1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - I loved the two first games and can't wait for the third installment.
2. Dragon Age 3: Inquisition - Origins is one of my favorite games of all time, and even though DA2 was a disappointment, Inquisition looks nothing but amazing so far.
3. Alien: Isolation - This game looks stunning, and I love that Creative Assembly are going the horror route.

1. X (Wii U): THE reason to buy a Wii U. Looking forward to riding transforming mechs through a big and beautiful world like the one in Xenoblade.
2. Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 (PC): The first game had potential and I liked the story of the 3DS game. I'm looking forward to the conclusion of the trilogy.
3. Super Smash Bros (Wii U/3DS): I love the new additions to the roster like Mega Man and Wii Fit Trainer and can't wait to play this with friends.
4. Professor Layton vs. Ace Attourney (3DS): I'm a big fan of Ace Attourney and although I didn't play that many Layton games, they have their charms. I just hope there'll be a retail release.

1. Infamous Second Son : This, to me, is by far the best-looking next gen game I've seen so far. Amazing graphics, interesting setting (Seattle yeah!), and the powers look extremely fun. The day this game comes out is the day I buy the PS4 (well, probably before, whenever I can find one).
2. Super Smash Bros U : It's always exciting when a new Smash Bros comes out, and is always a huge thing. When it comes out is when I get a Wii U. I just pray that it has competent online this time.
3. Destiny : Has more promise than any Halo game that's for sure. Super ambitious with a ton of interesting ideas. Can't wait to play this.
4. Mario Kart 8 : Always have been a MK fan and this game looks absolutely stunning. I think it will end up being one of the best MKs by far.
5. Bayonetta 2 : It's Bayonetta, it's Platinum. What more needs to be said?
6. The Witcher 3 : Admittedly I haven't played the first two Witchers even though I have them. My PC can't even run 2, and 1 is on the backlog after I finish a few other games. But damn if 3 doesn't look amazing. I mean seriously.
7. The Order 1886 : Looks promising. A nice unique setting, interesting backstory, and RaD has a great track record. Still, because we've seen so little it has to go down here.
8. DriveClub : Second-best looking next gen game thus far, right behind Infamous. Was looking sketch at first, but it seems to have improved immensely from the little we've seen since its delay. But same problem as The Order, we just haven't seen much of it yet since its delay.
9. X : Looks damn amazing. The concept just seems so cool. I can't wait to see more of this, but still the same issue as DC the Order, we haven't seen really anything of it outside of the initial trailer.
10. Rime : Seems like it will be a breath of fresh air. Love the style, but once again, haven't seen much of it.
The list can be double-spaced, right? And bolding the games is okay too?

1. Persona 5 : Loved Persona 3 and 4. Can't wait to see what new characters and settings Atlus has come up with. My most anticipated game in years.
2. Dragon Age Inquisition : Looking forward to exploring new settings as a Qunari
3. Bravely Default : Seems like a great battle system from the demo. Hope the story in the full game is compelling.

5. Infamous Second son : Looking forward to having different powers and a different protagonist in an infamous game

7. Persona 4 Arena 2 : Excited to play as Junpei and Yukari

1. X : This game...
2. Mario Kart 8 : ...and this one are the very first Nintendo titles so far that actually offer the generational leap I was expecting when I was imagining Nintendo HD in the past. Pretty damn late and I wouldn't be surprised by more delays.
3. The Evil Within : Looks bad, but I'll trust Mikami once again
4. Shin Megami Tensei IV : bitch, where my EU release at?
5. Shantae 1/2 Genie Hero : I backed this, so yeah
6. Tales of Zestiria : Hopefully this Xenoblade imitation will be more fleshed out than Xillia. Art direction and music already seem slightly better than that one. Seemless battles on the field are intriguing.
7. Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze : The exact opposite of what I wanted from Nintendo in HD, direct sequels to recent games that barely show any significant leaps in presentation or new core gameplay... BUT, David Wise music is what I need badly.
8. Bayonetta 2 : Only Kamiya game I didn't care for was the first Bayonetta, but this looks much cooler already.
9. Hyrule Warriors : Not sure if I buy this, but I'm somehow very curious how this is gonna work out.
10. Tales of Xillia 2 : First title was okay, so maybe I'll check this out...
Unconfirmed: Zero Escape 3, Zelda U

