I'd be tempted to pick up a Polymega if they add Dreamcast support, something which they haven't definitively ruled out yet according to their new website FAQs.

Yes, I'm aware of that. But Saturn, Neo Geo CD, Mega CD, and PC Engine CD Rom are enough for me.

I've never played any of the Samurai Showdown games before so this package was a good incentive - I see VI is also on the PS4 store so I will wait for a sale on that one too.

Been tracking down odd and end PS3 games I still don't have, heard Starhawk is good and I like the idea of 3D Beat Em Ups so I thought I'd give the Watchmen game a try - It's Co-op too!

I also got The House of the Dead 3 & 4 off the PlayStation store too!

Got a LOT of Vita games incoming, some have already arrived but I shall reveal once they all do hopefully by next week :)

Just wondering where you got the Vita games from? CeX I assume? Been collecting for it for a few years and am kicking myself that I didn't just buy everything that was left at Game about a year ago. Prices at CeX have just shot up now, and most stores don't even have any lol.

Interested to see what you picked up :D

Wow, great pickup! Hope you didn't break the bank on it.

Enjoy it, it is a FANTASTIC game. Hard though, VERY hard.

Yeah have already played a few levels and it is really great fun. Very difficult but really great fun. The atmosphere is also great. As a fan of both franchises that is big plus.

And no I watched the market for quite some time for that game and I could get it cheaper than usual. Had to pay 40 british pound which is still quite expensive but it was cheaper than the 70 plus Euro it is offered normally.

Got these in the mail today. Had played the first briefly on PS4 but eventually decided I want the uncensored experience instead.

Also found out there’s a physical version of Final Fantasy IX for Switch so I’m waiting on that to get here. I think I got to the end of disc 1 on the PS3 download version but the load times were ass. Even so probably tied with IV or VI for my favorite in the series so far.

Looks like my special edition of the Nier remake has finally shipped so hopefully it gets here on time.

Yeah to be fair most of my orders have been from CeX & Music Magpie, I check the listings daily for prices and find them MUCH more agreeable than on eBay!

Sadly some of my other orders have been cancelled - Street Fighter X Tekken & Rayman Legends. I did order the Silent Hill game at bearable price, though it's been 4 days and they haven't sent it yet...

This is my Vita collection - It's not much as I don't tend to play portable as much has main consoles. The pile on the left is what I already had and the right what I got within the last few weeks.

The PS4 version of Child of Light wasn't physical but the Vita one is on cart - Also got the DLC Codes with it which is a bonus! Gravity Rush is one of my favourite games of the last decade, I had it on PS4 but have always wanted to get the original release. Sonic All-Star Racing is a game I had digital but loved it so much I wanted to keep it physical - Really brilliant to play on the go!

I got another copy of Freedom Wars, I intend to play this with my friend when Covid is settled - I have a PSTV so I hope I can play it on that & the Vita with my friend in the same sitting - Looking for another copy of Soul Sacrifice to do the same thing.
 
Oh really nice collection there! Great selection of games!

I dunno what it is, but there's something I just really like about collecting for the Vita. For some reason, it just gives me the same feeling as the Dreamcast, although I only ended up grabbing a Vita like 3 years ago lol.

Thanks for the tip about Music Magpie!! I've bought from there on occasion but not in a few years, so I'll keep a look out.

I've always got a bunch of tabs open for eBay, but things gone wild there now. The creep in prices started during Lockdown, but as time went on they never really dropped. When Sony announced the closure of the Vita store, things just went even more mad. Some people have lost it lol. I see a game going for 20 buy it now, and the same game, same condition for 40 quid buy it now. People just throwing up numbers hoping they will sell!

My GAME store used to have a bunch of Vita games behind the counter in a draw (apparently Sony didn't pay from the shelf space, so they just kept them there). Every week I used to go past and take a look in the draw buy the games I really wanted and then always checked to see if the rest had been reduced. I always said I'd just come back and grab the lot when they went on clearance. Turns out when GAME sold off all their PS3 and Vita games, they moved all the stock to the bigger stores and put them all on a 2.99-4.99 discount... Kicking myself so much now, as I'd have gladly paid the list price for all of them if I'd known :p

I'll try and get a few pics of mine at some point.
 

Never thought in the last 22 years I'd be playing a Pokemon game again, but since it's a Snap game, I felt drawn to it! I've only played about an hour of it and from what I've played so far I am enjoying it and am very excited to see what is next. It doesn't have the charm the 1999 version did, but it feels like a worthy successor. The last time I played any kind of Pokemon game there were only 151 Pokemon in existence, so seeing all these new creatures in this game is quite the treat!
 

Figured I'd try this for $6 on Steam sale. Caution: DO NOT BUY!

The 'best' Street Fighter game I've played.
The worst Tekken game I've played.

This is an interesting one because the costume customization options are really nice, seeing Tekken for the first time playing as a 2D side scroller fighting game is awesome and the cartoonish graphics are an interesting change for Tekken. The only problem is IT'S A STREET FIGHTER GAME!! Waaay too much SF and nothing even remotely Tekken outside of the characters. I'm all for crossovers and wish this would have been a Tekken X Virtua Fighter or Tekken X Dead or Alive game because the stuttering frame rate play/pause fighting style of Street Fighter is trash and ruins a game with some decent potential. This is like the Mortal Kombat vs DC game where it takes one solid franchise and mixes it with a lesser one, only Street Fighter X Tekken is worse.
 
I just pre ordered the Black Dual Sense controller for the ps5 on amazon. Do not have any problems with the feard stick drift yet but I still decided to get another controller as a replacement just in case.

Yesterday I purchased Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness on gog for 0.99 euro. And it is not as bad as its reputation. Sure the controlls are horrible and make the game more difficult but the graphics are good for the time. Also the setting is quite interesting. I like the dark premise of the game. The stamina system is a good idea but the execution is not that good. But I still enjoy the game so far. Would rate it a solid 7 game. No masterpiece and the controls are bad but the game in total is not that bad.
 
Just ordered Tao Feng: Fist of Lotus for Xbox. John Tobias of Mortal Kombat fame's first fighting game after leaving MK 20 years ago.
