There have been some prolonged game droughts on Nintendo's little white console.  What is happening in the last month or so is crazy.  There are so many games being released which I want to check out, to say the least.  But I'm finding myself indecisive in even buying them.  Here's a list of some which come to mind:

1. Silent Hill - Shattered Memories (sorry gg, still haven't got this)

2. Fragile Dreams - Farewell Ruins of the Moon

3. Red Steel 2

4. Endless Ocean 2 (i can really feel the hatred of teh gg now)

5. Tatsunoko vs Capcom (this I actually did buy just before the flood)

and coming just around the corner:

6. Sakura Wars: So Long My Love

7. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle

8. Rune Factory: Frontier

9. Monster Hunter Tri

and I could even include...

10. Super Mario Galaxy 2

11. Sin and Punishment 2

12.  Trauma Team

13.  Metroid: Other M

I won't even bother with the games on the Virtual Console and Wiiware as this list would just get too long but there's plenty of great content there too.  Somehow i'm tempted to wait for all of them to get down to hobo bin price level but then i feel bad because these are all efforts I'd like to show my support for.  Who'd have thought too many good games would be a bad thing

BTW I want 1,3, and of course 10. Maybe if cheap I will get 4, 7 and 9.

 i think all those games with the exception of galaxy 2 will be cheap soon enough.  actually i just remembered that amazon deal on galaxy which means that is already cheap before it's released.

Since I already have Red Steel 2, all I'm wanting right now is SMG 2, Cave Story, and maybe Metroid Other M.

 i want cave story as well.  haven't bought anything from the wii shop in some time.  other m is one i have some reservations about, but mainly because i hold most metroid games in extremely high esteem so the expectations are  very high

Rune Factory is a game that will give you approximately 60+ hours if you get it.  A lot of those other games probably won't give you half of that. I'm not saying that's necessarily a pro or a con, just that if you get sucked in you won't have time for much else.

That being said, along with Silent Hill I think are the ones that are going to get the smallest shipped numbers and are most likely to sell out and and ultimately will be the toughest ones to track down later. You might be able to put Fragile Dreams in that mix too.

Rune ...

Is the only one on the list I have not got or pre-orded yet (of the ones I plan to get).  I've completely backed out of Fragile.  EO2 interests me a lot, not because of GG's boosterism, but because of Mekere.  If she is so dedicated to the game she is willing to come here it must be truly amazing.

Except that NMH2 is not on the same level as GoW3 or Bayonetta. I love action games, NMH is not a great action game (the first, maybe part 2 is better). LKS is all taste. Red Steel 2 is a game I want but its just doesn't interest me as much as the games I get at launch. MH3 is weird, I didn't like the demo that much but I think it doesn't give a good idea of the full game. I just don't like I want to get into a big 100+ hour game right now.

Nope, LKS is all 9s and 8s.

(Yes technically there are 3 scores below that. Which you will find with pretty much any high scoring game.)

Dvader said:

I meant the decision not to buy it is based on taste. I don't feel the urge to play it, I dont care what it scored.

Ah that makes sense then.

Even if it does mean you have terrible taste.

i knew i'd forgotten something.  number 11 added!!

Yodariquo said:

Yeah, I'd pretty much like to play all of those (already have Tatsunoko, though).

 yes, it was the only one i had already bought as well.  i have since yesterday ordered fragile dreams so that's 2 down now.

This year seems to mark the coming of age of the system, with a sufficient amount of quality titles almost all across the genre spectrum, and 3rd party efforts that finally rival the 1st party ones regarding quality and polish.

Yeah, I agree. It's hit that SNES/ Dreamcast level of quality (about 30-40 titles that no-one would argue).

 and also these are all gamer's games and even though the system will never shake off the "casual" notoriety and get the credit its library deserves, any old time gamer worth their salt would be missing out enormously by ignoring it.
