My first exposure to Mega Man games was actually the Star Force series on the DS. The Battle Network series was its spiritual predecessor, and I quite enjoyed the first game in that series. It took me a while to track down a copy of the sequel, and now that I have it, I haven't had a chance to play it. #retrocollective#retrocollectiveeurope #rcecollectember #retrocollective #rceurope #retrocommunity #retrocoalition #cartcollective #igersnintendo #instagamer #instagaming #nintendo #gba #gameboy #megaman #capcom #battlenetwork https://www.instagram.com/p/BoMpxefF3bo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cgwa24n9ytqj

And because I still didn't have enough Metroidvania games on my backlog, here's Song of the Deep on the PS4, developed by Insomniac Games. Bought it about a year ago, still have not played it :') #rcecollectember2018 #rcecollectember #retrocollective #retrocollectiveeurope #rceurope #retrocommunity #retrocoalition #disccollective #igersplaystation #sony #ps4 #playstation4 #4theplayers #playstation #insomniac #insomniacgames #metroidvania #instagamer #instagaming https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn4I6KoF2kr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zkfkdgbadero

I'm noticing a trend with my backlog: a lot of these games are co-op. This one I played most of the way through with a friend from uni, so it annoys me that I haven't finished it yet. #rcecollectember2018 #rcecollectember #retrocollective #retrocollectiveeurope #rceurope #retrocommunity #retrocoalition #disccollective #igersnintendo #nintendo #supermario #mario #wiiu #platformer #instagamer #instagaming https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnt5vXBFZwP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14wjtwa3y3ooa

Back in high school, I tried ordering this game off ebay. Turned out to be a bootleg copy that wouldn't save. Last year, I tried again, this time from CeX. This one is legit, but I haven't started playing it yet. #rcecollectember2018 #rcecollectember #retrocollective #retrocollectiveeurope #rceurope #retrocommunity #retrocoalition #cartcollective #igersnintendo #instagamer #instagaming #nintendo #gba #gameboy #castlevania #konami #metroidvania https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnp_71iFoAZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5l6m4jj6lk40

I really wanted to re-play Cafe Story, so I bought the definitive version of Cave Story, and then I never got around to playing Cave Story. Tale as old as time, really. #rcecollectember2018 #rcecollectember #retrocollective #retrocollectiveeurope #rceurope #retrocommunity #retrocoalition #cartcollective #igersnintendo #instagamer #instagaming #nintendo #switch #nintendoswitch #joyconboyz #cavestory #nicalis #metroidvania #indiegame https://www.instagram.com/p/BnpATmAltff/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f25l1fs7bbdv

The Inside + Limbo double-pack combined Playdead's critically acclaimed indie horror games into one minimalistic package. Whilst it is totally doable to play through the whole thing in one go (and is the recommended way to play it as per the review from The Guardian on the back of the box), I started with Limbo, and it can't keep my attention for more than half an hour at a time. #rcecollectember2018 #rcecollectember #retrocollective #retrocollectiveeurope #rceurope #retrocommunity #retrocoalition #disccollective #igersplaystation #sony #ps4 #playstation4 #4theplayers #playstation #playdead #indiegame #505games #horror #instagamer #instagaming https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnk-yV7l-XH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1408bpa9xisaw

Re-play the entire Kingdom Hearts series, they said. It'll be fun, they said. Next up on my backlog is Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX on the PS4. This disc contains the definitive versions of Kingdom Hearts 1, 2, Re:Chain of Memories and Birth By Sleep, as well as the cutscenes from Re:Coded and 358/2 days. Apart from showcasing how ridiculous the series' naming conventions are, it is also a LOT of content. And not all of it is good. I realised I really don't like KH1 and Re:CoM. I enjoyed them back on the PS2 because of the story. Already knowing what happens, and playing them alongside the superior KH2 and BBS... Well, they kinda suck. #rcecollectember2018 #rcecollectember #retrocollective #retrocollectiveeurope #rceurope #retrocommunity #retrocoalition #disccollective #igersplaystation #sony #ps4 #playstation4 #4theplayers #playstation #squareenix #disney #kingdomhearts https://www.instagram.com/p/BnN6ZyRFF19/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10ydav450tj1o

Welcome to #rcecollectember2018 where the themes are made up and the posts don't matter. I thought what better thing to count down to than my ever-growing backlog? So my first entry for this year's #rcecollectember is Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition on the Nintendo Switch. I was really looking forward to this game and pre-ordered a Day One PSVita copy from Play-Asia. But then I didn't have time to play it and the Ultimate Edition was announced, which has all the DLC on the cartridge. So I bought that on the Switch, and I played through the main story. But since I went out and bought the version with all the DLC, that means I have to play all the DLC. Turns out you can have too much of a good thing, because there's a lot of DLC and it's really repetitive to the point where it discourages me from finishing the game. #retrocollective #retrocollectiveeurope #rceurope #retrocommunity #retrocoalition #cartcollective #igersnintendo #instagamer #instagaming #nintendo #switch #joyconboyz #wayforward #shantae #metroidvania #nintendoswitch https://www.instagram.com/p/BnLmqbflWd0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s8m0vsu1ccoo