1. Monoliths X - Looks incredible to me. The scale is crazy and I've been itching for another JRPG that will blow me away. I feel this may be it.
2. Bayonetta 2 - I'm not very good at character action games, but I still love them to pieces. This is my next fix.
3. Infamous: Second Son - As a huge fan of both games before it, this is the game that will finally tip me over into buying a PS4.
4. Blazblue: Chrono Phantasma - really enjoy the Blazblue games. Nuff said.
5. Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze - excited to see what Retro has for us next. Country Returns was my favorite 2D platformer on the Wii.
6. The Devision - I like everything I've seen so far about this game. Open world. Cool tech and awesome graphics.
7. Super Smash Bros Wii U - what more do you need to know? It's freakin SSB.
8. Mario Kart 8 - Mario Kart 8 looks to be the first MK to ever really capture me in the way MK64 did.
9. Watch Dogs - I like the whole idea of hacking everything. Just cool!
10. The Witcher 3 - last but certainly not least. This looks to be the Western Style RPG that will set the standard when it drops. Cyberpunk would have been in this place instead but I'm not too confident that will release this year. Based CDPR!

This thread somehow managed to fly below my radar but I finally saw it thanks to recent posts. A lot of my most-awaited games are not being included on my final list because they do not have a definite 2014 release date. I'll list them below my top 10 just to be sure they get mentioned (and they deserve to be).
Anyway, here's my list:
1. Persona 5 : I loved Persona 3 and loved Persona 4: Golden a lot more, so there's no way I'll ever miss out on this. The Persona games have taken over Final Fantasy for my JRPG fix ever since FF XIII came out and proved to be a colossal disaster (personally speaking, that is). I wasn't sure if I would list this on my official top ten though because it's not announced for a western release this year, but I did anyway since it'll be out by Fall 2014 in Japan (and the fact that I just cannot resist doing so). LOL
2. The Order: 1886 : There hasn't been any gameplay shown yet but that doesn't stop me from getting hyped for this game. I loved the setting (steampunk FTW) and the story looks like it'll be interesting. I really hope it lives up to the expectations.
3. inFamous: Second Son : inFamous has been one of my favorite new IPs from the previous console generation so I'm really excited on its transition to the new generation and see how it improves the formula. I hope it becomes more successful than it currently is though. I kinda feel that the series is being overlooked by a lot of people. But then again, I could be mistaken.
4. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt : This is the series I was really hoping to play on consoles and, thankfully, CDProjekt Red is making that a reality. Nothing against the PC versions of course but I just prefer to play my games on consoles. I cannot wait to finally play this game.
5. The Division : There are rumors that this game has been delayed to 2015 but until that is confirmed, this is making my list. I've been impressed from the first time it was shown in E3 and I'm more excited about it now. Granted that my excitement about it is more from a technological standpoint, the gameplay looked fantastic. I hope that it really delivers once it comes out. Looks like it's going to be a winner for Ubisoft if it does. I just hope it doesn't fall prey to their annualization thing.
6. Watch_Dogs : I was going to list this as my #5 but somehow I'm not as excited about this right now as I am for The Division. But that said, I'm still definitely checking it out. The delay may have factored quite a bit on my lessened interest, but I'm all for it if it means the game will be better and deliver on its promise.
7. Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster : Final Fantasy X was the last FF game that I absolutely loved. I did like FF X-2 despite its more light-hearted plot and presentation but I just can't quite reconcile the drastic difference between the Yuna in X and the one in X-2. Still though, it was a fantastic game and its battle system is a lot better over the one in FF XIII. Oh, I also liked FF XII but the cast was not as memorable to me with the exception of Balthier. That guy really stole the show from Vaan (his character design did him no favor either).
