With that Nintendo Prepaid card I purchased on Friday I got Super Mario World and Earthbound.

I just bought Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Wii U for $43. This was a surprisingly difficult game to find. None of my usual retailers had it in stock, not even used. I had to order it through an Amazon seller, which I usually don't do, but they had excellent feedback and it'll be fulfilled by Amazon themselves, so I still get my free 2-day Prime shipping. I should have it on Wednesday.

Strictly speaking I didn't "buy" a game.  I bought this, though, which allows me to play wii fit indefinitely ... which I hope to do as I've put on a lot of weight recently and my physical conditioning is the worst it's been in a considerable time.

I have been doing pretty well with it, good stuff.

Edge falls off the wagon:

Am I doing this right? It was a very fruitful post-Christmas spend-your-gift-cards-and-cash period. All the more reason to not need a PS4 yet.

First five games were dirt cheap at my local used game store ($10, $19, free thanks to in-store promotion, $12, $15). Child of Eden and the N64 games were gifts. Until now I'd never played the original SSB, Melee was always my drug of choice.

Thanks. Didn't quite go down as such, though. I went to a cousin's house Christmas night and I noticed his new N64 collection. He said he'd gotten a few dozen games from a friend of his for next to nothing, and I guess he noticed how taken I was with all of them 'cause he offered me my pick of games to "make up for the times [he'd] broken games of [mine.]" He had multiple copies of SSB and Mario Kart 64 in the piles (I already own MK64) and I think 4 copies of the first three Mario Parties, so I picked MP3, the only one he had 2 of. I also remember liking South Park 64 so that one was a given since it was free, and I almost also grabbed his copy of NHL '99 only to remember at the last minute that it was the PC version of NHL '99 I used to own.

I had a $10 credit on PSN. I told myself I was going to buy Spelunky.... I ended up with Katamari Damacy. I had a moment of weakness AND I REGRET NOTHING!!!!!!!!1

That's good to know. Besides, I've pretty much lived by the idea that Katamari is all that is good and right in the world of gaming. It'd be damned near unAmerican and ungamerly to not get it.

Probably the only game I bought based off of what the back cover said.  I regret nothing as well!!

I bought Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Bioshock Infinite and Dark Souls: prepare to die edition earlier this month on steam.  Haven't gotten around to playing any of them yet, although Infinite is downloading as we speak.
