September Haul - Batch #4
The fourth batch is here. Due to the days getting darker, I will be shifting back to the weekly Saturday (or mid-day depending on the situation) updates so expect me to post hauls like this going forward until end of March.
First up, we have another 4K Ultra HD title and another one for the Asian Cinema collection with
The Police Story Trilogy from Eureka Entertainment. This includes Police Story, Police Story 2, and Police Story III: Supercop, the latter of which I haven't yet owned from Jackie Chan's catalogue. The 4K LE was selling fast so I decided to pre-order directly from Eureka's store and it arrived last Wednesday.
Next, we have more Nintendo Switch games for the collection. It's been a while but with these two they made sense for different reasons.
51 Worldwide Games, also known as Clubhouse Games, was pretty cheap and comes with a bunch of mini games which will be handy for my trip to Center Parcs this November. This arrived yesterday.
And arriving today, we have the odd choice here with
The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero. The reason this is an odd one because when it comes to multi-platform options I always go for PlayStation, but this is the rare occasion where the Nintendo Switch (& PC) are the better versions of the two due to the way they were developed. Falcom made a PS4 version years back which wasn't well received compared to the Vita counterpart, and NIS America made their own Switch port with Durante back to sort it out which ended up being better on the graphics and other tidbits. Sure, I lose out on trophies, but it would feel like FOMO if I went for the inferior release, so here we are with the Switch version. The game arrived early from Base, and I do have Trails from Azure pre-ordered as well from the same retailer. The PEGI rating is due to gambling.
Katsuhiro Otomo's
Memories is now back in the UK on Blu-ray from Anime Limited, which also came packaged as a collector's edition set. Just like Kaiba and Konosuba, this is using the Discotek Media disc, so all of the goodies are here including the option to switch between the original and restored versions of the film, and if you miss out on the CE the Japanese interviews in the booklet are on the disc as well. This is a double dip as I own the Discotek release (and because Magnetic Rose is fantastic), but I have watched the film and highly recommend the English dub.
