This is the thread where you talk about the games that you really want to play, but have either been too lazy to, haven't been able to find for cheap, have spent the money on more important matters, etc.
I'll list the first few that come to mind for me:
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
I've wanted to play this one for years and years now. Most people say it's the best Zelda game ever made, and I dig the apocalypse theme of it. But...I've just never been able to get it. One day, I will finally get my hands on a cartridge of it though. One day, mark my words.
Pokemon Black & White 1 and 2
After the supreme let-down that was Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, I stopped playing newer Pokemon games. I completely skipped out on the entirety of Gen 5 (including both the Black/White series AND Heart Gold / Soul Silver). Shit on Gen 6 all you want, but it was what got me back into Pokemon and made me fall in love with the series all over again.
Anyway, once I got back into the series with X/Y, I kept hearing everyone say such great things about Gen 5, and from all the great things they say about it, I'd love to try it out for myself, because it sounds really cool. However, there are other games that are of higher priority for me at this point.
Super Mario RPG
I'm probably the only Nintendo fan on the entire Earth who has not played this game. Everyone says it's the best Mario RPG ever, and that it's even better than any of the Paper Mario or Mario & Luigi games, so I want to see what all the hype is about. Plus, I want to know what all the buzz is about with this Geno guy.
(Also, Nintendo and Square, please release this game on Virtual Console already!)
Pikmin 2
I did once say that I never played this one, but actually, I did play it, but only for a few minutes. What happened was that my dad rented the game one night way back in '05, and when he brought it home, I thought it looked really cool, so I started playing it immediately. Unfortunately, my dad was in the room as I was playing the game, and he started complaining about how the game "talks too much", so after a few minutes he demanded I pop out the disc. Back then, my dad thought that any game that had too many cutscenes or dialogue was a game not worth playing, so I had to explain to him for years that games that are cutscene/dialogue heavy are games too.
Sometime around '08 or '09, I found Pikmin 1 at EB Games and bought it, and absolutely loved it. Then just last year, I got a Wii U, and got Pikmin 3 for it, which I also loved. I want to actually play the second one someday, but since I usually save my money for other matters, I don't know when that someday will be.
The entire Xeno series
As you may remember from when I first joined this site, I never played any of the Xeno games. I hear the best one is either Xenogears or the Xenosaga series, but I think I'm going to start with Xenoblade Chronicles, as its sequel is coming out next year, and when watching Nintendo's E3 stream this year, I had no fucking clue what was even going on in the trailer for Chronicles 2. All I got from it was, "They fled to space because apparently something bad happened on Earth...and there's a cat-girl or something..."
But yeah, since Gamestop is selling copies of Chronicles 1 for cheaper than what you'd find it for online, I'll have to buy it soon, especially if I want to know just what the Inferno is going on in the sequel. However, I'm not sure when I'll get to Gears or Saga though...
Infinite Space
I am a huge Platinum Games fan. I love (or at the very least, like) all of the games they've made. My favorites are Bayonetta, The Wonderful 101, and Madworld. However, the only game of theirs that's already out that I haven't played, is this one.
I've watched videos of it, and it looks really cool. It looks like a mix between Star Wars and Final Fantasy, which is awesome. However, the cartridge alone usually goes for $40, and I prefer having my games in their cases if available, so I'm trying to hunt down a cased copy that's affordable. So far, no luck...
