Puyo Puyo is fun to play but the only legit copy that I have of it is the mini game version found in Project Mirai.

All of the series, for maybe 1-2 games never left Japan. Here's what I have for it:

Super Puyo Puyo SFC
Super Puyo Puyo Tsuu (regular version, bought Remix off Ebay, guy listed it wrong, so I got this one from him instead)
Puyo Puyo MD
Puyo Puyo Tsuu MD
Puyo Puyo Tsuu Saturn
Puyo Puyo Tsuu Ketteiban PS1
Puyo Puyo Sun Ketteiban PS1
Sega Ages: Puyo Puyo Tsuu Perfect Set PS2

That's a few games, and I still have the desire to get more, though Puyo Puyo Tsuu on PCE CD is impossible now as it has hit the $100 mark. The PCE Puyo's have the honor of having the main character Arle voiced by Kitono Mitsuishi, aka Sailor Moon.

Ahahahaha! That is the reason for the price increase.

Yet the first game on PCE CD remains cheap, and she voiced Arle there too.  ;D

Dunno. I concider myself a sailor moon fan but that doesn't mean I'll get everything that features the voice actor's talent in.

Kid Icarus Uprising. Up to the final chapter.
It's a decent game, the most of it feels like a decent transition from 2d to 3D and there's still a part that feels like quite a deviation from its predecessors.

For instance, Pit not being able to jump, which means the platforming itself is limited.
I appreciate that they've actually placed platforms with no edge in the game though.
It makes me feel as if the game is moreso like a 2d game extruded into 3D, which not many developers have the balls to do these days.

Not being able to see behind the player is probably the biggest issue with the controls, the other being that the 3dsXL (if you have a larger 3ds) can get tiresome to hold. It reminds me of Metroid Prime Hunters where even holding the regular DS Lite became tiresome. However,
I fully appreciate games that fully utilise the controls of a touch screen based system. Perhaps not for 2d games, but those which require accuracy, it makes me happy that the game was designed in such a way. I like that the player has to correct for player and enemy movement, particularly when charge attacking on the go.

It's a shame it also doesn't seem like it's that long of a game. I've liked the arcade style feel of the gameplay though, it's kind of taken elements from other games, particularly the grind rails from Sonic and the shooting from games like Starfox.

The difficulty system is also a very fair challenging and well thought out one imo, even though I prefer to opt for a classic difficulty setting which can't be altered.

Been trying to play GGXrdR, but the lobby function won't work properly, so mainly have to play it in the player lobbies and offline.  When I do get a match it's really fun.

Also Ys: Oath in Felghana.  Why is this game so fun?

I've experience this too. The original game was boss, but this one, though different, is still fun to jump right into.

I could never get into Xrd.
I was a massive fan of GG1, X and played my share of midnight carnival. But for some reason Xrd just never scratched me where I was itching.

Huh
I've only played a bit of +R before jumping into Xrd, which is prolly why I feel differently.

I've just finished lollipop chainsaw today for PS3. I haven't had so much fun with a game for a long time. While simple controls and nothing special of a story, the dialogues were hilarious. Still i'm waiting for Legends of heroes trails of cold steel II to arive.

Lollipop Chainsaw? There's another game that's been on my backlog forever.

Still playing the Sonic Ultimate Collection Thingy. Got a couple trophies left for the Vectorman games...I remember liking the first one when I was a kid, but I kind of suck at it now.
It's like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, but instead it's Who Wants Fried Chicken? I do.
