With the advent of Backloggd being a more advanced version of this site I’ve made an account there, will probably keep this one updated still since it’s been a good home for tracking for over a decade

I played through the entire story of Xenoblade, and I believe my in-game clock was about 67 hours.

I didn't do EVERYTHING however, lol. If I did, it would probably take 150 hours or more, the game is HUGE! It's totally worth playing through, I agree with the people who called it one of the best JRPG's of the last generation, if not the best. I'm not a big RPG fan, but even I loved the hell out of it, I'm sure you'll really enjoy it too.

Finally completed my first and perfect run of Fire Emblem Mystery of the Emblem after almost 6 months of playing it on and off.

Very excellent game, and the first foreign game I own, though I don't plan on getting many more aside from possibly the other five Fire Emblem games exclusive to Japan.

Didn't play it on the actual cart, of course , I only know like 4 Japanese words and I can't read it at all lol

I'm A now. I just haven't updated the status in a while.

Anyway, I don't think there's any weapon that's guaranteed to be good all the time, considering the different stages and game modes of Ranked have different demands. I think it's more important to get really familiar with your preferred weapon and know its limitations and strengths.

I've been sticking with the Tentatek Splattershot for a month or so, and that works well. The Suction Bombs are strong, especially in Tower Control, and the Inkzooka is good for breaking a stalemate or just taking out a sniper. The .96 Gal Deco is also really good. Great range and power, a Kraken, and a Splash Wall to totally lock down stages with narrow chokepoints (e.g. Port Mackerel).

Ah yeah, I can definitely understand. 99% of the time if given the choice, I'd rather have the original hardware and cart/disc of the game in question. But some if those compilations are really well done, and they're so convenient, and waaaaay cheaper, it can be hard to ignore them, Rare Replay being 1 example.

I have the sonic collection for PS3, HOTD 2 & 3 Return, Mario All-Stars, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Mega Man Zero collection, and I know there are some others. I did fork out some money and grabbed a rare Sega CDX unit, and it came with a 5-title disc with stuff like Streets of Rage and Golden Axe. The other super-rare system I want is a Turbo Duo.

Neo Geo was bad ass! That Metal Slug collection was really good. I'd love to own the console, but the prices for those games (non-CD) are nuts.
