Yesterday I Bought II: Many Things

Finally picked up my Purple Japanese GameCube and JPN version of Super Mario Sunshine.

Whilst I was their I bought (PAL) Bomberman Generation for Cube and Green Day American Idiot on Vinyl.

Japanese text with English audio.

Binary Domain is brilliant, wish we got a sequel.

Binary Domain was the best game about shooting robots ever made, might still be though I'd have to replay it in a post-Titanfall 2 world. (Vanquish is a close third).

Japandemonium Illustrated, big book of Japanese myths and monsters and yokai.

As I've gotten really into the creatures and themes in Dark Souls and Monster Hunter, I've found myself wanting to know more about the mythology and fantasy of Japan. In one of Gaijin Hunter's videos about Nioh, he talked about Toriyama Sekien's collected anthology of myths, which is still a big source of inspiration to this day. I guess he was the equivalent of Tolkien, who gathered myths and creatures from European folklore and created modern fantasy (albeit about 150 years later than Sekien). Unfortunately, there was no English version

Then, a couple of weeks ago, someone in the Midnight Resistance discord casually mentioned that an English translation was on its way! The timing was uncanny. It turned up today, and I'm looking forward to getting stuck in. It's huge, printed backwards like a manga, and looks lovely and clean inside, with reprintings of the classic illustrations.

Mmm nice book:

 

So far it looks like great value, I'll let you know how the actual content holds up.

This a 128GB Micro SD Card Class-10, UHS-I (according to the description but the picture is UHS-III) and 90MB/s for under £35

A copy of The Sims 3 on DS from CEX for Jo. She's enjoying it right now.

This lot for £25.



Those Wii games for a quid each in the new charity shop in town. Hyrule Warriors, Shape Up and LEGO Jurassic World were the last scraps of Sainsburys' games clearance - it was odd to me that the Wii U section had obviously been plundered yet the previous buyers decided to leave Hyrule Warriors. They had that OoT Link amiibo too, which I've never seen in stock anywhere.

Better punt them quick before GAME stops price matching at the end of he month or tomorrow.

This just came from the US of A and dam it is big about a good 100 pages more then Hyrule Historia

My friend Katie got that, I'm definitely tempted. I'm really keen to pick up one or both of the Monster Hunter artbooks as well . . .
I think I've got a bonus coming in soon, that's going straight on a load of games rubbish

This came this morning

The second best game of the year?

What are you talking about Zero, Mario Odyssey isn't due for months!

We will see when we do are annual GOTYcast but at the moment with the few hours I've played, it's rather decent however knowing what games are coming this year then it will be tough for is possibly a high 9 to even make my Top 5.

I've said it before and I'll say it again 2017 will be the best year for games since 2013 and could top 2007.

Double Post of some Nintendo stuff

And this one makes 990! Time to lock this thread and begin anew...
