I just bought Tetris 2 for the SNES brand new, it was the equivalent of about 15 U.S. Dollars.

I'm... Actually kinda surprised I just casually found it in a modern game store. They had space invaders too.

Yeah, it's in shrink wrap and all. The girl working there told me they found those two games in their old warehouse.

It's lucky, since I randomly found my brothers old SNES the other month and have been trying to find a game to test it with.

Went to my local game store and got Final Fantasy 5 Advance (usually $16, but was tech. free, as I got a fake copy for Christmas), Contra for $30 (been looking for it), and Castlevania 3 for free (buy 2, get 1 free). I also got an NES Game Genie for my brother's birthday; now he can ruin anything he pleases

That's not a retro purchase, that's a VC purchase. I will ask you once to leave this thread.

Last night I received the Game Boy Advance port of the Super Famicom hit Mickey & Donald: Magical Adventure 3, imported from Japan (my second after Kuru Kuru Kururin months back). Yes, you read that right; I want to try to review Capcom's third and final Nintendo 16-bit Mickey Mouse platformer for my blog this summer, and recently I thought that perhaps it would be fair to also cover the portable edition for comparison's sake (and because it was Western gamers' first exposure to the game). Didn't cost anywhere near as much as the original Super Famicart or the Western GBA edition surprisingly.

I still hate that any time an SFC/SNES game is transitioned to the Game Boy Advance it's done at the expense of great music (sounding terrible or meh in the GBA), cropped in aspect ratio (GBA screen being rectangular as opposed to square like the SFC/SNES), and depending on the title there being moments of slowdown that were not present in the original incarnation. That said, it's not a bad port and it still plays good (though the switch and change actions feel a bit awkward here); but I still have fondness for the Super Famicom original.

Now, since I broke my own rule almost seven years ago of buying a watered down GBA port of an SFC/SNES game this month (as SFC/SNES is superior no matter what, especially RPGs) with Mickey & Donald: Magical Adventure 3, does that mean I'm gonna try the Game Boy Advance versions of The Magical Quest starring Mickey Mouse (with Minnie on board) and The Great Circus Mystery starring Mickey & Minnie someday? Not likely, this is enough for me.

Is or was it really a hit? I don't think the third one sold that well and I personally don't think any of the three is really that good of a game. The Sega Disney games were way better during the 16-bit days.

Well, I say "hit" (I may as well have said "classic", but that would've been debatable, even for those for those who like the first game more than this one), but I presume it must've done well enough for the target audience in Japan, and some reviews I read for it were positive (despite its easy difficulty). And, while I personally feel that all three of Capcom's Mickey Mouse games are good fun, you're not wrong: Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse is better than all three (despite its simplicity), and the MegaDrive/Genesis did vastly outnumber the SFC/SNES as far as Disney games go (the latter having only, what, seventeen(?) total compared to the two-dozen-plus Disney titles the former had?).

I'd wonder just how widely distributed the third Mickey game was in Japan, considering it was at the tail end of Capcom's 16-bit support. (although it seems Marvel: War of the Gems was released in 1996, it was in 1995 that Capcom announced greater interest in moving on to the 32-bit generation. Yet SFA2 got a western release after Nintendo published it.)
Probably all somewhere in the "uncommon but not rare" territory.

Oh man... hope I'm not hitting a slope with this one...
A handful of gen 1-vintage Pokemon "Power Bouncer" toys. I had a couple back in the day, niece took them.
Good thing I'm not paying too much inflation to rebuy. (average of about $10 each. I think they were originally like $6.) Probably to decorate a bit. Not that I'm huge on packaging but it should be easier to display with it intact.
May regret getting them used, but a small lot of Burger King (apparently) toys.

Just a small purchase for me today

Was in the mood for an arcade style baseball game so for that price I decided to pick it up. I never realized that 2K did this game until today.

I finally buckled down and bought a Retron 5 Console on eBay. It cost almost as much as the Super Nintendo Bundles I was looking at, so I figured "why not?". Though it just occured to me to check to see if the Retron 5 supports Composite cables...and it doesn't. Hopefully I can fit it on my Bureau.

Also binged on a couple games for it:

Secret of Evermore (SNES)
Kid Dracula (Famicom)
Mother 3 (GBA)
Live-A-Live (SFC)
Seiken Densetsu 3 (SFC)
Treasure Hunter G (SFC)

Also got to get a Super Nintendo Controller tomorrow after work, since the Mall isn't too far from my work place (a 10 minute bus ride, basically). Might see if I can find something there to pick up along with it, but it depends on the price...