8. Kingdom Hearts II.5 HD Remix : The fact that I'm more excited for the HD remakes from Square-Enix says a lot about how much the disconnect between them and me (and maybe a few other gamers, too). From a studio who turns to gold anything that they touch, everything they announce now is met with a ton of skepticism. But then again, can their fans be blamed? Anyway, I digress. Kingdom Hearts is easily among my fave JRPGs ever and I sometimes prefer it over Final Fantasy itself. Sure, the plot has gone so convoluted at this point, but I still enjoy the crossover between Final Fantasy and Disney characters. The gameplay is great and the music is just phenomenal. Shimomura Yoko's score is always a joy to listen to and Utada Hikaru's original songs for the main games are just as iconic. As for this HD release, I'm already sold with it having Kingdom Hearts II but the fact that Birth By Sleep is there (which I found amazing) makes it a lot more irresistible to me.
9. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes : If this was announced a few years ago, it would easily make the top of my list. After all, MGS 3: Snake Eater is among my favorite games of all time. But I'm not so sure about the direction it's taking. Not sure if it's the fact that David Hayter is no longer providing the voice of Snake, but here's something about it that I can't quite put my finger on. Hopefully this proves me wrong once it comes out.
10. Dragon Age: Inquisition : It's easy to see with my list that I love RPGs. Mostly JRPGs, sure, but I'm also interested on a few western ones. Having said that, I'm not sure why I missed out on the first two Dragon Age games but I'd like to play the upcoming one in the series. Maybe that explains why it's sitting at the bottom of my top 10. But hey, it's there and is, in fact, on top of a few other games I'm also interested on. I do hope that it becomes more of an RPG this time as I have a lot of friends who told me that the second installment was hardly one in their eyes.
Now here are a few games coming out in 2014 that I'm also keeping my eyes on. The ones on my list above are just a bit more exciting to me at this point in time.
Tales of Xillia 2 : Tales of Xillia was the first Tales game that I ever played and I enjoyed it. I look forward to playing the sequel and hope that it solidifies my interest on the series. Heck, I'm even keeping tabs on Tales of Zestiria now.
Child of Light : Well, I enjoy my classic RPGs and this one means to pay homage to them. So yep, it's getting an honorable mention here.
Destiny : Okay, I never play FPS games (which is a shame, I know) due to motion sickness but that doesn't mean I cannot be interested on them. It's a new Bungie game and it'll be interesting to see how they follow an incredibly popular franchise like Halo. I'm wishing them the best of luck (no sarcasm intended at all).
Deep Down : I'm not a big fan of MMOs and I'm mostly leery of free-to-play games, but I'd like to see what Capcom will do on this. I'm definitely never including this on my Top 10 list but it deserves a mention since it's still registering a bit of a blip on my radar.
DriveClub : What is this game's official name? Is it #DRIVECLUB? Drive Club? The OC in me is driving me nuts. LOL But that said, I've seen bits of gameplay footages of this game and I thought they were impressive. I think delaying the game was a good decision on Sony or Evolution Studio's part. I don't play a lot of driving games because I'm not really a big car guy, but this is still interesting. Somehow I was hoping that this would be more arcade-y to contrast Sony's other major racing/driving IP, Gran Turismo, which is all about simulation. I don't drive (at least not yet) so I'm more about just pure racing at this point.
Last but not the least here are some games that do not have a 2014 release date announced but are definitely on my watchlist:
Uncharted 4 : I love Naughty Dog and one of their teams just came out with my personal Game of the Generation (The Last of Us). I loved the Uncharted games (even Uncharted 3, so sue me) so I'm absolutely keeping an eye for the next game in the series. If this is is coming out this year, it'll sure be in my Top 3.
Lily Bergamo : Little is known of this game but I loved that trailer and cannot wait to see more. I hope Suda51 finds more success on this game.
Final Fantasy XV : And finally there's FF XV. The XIII saga has caused nearly irreparable damage to the brand in my books but I have to admit that I was more looking forward to this game than FF XIII itself. Not sure if Square-Enix would ever be able to redeem the franchise to its former glory with this game but I hope it will help make it more likable and relevant again. Or maybe they should just fire Wada and whoever's running the show in their offices.
Anyway, here's my list:
1. Persona 5 : I loved Persona 3 and loved Persona 4: Golden a lot more, so there's no way I'll ever miss out on this. The Persona games have taken over Final Fantasy for my JRPG fix ever since FF XIII came out and proved to be a colossal disaster (personally speaking, that is). I wasn't sure if I would list this on my official top ten though because it's not announced for a western release this year, but I did anyway since it'll be out by Fall 2014 in Japan (and the fact that I just cannot resist doing so).

