I haven't gotten nearly as much recently, but have picked up a few games...
3DS
--
Monster Hunter Stories - $7, card only. This is a pretty good price for this late DS RPG. This game is a spinoff of Capcom's Monster Hunter franchise which is a traditional RPG instead of an action-RPG. It has very nice graphics for the 3DS and a maybe too simple rock-paper-scissors-inspired battle system, but seems good.
DS
--
Neves - $4, card only. This is a tangram-style puzzle game.
Nintendo Switch
--
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night - $25, complete - I probably should have gotten this on PC or Xbox, but this version is a bit cheaper and supposedly has been patched, so hopefully it's better now than it was at launch.
Psyvariar Delta - $20, new
Xbox One
--
Anthem - $9, complete ... why not. I have to know...
Saturn - all three of these games are scratched up, but (at least mostly) working. They would have cost more in good condition.
--
Andretti Racing - $5, complete. This disc has a few points where you can see light through it so it'll probably crash somewhere, but I played a few races and they worked, so it's not a total loss. The game is mediocre though, doubt I'll be playing too much of it...
NASCAR '98 - $5, complete. Particularly when I got this game at the same time. NASCAR may be unexciting, but with a racing wheel this game is fun, and it plays well. The game has much better graphics than Andretti Racing (note: both games are from EA), much shorter load times, better controls and gameplay, and a much smaller save file. It's got fantastic box art, too -- the way the cars go over the usually solid white bar on the left side of the cover is really cool. I'd been wanting this game for its box and it's great to have it. This game's alright, if you have a wheel.
True Pinball - $15, complete. This one would go for at least twice this much in better shape, but as it is I'll just be lucky if it runs... though this Digital Illusions pinball game looks fairly average, like all their titles, so at least it's not an amazing game with a disc all scratched up.
