*disclaimeer: picture shown above may not represent NSonic79's actual birthday haul*

Well before the weekend kicks in I thought I’d share in all that I was able to get during my birthdays this year. Like I said in prior posts, it’s not as crazed as last year due to budgetary requirements, but still the bdays haul is impressive. First off the big one.

Nintendo Wii U Deluxe Bundle.

This would explain why my Xmas gifts from “teh wife” were what they were back in December. I’m not sure how she pulled it off but she was able to find me a bundle pack that came with the game discs, instead of the games themselves being installed in the system’s hard drive. I should’ve known what she was up to when she asked me two weeks ago if I had a choice of what system I wanted.

SNK/Flash Sale buys.

“Teh Wife” also gave me some PSN cards so I went all out on buying what was available on PSN during the SNK and Flash Sales. I got the following from SNK.

SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1
Samurai Shodown Anthology
Metal Slug Anthology
The King of Fighters Collection
NeoGeo Heroes Ultimate Shooting
Metal Slug Double XX

My dream in having all the SNK compilation titles digitally on my PSP is now complete. I debated on getting the Neo Geo Station Bundle for PS3 but decided against it given that I have some of the games offered already on my PS2/PSP and the rest of the games I wasn’t interested in. I instead got Ultimate Shooting since you can’t have enough SHUMPS on the PSP (and it came with KOF Sky Stage). I almost didn’t get Metal Slug Double XX until I learned that was an enhanced version of Metal Slug 7. And since I now own Metal Slugs 1-6 digitally I thought why not!

Flash Sales

Hard Corps Uprising
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
Capcom vs SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001
The King of Fighters ‘99

Honestly there wasn’t much that I was interested in this Flash Sale but still enough to keep me interested. I’ve always wanted Hard Corps Uprising and SSFIITHDR. The last two fighting games were just impulse buys given how I missed out in getting the PS2 physical copy of Capcom vs SNK 2 awhile back. I also wasn’t planning on getting KoF 99 but since I own most of them now thanks to the KoF Collection I might as well add ’99 to the list for PSP playability.

 

Physical buys and more points cards.

I also got this PSP game at the clearance rack at Target. I mostly wanted it for the PSP camera. I could’ve bought a third party camera but I wanted the official Sony item. Not sure if I’ll use it often enough nor do I think I’ll even get around to the game. It’s still in the shrink wrap in came in.

 

As I said I got Bayonetta 2 for the Wii U but have yet to play it given that I drained the battery on the Gamepad for Super Mario 3D World. Instead I used the Wii points cards to buy some choice titles off the Wii Shop. Those titles are.

Art of Balance
Zombie Panic in Wonderland
Mario Kart 64
Gley Lancer
Devil’s Crush

I still have some credits left on my Wii and my PSN account so who knows what I’ll get later.

That’s the breakdown so far. As you can see I have my weekend set for myself. Hopefully I can get caught up on things with BaD. One more week to go all!

BaD Thought of the day

I have 2200 Wii points left. What titles should I buy be it VC or WiiWare?

I wish I had two birthdays. Kind of like a personal mini-Hannukka

Very nice swag. Since Sony doesn't seem to give up yet on the PSP, I may check those digital sales. Helps that Sony put PSN on Colombian region last year and Nintendo is leaving some Latin Americans without the Eshop so far.

Nice haul! Hard Corps. Uprising and Super Street Fighter II HD Remix are both awesome. Those were two of my favorite games on PSN. I wish they'd come to Steam. I'm hoping Capcom will port more games to Steam with the recent success of the Resident Evil Remake.

I picked up Hard Corps: Uprising during that sale too. I tried the demo when it first came out and didn't like it but I've had it recommended several times to me since then, so I figured I'd give it another chance. Besides, I didn't even know about the Uprising mode where you can leve up your character. That sounds pretty cool. 

If you still have points (I know I'm behind on commenting), I'd recommend Shovel Knight. It's like playing an NES game without all the frustrations of playing an actual NES game Smile