I don't drive (at least not yet) so I'm more about just pure racing at this point.
Last but not the least here are some games that do not have a 2014 release date announced but are definitely on my watchlist:
Uncharted 4 : I love Naughty Dog and one of their teams just came out with my personal Game of the Generation (The Last of Us). I loved the Uncharted games (even Uncharted 3, so sue me) so I'm absolutely keeping an eye for the next game in the series. If this is is coming out this year, it'll sure be in my Top 3.
Lily Bergamo : Little is known of this game but I loved that trailer and cannot wait to see more. I hope Suda51 finds more success on this game.
Final Fantasy XV : And finally there's FF XV. The XIII saga has caused nearly irreparable damage to the brand in my books but I have to admit that I was more looking forward to this game than FF XIII itself. Not sure if Square-Enix would ever be able to redeem the franchise to its former glory with this game but I hope it will help make it more likable and relevant again. Or maybe they should just fire Wada and whoever's running the show in their offices.

1. Mario Kart 8 - How can anyone not be looking forward to debatebly the finest racer on the market?
2. Witcher 3 - Although I never played Witcher 2 until recently, trailers for this game made me wake up and go back to play it. Cannot wait for this one.
3. South Park : Stick of Truth - It looks like it should have all the elements to be a good RPG as well as a good spin off from South Park itself.
4. Broken Sword Serpants Curse Pt 2 - The first part was a glorious return to form and so expect the second to end the fifth game with a bang!
5. Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 - I expect the next gen version to be sublime. Last years version was the best in a long time, they need to recapture that for next gen and work their way around the, as of yet, missing editing parts of the PS4/XboxOne.
6. Metal Gear Solid V : Ground Zeroes - I cannot wait to get my hands on what Kojima is doing with his Fox Engine.
7. Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze - More looking forward to the co-op aspect of the game rather than the game itself, love playing with friends aka NSMBWU.
8. Order 1886 - Although not fully shown off, the setting and trailer have wowed me enough to keep the game at the front of the pack.
9. Destiny - Of all the FPS this year, this is looking like the best. I am not convinced by Titanfall so Destiny seems to be the game for me.
10. Yarn Yoshi - Just look at it!! Beautiful looking game.

1 - No mans sky. If they can actually pull off their vision. It will be an example of what a "nextgen" gaming experience can be. imo.
2 - The division. Because the reveal blow my mind.
3 - Routine. Its dripping with atmosphere.
4 - Driveclub. Im glad sony held it back, because every time they show something new, it gets better and better. Ill be pissed if they dont get wheel support in there though.
5 - The order. My most anticipated sony 1st party game.
6 - The evil within. Because i love survival horror.

1. Super duper uber legendary cat helmet crushing definitive version of Destiny.
2. Drive Club - It looks like Test Drive Unlimited done even better
3. NHL 15 - Next to FIFA, it is the best sports game.
4. Diablo 3 (PS4) - Can't wait to play with friends.
5. Super Smash (WiiU) - Because my daughter told me so.
6. X (WiiU) - Giant, flying robots.
7. Metal Gear 5 (PS4) - it's a relationship that I can't free myself from.

1) Mario Kart 8 : Loved Mario Kart 7 and everything we have seen about this game has been in line with that. Mario Kart online is just so much fun. Certainly enough to make it my most anticipated game of 2014
2) Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number : It's the sequel to Hotline Miami! One of my favorite indie games of all time. Gameplay is pure ecstasy.
3) Titanfall : Call of Duty 4 is probably one of my favorite shooters of all time. Seeing the original creators working on a new IP warms my heart. Mechas, quick gameplay and multiplayer only are all aspects that make this game very promising in my eyes.
4) DanganRonpa: Trigger Happy Havoc : I know next to nothing about this game but just seeing how they say it's like Ace Attorney X Zero Escape is enough to make this one of my most anticipated games of the year.
5) Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze : DKCR was great and this game looks like it has the potential to top it.
6) X by Monolith Soft : I recently started playing Xenoblade and now I fully understand why people are so excited about this game.
7) Broken Age : Point & click is another quiet genre so I'm happy to see an entry of this quality coming. What we saw in VGX was very promising.
8) Super Smash Bros. for Wii U : Smash is always great. Not my favorite franchise but having all of that Nintendo history in one game is just great.
9) Bravely Default : JRPG in this style is enough to make me want this game hard.
10) Child of Light : Looks beautiful, is apparently JRPG inspired and has Paper Mario type of gameplay. Sign me in.

