1. Star Fox U - It's been too long. It looks like we're getting more gimmicks with Project GUARD/Giant Robot
2. Mortal Kombat X - This is looking to be the most brutal one yet! I loved 9, so I can't wait to see what they added this time around.
3. Kirby and the Rainbow Curse - Canvas Curse is one of my favorite DS Games. Claymation is one of my favorite art styles. This is the Claymation sequel to Canvas Curse; I'm already sold.
4. Mario Maker - I'm still afraid this game will disappoint in terms of what can and cannot be done, but I still can't help but be excited; I can't wait to see what people come up with!
5. Arkham Knight - I'm not as hype as I could be after Arkham Origins, but with Rocksteady finishing up the trilogy, I trust they're gonna blow us all away.
6. Splatoon - This game looks like a blast, and now that my friends are getting Wii U's, I'll actually have people to play it against!
7. Yoshi's Woolly World - Yoshi hasn't really had a stellar game since '95; there've been some fun spin-offs, some okay follow-ups, so I'm not sure if I should be having so much faith in Woolly World. Nevertheless, I'm excited for it; hopefully, it recaptures the magic the original Yoshi's Island had 20 years ago.
8. Majora's Mask 3D - I only rented it once. I picked up in the middle of someone else's save file, got confused, and returned it the next day. I plan on doing this game justice this time around.
9. Uncharted 4 - It's Uncharted; we're getting an okay game at the very least, an extraordinary game at best. I may not have a PS4 yet, but unless all of the magic's gone, this is probably gonna be one of the first exclusives I pick up.
10. Dead or Alive 5: Last Round - Dead or Alive's never been one of the best fighting game series, but it's still pretty good. I mean, I'd play it if I had it; that's worth a point, right?
Honorable Mentions:
Street Fighter V - I just assumed this fell in the "Too unknown to count" category. You really think I'd pick DoA over Street Fighter?
Kingdom Hearts III - Second verse, same as the first; honestly, I don't even think it's coming out this year, but I can dream, right?
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero - And again! Just like KHIII, knowing how much detail WayForward puts into each game and how they're about to cut-off PayPal donations, I'm not even sure if this'll be out by 2015's end.
Project S.T.E.A.M. - I'm sold on the concept, but not yet on the gameplay. I'll need to see more of it in action.
Xenoblade Chronicles X - Next year's going to be a busy one for me, so I don't know if I'll have enough time to beat this game, plus I've only played Xenoblade for about 10 minutes, so I'm not quite at "really feeling it" territory here. Still, it's something I'll probably get hype for closer to release, and will definitely pick it up when it comes out!
