You don't need to get just new games. Do what a ton of people do: wait till they're on sale. There is literally no hurry, wait till any game reaches the price point you think its worth.

And it's an even better experience to emulate too, you get lots of options for the same or better performance, resolution, better than default graphics options, mods etc.
