Scribblenaughts (Waited till peoples opinions came out and saved myself $30.)

I still say scribblenauts is a fun little distraction and shows alot of promise.
But if you have your doubts, it might be best to either pick it up when it's cheaper or wait for an improved sequel.

Man my gaming budget is tapped.
I've gotta start playing through my backlog and finish a game before I buy another one.

[Kairon]

Is there gonna be a thread like this for the first 6 months of 2010?

[Stratos]

I'm just going to periodically update my list when there are major changes to it next year. Do we really need a new thread for it?

[Kairon]

Well then, I guess I better post my current list. This will be forward looking since... it's late at night and I'm feeling lazy. Of course, shifting release dates affect the outcome of items on the following list.

Strong Intention to buy/Have pre-ordered:

DS Dementium 2

Wii Arc Rise Fantasia
Wii Sam & Max Season 2
Wii Sin & Punishment 2
Wii Metroid: Trilogy
Wii Rabbids Go Home

There are many other games which could be on this list, such as Fragile, or the new Prince of Persia game, but I'm waiting for more information before they arrive on my radar.

UPDATE: updated list posted below

[Stratos]

Is Sam & Max 2 even going to come out anymore? I thought TT canceled it after sales of the first season tanked. I still need to finish playing the first season.

TJSpyke can you post you amazon link again.
If I had remembered that you had that, I could have paid for your tuition for next semester around Christmas time.

[Stratos]

Isn't it in his sig? I keep forgetting to use it too. I'll make a bookmark so I don't forget.

We really could use an Upcoming Releases Thread around here, but since we don't have one, and this thread is about what games you plan on buying, I'll just post this here since we don't know what all of them are or if they are leaving Japan.

Don't worry, they'll all be released right after Captain Rainbow and Tact of Magic.

Xenosaga is that Monado game most likely since it's made by the Xenosaga guys that Nintendo bought.

Hoshi No Kirby.... Not sure, but it could be that 4 player Kirby game.

No idea what The Last Story or Kensakusu is.

[Stratos]

Ah, Monando = that Xeno game? Ok.

I thought Monolith were the 'Xenogrars' guys and that they also made Disaster and Soma Bringer? (2 games that have yet to come to the West as well...not a pleasing trend)

[Kairon]

2009 Backlog:
Wii
Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles

One great thing about rail shooters is that they don't sit on the backlog very long for me. They're so pick-up-and-play, and so easy to just grab my younger brother one weekend and blast through the game in an all-nighter.

[Kairon]

So apparently Sam & Max 2 IS coming out after all for the Wii!

Back on my list baby!

[Stratos]

Really? When? I really should get back to playing the 1st season but I'm more into Monkey Island at the moment.

[Kairon]

Amazon sayssss... March 9.

Man, I ALSO need to go back and finish up the original. It froze up on my brother and I last time we tried to play it.

[Stratos]

I tried to play the game without ever using a hint guide and I'm stuck on the first episode...maybe I need to curb my pride and check. The problem is I tend to more easily turn to the guide after I checked it once and spoil the challenge of half the game.

I went and bought Cursed Mountain since the studio got shut down in case the game starts disappearing and decided to throw in Madworld as well since it was only $20 too on Amazon.
