My one recent retro purchase would be Gauntlet for NES, "licensed" version.
Though I kind of wonder what the pedantic who believe Nintendo would call it, as Nintendo has denounced Tengen as ever releasing any licensed games.
"ex-licensed"?
I probably overpaid, as the unlicensed version seems to be more abundant and cheaper.

@KingMike: But more expensive versions are always better, for a collector anyway.

Picked up Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures. I recently realized it was developed by Factor 5 so I knew I had to get it. Plus, who didn't want to be Indiana Jones as a kid of the 80's?

Also, doesn't really count here but recently downloaded Sonic CD and Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 on my PS3 when they were on sale last week. My PS3 is quite the retro Sega machine.

I'm sorry what? Great, now I need Taito Legends 1. Took me forever to find 2...

I'd expect 1 should be easier to find. I recall when I bought 2, it was labeled a GameStop exclusive but I think I might've seen it later at Best Buy.
So, it's just Legends 2 that has 4 games exclusive to PS2 and 4 games excluded from PS2 (Xbox/PC only. Though I have the PC version, I've been hesitant to install it because I hear it uses a common popular but malware-ish copy-protection software. )

I just recently bought a Gamecube online. Since I got a Gamecube controller with Super Smash Bros., I thought I'd buy a cheap console that works with it. I don't know if it works yet or not, but if it does, what games should I buy for it? I want to finally play Super Mario Sunshine, Pikmin, and Luigi's Mansion. I already have Wind Waker on the Wii U.

EDIT: Also, I bought Mega Man and Mega Man 2 on the 3DS eShop.

No games, just the console itself, original 3 button controller, power cable and Coaxile cable.

So are you going to hang on to this one or are you going to sell it in a few months?

I've been playing GameCube games on the Wii.
Some of the games I played and recommend getting:
Luigi's Mansion that you mentioned
Mario Gold Toadstool Tour
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds
The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
Rampage: Total Destruction (and not the Wii version)
Wave Race: Blue Storm
And Melee and Double Dash! of course.
Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader - highly recommended by people, still didn't like it yet.
Pikmin I suggest to play on the Wii. Although even that I didn't like because of the time pressure.

Don't forget Kirby Air Ride. That game is a must have for anyone who likes multiplayer. If you're playing solo on the other hand, I can't recommend it that much.

I like makin' games!
Future Pinball games!
Petit Computer games!!
and SmileBASIC games!
Waiting for Kirby Air Ride 2. One day, it will come. One day...

@WaveWarlock: I thought the GC was a pretty solid system. I liked it better the the N64. For one thing I think the Gamecube has the best third party support for a Nintendo system since the NES/SNES days. I thought multiplatform games like Soul Caliber II ran and look better on the GC then the PS2 or the Xbox, and games like WWE Day of Reckoning I will take over their other system counterparts any day of the week. Yeah the GC didn't have the multiple uses that a PS2 or Xbox had, DVD playback, online but I bought the Gamecube to play games not watch movies IMO the Gamecube was the last pure video game system before all we get is multimedia devices like nowadays.

So this is my fourth Game Boy purchase this year, and the fifth one overall which I imported from Japan which I got today: Tokyo Disneyland: Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour, GRC's kinda/sorta sequel to their Super Famicom platformer Mickey no Tokyo Disneyland Daibōken. The balloon gameplay elements are intact, and I liked how there was a nonlinear structure to it as opposed to be rather straightforward, and for Game Boy standards the areas look fantastic... but it's rather short (and I got it a few hours ago). There is replay value, but this is a game I'll have to play more of (difficulty settings vary) in order to form a proper opinion on it (then again, I am more partial to Mickey no Tokyo Disneyland Daibōken, so maybe that's why I sound a bit--but not entirely--disappointed). I liked it enough, I just expected a bit more, I suppose; I'm glad I played it though, it was worth the wait. On the bright side, this is the best Mickey Mouse platformer I played that was made for the Game Boy; it's actually fun and decently structured unlike Mickey's Dangerous Chase, at least.

Oh, fun fact: this isn't the only Tokyo Disneyland title which Tomy published for the Game Boy. In fact, this is the first of two; the second being Tokyo Disneyland: Fantasy Tour by Tose (according to The Cutting Room Floor), which is more a series of mini-games revolving around Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy. I know this because I imported that one this summer mistakenly under the impression that it was the platformer. It wasn't until after I got it that I found out there were two entirely different games. The more you know.

700 inches, huh?
You gonna open a theater where people can come watch you play Mother 3?
... although that sounds more interesting than what theaters are currently playing...

Only 700"? You must have downgraded when you moved back to Corpus.

The Dual Shock 2 had one feature over the PS1 I believe: pressure-sensitive buttons.
Though the only game I personally played to use that feature was Star Ocean 3, and even then it was only for one dungeon at the end of the first disc. (though I never actually finished that game)

Never played any of the Metal Gear Solid games then? There definitely are more than a few games that use it. But most are in ways you don't easily notice or if you do they annoy you.

@WaveWarlock: Do get Outbreak File 2, it's a great survival horror game with survival being a key part of the gameplay and all levels have multiple endings possible. The first one is good too, but has very long loading times for each section.
