Is it any good?  I really haven't read any of the reviews, mostly because they'll most likely just make me want a U all that much more :P

Welp, I'm tired of waiting for remakes that may never happen. I've decided to just take the plunge and get the GBA versions of FF5 and FF6, that way I can finally own copies of the first ten Final Fantasies and be done with it.

With that said, I ordered FF6 first, and I figure once I beat it I'll be able to get FF5 for less than $20 shipped. I managed to get a little bit lucky and saw a cartridge being sold for $26 shipped(They're usually $35+). I've taken precautions to make sure that the seller checks to see if the cartridge is official or bootlegged, and I've printed out the covers and assigned shelf space.

If they do go and make 3D remakes, more power to them, but I've been waiting since the FF4 remake came out in 2008... I've waited long enough, and it feels good to finally get this out of the way so I can go ahead and play the games in peace. XD

Oh, guess I'll post what else I've acquired over the month;

Wii-U Baisc, NSMBU, Sonic All-Stars Racing - $320ish Total (Delayed til christmas :p)
Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault - $20.99 Shipped (The last Ratchet & Clank game I will buy... seriously there's 10 of them not counting the collection.)
Super Monkey Ball - $8.99 Shipped (I had to replace this. This and Luigi's Mansion were my go-to Gamecube games until Melee and Pikmin. The sequel is more fun, but I do appreciate the challenge and difficulty of the original... I FINALLY beat Expert Floor 6!)
Corrina,Corrina - $5 shipped (Early Christmas present for my mom... it also happens to be one of my most nostalgic movie experiences. :) )

I also picked up Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! for $4

Let me guess, Goodwill? :p

That's how much I paid for my copy. Never leaving my sight!

Both are Rom hacks.  It's "Oh No! More Zombies Ate My Neighbors!" and "Metroid Zero Mission".

Order ID 105-5605843-1759429:
1 of Final Fantasy VI [ASIN: B000LY4IDK]

------------- Begin message -------------

I just looked and didn't see the Nintendo thing.  My flashlight was flickering,
so I will check again.  But it doesn't look good.

Sent him this image: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/sostrooper/sale/sfa33.jpg

There's still a chance I suppose, but like he said... it's not looking good. :( Damnit!

What the heck... it says he shipped the game at 9 am. This should be interesting.

It's really cool but a little bit Demon Souls like. Hard as nails and annoying cause when you die you respawn as a new guy and then you have to kill the old you (which is a Zombi now) to get your stuff back. If you die on the way there again everythings gone!!!!!!
2 + 3 = 23
