Super Mario Virtual Console games are on sale this week on the eShop. I just bought Super Mario World (again), and it looks great on the Upad. SD LCD screens are ideal for retro games.

yep. Also I was impressed it doesn't look like crap on the big screen.

I just picked up the Elder Scrolls Anthology at Gamestop's Black Friday sale for $40. The collection was going for $80 to $90 just 2 months ago. I'm so happy with this steal that I'm not even going to play it (though the maps are pretty). Looks like it'll end up being a present for the oldest kid since I know she plays the series.

I just bought Pikmin 3. *facepalm* That's it! The last game I buy for the rest of the year! I swear!

* Hmm, I wonder if my local Best Buy has any PS4s?*

^ After playing the demo, I definitely would not. I hope you enjoy it, though. Happy

Pikmin 3 was a full price eShop purchase. I saw no sales on Pikmin 3. Sad

Still, it's Black Friday and it's YOU; there are some traditions we should try and uphold here!

I liked the demo well enough. It wasn't great, but it genuinally scared me and made me jump. I always said when it got to hobo level pricing I'd grab it. I don't see it getting much cheaper than $9. That'll be worth it in my book.

The only thing that scared me in the demo was the clunky Upad controls.

I have huge buyer's remorse after going on a games shopping therapy online spree last week or so.  Recap of all I bought:

  • Mario 3D World (was pre-ordered, I want it, I will play it, no remorse
  • Zelda: Link Between Worlds (was pre-ordered, I want it so bad ... hell no remorse)
  • XCOM: Enemy Unknown (cheap, hope to play it, I will definitely give it a try)
  • Skyrim (cheap, does anybody want this?)
  • Metal Gear Solid: Revengeance (cheap, have so many games of this type - want to like them but most time I can't get interested enough)
  • DmC: Devil May Cry (same again as Revengeance)
  • Modern Warfare III (this now makes it at least half a dozen of these game which I've yet to play a single one of)
  • Bioshock Infinite (Leo and reviews made me do this.  I will play it when I finish the other two Grinning )
  • Rayman: Legends (I want it a lot, got it the minute it was price reduced before the WiiU version disappeared forever ... real happy about this one)
  • The Wonderful 101 (full price but don't feel too bad about this)

edit:  I knew I'd forgotten something

  • Dragon's Dogma - Dark Arisen (I may actually try this as it's been compared to Dark Souls)
  • Wii Party U (Shut Up!  Just stop it!  This was actually cheaper than buying a controller alone)

Well I guess you and your big balls are just more manly than little ole me now aren't you? Mister "Balls as Tough As Old Bubble Gum" Raven just can't be scared by anything! Little Robio cowers in the corner playing ZombiU while Raven wheels his giant balls in a wheel barrell not being scared of nuthin and not playing ZombieU cuz he's too busy enslaving little Pikmin!

There's no shame in buying Wii Party U. Wii Party was a little too simplistic, but Party U looks to be a bit better, and they are genuinally fun games to play with friends who aren't necessarily gamers.

I just grabbed Space Harrier for the 3DS. I really don't need more games right now, but I couldn't help myself and I'm glad I couldn't. Sega has fucking NAILED the 3-D in this game. I had the 3-D effect cranked up to about 75% and there was no strain on my eyes at all. It is a perfect port of the arcade game right down to the obnoxious gear stick control (push up to go down, and down to go up). This was just done so well that I'm very tempted to check out Super Hang On now, and whatever other 3-D games Sega has on the way.

The latest game I got was Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins from the 3DS Virtual Console for less than $3.

If I had more on my eShop wallet I would have picked up Space Harrier 3D.

SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:

  • SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)
  • Storm the Castle (77BD-0000-00E0-A9C0)
