April 2017 Pickups!

The funny thing is that they could never sell the game with that cover here in the US because it would be too offensive.  The violence and murders in the game is no problem, but someone flipping the bird on the cover would be too much. 

Kinda reminds me of this poster:


They changed it to have her hand down at her side so that it wouldn't seem too patriotic.

Picture won't load for me.  What's it a picture of?

Poster for the film 'what a girl wants'.

Lol, it seems that the idea was taken from that poster

I know these aren't nation wide, but Family Video is having a game sale.  Buy one, get one 50% off.  Their prices are pretty cheap to start with.  The games are obviously rentals, so they've probably seen a hard live, but they do guarantee them for 30 days.  Also, the discs will have that sticker on the middle and the game cases will have those difficult to remove stickers, but if the games are cheap enough, it's worth it in my opinion.  Supposedly, only games listed as "buy it" are eligible, but I already know that Bear was able to get some Wii U games for cheap, so it's worth asking as each store will inevitably be different.

Gun ok, but fingers not. Lol.

Hit the nail on the head there. Also, heaven forbid there be a fraction of a woman's nipple on a cover. Instant porn, err, "Adults-Only" rating.


Well, another day at target, another with no NES classic. Buuuuut, they had more clearance stuff.  Wish I could say it's making up for the lack of NES.

I haven't posted my pickups in awhile, so here's the last couple weeks worth.

I don't know why PostImage is rotating the photos.

I got this about 2 weeks ago. (Purchased about 3 weeks ago on Walmart.com for $60.)


Here are some games I got about a week ago at a resale store.


Here are a couple of eBay purchases. I've been wanting both of these for quite some time.


Here are some games I got today at Goodwill and a resale store. And yes.. Barbie lmao. The memory card was free (found it inside a ps2 game).


And here is a GBA I got at Goodwill for $8. It's missing the battery cover, but otherwise it's in very good condition.

April pick ups so far.  Also pictures is my NES mini. This months pick ups finishes this.


As far as I know this is every (non-philips) Zelda game released in the states.

If you don't count Greatest Hits variants, the digital only Four Swords Anniversary for 3DS, and non-series games with Link as a playable character (Smash Series, Soul Calibur II), then yes.  Those are all the official titles released in the US.

[pringlesman]

I might eventually pick up variants. (gold carts, non-litho sticker on majoras mask, greatest hits) but currently that's not a priority.  I have Four Swords Anniversary on the 3DS and all the smash series.  And I'm not bothering with Cameo appearances.  There isn't a clear cut list on that.

I guess the CDI games also count, and the Game & Watch Zelda game (Winch is in the Game & Watch Gallery 4 on GBA)

How much did you pay for that bad fur say?  I'm after one on ebay too but I'm afraid to buy a repro

Funny that I wasn't the only person to pickup Twilight Princess today (although you clearly picked up the better version).  Personally, I feel that you don't need every version of the SAME game to say you have all of the Zelda games.  If you didn't have the Switch version of BOTW, I would argue you still have all of the Zelda games (outside of CDi).

I paid $75. It came in an official N64 case. The price was a little steep, but it wasn't as high as usual. And yeah, most of the ones on eBay are repros.

Yeah I agree. You only need every release. I'm only missing BotW for Wii U
