So that copy of Gravity Rush I got last week doesn't work, so I went to a different Gamestop not too far from here to get a working copy. While I was there I found some other interesting stuff (mostly from there, but not all)...
PS1
--
Fade to Black - $5, complete
Vita
--
Utuwarerumono: Mask of Deception (LE) - $20, new. This is the first of two games in this series on Vita, and it's apparently one part visual novel and one part strategy game. The Vita has a lot of stuff kind of like this and this one looks maybe interesting enough to try. The art book it comes with is nice too.
(Also of course working Gravity Rush)
Nintendo DS
--
Fossil Fighters - $4, cart only
Red Bull BC One - $0.80, cart only - I'd never heard of this but for that price I decided to try it. It's weird and not that great, but at least it's weird...
Super Monkey Ball Touch n Roll - $5.60, cart only - I'd always been interested in this, but never got it... touch should be great for Monkey Ball.
Nintendo 3DS
--
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask - $20, cart only. The 3DS Layton games are kind of hard to find, so since I actually saw this I had to get it. It's a very good series...
Wii U
--
Rayman Legends - $12, complete. I know I have this in X1 GwG, but that only kind of counts, and anyway the Wii U version is the original version of the game, with some Wii U Gamepad integration you don't get on other platforms.
Switch
--
Super Bomberman R - $30, complete. This game got a mixed reception, but it's always been one of the Switch games I most wanted to play, so since I found this used copy I got it.
Additionally I got the Switch Joy-Con battery pack adapter things new, on sale. I don't know, the added size they add to the joycons seems like it could be nice, to give a bit more size to the small things. Additionally these will be important in the future as those controller batteries start holding less of a charge... Oh, and it's one of the two ways of charging joycons without putting them in the system -- you need either this or a charging grip, and having to take those stupid rail things off each time is a pain and joycons are just too small without them, so hopefully this helps with that.
And lastly I got a Hori Switch Pro Controller, used, for $15. It doesn't have rumble, an Amiibo sensor, or, sadly, motion controls, but it is a wired controller with good build quality and a turbo button, so it'll probably be useful. Plus it has a d-pad, unlike joycons.
