I have to say, it has been one year since I have seriously looked into shopping for Video games. Mostly due to the change in my life style and the costs of dealing with certain goods which offset buying video games. Things like picking up Kumdo, which demand a lot of my time for practice. I have to prepare for two tournaments, one in the Fall semester and one in the spring semester. In addition, I have had to focus a lot more of my time into school. In addition, I have been spending a good deal of time at work (which has been an improvement from my previous places of employment.) Although the true heart tackler have been video games themselves. My expectations of video games has gone done, which includes things from Nintendo (Remember when I made the Wii Defense Force?) Wii U doesn't like a very good system. Nintendo really hasn't been pushing out games as well as they should for all the time they put into it. Skyward Sword is a good game, but I realized the things that are important to me in a game is the freedom to explore and expand which older games did far better for me. Also, the feeling that video game companies tend to make me feel more like a cash cow then a respectable customer.
Anyways, now I am starting to get back into shopping for Video games. I am even getting my PS3 repaired which hasn't been able to read discs for nearly 2 years now. That being said, I have a lot of catching up to do with the PS3 as well. Some which include some Wii games I Missed. Now is a fairly good time to pick them up with used game prices going down. But a lot can change in one year. I know there were a lot of discussions by publishers on how to undermine used game sales and business strategies that are doomed to fail anyways.
My question is, what should I watch out for? The most recent games I have bought is Animal Crossing, Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, and Donkey Kong Country Returns and that was about a month ago. Besides that, I haven't bought anything since last summer.
