Fire Emblem Sacred Stones

Borrowed the GBA game from King Snort a while ago - around July 4th weekend because Vincent came up soon after and borrowed the Castlevania that I had borrowed from King Snort together with FE earlier.

After 3 consecutive weekends at StarBucks (4.5 hrs, 3.5hrs, 3hrs - my game time's improving), I finally felt like I've completed the game. I actually finished the last chapter a while back already, but there are all these special characters you can get in the game "after" you've beaten the game - and that's pretty much what took so much time.

Try bidding for Daigasso Band Brothers on eBay over the weekend as well - got out-bid by some other user - too bad. The other game that I had my eyes on, Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!, its bid price skyrocketted and I don't think it's worth that much money for a used copy (~$29 + $10 shipping, but a new copy at YesAsia only costs $45). I guess I'll wait till my trip back home to pick up these two games (though an English version of Ouendan is coming out in Oct/Nov).

While browsing on eBay, I noticed that tons of stuff are sold by users who are in Hong Kong. Their price is fairly reasonable I would say (around $30 bucks), however, the shipping cost is ridiculously expensive, some going as high as 50% of the price. Unbelievable. I was tempted to e-mail to seller to ask what will the shipping be if I want to have him send it to my parent's place in HK. Then have my parents send the game over and cut the shipping cost.

DNA also bought a DSL earlier - now only if there's a good game that support WiFi (besides Mario Kart...kakakaka)

Tons of games coming out this Fall, the ones I am interested include:
Mario Hoops 3-on-3
Final Fantasy III
Children of Mana
Contact
Elite Beat Agent (English version of Ouendan)
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
Cooking Mama (oh btw, I probably should pick up Shaberu! DS Oryori Navi this December too)
Harvest Moon DS
Touch Detective (which reminds me that Kaitou Rousseau probably would be a good game for Konphused - simply because it needs drawing skills...XDD)
Magical Starsigns
Bomberman Land Touch! (WiFi! WiFi! WiFi!)

That's of course, not counting the Wii (probably Zelda at launch, Rayman as well, Wario looks fun too.....Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) So wouldn't mind if some of the DS games get pushed back - as long as it's not FF III (wakakaka)
