2019 Game Spending Thread

New year has started as well as a new Game Spending Thread for those who want to list their spendings on gaming.

2018 was a good year for me with some great Switch games and even some great 3DS games (or was it just one). Wonder what 2019 will bring...

Kicked off February with SEGA AGES: Phantasy Star. It’s a quarter off right now (in percentage). Brought it down even further with those gold coins.

Though I have only got a couple games received in January, I also chipped into games arriving in the coming months, but of course I can withdraw anytime from those.