1) Uncharted: This is of course assuming the game is coming this year. IT could go either way, but I'll bet that it is.
2) The Stig Asmussen space title: We still don't know what it is, but it is Sony Santa Monica and these guys haven't let me down yet. Not one bit!
3) Metal Gear 5: This is assuming we're getting the full game and not merely just the glorified demo, Ground Zeroes.
4)) The Order: 1886: I love the fact that Sony has the balls to push not only a major new IP, but one with such an unorthodox setting. I just hope the gameplay isn't just cookie cutter or that would be a major let down.
5) Infamous: Second Son: This looks like the first major next-gen title to REALLY show us the next-gen power in full force. It will likely be mind blowing.
6) Mario Kart 8: Simply put this is my most anticipated racer of 2014. The game looks incredibly fun and engaging.
7) Destiny: The potential of thise game is friggin huge. It could be a GOTY if they live up to their promises and people's expectations. I'm skeptical, but we'll see.
8) Titanfall: Not a huge fan of twitch shooters, but this one does look to breathe new life into the genre.
9) Smash Bros. Wii U: Not the biggest fan of this series, but how can you not get excited for this with the wonderful and magnificent footage they've shown?
10) Witcher:Wild Hunt: Looking like a truly epic an enthralling RPG. I hope it deliver on all the deverlopers aspirations.

8. Next Car Game

In addition: No Man's Sky, Routine, Watchdogs, The division (if it gets released)

Oh... is it too late to vote yet? If not, I'll throw in:
1. Persona 5. After P4G... how could it not be really?
2. Infamous Second Son.
3. Destiny.
4. Witcher 3.
5. The Order 1886. RAD have yet to make a bad game and this looks neat, so high hopes.
6. Watchdogs.
7. X. It's selling me a Wii U, even if I'm not sure it'll make 2014.
8. FFX/X-2 HD. Been waiting waaay too long for handheld FFX.
9. The Witness.
10. Disgaea 4 R. Might seem an odd choice, but I got hundreds of hours out of Disgaea 3 on Vita, so I fully expect this to prove an extremely time consuming investment.
Would've included Uncharted 4 and The Division, but neither is a safe bet for 2014, so maybe next year

1. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3DS: Alright, so it hasn't been officially announced, but there have been so many damn hints about this thing that it's surely coming. I'm sure it'll pop-up in a Nintendo Direct announcement in the near-future. Having never completed Majora's Mask and loving every second with OoT 3DS, I can't wait for Majora's Mask to get the HD/improved controls treatment.
2. The Division: This truly screams "next-gen" to me. Here's hoping that it delivers.
3. Paper Mario Wii U: Again, nothing officially announced, but I'm hopeful. After a disgusting 3DS Paper Mario game I'm hoping Nintendo goes back to its roots with this one.
4. The Crew: Another open world racing game with a good focus on multiplayer? Yes please!
5. Super Smash Bros Wii U: Another Nintendo console another Smash. Here's hoping it also delivers on hype. I'm avoiding any character news like the plague, since I'm positive that influenced my negative experience with Brawl. Knowing all the characters in the game before it comes out ruins some of the magic.
6. Mario Kart 8: Another console Mario to play with all of my friends? Yes.
7. South Park The Stick of Truth: It's one giant episode of South Park with Paper Mario-esque gameplay. How can I not love that?
8. DAYZ: Alright, it's already out (sort of), but it's still in Alpha. Assuming it even comes out in 2014 I'm still excited to see the development continue to grow over time.
9. Infamous Second Sun: Having only played the first Infamous (and loving it, despite its flaws) I'm looking forward to its next-gen followup.
10. Destiny: Bungie behind a next-gen online game with Halo-esque shooting elements mixed with a loot system for me and my friends? Hell yeah I'm excited for this!

- Dark Souls 2: The first 2 Souls games rekindled my love of gaming, so I've got high hopes for this. I'm a bit worried about the forced multiplayer since I've always preferred gaming solo, but I'm trusting From not to fuck it up.
- Cosmic Star Heroine: Old school RPG fun in a sci-fi universe? Sign me up.
- Pillars of Eternity: I'd given up hope of ever seeing a game like this again (thanks Kickstarter!). Obsidian + Isometric RPG + Chris Avellone = fuck yes.
- The Witcher 3: If CDPR can continue with the rate of improvement that I saw going from Witcher 1->Witcher 2, then I'm expecting something god-tier.
- The Evil Within: I'm not usually into survival horror, but Mikami is game design royalty and I've liked every other thing he's done.

