Yeah, that's a weird game. I have a complete copy I got some years ago, but never did play a lot of it... but it's definitely strange, and multi-genre.

Gravity Rush - $16, complete. I went to a few places today, but a bunch of them are from a Gamestop a bit farther away that I hadn't been to before, but went to in part because they had this game. I really want to play it. Fortunately I also found a bunch of other interesting things there.
Tearaway - $8, complete
Toukiden Kiwami - $16, cart in generic case - Yes, it's yet another third person action game with Monster Hunter inspirations, on a Sony handheld! What a surprise! ... I tried the demo of Toukiden 2 on Vita though and liked it, so I'd been thinking of getting this enhanced version of the first game, and now did.

Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival - $4, new. This is the complete game, with two Amiibos, 3 Amiibo cards, and its outer box. You need an Animal Crossing Amiibo for every player in order to play this apparently-boring board game, which is pretty annoying, but for this cheap I went ahead and got it.
Monster High: 13 Wishes - $8, complete. This licensed kids' game is a 3d platformer, so for some really weird reason I've wanted to play it. I don't know. The licensed console game was dying fast by the time this came out, which makes them more interesting than they were on, say, the Gamecube or such...

Skate City Heroes - $2.40, complete. This super low budget game looks bad, but I hope it's the amusing kind of bad.
Deepak Chopra's Leela - $2.40, complete. And this one looks weird and unique.
Obscure: The Aftermath - $4, complete
Xbox 360
--
Midway Arcade Origins - $12, complete. This collection includes 30 Midway games, which may seem pointless given that I have all of them for other formats, but this does have nice stuff like online leaderboards and such that I don't have for these games, so I finally got this.
The Darkness - $2.40, complete (I have the second game but not this first one...)
Limbo / 'Splosion Man / Trials HD Triple Pack - $4, complete. I actually don't have the latter two games in this pack, surprisingly enough, and only have Limbo on PC. I got a bunch of the 360 collections like this years ago, but not this one... happy to have it now.
Playstation 3
--
Enchanted Arms - $5.60, complete. This game was first released on X360, so I'd always meant to get that version of it, but I never did and the PS3 version has some added content, so after getting a PS3 I decided to get this version of it sometime. Finally found one and actually got it.
Xbox One
--
Has-Been Heroes - $7, new. This indie game from last year looks good and was cheap. It's apparently hard.
Nintendo DS

Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 - $8, cart only. This middle entry in the Trauma Center series is the only DS-exclusive one, and while I have the Wii games I didn't have this one. It's not something I see too often so this time I got it.
The other thing I did recently was I went to the Toys R Us near here, to see if they had anything interesting. I never have regularly gone to Toys R Us, since there wasn't one in our town growing up and after that it didn't have much to interest me over other stores, but I was just wondering if there'd be anything... and there wasn't much, apart from some cheap Skylanders and Amiibo stuff. I ended up getting like five Skylanders Superchargers vehicles for a dollar each, three Skylanders characters for $0.50 to $1.50, a Lego Dimensions Laval set for about $4 (Lego stuff costs more, smaller discount), and a Palutena Amiibo for under $3. They had a whole lot of the Palutena Amiibos, and only a handful of other ones, none marked down anywhere near that much. So I got this one because it's a nice figure. I don't have many Amiibos, but I have been meaning to get a few more... though I guess I did double my number of them now, given the above purchase of Animal Crossing Wii U which comes with two.
As for other Toys to Life stuff, at one of the Gamestops I got an E.T. Lego Dimensions figure set for $6, and a Skylanders Superchargers Kaos Trophy for $0.50. Most of Gamestop's Lego Dimensions stuff is also not marked down much, but this one was to an extent.
Oh, when at Toys R Us I was wondering if they still had any consoles, and as of today they didn't. I went there once about two weeks ago, and at that point consoles were 5% off, and they still had some including Switches. I thought about it a bit but didn't get one. Now consoles are 30% off, and they are understandably sold out. I wonder if there were stages in between those two very different numbers, or if it went to 30% off and some people got very good deals... who knows. (Lego stuff is only 15% off even now. It's understandable it's got a lower discount than other things...)
Quote: If something falls through the cracks, so be it. I only have this one life.That's reasonable. As for me though... I can't help it, I want to know. And then buy some of the things I see. :p
