What did you BUY today?

That Ni no Kuni II set makes a darn good paperweight. I sure wish I had time to play it.

maybe don't watch like 30 simulcasts, and you'd find the time :3

Hate to tell you your wrong, I'm not an employee at my local HMV, that is a customer discount.

Wait What? How'd you get that kind of discount and get 2 sets for £0? Is it from purehmv points or something?

Correct. Its the purehmv points that all HMV stores run. Just out of curiosity, do you know how it works, if not I will tell you.

I'm back with another update to the PlayStation 3 haul, this time this haul concludes Stage 7 which is dedicated solely to Japan-only imports (retail copies wise). As mentioned in the PHOTOS thread I have a disc replacement for Gal*Gun on its way and Darkstalkers will be here pretty soon. Since I have just enough to get a few more here are the last two titles I'll be importing from Japan for a fair amount of time! Both are relatively cheap to acquire however I once again took the pre-owned route this time.

Another Century's Episode R
Released: August 2010
Genre: Action Mecha

I think this is the first FROM SOFTWARE game in my collection now that I think about it (then again I did once own Kuri Kuri Mix, you have my respect if you remember that PS2 gem). This is a crossover mecha game from FROM SOFTWARE (the Souls series) and Banpresto (the Super Robot Wars series), which has always been gathering my curiosity all these years so I finally picked it up. The franchises included in this game are as follows:

Spoiler

• Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2
• Full Metal Panic!
• Genesis of Aquarion
• Macross Zero
• Macross Frontier
• Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam
• Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack
• Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny
• Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam
• Overman King Gainer
• Super Dimension Century Orguss
• Super Robot Wars Original Generation

So yeah as you can tell having those IPs in one game got me interested in checking this one out.

Mobile Suit Gundam Side Stories
Released: May 2014
Genre: Action Mecha

Next we have another HD collection of sorts, technically this is a weird one to explain. This is a remake/compilation of previous Gundam games released in the past and modified so that they're all connected, which as a result put off a lot of Gundam fans and the game got some pretty mixed reviews. Nevertheless here are the games included:

Spoiler

• Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story: Missing Link (2014 - PlayStation 3 ~ this is the main base of the collection)
• Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story: The Blue Destiny (1996 - Sega Saturn)
• Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story: Space, To the End of a Flash (2003 - PlayStation 2)
• Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story 0079: Rise From The Ashes (1999 - Dreamcast)
• Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front (2001 - PlayStation 2)
• Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space (2003 - PlayStation 2)
• Mobile Suit Gundam: Lost War Chronicles (2002 - PlayStation 2)
• Mobile Suit Gundam: Cross Dimension 0079 (1995 - Super Famicom ~ second half only)

Some of these games did get localised in English in the past but this collection is of course in Japanese. I like Gundam so I wanted to try it out.

Here are the remaining to-buy Japan-only titles on my shopping list, feel free to recommend me any others if you have acquired any:

• Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn
• Nurarihyon no Mago: Hyakki Ryouran Taisen
• Sakigake!! Otoko Juku: Nihonyo Korega Otoko Dearu
• Yakuza 1 & 2 HD Edition

Recap of the Japan-only PS3 games I currently own so far:
