as far as the releases i'm
aware of, the ones i'll probably have picked up by the end of the year are the following:
Pokemon Platinumhaving a two carts makes starting over for fun much easier.
Patapon 2 i didn't get around to playing the first one, but it looked impressive.
Rhythm Heaveni had been considering picking up a copy of the Japanese release, but since it's slated to hit the US...
Phantasy Star Zeromy friends are all planning on getting this. it'll be a good way of keeping in touch since we no longer all live in the same state.
Beatmania IIDX 16 Empressi can't explain very well why i'm so fond of Beatmania (or rhythm games in general for that matter), but i too, shall be waiting for this release. DJ Troopers had a pretty unique song selection, and i'm hearing better things about Empress already.
on a slight tangent: i really haven't been paying attention to release dates much, but it doesn't seem like there are many amazing games that get released in the middle of the year. i could understand companies trying to plan their big projects to wrap up at the beginning of 4Q, but do they really avoid summer intentionally?
