Gaming Purchases - Juni 2020
Juni 2nd:
Visited my mom again today. She had another good day and we walked a full lap around the entire hospital, great weather yesterday too, and on the way home I visited GameStop again.

Monster High Ghoul Spirit

Juni 11th:
Went ahead and ordered some games, mainly for my recently purchased Wii U since I didn't have anything to play on it other than regular Wii games.
I placed orders from two separate places a few of days ago (Juni 8th) and the first package arrived today. The games that arrived today were all new and sealed copies.
PlayStation 3:
Ultimate Action Triple Pack (Just Cause 2, Sleeping Dogs and the Tomb Raider 2013 Reboot)
Wii U:
Art Academy Atellier
Call of Duty Black Ops II
Legend of Kay Anniversary
LEGO Batman 3 Beyond Gotham
LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens
The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juni 12th:
Second order of games arrived today. All of these were used copies.
UPDATE: Two of the four games didn't work! Zelda Wind Waker HD was damaged on the data side of the disc so it didn't work at all, the Wii U didn't even recognize it as a Wii U game, and ZombiU was the american release, which doesn't work on my european Wii U system. It should've been labelled as an import but they hadn't noticed and sold it as a regular game by mistake.
LEGO Batman 2 and Super Mario 3D World both worked, but there was extensive water damage to the Super Mario 3D World cover so the paper was all gross and nasty, and the LEGO Batman 2 disc has some rather worrying looking scratches on it.
The scratches on LEGO Batman 2 were on the outer part of the disc and the game starts up without any issues. Hopefully they're shallow enough that it will remain fully playable without any noticeable issues, but until I've played through the entire game 100%, I can't say for certain.
I contacted the store about this and because these were all Wii U games, they didn't have any more copies to replace them with.
I am to return the two games that didn't work and then I would get a 10% discount on the order for the remaining two games as "goodwill", as they phrased it in their reply.
Wii U:
LEGO Batman 2 DC Super Heroes (some scratches on the disc, only playing through it and 100%-ing the game will tell if it will have problems later on or not)
Super Mario 3D World (game was fine but the cover had severe water damage and looked gross, grimy and nasty as a result)
The Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker HD (didn't work at all, there was damage on the data side of the disc and the Wii U didn't even recognize the disc)
ZombiU (american release, unplayable on my european Wii U)

May 31st:
Today was Mothers Day in Sweden and I went to visit my mom who's been in the hospital recovering from surgery for pancreatic cancer for about a month.
We were allowed to see each other outside only due to the corona virus. She's well enough now that she could walk outside with a stroller holding her drip thing, and today the weather was very warm and sunny so it worked well.
On the way home I took a little detour to the only GameStop store still open in Sweden (they're open until 18th July), and I found some stuff!
All games were second-hand/pre-owned/used. Other stuff was new.

Wii:
Baroque
PlayStation Portable:
Beaterator
Championship Manager
Football Manager Handheld 2010
Gunpey

PlayStation Vita:
Aegis of Earth Protonovus Assault
FIFA 13
FIFA 14
Xbox 360:
Need for Speed ProStreet (Classics)
Collectibles/Other:
three Crash Bandicoot keyring figure blindbags (two were Crash, the other was Coco)
two Coco Bandicoot Totaku figures
a Lara Croft Temple of Osiris Totaku figure
two more packs of PlayStation themed decals (same type as I purchased recently)
