    Why not sign up for a (free) account?
     
    Oh man, Millenium Girl for $20 is tempting, but Bravely Default is so close. And so it's EOIV, still. They released this game way too early.

    Or released EOIV way too late.

    That was my logic too. I haven't played EOIV yet (I own it), so I'm passing for now. I'm sure it'll drop in price again someday.

    Unepic looks interesting.

    Simon's Quest, eh? That means Dracula's Curse is closer to being released. Good.

    Still waiting on Super Mario Bros. 3, Nintendo. What's the hold up?

    Will download Unepic today. Enjoyup is an insta-purchase to me.

    I'd be interested in hearing how the game is. Been in the mood for some 2D, sidescrolling exploration lately. I'm not overly fond of these spoofy games with lots of pop culture references these days (Retro City Rampage made me hate it, I think), but Unepic looks kind of interesting.

    I'm gonna get CV2 and I'm all over Unepic.

    I'll be getting Simon's Quest as well, even though it's easily my least-favorite Castlevania game. But I have to buy it, because I buy ALL Castlevania games. On principal.

    Yeah, I may get Unepic as well.

    Added to the Negative World database.

    Good man.

    Buy it for the system it belongs on while you're at it. Kthx.

    @roykoopa64
    Silly idea, but the game itself looks very promising.

    I agree, you should totally buy an NES cart, Grant.

    Abdooooo linked us to his local store in the "I've Gone Retro" thread, and they're selling it for $39.99.
    I'm guessing some company is wholly unfamiliar with the Virtual Console.

    These deluxe digital promo codes make impulse buying a bit too easy

    I decided to get Unepic only if I had credit waiting to be redeemed on that site, and sure enough I'm now sitting here watching the game download, heh.

    Is there a leaderboard for that game? If so, congratulations!

    No worries, I own that game on every platform it's available on! I still have the NES cart somewhere in my garage, I think...!

    Unepic looks cool... tempted to by Castlevania II on the 3DS, this is a little embarrassing but I've never beat it!

    If anyone wants to buy my Castlevania II cartridge for $39.99...

    Unepic is very good. Recommended to anyone, really.

    Quack! Was that a complete set or just the cartridge, though?
