Super Mario Land for Gameboy. One of my favorite games of all time, and you can beat it consistently within half an hour or so. I've already played through it three times lol
I know it's simple and short, but sometimes that's just what a gamer needs!

And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)

Picked up Sonic and the Secret Rings at a thrift shop today for 3 bucks. Not too bad.
Also found a PS1 game called Perfect Weapon at a local comics/games/toys shop for $5. I'd never heard of it before but apparently it's a 3D action-adventure beat-em-up with pre-rendered backgrounds and tank controls. Looks absolutely terrible - proud to add it to my collection!
Made the dumbest financial decision I made in a long time and rebought a Wii U. For modding purposes, though I still bought a few games with it
The two big ones, Xenoblade X and Windwaker HD while they're still within my price range, though I get the feeling I'm going to regret the latter given it's still rumored to appear on the Switch at some point(and honestly I sorta believe it)
Obviously some Wii games, namely Smash Bros Brawl and Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, my two favorite titles when I still had it. Brawl I bought mostly for Project M mods, and for it's problems I still have a fun time with it, and I still want to give SSE another go. And TvC is just awesome, I still remember being incredibly hyped for it, especially when they announced MMX's Zero would be in it, somehow being the first time this version of him* ever appeared in a fighter
And lastly....Star Fox Zero. Now I bought this game at launch and I desperately wanted to like it, but in the end I just hated it. But it's been 7-8 years since then and I've been going on a Star Fox binge as of late, since it's one of the few Wii U games that's still very cheap(seriously you can get the full package for $20), I decided to give the game a second chance, because, again, I love this series, I wanna see it do well, and a part of me still wants to like this game
And, uh, right now it's not going so well
*I'm well aware of his appearance in SvC Chaos, but we don't talk about SvC Chaos
Earlier today i went to the bin novelty store at the mini mall and bought a Deikal "Retro" Handhel gaming system thats basically a chinese handheld copycat of the NES Mini Classic
the Deikal handheld ha "400" games including stuff like Dr Mario, Goonies 1, Tetris, Super Mario Bros 3, Ninja Gaiden 1, Burger Time, Gradius, Lifeforce, Golf and others. I kind of like it since it has Super Mario Bros 3 and i think the chinese retro consoles dont have Super Mario Bros 3 last time i played a month ago or so.
the Deikal handheld I like since its navy blue colored and in the shape of a Gameboy
Went for a sleuth around a lot of Dublin's retro game stores in the hunt for something for my Wii/PS3 and came back with an absolutely insane list of pickups!
I'll be posting my thoughts on the three PS3 games over on Push Sqaure but as for the two Wii games I grabbed:
Donkey Kong Country Returns: Ever since the rumours of new Donkey Kong game started swirling many months ago, I've been slowly working my way through the DKC series so that I'd be prepared if it were to get announced (plus it gave me an excuse to finally try and complete one of my favourite series of platformers so that also helped) and, ever since I finally beat DKC3 back in June, I've been keeping a close eye on Returns until the time was right to swoop in and pick it up. Thankfully, it was one of the games available at the shops I visited and I was able to grab it for a handy €18.
Super Paper Mario: I played the original Paper Mario for the first time near the end of 2021 when it dropped on NSO and it's never really left my mind since. I loved the characters, the world, the gameplay, it all felt like such a cosy RPG and it's made me want to try out every other entry in the series as a result (regardless of how closely they adhere to the RPG structure of the first two games). Super was a high priority for me because of this as I remember getting absolutely obsessed with the characters/story of it as a kid when watching videos on it (Count Bleck & Tippi my beloved) and always wanted to properly experience it someday which I'm now finally able to do....once I actually beat the original PM (I'M A FAKE FAN I KNOW).
So yeah: a stellar lineup of games that I cannot wait to play for the first time after getting through some of my other backlog

Oh, I bought Paper Mario TTYD from my local online shopping website Tokopedia.
There was a seller in my country Indonesia who have Paper Mario TTYD on sale with other games.
I bought Paper Mario TTYD for Rp 1,500,000 or around US$ 99, the cheapest price option from my country.
It still very expensive purchase for me as I have ever did the same thing from EBay such as Pokemon Black 2 NDS with price Rp 1,500,000 and Earthlock Switch with price Rp 1,250,000.
The other case I bought from Tokopedia such as Star Fox Adventures for Rp 1,200,000 and Bomberman Generation for Rp 1,000,000.
Use converter from IDR (Indonesia Rupiah) to USD if you want to see the conversion.
Man...
Some of my GameCube games bought by tears and tons of money.
@Anti-Matter Considering I've seen TTYD go for as much as $250 in some cases, I think you got an absolute bargain by comparison
Also yeah; trying to get Gamecube games these days is rough. Been thinking about getting the original Luigi's Mansion for a while and the 'cheapest' listing is €55 😬
