So what have I gotten since my last post in this thread? Quite a lot.
Most importantly, those other orders I mentioned finally arrived. They arrived within days of eachother, but I did NOT buy all of this expensive stuff in the same month -- the Goat Store order (below) I ordered back in January, it just took a while to arrive.
The other order is from February. I finally went for it and, for $470, bought a 4TB SSD (a Samsung 870 Evo) and case for it (Startech.com case, $30) to add a fast external SSD to my Xbox Series X. It's ... yes, it was just as expensive as the console, but the speed improvement for BC games and Xbox S|X games that run on external drives is massive. If you can afford it it's worth it, I think.
And now on to the games.
First, some digital Nintendo platform games, mostly from Switch eshop sales.
BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle Special Edition [game + all DLC bundle] Nintendo Switch, NS - DD (eShop) 02/18/21 On Sale $26.00
Double Dragon 4 Nintendo Switch, NS - DD (eShop) 02/18/21 On Sale $3.50
Micro Pico Racers Nintendo Switch, NS - DD (eShop) 02/18/21 On Sale $2.25
Moero Chronicle Hyper Nintendo Switch, NS - DD (eShop) 02/18/21 On Sale $8.00
Reknum Nintendo Switch, NS - DD (eShop) 02/18/21 $2.00
Pocky & Rocky with Becky [Virtual Console - GBA] Wii U - DD (eShop) Natsume Action (Topdown) 02/18/21 $7.00
Next, this is that Goat Store order I mentioned. The Goat Store is a webstore that sells games. The order took a while to arrive, and they kind of couldn't find three of the games (so I got a refund for those purchase prices), but otherwise I was quite satisfied, I'll buy there again. The condition listings on their website are quite conservative, things all came in good condition I would say! This stuff all finally arrived on 2/24, almost a month after the order.

Next there are a couple of digital Xbox games I've gotten in the last month or two I should list.
Blizzard Classic Arcade Collection - Xbox One - DD - 02/24/21, $20.00. I got this new because it's a quite impressive collection, sure the three games we've all seen before - it's Blizzard's three games they always re-release with none of the less common ones - but it contains multiple versions! You get the SNES and Genesis/32X versions of all three titles, plus also new redone versions that have new features. Really cool stuff. Plus there's a bunch of historical documentation stuff as well.
Destiny 2: Beyond Light Ultimate Edition Xbox Series X|S / Xbox One - DD - got this back in January for $53, on sale. I probably shouldn't have but decided to anyway.
And last, the physical games I've gotten over the past few weeks. The first is from ebay but the rest I got locally.
Invaders from Hyperspace! - Odyssey 2 02/24/21, from ebay, Complete, for like $8. I got this in addition to the goat store one because I really prefer to have the cases for the O2, they have some of the best boxart ever. This game's cheap and well worth also getting.
