Hmm... did I forget to post again? Well, can't be helped. Kingdom Hearts II took up all of my time after work, then Dragon Quest, and then Tales of the Abyss, and so on, and so forth. It's hard to post when you're playing games, right? Yeah, Kingdom Hearts II was great, and Tales of the Abyss deserves much better then 7.9. I have yet to beat the latter, mainly for the fact that it's freakishly long compared to Symphonia. Anywho, like I said on the title, outside of the new games (there are more new games then what I listed, like Baten Kaitos Origins, but this is just a small list) I also got the Nintendo DS Lite on Friday for $130, and bought 3 games for it; Sonic Rush, New Super Mario Bros., and Asphalt: Urban GT.
Earlier today, I was thinking (while playing Sonic Rush) about all the games I got right when I bought the system, mainly because I've already beaten Rush and Bros. So, for reference, and mainly educational reasons, I'm putting all the systems I own, and which games I got when I first got the system in chronological order. (NES, Super NES, 32X, along with any other system not included in here that are in my collection are due to the fact that I never really owned them myself, but I passed those games nontheless.)

And there you have it, outside of a few systems like Nomad, (portable Genesis) this is about it. Yes, Sega Saturn has 21 games when I first got the system, and yes, I still remember off the top of my head which games those were. It was a friend's, and he gave me all of his games when my parents bought the system from him in 2001 for my b-day. Nothing better then inheriting a collection from someone, aye? No wonder I have 80 games for Saturn. And yes, I'm well aware that almost every system starts with a Sonic game.
Oh, I do have a predicament though, if you're willing to listen. I'm having a slight problem trying to figure out which Nintendo DS game to get next. Metroid Prime Hunters feels like a lock, but I'm not quite sure how good single player mode is in that, and I can't decide between Advance Wars: Duel Strike, or Mario 64 DS, since I want a 3D platformer. I'm leaning towards Advance Wars, but I want to see what you think.
A Sonic Rush review is under consideration. Please wait...
And please don't ask about TMT...
