Message: [QUOTE="UnDubious, post: 235386, member: 4030"] Typically, yeah. The late years of one console are the early years of its successor. Let's say 1995-1996 for the Genesis, for example. mobygames has 149 Genesis games released in 1994, 104 in 1995 (still a lot, and some still got some attention), then 45 in 1996. Lots of good games released during these two years. 1997 is the last year where it get normal commercial games (10), but they're almost all yearly sports games, there's a bit of shovelware (some chess sim), and there's The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Also, story-heavy Japanese games are less likely to be localized during that time period. We saw that with the PSP, for example - early on every RPG was being brought over, even complete garbage like Blade Dancer or Valhalla Knights, and then almost everything 2010 and on was passed over, including much better games.
