seeing as we are still in the infancy of the new/8th generation, which "8th generation" systems do you own (only including the PS4, Vita and/or PSTV (available the day after tomorrow), Wii U, 3DS and the XBoned?  I realize that the Vita & the 3DS were released in the 7th gen but, I'm including them here because - they are (currently) the handhelds of this Brave, New Generation!

Also, how many games do you currently own for these systems?

*(If you feel like it, feel free to list/name the games for any system that you only have 10, or less of; not looking for any huge lists here)*

I'll start:

PS4 = like I said, only a paltry 6 games, thus far (Bound by Flame, Natural Doctrine, Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, Thief, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, and (in a day or 2) Diablo: Ultimate Evil Edition),

Vita = 15 different games (excluding doubles),

PSTV = picking it up on Tuesday, and then...waiting until the 25th to get it for my B-Day, and

3DS = 23 different games (excluding doubles)

- for a grand total of 44 different games (and ~50 w/ doubles)...doesn't seem like very much, now that I look at it & think about it 

I actually thought "Wow, that's a lot!" when seeing 44

As for me, I have:
3DS: 20
Wii U: 8
PS Vita: 2 ( :'( )

So that makes a total of 30 current-gen games for me. I'll get a PS4 next year , once I have my diploma and a job 

[maximo310]

For current gen stuff, I've got
3DS: 28, 17 of them are physical
Wii U: 21, 11 of them are physical.
So thats one shy of 50 at the moment. I'll pick up a PS4 in a year or so, and I think I'll try to get a PS TV or a Vita at some point next year because I'm really missing out on those library of games.
Also, some of the older Wii U titles are pretty cheap at the moment, you can find a lot of them cibs for $10-15.

[redblaze57]

I'll just count physical
3DS- 24
Wii U- 24
PS4- 5 (Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition, inFAMOUS: Second Son, INJUSTICE Gods Among Us: Gold Edition, Knack, Wolfenstien: The New Order. Also a preorder for Samurai warriors 4 coming next week)
Vita- only a pre-order for Tales of heart R

Honestly if I didn't get my PS4 off of a friend for cheap I'd be very disappointed in how much it has to offer me so far keep in mind 3 of those I could get on the ps3/360 and the only other two I want that are out RIGHT NOW (Bound by Flame and Murdered: Soul Suspect) are in the same boat.

Well then, not going to be too many for me, seeing as I've been focusing on the last generation while it's fairly cheap now.

3DS- A whole 10 games, if you count my digital copy of Senran Kagura Burst (it's a full game, just never got released physically here)

PS Vita- Even fewer, despite how much more I like it than my 3DS . Only 7 at the moment (8 if you count the digital copy of The Walking Dead that came bundled with my Vita). What I've gotten so far: Demon Gaze, Gravity Rush, Hyperdimension Neptunia PP, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1, Persona 4 Golden, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, and XBlaze Code: Embryo.

I don't have any of the current-gen consoles at the moment, but the only one that really catches my eye right now is the PS4. Once again, as with the previous two console generations, I don't care about the Xbox. I'll probably get a WiiU eventually, but aside from Smash Bros, there's nothing for it I really want to play now.

I could have swore I already posted on this subject...huh. I wonder if I posted it on another thread by accident.

Anyways, I own a total of 4 current-gen games, all on 3DS. I refuse to pay $300+ on a console.

What I do own are great games, though:
-Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
-The Legend of Zelda: Link Between Worlds
-New Super Mario Bros. 2
-Super Mario 3D Land

I used to own Resident Evil: Revelations on 3DS, but traded it in for the full-on console version on 360. I also had Scribblenauts Unlimited, but was disappointed in it so I traded it.

I have a lot. I love the WiiU and 3DS.
WiiU: 33
3DS: 44

Now that's spread over 3 people. Everyone here has a 3DS and their own taste in games.

Thanks, went to delete it and forgot we can't do that anymore.

I'm considering picking Metal Gear Solid back up and trying it out again.


I started playing it about a year and a half ago an quit because I got stuck at the part with Sniper Wolf. Not sure why I didn't just end up looking up an online FAQ, but never picked it back up. I watched the Gametrailers retrospective on the Metal Gear series and it inspired me to play it again. Despite owning almost every Metal Gear game released, I am definitely a late bloomer to the series. Stealth games aren't my favorite genre, but the story in Metal Gear is so damn good I can get through it just to enjoy the series

Very cool ad for Halo 2 in an old issue of Game Informer I found at Goodwill.

Ahhh, some great memories from when that game launched


Nice find on the old Game Informer too. That's one magazine I'd like to track down some old issues for.

[burningdoom]

Found a few of them there for a $1 a piece. They were all PS2/XBox/GameCube era issues.

That is a great era for that magazine, pretty much everything before 2005ish if good for Game Informer (up until Gamestop bought them out). I used to subscribe bak in 1996 and 1997. Love that magazine

Who owned it before GS; independent?

[disgaeniac]

Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor; meh...gave it a test drive, and just wasn't feeling any love for it

Luckily, my friend the GS manager (who just got a store of her own...*crosses fingers in hopes of receiving more & better "Pennied-out" items ) was working this morning & let me trade-in my opened, and very slightly used copy of Mordor for a minty fresh, sealed copy of the (PS4 version) of "Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition" which, I know has been getting pretty much nuthin' but Love

Back to GS manaña por la manaña to snatch my (temporarily) "Off Limits" PSTV + my "Free to do wtf I want to with" copy of Tears to Tiara: el segundo
