Xenoblade - new, $50. Yeah, I got a new game just as it came out, something I virtually never do... mostly because I do want to play it, and I expect this to get a bit rarer (and more expensive) unless it gets reprinted... we'll see.
Used games - it was buy 2 get 1 free at Gamestop this weekend, so while I was there to get Xenoblade I got this stuff too.

MLB Power Pros 2008 - the second, and last, Konami Powapuro baseball game released in the US. I'd been wanting to try one of these... :)
Gamecube

PK: Out of the Shadows - free, would have been $3. 3d action/platform game starring a Donald Duck alias. Supposed to be short and not too great, but for that cheap... eh, why not.
The Italian Job - free, would have been $5. Racing game.
Lego Drome Racers - $4. I got the PC version of this game back in the early '00s, and liked it (it's from the same developer who made Rollcage, so it's good), but I'd always had an interest in getting the GC version too... finally found a copy. :)
DS

Super Speed Machines - $11.70, complete. Topdown racing game that was released as Top Gear: Downshift in Australia, and nearly not released here (because Kemco died) until Majesco picked it up and gave it this new title. I'd been wanting this one for sure, ever since I first heard of it...
Desktop Tower Defense - free, would have been $7. Conversion of the great PC flash game, with additional stuff.
PSP
--
PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe - $4.50. Disc in generic case. Sony's tower defense game, I've played the demo and liked it (though not as much as Desktop Tower Defense, this uses the "set path" style, while DTD lets you make your own field, which I much prefer. Still, it's fun.)
After Burner: Black Falcon - $4.50. Complete. Sega rail shooter.
Pursuit Force - $2.60, disc in generic case. I had the sequel, but not the first one. Good fun.
These aren't from Gamestop (obviously), so no buy 2 get 1 free here.
Game Gear
--
Road Runner in Desert Speedtrap - $2, cart only. A platformer where you can run fast, out of control pretty much, and straight into obstacles and where you only have a few hit points? Yes indeed, it's kind of frustrating.
Game Boy/GB Color Dual Mode
--
Shanghai Pocket - $2, cart only
Game Boy Color
--
Lemmings - $2, cart with an original GB case. Port of the original I have for several other systems (but it's a great game so I couldn't resist anyway). It does have battery save, which is nice.
Pong: The Next Level - $2, cart with an original GB case. GB version of the new Pong game from the late '90s. The PC/PSX game's fun, hopefully this is as well.
SNES

Suzuka 8 Hours - $4, cart only - racing game.
