Random Gaming Thoughts

I've never bought a console at launch, and I don't intend to change that now.

I don't know where I read it, but someone said that it was more meaningful for a console launch when we were younger, read about a release date and saving up whatever little money we could put together for that special day. I couldn't agree more.

I generally don't, but I though the Neo Geo X pre-order bonus was pretty cool. Plus, like all Neo Geo stuff, I have a suspicion the console could become scarce in the future.

But I generally wait for a major price drop. I waited about 5 years before purchasing a Xbox 360 or PS3.

The Wii was one of the few I actually got at launch, midnight release. Waited out in the cold and everything.

Yeah I'm not doing that again.

So today I learned that one of the pawn shops around here actually actively hides whatever retro stuff they manage to get whenever they see the local price gouging reseller guy walk up.

I could only afford one new console this fall and I chose the Neo Geo X over the Wii U.

I dunno if I made the right choice.

You probably made the right choice. If the Wii U price drops as fast and as much as the Wii in a year or two you will be able to pick one up for 200-250 dollars.

The last place I'd expect a STEALTH element is in an FPS.

RAINBOW SIX 3 -- now featuring SPLINTER CELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't shoot anything for half the mission and gotta stay crouched and sneak around......

FPS don't mean First Person Stealth y'all

its kinda sad/funny that these first run wii U games are about $60 bucks and in a few years they're gonna be super cheap.

happens all the time with new consoles. The first run PS2/GC games are the ones that are $2.99 or less at gamestop.

I can totally see Zombie U, Epic mickey 2, Tekken tag 2 and Rayman Legends for $5.99 in 2016

Buy then the late to the bandwagon or some of us retrogamers will finally have the Wii U and we will buy these games cause 'they're cheap enough'

By then, these games will just be in a paper sleeve.

damn.

Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 are still $20 and $40, respectively.

Neither were launch titles. I'd wager every single Wii launch game is worth >$5.

Twilight Princess goes for 20 new, pretty sure it goes for more than 5 used.
