For those jumping to next-gen with launch Xbox 360...

What other console games are looking like they are going to be must-buys for you on the current consoles. For me, I sold my xbox to fund the 360, but still have the PSP and PS2.

I am definetely going to be picking up:
Soul Calibur 3
Smackdown vs. Raw 2006
and am really tempted to pick up Spartan: Total Warrior.
PSP GTA

I am trying really hard to just dedicate all my money toward next gen, but there are just too many games that look good coming out.
 
Zelda: TP for sure.

I still want Conker for Xbox.

I'm selling my PS2 on ebay this week.

Don't own a PSP.

I'll buy a DS when Mario Kart is released.
 
I think Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack was my final purchase of the generation - and an awesome purchase, indeed!

Next I think I'll get Advance Wars DS, plus I'll return to MGS3 and GTA: SA which I haven't put enough hours yet into.

I've been tempted to get a high end PC for Battlefield 2 and Half-Life 2, but haven't found an beautiful+powerful combination yet.

But Tree Sitty is where it's really at.
 
shadow of the colossus

Some damn SRPG: PSP (I hope!)

might get a DS for castlevania...

so uh yeah, I have lots of stuff to play. And the only reason I want an x360 for is FFXI! (maybe 99 knights)

edit: damn I forgot about FF12! and possibly grandia III...
 
The only current-gen games I see in my future are FFXII and KH2. Maybe a couple more like KUF.

I am ready for the next gen :)

edit: oh, and shadow of the colossus too

Lots of handheld titles that I'm too lazy to list
 
Shit, that Resident Evil 4 collectors edition just got added to the list too. Damn...

I still am interested in Burnout, SSX4 and Marvel Nemesis as well, but will probably pass on them.
 
I'm selling my xbox and ps2 tonight. keeping all the games for BC and will finish out this gen playing RE4 for my GC.
 
hmmm, currently, i'm thinking i'll be buying stubbs the zombie, shadow of the colossus, and maybe dragon quest VIII.

really gonna depend on when these games release. if its anywhere near 360 launch, they'll probably get skipped entirely.

sadly
 
Shit, about the only thing left I want this gen is Burnout Revenge for XBox.

Yeah, things might be a bit thin for a while but I am selling off shit to finance my future systems.

Only way the wife will let me have it. ;)

Edit:

Well, I will be getting a few items for the PSP. :p
 
A whole mess of games that will keep me occupied for quite a while. Unlike less generation where I ran out and bought the systems on day one, I'll be waiting for price drops on the new systems.

GC
Legend of Zelda: TP

PS2
We Love Katamari
SMT: Digital Devil Saga 2
Kingdom Hearts II
Dragon Quest VIII
Final Fantasy XII
Radiata Stories
Grandia III
Shadow of the Colossus
Okami
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Never Ending Tomorrow

Xbox
Conker when it's $20 (already own Ninja Gaiden)
 
Most of the time I don't look that far ahead for what games I want. I look at videos and occasionally read a preview or two along the way. Once the game is close to releasing I'll skim the forums and see what the noise is on the game and then check out more videos. My sure bets for the moment though-the new Zelda for GameCube,Sega Rally'05 if it ever manages to release on the PS2(someday) and Far Cry Instincs and the new Serious Sam sequel for the Xbox.
 
Maybe Twighlight Princess and Battlefield for xbox, apart from that, im not interested in any upcoming games on the 3 platforms . Im over with this gen anyway, bring on next gen gaming!
 
I've recently decided to not get the 360 at launch, there's not much there that I need to have on day one. Xbox 360, I'll see you next Spring or something.

I'm still going to buy a handful of current generation games, but not many. SSX4, Tales of Legendia, and Final Fantasy XII whenever it gets here. I will also buy Ninja Gaiden Black and Fable: The Lost Chapters, but I wouldn't consider them anywhere near being new releases. There could be others, but doubtful.
 
Since everyone is just listing whatever

oh right totally forgot about Fable Lost Chapters.

So its only Fable Lost Chapters, thats 100 percent guaranteed first day purchase
 
On the PS2, it's biohazard 4 and Resident Evil 4. On the GameCube, Zelda, Pokemon XD and maybe Fire Emblem. I'll wait until the Revolution's out for stuff like Mario Baseball and Mario Strikers. On the DS, it's Animal Crossing, New Super Mario Bros., Mario Kart and nintendogs. Nothing for the current Xbox or the PSP at the moment.

At the Xbox360 launch, it'll be RR6 and PD0 for me, and DOA4 when it comes out shortly after.

I thought Black was PS2 exclusive?

I believe PS2 is the lead platform, but that it was going to XBX too... at least I thought so. I dunno, to be honest I'm a bit confused by its status.

Ancestor_of_Erdrick said:
Your list is crazy. I want your job :P

My list is just what I want, who knows how long it's going to take for me to collect it all. I'll be bargain bin hunting for years after the death of PS2 :P Also, I should add Digital Devil Saga 2 but I have that pre-ordered.

OK I must have missed the memo or something. This is actually looking good?

No, I'm just a slobbering 24 fanboy. Plus people who played it at E3 said it was decent, which is acceptable for my fanboy love.

heh, i hear yea. i may pick this up to, if just to finally have a game that may interest my girlfriend a bit and get her involved with my hobby
 
I'm also selling my Xbox to help fund my Xbox 360.

My PS2 is dead, so the only working gaming system I have left is my PSP. I'm definately getting GTA for it, but I haven't seen much else that interests me.

Gotchya. It did kinda stick out compared to the others on the list. :)

Personally there's enough good games coming out on current gen that Im willing to hold off on 360 for a bit, I'll probably wait until I take the HD dive first. The two games Im most interested in (CoD 2 and Obliv) are coming out for PC anyway.
 
Shadow of the Colossus
We Love Katamari!
Soul Calibur III
Guitar Heroes
Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistance
Okami
Zelda
Under the Knife
Sonic Rush
Castlevania: DOS

With all these games coming out in the next few months, I think I'll probably wait a few months to buy the 360.

My main hope, at worst, is if the game sucks it gives some interesting storyline tidbits.

I'm getting a 360, just not at launch. Actually, I misread the title of this thread so it probably was the wrong place to post my list :P

It's EA. It will be on Xbox.
 
I still haven't made up my mind regarding the XBox360 launch, but regardless of whether I get one or not, there are about 20 games this fall that seem like Must Buys to me on the old consoles.

Even if I do get a 360, I think that $60 price point is going to make me extra picky. I'll probably only get stuff like PGR3 that I fully expect to be AAA.
 
I've already sold my PS2. I'll be selling my Xbox by the end of the month. I'll hold onto the Cube for the time being.

The only games I'll be picking up for the rest of the year:

Zelda: Twilight Princess
Fire Emblem
 
i'm not gonna buy xbox 360 untill a mistwalker game or halo 3 comes out.

most launch titles that i'm interested in will be out on pc before 360 anyways.

Shadow of Colossus
We Love Katamari
