With a huge focus on the Xbox 360 and the upcoming PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii consoles, many people have written off the current gen list of releases. There are, however, tons of great games coming within the next few months that won’t be available on next-generation systems. A few of the notable titles include: Yakuza, Lego Star Wars II, Baten Kaitos Origins, Super Paper Mario, Final Fantasy XII, Okami, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Valkyrie Profile 2, and even the GameBoy Advance is still alive with Final Fantasy V coming soon.
When new consoles release it’s extremely hard to ignore them, but with such a great Fall/Winter lineup for the current generation of consoles, it might be best to hold off paying $600 for a PS3 until you get through the current gen backlog that is bound to pile up on you. Maybe you could save yourself $50 by waiting, or at least see a round of price drops hit the PS3/Wii launch titles.
Of course, if you’re anything like me, you’ll ignore all of this and pick up both new consoles during their launch period along with way too many games and you’ll have a hopelessly large backlog for years to come.
