No Starfox Zero or Yooka-Laylee? BAKA!!!
Also not Retro’s game? Granted it hasn’t been revealed yet, but come E3 it will be.
Bravely Second is probably top of my list. Deus Ex, Mirror’s Edge and Dark Souls all tie for a close second lol
Same. I’m also excited for the next Mass Effect. I LOVEDDD ME3 on the WiiU. Just incredible. I’ve been waiting for the next one. So much anticipation.
SFV is at the very top of my list for 2016. CAN NOT WAIT.
The Division was lots of fun can’t wait for more. I’m most curious for Quantum Break.Top of the list is of course Zelda U.
2016 is gonna be so, so good. Just look at all those great games, absolutely looking forward to play them. Especially excited for FFXV and Persona. And Horizon. And The Last Guardian. And much more.
If only we could have Animal Crossing for WiiU on that list too. If only, Nintendo.
*Only if those games don’t end up getting delayed, of course, lmao.
But even if, there’s still so much to look forward to. :)
Dear Lord, please let the new Doom be good. Let Bethesda catch lightning in a bottle quality-wise for once. Well, make it twice so Dishonored 2 at least as good as 1, while we’re at it.
Other than that, looking forward to Dark Souls, Deus Ex, The Last Guardian, SFV and XCOM among the non-Nintendo options. Nothing can’t top that Zelda hype, though.
Looking forward to Persona 5. I’ll have to finally get a new console to play it though.
I’m looking foward to basically every one of these with SFV and Horizon at the top of my list.
Dark Souls 3, Persona 5 and Fire Emblem Fates is gonna make up my year.
Doom, Horizon: Zero Dawn, & Hitman will be on my watchlist of games to look out for as possible buys.
Final Fantasy XV, No Man’s Sky, Fire Emblem Fates, Bravely Second: End Layer, Dragon Quest VIII, & The Legend of Zelda for Wii U are definite buys for me. Sadly, I expect two of these games to get censored for stupid, bullshit reasons (Fire Emblem Fates & Bravely Second: End Layer.) Why can’t Square Enix publish Bravely Second in the United States instead of NintenD’OH!? *facepalm* I wonder what Nintendo will censor, or double censor, in this sequel to Bravely Default.
Fire emblem fates for the 3ds and the crossover for the wii u and persona 5 for the ps4 and scale bound for the xbox one and street fighter 5 for the ps4 and final fantasy 15 for the ps4 and the legend of zelda for the wii u that is a lot of day one or almost day one games for me
