Forums - Gaming - What console and game are you gonna buy in 2009??

Happy new year everyone!

I definitely won't buy another console this year, but maybe a cheap laptop for those many, many great PC games I missed during the past 9 years of abstinence.

Games like Warcraft 3, Rome: Total War, Anno 1701, Freelancer, The Longest Journey...

I really miss PC strategy games, space sims, building sims and adventures (even though some of those genres aren't what they used to be).

I'm definitely going to buy a DSi. The only DSi specific games I know I'll get so far are the WarioWare downloadable games. As for regular DS games, I plan on getting Gyakuten Kenji (if it includes english), Chrono Trigger, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Pokemon Platinum, N+, Duke Nukem Trilogy, My Japanese Coach, Metal Slug 7, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, DK Jungle Climber, Boulder Dash: ROCKS!, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, Space Invaders Extreme.

I'm also thinking about getting a Saturn. I'd want to get Saturn Bomberman, two multitap and a lot of pads. I'm also interested in titles like NiGHTS, Guardian Heroes,...


As for the "HD" consoles, well, it's hard for me to want one when I don't own an HDTV (and getting a good one seems complicated and expensive) and I'm already buying more games than I have time to play.

I might impulse buy a 360 as they are getting very cheap, but I still have some concerns about the quality of the product and about having to pay for online play. I'm mostly interested in XBLA games: Double Dragon, Geometry Wars 2, Braid, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The regular games I'd want would be Tales of Vesperia, Dead Rising (but I hear a HDTV is compulsary for this one), maybe Ninja Gaiden II and Bomberman: Act Zero (to go with my copies of Shaq Fu and Superman 64).

I'll definitely get a PS3 someday, but I don't think it will be in 2009. I'll get it when it's cheaper and in a slimer model. For it, I'd get Metal Gear Solid 4 (I'm hoping a Subsomething version will be release by the time I get a PS3), LittleBigPlanet, and maybe Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Valkyria Chronicles.



When the DSi hits Australia, I' might buy a 2nd hand DSlite (there should be heaps then)



I might buy a Wii in 2009. I will be definitely buying lots of games on XBox 360 in 2009.



I'd be getting a DSi or DSL in order to get fire emblem shadow empire.

I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

Good Number of PS3 games. Slim chance of getting a Wii



4 ≈ One

Halo Wars, Resident Evil 5 and Fear 2 (maybe Fable 2 and Fallout 3).

I'm still looking for a Blue-Ray reader with a reasonable price and quality and if Killzone 2 is really the new FPS genre (confirmed facts (!!!), not blinded Sony Zealots propaganda sh*t), I'll get a PS3 for it.

 

For the moment, I'm still in love with Left4dead, GOW2 and Mirror's Edge...



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

im probably going to buy a wii, 2009 looks like a good year for it.



 

 

 

 

Already owning all consoles & ordered today:

Dusk Hotel: Room 215
Star Fox Command
Yakuza

And for the 'rest' of the year countless DS, PS2, Wii and a few PSP, PS3 and Xbox 360 games like Crisis Core, Gears of War 2, FF XIII, Yakuza 3(?) etc.
