#SlazoCollection Day 408. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment! I remain a sucker for franchise musou games like this, as I run around slaying things as Zelda wishing more of the actual main games let her lead.

#SlazoCollection Day 407. The Art, Style and Sketchbook of Loish! Not one but three Loish artbooks! I can’t really remember a time when Loish wasn’t one of the most forefront artists online, and their works have remained captivating over the years, so these books were a must.

#SlazoCollection Day 406. Raidou Remastered! Its been nice seeing some of the old SMT spinoffs get a fresh lick of paint for current consoles, and for the franchise to not just be endless Persona games. And with this coming under Devil Summoner, I think I’ve somehow got versions of all of those now?

#SlazoCollection Day 405. TimeSplitters 2! The iconic multiplayer shooter! Except I must admit this one mostly passed me and my friends of the time by. Especially since I wasn’t a shooty bang guy until the 360 era. But awesome to finally have it in my collection now.

#SlazoCollection Day 404. Ai Hoshino Nendoroid! Another Oshi no Ko Nendo! Because Ai is great for the definitely very long time she sticks around in the series honest guv. The fact the series remains as good as it does without her is testament to its strength.

#SlazoCollection Day 403. Super Mario Maker 2! I’m always surprised Nintendo don’t lean more into these game making style experiences. Imagine an official Pokémon one… But yes, seeing people’s creations in this and their evolution from the first game was a beautiful time. Followed by endless raging.

#SlazoCollection Day 402. Tales of Vesperia & ToV Definitive Edition! It was only recently I realised I didn’t actually own the original 360 version of Vesperia, so made sure to pick up what might be the most acclaimed Tales game? Between this or Symphonia…

#SlazoCollection Day 401. Sombra plushie! I… don’t remember getting this? Huh. Anyway, Sombra was one of my mains on Overwatch 1 back in the day before all of the Actiblizz shitiness and OW2 idiocy. Enjoyed being able to mess with other players abilities and vanish away.

#SlazoCollection Day 400. Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes! I was delighted to pick up this bonkers… remake? Enhanced port? Alternative vision? Either way, got this earlier in the year, and can’t wait to watch it blow my tiny mind just like the sodding footsteps did in the original.
November 22, 2025 at 12:07 PM
#SlazoCollection Day 399. WarioWare Gold! One of the few WarioWare games I’ve not played yet, though I must admit I’ve gotten this mixed up with DIY in my mind, but no, this is the “best of” style game, so I should probably play it just to see how many I recognise.

#SlazoCollection Day 398. What If? A great webcomic to great spinoff to great book and now great Youtube channel! Also pulling this out reminded me of the sheer number of books I have here to read, if time could pause for a year or two that’d be great.
November 20, 2025 at 8:06 PM
#SlazoCollection Day 397. Watch Dogs Legion! I still remember the hype around the original Watch Dogs way back when and then reality slowly tearing that game’s vision apart. As for Legion, it’s fine. It’s a standard Ubisoft open world title, it ticks all those boxes and nothing more.

#SlazoCollection Day 396. Metroid Prime Trilogy! The first time I played Prime before getting the Gamecube versions much later. Not even the only example of this, the first version of Resi 4 I played was on the Wii. I have barely touched this trilogy though, and really need to fix that one day.
November 18, 2025 at 12:01 PM
#SlazoCollection Day 395. D.Gray-Man DVDs! Ah yes, the “complete” collection, in so much as everything Funimation could be bothered to dub. Which was half. Not that it matters too much, the manga with Hoshino’s fantastic art absolutely trounces TMS’s efforts.
November 17, 2025 at 12:04 PM
#SlazoCollection Day 394. Nelke & The Legendary Alchemists! You’d think an Atelier anniversary game would be a guaranteed home run considering the rich history the franchise has to pull from, and yet everything I’ve seen and heard from players of this… maybe not.
November 16, 2025 at 4:23 PM
#SlazoCollection Day 393. Burnout! Burnout’s always felt like one of those franchises that started with the second game, so I’m happy to now have the original in my collection. And while Paradise remains my fave, the classic style Burnouts hold a lot of childhood memories for me too.
November 15, 2025 at 11:28 AM
#SlazoCollection Day 392. Horsea plushie! Get it? Because it’s a seahorse! I have a few memories of Misty’s Horsea from the anime, though I don’t think she used it much? I’ve never had one on my squads either, though Kingdra would be a fun mon to use…

#SlazoCollection Day 391. Gran Turismo 2! The GT game I played the most and still feel like I made no progress in. The licenses! The upgrading! The staring at 24 hour endurance races wondering how anybody could pull off such a thing…
November 13, 2025 at 7:36 PM
#SlazoCollection Day 390. Bleach: The Blade of Fate! Past Slazo in shambles as I wandered around our local indie game store, spotted this, and realised this was different to the other Bleach DS game I own. Where were these in shops during my Bleach years!? 😂
November 12, 2025 at 6:54 PM
#SlazoCollection Day 389. Tomoyo Daidouji Nendoroid! Tomoyo from Cardcaptors! As a kid, awww, what a good friend, making costumes for and filming all of Sakura’s card capturing antics. As an adult, oh right, she did all that because… yeah…
November 11, 2025 at 7:05 PM
#SlazoCollection Day 388. Donkey Kong Bananza! Finally found it for under £50, so it’s mine! Which also makes this my first physical Switch 2 game. That Amazon decided to deliver in the world’s largest box for… some reason. Interested to see if this’ll click with me as I’m not usually into DK games.
November 10, 2025 at 5:59 PM
#SlazoCollection Day 387. Star Wars Outlaws! Well aware of the not great reviews this one got, though every time I saw it in action it seemed fine. Like a decent enough open world game if you could get it on the cheap, which I now have.

#SlazoCollection Day 386. Isola Signed Print! Way back when, when Comixology and Comics Alliance still existed, I did read a bunch of comics and buy Humble Bundles of them (before they went to shit as well), and one of those came with this lovely signed print for Isola!
November 8, 2025 at 11:28 AM
#SlazoCollection Day 385. Digimon Survive! Only picked this one up recently on the cheap, as while I’d been a fan of the JRPG Digimon games, this one and its combination of visual novel and strategy elements just… always seemed weird. Everyone I know who played it liked it though, so what do I know.
November 7, 2025 at 3:45 PM
#SlazoCollection Day 384. Spider-Man 2! From a time before I gave any kind of figs about superheroes, I was aware this was the peak superhero game, such reverence it was talked with. No idea if it still holds up, especially nowadays against Insomniac’s games, but good to have it in my collection.
