Games Bought Thread 3

[A Black Falcon]

So what have I been getting this year so far?  Some digital stuff of moderate interest, and a few physical games mostly not the greatest, pretty much.  Nothing super exciting really, so far, though some are good and well worth playing.

First, various Nintendo platform digital games.  As you see I started buying some random 3DS and Wii U games that interest me before the shutdown was announced.  I'm sure I will be buying more over time.  There are some games I wanted but hadn't gotten because I was hoping they would go on sale, but that's not happening for a lot of titles, so for some I decided to buy them before they get delisted or something...

And now some PS4 and Xbox stuff.  You will notice here that I bought several games I already own on other platforms -- I got the Xbox One versions of the Contra and Castlevania collections and Star Wars Squadrons, even though I have those elsewhere (Switch and PC, respectively), because I wanted the best console versions of those Konami collections and that's definitely playing them on my Series XZ and not my Switch, and because I wanted to play Star Wars Squadrons in 4k on my TV and not only on my PC.  Similarly, I got the PS4 version of the modern Gauntlet game even though I have it for PC (got that years ago) because I wanted that on console, and it's only on PS4 on consoles unfortunately.  It's definitely a game more designed for console than PC.  it was on sale too.  Rez Infinite... it has a new exclusive mode, probably is worth getting.  And such.

Then about a week and a half ago I got some physical games for the first time since December.  There's nothing too exciting here, though Cultures 2 is a solid The Settlers-style game.  Also, I'm now up to 298 NES games.  Both of the games I got here are solid, but I'd really like to make that into a round 300, soon!  There are still lots of great NES games I don't own, so it'll go up from there, but I definitely need to get two more NES games soon.

And lastly, last week I got some more physical games.  Nothing too exciting here, though I guess finding that RE game for $2 was interesting?
