Spent a total of 89170 Yen / 5870 SEK / 794 Dollars / 634 Euro / 497 GBP on game stuff.

I saved up for my Japan trip by not going on ebay almost at all, and now that I've been to Japan, it'll be a long time before I need to again!


My regrets: Didn't find Turtles in Time, the Famicom 3D glasses, or any GameCenter CX stuff.

Very nice!  Hope you had a good time!

Wow, you have a remarkable eye for quality. Tokyo Disneyland, Keroppi 2, Saiyuki World 2, NY Nyankies, Spartan X2, Ninja Crusaders, Nemo, Contra, etc. etc. etc. Too many gems in there to count, that's what I'd call an amazing haul. Congrats on the additions.
So ends another chapter in the glorious legend of the Ninja... Until next time...

I did my research! Before leaving I went through the NES and SNES lists on Gamefaqs, wrote down all the games that looked remotely decent and then I tried them briefly on emulator to test and made lists on all the games I'd consider buying. That way I made sure I didnt buy any bad games on the basis on it having a cool cover, for instance.
