I’ve been waiting for the sun to come up. Waiting for the showers to stop. Waiting for the penny to drop. One time. And I’ve been standing in a cloud of plans. Standing on the shifting sands. Hoping for an open hand. One time.

Post #3 (or my opening post) has consistently been updated. Literally there have been a lot of repurchased games this year, including Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Pokémon Shield and Pokémon Sword content, which I was surprised The Pokémon Company/Nintendo announced that there would be a physical version of the games preloaded with the expansion pass. So that pass was something I regret getting on its own.

There were some new games and some that came from the failed Wii U console. As for this year, it’s pretty much finalized with the exception of some CERO imports that I ordered from PlayAsia: Yo-Kai Watch 1 (HD version from the original Nintendo 3DS game) and Yo-Kai Watch 4++. It’s just I have to play the waiting game with international mail...

Spent a little more than a year before. Not all on Switch, but most of it.

Wish there was a feature on the Switch to make local backups on an external HD connected to the docking station. Would probably download/buy more games if I could easily make room on the SD card and not have to redownload the big games.

Mar. $0
April. $10
May. $90

So, if you subtract the price of my new Xbox, I actually would have spent about the same amount on games this year as I did last year. Funny looking at my comments from last year where I wasn't expecting to buy next gen, but I was also expecting to buy more full priced games this year. Looks like I only bought 3 full priced games which is actually not too bad.

As for next year, what i spend on games really depends on if a Switch Pro is released. I think I'll grab a PS5 but I have $500 in credit so it won't break the bank.

COVID made me not interested in keeping track of this. I doubt I'll resume in 21.
