I went through the video game release schedule for the next two months, and wrote down what I probably will buy on a post-it in my cube. Here’s what it says:
Mario Party 4 (GCN) 10/21
Broadband Adapter (GCN) 10/22
Animal Crossing e-Reader Cards 10/28
Phantasy Star Online Episode 1+2 (GCN) 10/29
DDRMAX (PS2) 10/29
e-Reader Donkey Kong, Urban Champion, Ice Climbers 11/11
Sonic Mega Collection (GCN) 11/12
Metroid Prime (GCN) 11/18
Metroid Fusion (GBA) 11/18
Master of Orion III (PC) 11/19
Phantasy Star Collection (GBA) 11/25
Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland (GBA) 12/2
The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past (GBA) 12/9
And that just gets me into December… there’s still quite a few things coming out late Dec. / early Jan (Zelda for GC, Final Fantasy XI, etc.) Also, weirdly enough, 5 of those 13 are reissued games. Of course, the cost per game on those is much lower (the e-Reader games are $5 each, and the PS and Sonic collections have multiple games on them).
