New games over Christmas:

-Yoshi's Island DS
-Cooking Mama
-Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop 2

These games are a lot of fun to play! I'd love to have more video game swag, not just the games themselves, but it seems to be lacking in this country and guys always get the cool Nintendo character T-shirts.

I have my Wii, therefore I now add Wii Sports to my recent gaming purchases since it is packed with the system. ^_^

I will have to comment more on the system and the games later since (a) I got the system not long before work and (b) another thing happened that has prevented me from really enjoying this (hell, I've barely opened the box) when just getting that which I don't feel like talking about. I'm just glad I have the system now so I can enjoy it when the time is right.

I got Glamour Life Stuff, Family Fun Stuff, Open for Business, Nightlife and Pets for The Sims 2. I can't for Seasons to come out.

A correction from earlier, it was 4,000 Wii points my brother gave me, it was two of them taped together real well. o.o

In any case, I have used 2,000 of them. Legend of Zelda: Link tot he Past went up today so I had to, and a couple nights ago I relived the lost memories of the TurboGrafix-16 era by getting Bomerman 93 (there is no such thing as a bad Bomberman and I hadn't played this yet) and Bonk's Adventure (played at a kid's house down the street many a year ago).

Meh, if MK64 had online tweaks I'd have downloaded it on the spot. Until then my cart works just fine.

To actually add to the thread, I got Final Fantasy VI Advance today. It's my favorite FF and it's great to see a good release of it after the terrible PSX port. I can't wait to see everything they did, such as the new espers and dungeons. I'm curious to see the new translation, and have already noted two changes n the first 15 minutes. XD I am sad that we didn't get a guide for it in the store though, especially since I can't find my FFA guide right now. =/

Dave and I won't be making any gaming purchases for a WHILE after today, but.

We got a Wii bundle ordered. 4 games with it, but we're only keeping two and will eBay the others. We're keeping Twilight Princess and Trauma Center. :D

Also, I ordered FFVI Advance for myself. I'll finally finish it - 3rd time WILL be a charm. ;)

One of the games that went up today was Kirby's Adventure for the NES, and since I love the Kirby side-scrollers and haven't played this one yet, I decided to download it. Still waiting for SMRPG to go up though.

Also to save myself from making a post tomorrow, I have Wii Play on reserve which I'll be picking up when it arrives at my store. It'll be nice having an extra Wii-mote finally that comes with it. ^_^

Not much of a gamer, but I saw The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge at Wal-mart for $8 and had to get it. I've seen some demos of the game and it looks pretty good. Plus they got most of the original voice actors back (except for Jack's singing voice and Sally). I probably won't get to play it until the end of April though.

Dynasty Warriors 4.

Awesome game and it really goes a lot more into the "other" characters then 3 did.

I recently got these games; Final Fantasy XII, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and King of Fighters: Maximum Impact. All three are pretty fun and awsome.

I dunno. I was just looking at it and I suddenly got this urge to get inside. No, not just an urge - more than that. It was my destiny to be here; in the box. And then when I put it on, I suddenly got this feeling of inner peace. I can´t put it into words. I feel... safe. Like this is where I was meant to be. Like I´d found the key to true happiness.

Sorry for being off-topic, but I think that this is actually a little relevant to the Video Game topic somehow. Just ONE DAY after I got my new stylist, my sisters lose it on me. Ha ha ha ha ha ha! My luck sucks!

I got the two Castlevania games for the Nintendo DS, although I don't own a DS, yet, because I'm waiting for the price of the DS to go down.

I just bought Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.

Its not a bad game but it is a bit tediuos with the "empire" stuff and how your under almost constant attack from the other gangs. It makes it hard to get missions started when you constantly have to drive all the way across the map to get to the place being attacked.

Anyway if your a fan of the GTA3 series of games then you should get this one to.

My recent purchases have been Resident Evil Zero and Super Smash Brothers Melee for the Cube. I play them on the Wii I got for Christmas. I also have a pre-order for Pokemon Pearl
