Would have been Arma 3, but thats 2013 now by the looks of things. Still, if on the chance its going to still be on time for 2012, then yes:

Arma 3..
 

Aguila

#ICONIC
Pikmin 3
Luigi's Mansion

Those are the ones im definitely getting. The rest of the Wii U and 3DS lineup is a maybe.
 
Persona 4 Golden
Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward
The Ratchet & Clank Collection
Zone of the Enders HD Collection
Jet Set Radio
DJ Max Technika Tune
Ragnarok Odyssey
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
Assassin's Creed III: Liberation

PSASBR
Borderlands 2
AC3 + AC3 Vita

That's it. 2012 Freaking sucks for games.
 
PSABR
3DS Games: Paper Mario, Luigis Mansion, NSMB 2

Halo 4 (sort of)
NBA 2K13 (sort of)
Fifa 13 (sort of)
TTT 2 (sort of)
Marvel vs Capcom Origins (sort of)
GTA V (lol)

There is really not much I would buy this year besides PSABR & those 3DS games. The rest of those games I'm following but most likely won't buy this year. There is about 5 games exclusives on the Wii U I would buy, just not enough for me to be an early adopter on a brand new system.
 
It would be nice to see the votes updated in the original post again.

Also, Jet Set Radio should have its votes combined. It's the same game regardless of platform.
 
In no particular order...

- Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance (3DS)
- SoundShapes (PS3/Vita)
- New Super Mario Bros. 2 (3DS)
- PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (PS3/Vita)
- Paper Mario: Sticker Star (3DS)
- Okami HD (PS3)
- NiGHTS into dreams... HD (PS3/360)
- New Super Mario Bros. U (Wii U)
- Persona 4 Golden (Vita)
- DJ MAX Technika Tune (Vita)
- The Wii U itself (does that count?)
 
My top two are ACIII and Halo 4.
I'm not 100 percent sold on Dishonored yet, but it rounds out my top 3.

I'm not sure about RE6 since the impressions so far aren't reassuring. Blops 2 is a mandatory purchase because it's the only game my IRL friends will play online, but I'm not especially hyped about it.

Assassin's Creed 3
Hitman Absolution
Dishonored

its gonna be an assassin fest
AC3 as well.
Halo 4.(pretty refreshing change so far and god damn at the value with Spartan Ops and just the look of the game. Corrine has that lighting engine humming man)
Hitman as well.

But Dishonored just looks like a terrible exercise in AI frustration to me. Backed up by the devs sort of letting it on that the AI isn't too strong. Makes me worried.

As another poster said. Arma3 even if pushed back. Beyond all the games I listed I know, without hesitation, that Arma 3 will eat up perhaps 4x the hours as the other games combined. Strange not many GTA comments.

Guilty extra mention. Nights. Favorite game of that Gen on any system. Excited.

Resident Evil 6 and nothing comes close.

Chris and Leon in the same game? Been wanting this since RE2.

Will pick up Day 1.

Project X Zone. X makes this a must have.

G Generation - Wing Gundam EW? G Unit? Exia Avalanch? Hell yes.

Halo Prime - Don't like Halo, but I own them all as well as the consoles and I want to see how they follow up the only good game Halo has had.

Dishonored is the most important game of the 2nd half of 2012, and really all of 2012 since the 1st half was garbage yielding almost nothing of significance. If this game turns out perfectly it could save gaming for me. I'm glad to see it ranking so high on gaf finally, even if the threads on the game are wastelands. I guess word is slowly spreading.

Other games I'm looking forward to

Sleeping Dogs
Darksiders 2
Borderlands 2
Xcom Enemy Unknown
Assassin's Creed 3
Hitman
Far Cry 3

For 3DS I'm hoping the Castlevania game turns out great. I need as many high quality western games as possible for when I get the system if I'm going to have it for more than a year or two.
