so a remake of oot makes you not interested in skyward sword? or is skyward sword the repackaged content game.

Kind of both. I'd get into more detail but one) I'd look like a Nintendo hater when I'm not and two) I'd derail the thread. I'm very happy that Skyward Sword looks like a great game, I hope it is. Unfortunately I've gotten rid of my Wiis over the years so I won't be able to play it. But now back onto the real topic..

DARK SOULS.

Demon's Souls is the game of the generation. I remember buying at launch and thinking these are the amazing kind of games that never get a sequel (Heavenly Sword being another). So happy the overseas reception pushed this game to the top because the reception here in the land of the rising sun was definitely not enough.

Dolphin?
 
Between all the games I anticipate, the one I anticipate the most and have high hopes on is Super Mario 3DS.
I just expect this game to be the first Nintendo 3DS masterpiece.
 
I would say the 360 version of Witcher 2 lately (Only because I heard the game ends on a cliffhanger, potentially hinting at an expansion pack). But generally, Dark Souls is my most anticipated game.

So yeah, Dark Souls.
 
not particular hyped for any game this year. huge amount of sequels where i thought the predecessor was underwhelming. seems like a weak fall overall.

Zelda SS is probably the only one i would love to play right now.

actually getting a sequel, & getting it only 2.5 years later?! that demon's souls would, out of nowhere, end up being my favorite game this gen was bizarre enough. that it's become a franchise is just frigging surreal :) ...

& to the extent that i'm still having a hard time simply believing the whole thing probably means it's my most anticipated game by a long shot :) ...
 
So hard to pick. I'm looking forward to:

El-Shaddai
Resistance 3
FIFA 12
Uncharted 3
Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One
Assassin's Creed Revelations
Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City
Batman: Arkham City
Battlefield 3
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
God of War HD Collection Volume II
Final Fantasy XIII-2 (though I'm sure it won't be out until next year in the west, which helps)
Resident Evil 4 HD
Resident Evil CODE: Veronica X HD
Rayman Origins

Probably left out more.

OK, if I have to decide what I'm most looking forward to, it will have to be:

Batman: Arkham City
 
Dark Souls

Xenoblade is already so close for me. BF3 and Skyrim will be without a doubt beautiful on my pc, but I gotta give it to Dark Souls.
 
There are 3 games I am really looking forward to:

Dark Souls
Deus Ex: HR
RAGE

But Dark Souls is the only one I feel confident about, in the sense that it won't disappoint.
 
Uncharted obviously. The thread should be about what game is second place, cuz that is where the real competition is.
 
Here is my list

El-Shaddai
Dark Souls
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
Zone of the Enders HD Collection
Catherine
Professor Layton and the Last Specter (well any Professor Layton)
Assassin’s Creed: Revelations
 
Disgaea 4

I loved every second of my 200+ hours with Disgaea 3, and with the additions/improvements to D4, especially the updated sprite work, I'm expecting to like it even more.

Close behind are Catherine, Dark Souls, Assassin's Creed Revelations, and Ratchet All 4 One.
 
Without having ever really enjoyed a Western RPG before (except...Secret of Evermore? lol), and despite Uncharted 2 being my GOTG so far, my choice is still Skyrim. Shit looks amazing.

I'm going to end up enjoying UC3 more though, and consider it the more well-rounded package in the end. It's more of a guaranteed good time to me too. But it can't be that unbelievably new and different compared to UC2, so I'm looking forward to experiencing Skyrim more. Does that make sense?
 
Skyward Sword - being the Zelda lover that I am (just now coming from an ebay binge buying some vintage Zelda stuff).
 
No Star Wars: The Old Republic yet?

Case: it's Star Wars. It's Bioware. It's been eleventy million years in the making, and there's still no firm release date.

Come on!

Hey I grew up with Zelda too, giant fan, Majora's Mask is one of my favorites of all time. But I just don't like how Nintendo has handled any of its franchises this generation, and after playing the outstanding Darksiders I'm much happier looking out for other versions of this genre. Rereleasing Ocarina on 3DS was the last draw for me, just sick of repackaging old content. As a former Wii owner x2, I just can't let Nintendo suck me again to play the same old game with a different skin. Not to mention it probably would've been the ONLY game I'd look forward to as a Wii owner for the past 2 years. Guess most of GAF doesn't feel as jaded as I do, haha.

what the fuck
 
Add another one for Mr. Drake.

Playing through 2 now, I still can't get over how graphically amazing that entire game is.

Usually bolding part of a quote explains everything, but in this case I'm baffled. What exactly are you wtfing about? I mean, I'm looking forward to Skyward Sword, but I can totally get this guy's point...
 
The next Zelda doesn't interest me at all, but I can't see how Nintendo have treated their IPs conservatively this generation. SMG is way better than Sunshine, Other M sucked, and Prime 1 is the best game Nintendo has ever made, but at least they tried to do something different, that's admirable to me.

Wat...

I like Prime and all but no.

Just no.
 
Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2 - DQM has always been my second favorite handheld franchise after Pokemon. I loved the first DQMJ DS game and put many many hours into it. I've been waiting for this to be localized since it came out in Japan a long time ago.

Too bad it's not made by Nintendo.
