Art of Fighting Anthology - PS2 - $7 - complete. Not SNK's best fighting games ever, but good enough ones to be worth such a low price I think. I generally like SNK's later Neo-Geo fighting games better than the earlier ones, but that's so cheap that I couldn't refuse... well, the game had been there for some time, but with it not selling for long enough I couldn't refuse. :) And Art of Fighting 2 and 3 are good games... not great, but good. It's not much like newer SNK fighting games either graphically or moves-wise -- you have only a few moves each instead of many -- though, so yeah, neither is a match for their best stuff. I like that complexity, generally. For simpler fighting games though they are good, if hard.
I think I will pass on the similarly-priced Fatal Fury collection 1, though. I don't know, I like Fatal Fury even less than Art of Fighting... it's funny, Garou (Fatal Fury 8) is amazing, but the older ones, with their worse graphics, limited rosters, odd two-line system, etc, just don't match up.
I also picked up a Wii game, though yes I don't have one... Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, for $35. That's about what it's worth online, and it's the first copy of the game I have seen in a long time. I'll definitely own a Wii sometime in the not-that-distant future, and I'll want this game then because it's been #1 on my must-get list for the Wii ever since it came out, and this will solve a lot of frustration at then having to buy a copy online or something... so yeah, that is awesome that I found a copy.
I'm also thinking about Metroid Prime Trilogy, because it is just $35 there, but I don't know, I could just get Metroid Prime 3 for a lot less later on when I get the system, and forget about 1 and 2 on Wii... I don't really need those. But that Trilogy's not going to go down in price anytime soon, I expect, what with it being discontinued now, so maybe... hmm. Not now, I think, but we'll see.
