For now let me just run thru some stuff that has been going on with me.<\/p>\n<p>Recently I&#8217;ve redeveloped my passion for niche and retro gaming titles. This was kick started by a  retro gaming blog that I read at RacketBoy.com . Bascially I had decided to run thru the site and pick out the posts that I was interested in reading. After 6 hours straight of reading I was satisfied. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>This also reminded me of how I&#8217;d been meaning to get into a number of 2D fighting franchises as well as some Neo Geo stuff. So I continued my research for a few days and this is my conclusion. I have decided to pick up:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>King of Fighters XI<\/li>\n<li>Neo Geo Battle Coloseum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After reading some reviews of the Art of Fighting Trilogy I decided to pass. I&#8217;m still unsure about Fatal Fury Battle Archives 1, I will have to wait until its released. I have found it impossible to find Guilty Gears XX, so I will wait for Accent Core to arrive to the PS2(unless the Wii version is miraculously better). I&#8217;m also keeping my eye out on Dark Stalkers and a GBA copy of Street Fighter Alpha 3. I&#8217;m very happy with my decision and can&#8217;t wait to play the games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discontinued<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Its a scary word for someone trying to catch up on old game titles. Unfortunately out of the list of games for my PS2 catch up I have 2 of them. Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3. The MGS series is one of the best series in the gaming industry and yet everywhere around the world it gets a poor distribution. And then something like MGS The Twin Snakes happens on Gamecube and you know that your never going to ever see that game. I&#8217;ve also noticed that a few other big games are getting hard to find, like Devil May Cry 3 SE. So I have had this idea recently: no matter how much it costs, if I find a new copy of a game that is very rare I should snap it up right away so that I don&#8217;t miss out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well all of this ties in with the main point here and being that I managed to snap up a these games recently. Here&#8217;s the complete list with Australian prices:<\/p>\n<p>Sonic Gems Collection &#8211; $27<br \/>\nDevil May Cry 3 Special Edition &#8211; $49<br \/>\nMetal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence &#8211; $87<br \/>\nNeo Geo: Battle Coliseum &#8211; $47<br \/>\nMetal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes &#8211; $70<br \/>\nFinal Fantasy Origins(PSone) &#8211; $55<br \/>\nKing Of Fighters XI &#8211; $27<\/p>\n<p>Everything after DMC was bought online which is a first for me. I decided to buy the SNK games at the last minute as I was really keen to pick them up. King Of Fighters XI was definetly a good deal as it only came out 3 weeks ago. I&#8217;ll let you know what I think in the following weeks.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey friends, sorry about the lack of posts recently, I shall explain that one a little later.
