| I'm interested in how you find those. I only know what I've picked up from Serebii and Bulbapedia, but they seem to have much more interesting and in-depth plots than the anime or the games.
Plus: evil gym leaders. |

| I have read the first arc in English and would heartily recommend them to any Pokemon fan. A different adaptation of the games to the anime, and with more of a sense of progress and development. |

|  All sorts of bollocks around town at the weekend, like a big Starfox Zero guide for 49p, two Game Boy games (Blades of Steel and Chase H.Q.) for a couple of quid in CEX, and four SEGA Saturn demo discs for £1.99 in British Heart Foundation. I also bought Mafia III and FIFA 18 in a Barnardo's charity shop soon after I took that photo, for £1.99 each. |

Those are cracking - I read up through Johto ages ago and I really ought to revisit them.  Cappa: Is that a hardback guide for SF:0? Looks well-made, at least. |

| These come yesterday and it takes me to 11 Dreamcast games to go  how my pay lands the only new game I'm buying is Assassins Creed Odyessy (I'll talk about that more in October thread) that I want to get Dreamcast down to single digits this month. I knew I had Spider-Man to cash in at CEX also thought I'd clear out some other PS4/ONE games as I was never going to go back to Dragon Quest Heroes, I was going to use all this as well towards Dreamcast games but I saw these  I still got some cash and currently winning an auction for Samba de Amigo. |

| You were a bawhair away from getting the Japanese version of Beach Spikers from me for last year's Secret Santa, but I decided to keep it! It's such a quality, SEGA-ey game.
Jay - aye it is a hardback guide for SF0, but they're going cheap loads of places. Like the game, it must have badly flopped.

| Makes sense. I suppose it's different from a traditional book in that its value is linked directly to the game itself. I got a delivery from Fangamer, and I was very impressed! - Album of what I received:

| I just wanted it so I could have a physical edition, to be fair! If you're more fussed about playing the game as opposed to owning, just go for a download I'd say. The price of shipping along with the items themselves did rankle me a wee bit when I ordered it, but the quality of what I receive made it all worth it in the end.  |

| Thats some sweet looking stuf there Jay, was that Shovel Knight thing a badge or a sticker? Also my retail copy of Dead Cells came with a mini art book inside too. |

| A sticker, it was. My copy of Dead Cells did too - seems like a trend for these smaller titles. |

Much sooner have physical for something like Undertale on VITA |

| That Mother 3 art book was class! And frankly the fanslation boys/girls deserve your hard-earned currency more than Nintendo do where Mother 3's concerned. I still can't get around some of the genius they showed ('Fassad'). |

| Well, it's thanks to them that I even had the chance to play the game in the first place, so you're absolutely right with that one. Nintendo can get my money for Mother 3 when they remember it exists and port it to the Switch for western audiences to experience. ...like that'll happen anytime soon.  |

| Nice Special Reserve sticker.  In Bristol there is still a Special Reserve sign on Gloucester Road where one of their stores was based - brings back memories of the back pages of many a magazine. |

| Two through the letter box, and two from an Oxfam down the street.  It's not often that you see N64 games in a charity shop. That Oxfam had quite a lot of N64 stuff, but I either already had it or thought it was a bit pricey for what it was - World Cup 98 for £13.99, anyone? |

| I bought this:  - More pics:
- more pics 2:
---- I got this purely for the handheld grip as I've never liked how the Switch feels due to the flat back of the joycons, it doesn't look like much in that first pic but after using it for a few hours I'm chuffed to bits with it. |

| That does indeed look a fair bit more comfortable to hold. I don't think I use my Switch in handheld mode often enough to warrant buying something like that myself, though. |

| I use it a bunch, but my hands have moulded themselves into Switch-holding claws. |

| Aye my Switch usage is probably about 80-90 percent on the TV but I can see that changing now I have this grip, especially when there's games that are more suited to handheld play or the rare ones that can only be played that way like Severed. |