1.The Order 1886: Its a new IP from a studio looking to show off what they can do. Sony seems confident in it. Also, I was a big Gears fan, this looks like it might fill the current void.
2.Infamous Second Son: Open world TPS, Gameplay looks fast, graphics look great, and Troy Baker.
3.Destiny: I love the concept of an explorable galaxy in a world that's constantly changing. Looking forward to playing a Bungie game on PS4
4.Witcher 3: Solid developer. Not held back by last gen.

- Destiny - I am really impressed so far, seems to be the next big thing.
- The Witcher 3 - I'ts the Witcher and it's Openworld!
- The Order 1886 - Really excited about it, want to see more
- Persona 5 - OMG! It's Persona!
- Infamous Second Son - Seems to be pretty nice
- Watchdogs - The hype is gone, but the game might still be great
1. The Evil Within --- Hoping for the best, but even average will do nicely.
2. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes --- Doesn't look good so far, but new Metal Gear is exciting nevertheless.
3. Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number --- Loved the first, hoping the sequel will be darker and harder.
4. Broken Age --- Wasn't on my radar until recently, but looks very promising.
5. Destiny --- Looking for a return to form for Bungie.
Nothing too exciting this year. I'm mainly looking forward to new games from old developers with a strong track record. Hopefully there'll be some genuine surprises though, and that more than one of the many other potentially good games (Alien, Rime, Routine, Wasteland 2, Titanfall, The Witness, The Order, etc.) turn out be something special. Here's hoping for some decent Vita games (or ports) as well.

1. Destiny: Everything I have watched makes me want it.
2. The Witcher 3: I have not played any of the series but with everything people say about 1 & 2, and what they have shown of 3, I am very much looking forward to diving in.
3. Drive Club: Looks beautiful and I need a racer for my PS4!
4. Order 1886: Love me some steampunk themed action – but weary about it “being on rails”
5. Wasteland 2: My only PC game to make the list. Proper turn based irradiated fun!
6. RIME: It just looks beautiful.
7. Dying Light: Because Zombies & Parkour
8. Thief: Loved the original back in the day, not holding out high hopes that this will exceed my expectations - but I do have a drought of games during that time-period
9. Deep-Down: Because random dungeons, beautiful graphics, and free
10. The Division: This would be my #2 or #3, but after all the issues I have had with Uplay DRM and their connectivity issues, I do not have high hopes for how well a only online game will run from them. The premise, and those trailers though ... the only things keeping this barely on my list.

1. X: Xenoblade was possibly the game of the last generation. The trailer was incredible. Worried about the lack of colour, though.
2. Dark Souls II: More Dark Souls. Need I say more?
3. Smash Bros for Wii U: I'm a Nintendo fanboy and fanboys need fanservice.
4. Persona 5: They've had enough time to come up with something really special.
5. Bayonetta 2: Platinum gonna platinum. Don't like character action games but I loved Bayonetta.
6. Destiny: Not a big shooter fan but the multiplayer / MMO nature of this has me really interested. Halo 3's multi was rock solid, I trust Bungie.
7. Final Fantasy 15: Not sure if it'll make it, but it'll be a visual treat at the very least.
8. Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes: Would be far higher if it was the full game proper.
9. DriveClub: My racing game for the year.
10. Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze: It's not metroid, but I'll
take it.

1. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: I love Smash to death, but more importantly than that, Mega Man is finally in... a dream come true for me! My hype for this is through the roof.
2. Super Smash Bros. for 3DS: See above. I'm also excited to finally have a portable Smash, though I'm still more hyped for the Wii U version.
3. Kingdom Hearts HD II.5 ReMIX: Birth by Sleep is my favorite KH game and the Final Mix versions of KH II and BbS add a TON of new content to both games never available outside of Japan... until now.
4. Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster: FF X is my favorite game in the series, and I love X-2 as well. The remastered soundtrack and visuals, plus the new International content for both games being available here for the first time, have me really hyped.
5. Shovel Knight: Mega Man + Zelda 2 + an entirely original 8-bit 2D platformer? Sign me up.
6. Mutant Mudds 2: Mutant Mudds is one of the greatest modern retro 2D platformers out there. I can't wait to see what Renegade Kid has in store for the sequel.
7. Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII: Screw the haters, I love the FF XIII series and can't wait to see how it all ends in this one.
8. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze: DKC Returns was a simply fantastic, beautiful 2D platformer, and I'm hyped to see what Retro can do with HD visuals. Even more hype: a soundtrack composed by David Wise and playable Dixie and Cranky!
9. Kirby: Triple Deluxe : I love me some Kirby, and this looks like one of the best entries yet if the trailers are any indication.
10. Mario Kart 8: The once-amazing series took a huge dive with Mario Kart Wii, but Mario Kart 7 was a step back in the right direction and I have cautious hopes that MK 8 will return the series to greatness. At the very least, it'll look gorgeous and have good online play.
If Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS count as one game for the purposes of this list, then merge those at #1 and add in Uncharted 4 at #10!
Runners-up: Child of Light, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, inFAMOUS: Second Son, Driveclub, Bravely Default... 2014's going to be an amazing year for gaming!

Can't really think of any others off the top of my head, though I'm a big fan of fantasy RPG's, so games such as DriveClub etc would be replaced by them if I've missed any hehe.

1. TitanFall: I'm not even a big multiplayer fan but I'm very intrigued by this game, and very excited after what I played of it at EGExpo. I think this is the breath of fresh air FPS desperately needs.
2. South Park The Stick of Truth: It's a South Park RPG developed by Obsidian, that is enough for me, even with the game's obvious development troubles.
3. Dark Souls II: Simple, it's more Dark Souls. My body is prepared to die all over again, and with a glorious pc port this time.
4. Volume: The next game from Mike Bithell, the creator of Thomas Was Alone, is a stealth game based on the old style of top down MGS games, whilst maintaining the smart writing of TWA. This may be the stealth game we need, even if we don't deserve it. My other favourite of the EGExpo.
5. Hotline Miami 2: It's looks admittedly too familiar to the first but I thnk I'm still ok with that. Give me more of the gloriously fast paced, ultraviolent gameplay and that bloody great soundtrack and I'll be happy.
6. Transistor: From the Creators of Bastion. That's all I need.
7. Destiny: I'm equal parts excited and apprehensive about this, Bungie are a high class developer but I admit they still haven't done a great job showing off what this game actually is. Still cautiously optimistic however.

1. Devil's Third: Well, Itagaki said we would see the game this year. I thought the combat systems of NG (Black) and NGII are some of the best in gaming, so I can't wait to see what he does here.
2. Bayonetta 2: Greatest action game of last gen gets a sequel, of course I'm excited. The trailer and E3 footage looked fantastic.
3. Evolve: I absolutely adore the concept. This could be the greatest Predator style MP game ever.
4. Super T.I.M.E. Force: Great old school 2D shooting that resembles a pixel art version of Gunstar Heroes, with a cool time mechanic added that basically let's you play co-op with yourself.
5. Shovel Knight: 2D platformer that resembles games like Mega Man and Ducktales. Looks like a ton of fun.
6. The Order 1886: A setting to die for, cool visual trickery and a proven developer. I'm hoping for the PS4's Uncharted 2. Show us something, Sony!
7. Dark Souls II: More Dark Souls. That says it all.
8. Hyper Light Drifter: Why did I back this? Because it looks gorgeous. Beautiful art, nice, fast-paced gameplay systems with fluid combat.
9. Below: Absolutely love the look of this roguelike. Permadeath, massive underground tombs, striking art; what's not to like?
10. Titanfall: Love the concept and haven't heard a bad thing from people who played it. Looks like the real deal.
Also very much interested in (takes a long breath): inFAMOUS: Second Son, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, MGS5 The Phantom Pain, Project X, Sunset Overdrive, Secret Ponchos, The Witness, Cloudbuilt, Velocity 2X, Transistor, Volume, Apotheon, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Alien Isolation, SOMA, Routine, Aztez, Helldivers, Rime, Nidhogg, Radio the Universe, Cuphead, Child of Light, Incognita, Samurai Gunn (PS4/Vita), Luftrausers, Nuclear Throne, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, Mario Kart 8, Towerfall (PS4), Mighty No. 9, Broforce, The Evil Within and perhaps more titles I forgot.
What a fucking year. And we might also see games like Uncharted PS4 that have not been officially announced for this year. Where do I find the damn time?

