Cat), but the new voices they inexplicably replaced for Jim are pretty bad, and the Sega CD Bonus Level wasn't added. That's actually one issue I have with a lot of modern remakes. They remake the original version of the game, but bonus content from other special editions gets ignored in favor of different bonus content. That's one thing to say about Ocarina of Time on 3DS, they put in Master Quest.

Good point indeed, I agree. It's quite annoying how often remakes aren't based off of the best versions of games and don't include bonus content that older versions had, and some of the Earthworm Jim releases are fine examples of that (GBA for sure). And I agree, it's great that OoT 3D does include the Master Quest.

Gotten today...

Wii

Penny Racers Party: Turbo Q Speedway - $6, complete

GBA - these three games are all Japanese import games I found in a local store. $5 each, carts only. They had some more GBA import titles, but nothing else good...
--
Elevator Action Old & New - Not bad, I wasn't sure if I was going to like this but it's okay. Better than Elevator Action Returns maybe?
Super Mario Advance - SMB USA, with those enhancements like some big sprites, etc.
Wai Wai Racing (Konami Krazy Racers) - Konami kart racing game, and GBA launch title. It's good.

NES

Time Lord - $1.50, with plastic rental-style case

Sega CD

Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective + Sega Classics 4-in-1 -- This was part of the original Sega CD packin package, along with Sol-Feace (which I also have), a music CD and a CD+G disc. This came with the Sherlock Holmes manual as well as the two discs in the dual cardboard case (each game has a cover on one side). I know that in the 4-in-1, which includes Revenge of Shinobi, Columns, Golden Axe, and Streets of Rage, Golden Axe has no multiplayer but may have added CD audio... I'll have to check it out. I think this was a pretty cool find that I'm happy to have.
