GoldenEye: Rogue Agent
Resident Evil 4
Mario Party 6

...man, now is the time to own a gamecube.

[fishbonetaher]

i know this sounds bad, but as much good games that are coming out for the cube in that quarter, there are twice as much coming out for the x-box and ps2.

Nintendo has to make some of these games playable to the press in some events before they release it, or else the games won't sell as well. For example mario tennis is right around the corner, and there has only been one hands-on with ign, and they barely had any time with it to give good impressions of the game. A lot of people wait for these impressions to make their judgments, and without allowing the press to do that games usually don't sell as well. Atleast that is what i think!! and might not be necessairly true.

I thought RE4 was pushed back to 2k5

[neo999955]

^ It has.

Fish, please post twice the good-game list from X-Box and PS2.

And why does no one include Baten Kaitos when they highlight games, as far as I'm concerned it's the top pick after RE4.

[Severe Gamer]

In this upcoming season, I'll only probably be getting two games which happen to be MP2: Echoes and Baten Kaitos. I would say RE 4 too, but because of the delay I'll have to hold off.

The reason for those particular games is because I want a great RPG, and it's a Metroid game. Aside from that, I'm going to focus more upon the software for the DS when it comes out then anything else. A lot of its games that are going to come out for it look amazing and entertaining. Not only that but I'm looking to get some PC titles as well so I'm only going to get the must-have titles.

[Haris]

Not bad. Too bad anything else in November will be shadowed by our knight in shining green armor. With guns.

[hibbzie]

man i need a job so i can actually buy a couple of these amazing games

[HolyPaladin]

Not bad. Too bad anything else in November will be shadowed by our knight in shining green armor. With guns.

I do believe that said knight will be "coming out" in November, too.

And why does no one include Baten Kaitos when they highlight games, as far as I'm concerned it's the top pick after RE4.

I'm not sure about elsewhere, but this article includes some links to pages about certain games. Perhaps games like Baten Kaitos just don't have such a page to be linked to.

Really nice games coming out. Baten, MP6, Metroid and mario tenis. Those are the games that I'm really looking forward to.
