[General Discussion] Kurado CANT WAIT

Star Ocean: Till the End of Time: I read the previews, waited through the whole "Director's Cut" mess with the bugs in the original, preordered and I've put maybe 8 hours on it in over 2 years. Beautiful game, but I don't like the battle system or most of the characters.

New Super Mario Brothers: Oh HELL yes, it was worth it.

Chrono Cross: So NOT worth it. I ate up all the hype during the 8 month+ wait and I was shocked at how below average it turned out, even being fully aware of how different it was from Trigger.

Marvel vs Capcom 2: 6 months of tracking screenshots and character alterations translated to 4 years of non-stop play. And the only time I've ever used overnight shipping. The waits for Alpha 3 and both Capcom vs SNK games were pretty bad, but the VS series is just my thing.

Megaman ZX: My gut told me to be excited about this one. I should listen to it more...It's a great little package and probably the best action/shooter on the DS right now.

And really, that's all. There are games I've looked forward to, but most of the time when they hit my radar, they're well within striking range. That can probably be attributed to the steady release flow nowadays and my healty backlog. Currently, I can't wait for a number of games that are long overdue to hit: Valkyrie Profile 2, Super Paper Mario, Yoshi's Island 2, Ar Tonelico (aka: ARRRR!) and the new Smash Brothers.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