I know for sure that Uncharted hasn't been confirmed for 2014, though most are assuming it is. Unfortunately it still doesn't have a solid release date, so it can't be counted.
I'm not sure about the rest dude, maybe look them up in Google and see what release dates they have?

1. The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC : I'll have been avidly waiting for the next translated installment in the Kiseki series for over 3 years by the time this releases. With 4 additional games in this franchise waiting to be played after this one, I may just dive into the deep end to soak in the rest once I'm through. The first game refined & delivered everything that I've loved about the JRPG genre since I first played Final Fantasy back in 1990. It married the charming characters of a Game Arts title like Lunar or Grandia with a multi-title story as ambitious as Xenogears. It is this generation's Final Fantasy equivalent and yet the franchise still remains undiscovered by so many JRPG enthusiasts.

Sure can!
1. RIME; Amazing visuals and reminds me of PS2 era Team ICO. Those were the days.
2. Infamous Second Son; Great character designs and NEON! I love NEON, now if only the game plays synth everytime you use it.
3. The Evil Within; Mikami's return to survival horror. Do I need to say anymore?
4. Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin; Feudal Japan era samurai action. Sign me up for a Western release!
5. Guilty Gear Xrd; I'm ready for more heaven and hell action. Character design look amazing in 3D.
6. The Order 1886; Love the fog, the setting and mustaches. Hopefully it all comes together for an amazing experience.
7. Shadow of the Beast; Return of a side scrolling classic, can't wait to carve my path forward.
8. DriveClub; Fantastic arcade style racing with challenges around every corner. Please be 60...
9. Witcher 3; The world looks sublime and one I can't wait to explore as the Witcher.
10. Alien Isolation; Finally an Alien game that takes cues from the original superior film.

1. Persona 5 - I've just started playing 4G and I'm absolutely loving it. As in, looking to be one of the best RPG's I've ever played.
2. Starbound - Being someone who sunk over 100 hours into Terraria across PC and 360, I can't wait for a similar experience in Starbound.
3. Disagea 4 - One of my favorite TBS series.
4. Destiny - No longer a big fan of shooters but Bungies pedigree combined with the games MMO-esque nature could prove to be interesting.
5 - FFX/X2 HD Vita - My favorite of the FF's and the sequel I never got around to playing. Should be great stuff on that OLED.

1.Destiny- The excitement I have for this game is head and shoulders above any other. A fps from the creators of Halo with mmo trappings...my god.
2.X- Whenever I watch a trailer for X, I think Xenoblade online. Then I wonder if this is real life and what did I do to deserve the game of my dreams. Justifies my Wii U purchase by itself.
3.Deep Down- I have been excited about this game since the reveal. As info and gameplay trickles out, I get more and more excited to dig into it.
4.Evolve- Huge L4D fan and everything said so far has me sold.
5.Wildstar- I have been searching for a new mmo to dig my teeth into for a very long time. Having played this at conventions and loving everything said by the dev team to date, I think I have finally found it.

1. Dark Souls 2 : Sequel to the best game of all time
2. Witcher 3 : Currently playing Witcher 2, 3 looks insane
3. Watch Dogs : This has gone up and down, but I feel like it will deliver
4. The Order 1886 : Hopefully this actually comes out in 2014
5. Persona 5 : Almost done with P4G, why not roll right into P5

1. Monolith Soft's X: Xenoblade is quite possibly my favorite game of last generation so of course I am excited about anything they put out there.
2. South Park Stick of Truth: Game looks to play like the actual and and funny as heck.
3. Tales of Xillia 2: I love Tales games, so of course this is on my list.
4. Bravely Default: Been looking forward to this one for a while now.
5. Witcher 3: Never played previous entries but I love me some open-world rpgs.
6. Mario Kart 8: I do enjoy the series and will likely buy this.
7. Smash Bros.: Another title I'll likely purchase a well.
As of right now, those are probably my only announced purchases of this year. Do this poll after E3 and my list would probably look entirely different.
