November pickups

Got lots of stuff from Black Month/Week/Friday sales. So the pickups this month mostly consists of more modern releases.

A decent chunk of them are also some of my Girlfriend's favorites!

I've already played DQ 1 HD-2D which was quite solid!

Here is for October

9 games for 9 different systems.

We were on vacation in Finland and was able to find some slightly more rare games there.

Also picked up our second Switch 2 game, already completed.

I've also started playing Ace Attorney 2!

September was a big month!

Finally picked up our first Switch 2 game with Story of Seasons Grand Bazaar.
"Good game btw" - @seapotato5.bsky.social

We also picked up a bunch of switch games from the Outland 50% off sale.

Additionally we managed to finish 4 of the pickups from this month!

August pickups

With Metroid Prime Federation Force, i now have a version of every Metroid game!

I also picked up a Sega Saturn this month, and was also able to pick up 1 game for it!

I have also started playing Atelier Iris 2 for last months pickups, which I've been enjoying!

July pickups

Another chill month, picking up 4 games.

Got an incredible deal on Actraiser, and with it I am only 1 game away from having all of the PAL Quintet games. So I am really happy about that.

This month I also got around to playing Chaos;Head from February's pickups!

Here is for June

Its been a bit of a sparse month, since we have been more focused on playing games we already own and working on @gammasurge.bsky.social

Also managed to pick up a Switch 2 second hand. It didn't actually come with Mario Kart, so i don't have any switch 2 games yet.

What do you need to be classified as an indie game tho?
The definition of what classifies as indie is often quite vague, especially when you compare modern indies to how a lot of older PC games were developed

DOOM was independently published by a team of under 10 people. Does DOOM count as Indie?

May pickups!

With Odin Sphere i have all the Vanillaware games, which was one of my goals for the year!

I have also been wanting to try out the Monster Hunter series, so looking forward to give Freedom Unite a try

Also shoutouts to @foooooran.bsky.social for the MH Stories birthday gift!

Here are the pickups from April

I tried to have a bit of a slower month, but still ended up picking up 6 games.

Last month i also picked up a GunCon 2 for the PS2, so very happy to now have a couple of light gun games to play with that!

That is definitely just a higherbound estimate from the retailer as they don't actually have proper price in scandinavia yet. We are seing the same here in Norway, and the prices are all over the place depending on the retailer.

Here are the March pickups

Got a huge heavy hitter in the Scandinavian version of Soul Blazer, which was a huge hurdle for getting all the European Quintet games

Also made a dent in my Vanillaware collection with GrimGrimoire

February pickups time!

With Metroid Prime Hunters in the box, i am only missing Prime Fed Force before i have all the Metroid games!

Also lots of games for @seapotato5.bsky.social this month, she has already finished Rhapsody 1 and really enjoyed it
