UFO catcher challenge! This time I was able to win a few Umaru plushies!

12277585_918838948151865_677797468_n.jpg

Does this count as a pick-up? We just opened up a new store in Tokyo at the flagship Sofmap store (4F) in Akihabara!

12093595_190337171306950_1892342132_n.jpg

New ANIPPON Mad Catz sneakers :D

12237588_1482534785386694_725593220_n.jpg

A personal grail pick-up for me. I love Chrono Trigger, so I was stoked to be able to get the Super Famicom prize version. The prize version was a giveaway in conjunction with VJUMP (popular publication aimed at young boys) and features a metallic rose gold box. There are less than 1000 of these in existence. The original Japanese SFC release (bottom) is there for comparison.

Geez. If you found a magic lamp with a genie, would you wish for like, a thousand legs?
That would be awesome.

These are not my favorites of the year, just stuff I got late December, and some of this stuff just arrived yesterday. Hope that's okay.

Books 4 and 5 of the Ninja Turtles original comic collection. I already had 1-3 and I just wanted the rest. I preordered 6 and that's arriving next week. I preordered Vol 2 of the IDW collection too, but that''s not coming until next month. I really liked what I saw of that series from Vol 1 and was anxious to read more, but I feel like I'm too old to be chasing down comic books. I'll just wait until they're all collected like these. I guess it wouldn't be too hard since they're all the same series, but this is just easier.
My Sega Saturn copies of Earthworm Jim 2 and Darius Gaiden are kinda screwy. The music track for the first stage of EJ2 skips like crazy and Darius Gaiden just crashes if I follow along the bottom path eventually. Instead of taking them to a Gamestop or something and paying the 3 dollars to have them fixed or buying new copies, I bought this thing. It fixed Earthworm Jim 2, but I'm not sure what's going on with Darius Gaiden as it still crashes at different parts. The disc still looks good too, so I don't know... maybe the Action Replay is screwing something up?

edit: Oh never mind I guess. I ran Darius Gaiden again with the "soft" sandpaper again and was able to run through all the game on the bottom levels. I did refrain from using all the cheats on the Action Replay this time too, though, so I'll have to try again with all the cheats enabled to see if that was it.
Dodonpachi for the Sega Saturn. I'm a little upset that I didn't get a copy with the spine card, since I just know that'll be a little tick in my head in the future and it might possibly bother me enough to re-buy the game.
Mushihimesama Futari (or is it hutari? Pretty sure it's Futari, get it together xbox marketplace!), Espgaluda 2, and Raiden IV for the 360.
I got these too. I'm still a shnoob, as I've only just started playing these kinds of games in the summer, but I find them a lot of fun and I want to get better at them. I got the DLC for Mushihimesama Futari while I was at it and I got DariusBurst Chronicle Saviors on steam, too. I ordered a copy of Raiden Fighters Aces that'll probably be here in a few days.
I've never had an OG Xbox, but I have some games because of back compatibility. I've gotten weird issues happening using back compat on the 360, including a crash that corrupted my hard drive while playing Panzer Dragoon Orta (I still haven't gone back to Dark Souls 2, so many hours...). Minor disappointment, it came with the S controller and I was kinda hoping it'd come with "the Duke" just so I could see how it is. Oh well, I just ordered one along with Phantom Dust which should be here sometime next week.
I finally got a new keyboard! The one in the back is the old one and I've been using it for almost 8 years now! (I took off all the keycaps yesterday for a thorough cleaning, something I hadn't done in a while...shudders.)
The new one (Das Keyboard 4C Ultimate) is heavier even though it's smaller. I like that it has USB ports and I think I had been relying on the Numpad too much. One thing of note, this new one doesn't use Cherry switches like the old one does. It uses Greetech switches. They do feel different, though and they sound a little different too. They don't feel bad or anything, they actually still feel pretty great. I love it so far.

Edit: Oh yeah. Happy New Year's!

Late Christmas presents from my wife. She waited until I saw the movie on the 29th before buying them, to make sure I actually liked it.

It's been a while since I've last posted, so I'll just post the highlights:

Finally committed to the Xbox One for some Halo action. Liking it quite a bit more than I thought I would.


The Force was also pretty strong with this month:


These are the rest of the games I got over the last month or two:


And finally, I got this sexy blue Vita for Christmas. I committed to all digital games, so I've been playing:

Atelier Ayesha Plus
Broken Age
Dragon's Crown
Hotline Miami 1&2
Luftrausers
Steamworld Dig
Wild Arms (PS1)

And thank God for PS+ because I already had about 40 games for it when I opened the box. I am absolutely in love with my Vita.

Had a nice busy December/January, got myself up to Tokyo for Christmas and explored a lot of the typical places, Akihabara, Super Potato and whatever.

