Friday is always a great day to grab some games. It's a great way to kick off the weekend and get your hands on some totally non-essential things that you're more concerned about than your own health. So here are some pick-ups courtesy of the lovely What's on 2nd in Birmingham.
Not too dag-gum shabby. I had to calm myself and keep from spending a lot, as they had tons of new stuff in today. If I was still 21 years old I would have bought a ton more, charged it all on a credit card and not even worried about it until years later. But I'm older now, and have to worry about that now(thanks, 20-something me).
Star Wars: Rebel Assault for the Sega CD. I honestly don't know if it's a
decent game or not. I honestly don't care. I'm just starting to collect
for the Sega CD now and I love to play Star Wars games. So that
justifies this purchase.
Nights Into Dreams, the legendary Saturn game. I've had the sequel for
the Wii for a few years now, but refused to play it until I played this
bad boy first. Now I have no excuses. I probably should get the
3D controller though....so maybe I do have an excuse.
Sega Saturn Action Replay, so I can play...
Fire Pro Wrestling and Puzzle Bobble 2X! I got these for a pretty good
price too. I don't have many imports, but that will change as many of
the best Saturn games were never released here in the good ol' U.S. of
A.
Here are a few games I actually want to play on the Game Gear. I'm
hoping Shinobi II is comparable in some way to the Genesis Shinobi
games, which are pretty darn fun. I kinda pooped myself a little when I
saw Streets of Rage 2 sitting there. It's not a rare or expensive game
at all, but I just didn't want to ebay a copy. It's hard to find a good
lot of Game Gear games and usually with ebay'ing a cheap game you're
going through a lot of hoops for something so inexpensive. Shame on the
kid who wrote his name on the label! And I didn't really poop myself,
not even a little.
And as a special bonus....
Ian at What's on 2nd threw this in for me. A genuine Captain N: The Game Master VHS! I knew my Captain N handle would pay off one day. The box is in really good condition, which is not too surprising since it was probably watched once 20 years ago and sat on a shelf since then. Personally, I love the show. It's Nintendo, it's super cheesy, and it brings back lots of great memories. Captain N was also one of the last of the classic Saturday morning cartoons before the networks starting moving away from the traditional Saturday morning cartoon format. :( But anyways, I actually already own all of the Captain N episodes on DVD. I got them, along with all of the Super Mario Bros Super Show, from Shout! Factory a couple years back.
Enough rambling! Hopefully I will have another update or two this weekend, as I have a few sources bringing me the goodies I need. Until then, game on!
