Previous years, I went massively over budget. This time, I stuck to around $100. And I swore, I’d only get stuff that I’m truly excited about.

So here’s what I got:

  • Warioland 1, 2, & 3. These are the Japanese versions. All were C$5 each.
  • Sub Terrania. I’ve wanted this game ever since I was a kid. Thrilled to have it in box for C$20.
  • Black & White 2. One of the best PC games of all time, but you can’t get it on any storefront anymore. Got it in box for C$15.
  • Dark Cloud. Despite what the cover art indicates, it is not like Zelda—this is the spiritual sequel to Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole. Got it in box for C$20.
  • Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade. A hack-‘n-slash action RPG. This was C$2.

I was tempted to buy a PC Engine console for C$50 but then I’d have yet another console hanging around my house.

All of the games I got are, in my opinion, must-haves.

Lol same thought here. Was amazing for the time, but I should probably let nastalgia live on in my head and not try to pick it up again for the same reason.