Got myself a haul from Super Potato, just absolutely can't resist Super Famicom stuff. Picked up a Supaboy to play Japanese versions of stuff. Also headed down to visit the best robot in the world, RX-78 and picked up a few things from the Gundam Cafe.

It was really awesome seeing a giant robot on Christmas Day, something almost surreal about it. Also finally seeing the famous Big Boss in Super Potato, almost like making a gaming mecca pilgrimage.

I went to Tokyo with the specific mindset of getting some cool JoJo swag and One Punch Man stuff. Although there wasn't much One Punch Man, I did manage to get hold of this sweet Genos gatcha toy. My JoJo fruits were a lot better, as well as picking up the new Eyes of Heaven game (which is freaking sweet so far), I managed to get the second series poseable Jotaro figure from Village Vanguard. Nearly dropped cash on the sweet JoJo converse that MarkMan got a few months ago. Finally managed to win a fucking UFO catcher too, got myself a sweet SSG Goku.

Checked out the new arcade machines they had installed this month in the Shinjuku Taito. Holy jesus shitting christ, the Star Wars: Battle Pod is absolutely awesome. If that is a slight look into what is possible with VR, I am totally in. The new Dissidia is also pretty damn cool, seeing some old classic FF characters in HD is very, very awesome.

Managed to also finish off my entire Smash Amiibo collection now, having all Amiibo including Lucas (living in Japan has its perks :D). Got Gold Mario and Mega Yarn Yoshi too! Totally picked up Cloud like everyone else.

Some final miscellaneous items include a pick up to experiment with the new Umaru-Chan! Vita title, I adore the anime :) I also found some random Pokemon Hanafuda notebooks in Animate that were pretty cheap, so had to get them!

Picked up 70+ Steam games. That's about it so far. I'm probably not gonna pop up in these threads for the year. Planning on not spending anything on treats for myself. But it's nice to follow the rest of you.

Hi there. In the Pick-Up post we usually start the beginning of the month showing the stuff we got in the previous month. In the January posts, we post our pick-ups of the year.

This thread has been going on for almost 10 years now. You didn't have to scroll through that, just like I didn't have to reply to you. :)

Happy New Year!

First Purchase of 2016 Mobile Suit Gundam the Origin 12 finally finishing off the series!
Bought the first Volume on a whim 13th May 2013 and quickly became one of my favourite series. Highly recommended!

THPS5- GameFly-$15
Do you have to be a Gamefly subscriber to get that price? I know THPS5 is a "not desirable" game but I still want it. I just refuse to pay 20> dollars for it.
Nice! You got the best looking Super Nintendo! I've still yet to own one and honestly, I don't think I ever will.

Wow that was quite a scroll! Some nice pictures though, some pretty cool gifts indeed. Didn't get much, but thought I would contribute to what I did get (gaming wise).

I wasn't expecting any games this Christmas, because usually I just get them when I want in the year. But did receive this, which was quite a surprise! I was not planning on getting it but was interested when I first saw it at E3, and i have to say I'm enjoying it quite a lot!

The second item was more personal and cute, as someone I know (who isn't even much of a gamer...yet), knew I liked Final Fantasy so she made these out of clay from scratch, so that was nice :) (They were supposed to be for a tree decoration, but will keep hold of them).

No I do not have a membership. Also it was a holiday sale so it may not be so cheap anymore.

Ah. I see now that there's a "Keep for 14.99" option, but I don't want to sign up for the service just to get a game that'll probably hurt my delicate feelings. Thanks. I'm sure they'll get low on the Amazon Marketplace sooner or later (that is, unless for some reason they become scarce and people want a copy for collector reasons).

Yeah there sales are open to anyone but I believe members get first dibs like a week early or something. Either way I would never pay for a membership with them. Horrible service.

To sum up my 2015, probably my favorite "pick-up" was my three-week trip to Europe (Vienna, Paris & London, with side-trips to Budapest, Salzburg & Prague) for my cousin's destination wedding. I did actually buy stuff while there, but the trip was just awesome unto itself for the memories.

Bought Bayonetta 2 since it was getting scarce around here, hadn't seen a copy for a couple of months, so I just had to get it. Will get into it a couple of weeks from now as I got a hard exam coming up.

Nice! You got the best looking Super Nintendo! I've still yet to own one and honestly, I don't think I ever will.

Sure is!

Very nice pickup! I'm still hoping to find a reasonably priced UK copy of the original Legend of Zelda at some point, to complete my collection.

Yeah i thought this was reasonable priced cause it was complete and boxed.
Got it from a gameshop here in The Netherlands.
 
Finally decided to pick up the Complete Saga. Though the packaging isn't as slick as the original released set, I do prefer the BD case used to store the discs. Getting it cheaper thanks to some Best Buy rewards certificates helped take the sting out too.

Part 2 of 2: MarkMan's Favorite Pick-Ups of 2015
