…you exercise a great deal of patience, stay steadfast in your beliefs and have a wonderful husband? I don’t know about the rest of you, but I get an imported Gloss Silver Nintendo DS Lite!!!

Will knew that I refused to purchase a DS Lite that did not match my current Platinum first gen DS, GameCube, Gameboy Micro and Gameboy SP (which started my whole Platinum love to begin with…). My reasoning was simple - everything had to coordinate. One too many times I have been an early adopter and accepted something when it first came out just to learn months later that a new color or style was in the horizon. My luck sucks when it comes to those things.

Good old Nintendo…now only if they would come out with that Platinum Wii…

We’ve got a long list of games on reserve. While we typically pick games up as they come out, the summer drought has gotten us in the mood to drop some dollars on something game-related. Spread across four consoles, here’s what we are waiting on:

1. Star Fox Command (DS)
2. Children of Mana (DS)
3. Final Fantasy III (DS) x2
4. Phantasy Star Universe (360) x2, pictured
5. Baten Kaitos (GCN)
6. Test Drive Unlimited (360)
7. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)
8. Gears of War Collector’s Edition (360)

Technically, Zelda is reserved for the Cube, since Nintendo has yet to announce a release date for the Wii. As soon as they give us a date, I’ll be in the store to drop $50 on the console.

Did we miss any titles?

Joystiq posted a link to a YouTube montage of Sega’s Sonic games over the past 15 years. I didn’t know how big a Sonic fan I am until I watched that video. I have almost every game shown, and a couple that are not shown. Now I want to go pick up the few that I don’t own. Sonic Team has remained consistent over the years in terms of music by including pretty cheesy music that most gamers laugh at, but I can’t get enough of. My favorites are the Sonic CD theme song and Sonic R’s Paradise Island track (I think that’s the name of it). I’m not alone; Nad’s favorite is the theme to Sonic Adventure.
