First, this game released yesterday, and I bought it day one. I probably shouldn't because I still haven't played the last one all THAT far in, but I did, and don't regret it because it did come with a few neat launch bonuses and I love the series.
3DS
--
Etrian Odyssey Nexus - $38, new. This so-far-final Etrian Odyssey game brings back lots of classes and characters from all of the previous EO games, combined into one title. EO is a fantastic series and it's sad that Nintendo is abandoning the dual-screen design that is central to this series, but at least it's going out with what sounds like a great final game. Also the launch version comes with an added little artbook and a pin of one of the NPCs, so that's neat. It's no match for the big artbook that came with EO3 as its launch bonus, but it's nice.
Also...
CD-I
--
Accelerator - $40, complete (jewelcase), from ebay. This is a Europe-only CD-I racing game released in '97, near the end of the system's life. I got it because it's a futuristic racing game with overhead, RC Pro-Am-esque gameplay and I like that concept, and because the game is uncommon and this was a good price for it. I played it some and the game is okay but not great, but it's very cool to have. Also, it gets me a FOURTH type of CD-I game case... why are there so many different types of CD-I cases, Phillips? It's a little odd. I like this one though, it's a standard jewelcase but with custom CD-I moldings. That's better than the standard jewelcases of the later US releases I have.
Additionally, I got these a few weeks ago but hadn't listed them.
Wii U DD (eShop) - these games were all on sale for super cheap and I ended up getting all of this devs' Wii U titles. They're simple but decent enough that why not...

Super Destronaut - $1
Super Destronaut 2: Go Duck Yourself - $1
Toon Tanks - $1
Laser Blaster - $1
Christmas Adventure of Rocket Penguin - $1
Land It Rocket - $1.50
Funky Physics - $1
Also I got some digital Switch games last week as well, also mostly games that were on sale. (The prices are the sale prices unless nopted)
Switch - DD (eShop)
--
Mutant Mudds Collection - $3 - I have the two main games in this collection for other platforms, but not a puzzle game that is exclusive to the collection, so I got this.
SEGA AGES Phantasy Star - $6 - A port of the original Phantasy Star? Eh. A port of the game with an added, really nice automap on screen? That's awesome! And that is what this is. The game is still incredibly, tediously grindey, but the added map makes it much more playable.
Jumping Joe & Friends - $0.50
Robonauts - $0.50
VSR: Void Space Racing - $0.50
Arcade Archives: Sky Skipper - $8 (this one is the one that is full price). Sky Skipper is an early Nintendo arcade game, and it's an okay game.. and definitely better here than in that Atari 2600 version I have. This is the first ever US release of the arcade version of the game, too, so I had to have it.

36 Fragments of Midnight - $1.50 - The other Midnight games are touch puzzle games, but this one's a platformer. Huh. It's alright though.
