2024 HAUL - NOVEMBER CHAPTER: BATCH #4
A few more items to round up the month of November. A lot of items this month but December is expected to be bigger. These items arrived on Thursday, Friday & Saturday respectively.
Last year Remedy released their anticipated game
Alan Wake II and it was digital only. They said they weren't going to provide a physical for various reasons, but fan demand must have done enough for them to finally put out a physical version which came out last October. I'm happy to own this but my plan is to revisit Alan Wake via the remaster and then play Control before jumping into this one which is more of a survival horror than twin peaks horror.
The 33rd Godzilla film from TOHO has landed onto UK home video!
Godzilla Minus One is a really good film from the director that brought us
Dragon Quest: Your Story and
Lupin the Third: The First and many others. This deluxe edition set mirrors the Japanese release which the North American version also did but we have the bonus Blu-ray disc subtitled and all of it is there (the only difference are the Trailer Collection which is smaller than the Japanese version).
You can view more photos & specs
on my blog.
The final items for the month of November are two Nintendo Switch games ordered from VideoGamesPlus.
First up we have a very anticipated collection that just got released physically (its digital version came out last September) and that's
Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection Arcade Classics. This collection includes the 1993 beat em up
The Punisher released for the Arcades & SEGA Mega Drive, and various fighting games that came out for Arcade, SEGA Saturn and PlayStation; 1994's
X-Men: Children of the Atom, 1995's
Marvel Super Heroes, 1996's
X-Men vs. Street Fighter, 1997's
Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, plus the iconic crossover games released for Arcade, SEGA Dreamcast and PlayStation 1 (former) & 2 (latter) with 1998's
Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes, and 2000's
Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes.
Also picked up is a survival horror cyberpunk type game called
SIGNALIS, which I heard was really good and I know HEALTH produced a music video for Don't Try with footage from this game. While the PlayStation 4 version is the better console version to get due to framerate, I felt the game would be more suited for Nintendo Switch. The game did receive a physical release in Europe but its first print had become harder to find or more expensive, whereas VGP did a new print run for cheaper.
