Extreme anticipation:
Starbound
The Iconoclasts
Scribblenauts Unlimited
Retro City Rampage
Thirty Flights of Loving

Great interest:
Assassin's Creed III
Monaco
Dishonored
The Witness
Lucius
Prison Architect

Too bad Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs and Bioshock Infinite have been delayed to 2013 :(
 
Dishonored
Possibly MoH:W, though I think Spec Ops: The Line has kind of changed the way I view modern shooters irreparably.

Lots of goodies on PSN coming up:

Dyad
Malicious
Sound Shapes
Papo & Yo
The Unfinished Swan
Okami HD (never played it)

Weird seeing the Dishonored love since in this thread since it didn't rate a mention in the Nielsen poll.

DOTA2
Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm
Castle Storm
Happy Wars
Guardians of Middle Earth
And maybe the new Criterion Need for Speed.

I'm honestly expecting 2012 to be one of the worst years in videogames for a long, long time.

Persona 4 The Golden
Persona 4 Arena
Assasin's Creed III (Consoles and Vita)
Kingdom Hearts 3D
Pokemon Black/White 2
Sly Cooper Thieves in Time
Playstation All Stars Battle Royale
Wii U (Probably won't get at launch)
 
Loads, but keeping it down to just three:

Resi 6
Assassin's Creed 3
Yakuza 5

But also pretty much everything major that's coming out on the 3DS as well. And the Wii U of course.
 
Nothing that really gets me pumped, with surprises me. Assassins Creed III looks amazingly well crafted and I will surely buy it, and maybe I'll take a look at Halo 4, but beyond that...
 
Darksiders II.
Sleeping Dogs.
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
Borderlands 2.
Dead or Alive 5.
Resi 6.
Dishonored.
XCOM: Enemy Unkown.
MoH: Warfighter.
P4 The Golden.
SFXT Vita.
PSASBR.
ACIII and ACIII Liberation.
Far Cry 3.
Hitman: Absolution.
Black Ops 2.

Wow, this is an expensive year for me.
Edit: Oh, and Sound Shapes and P4 Arena.
Edit 2; Also forgot Sly 4, LBP Vita, LBP Karting, Ratchet and Clank and ZoE HD Collections.

It's so close now...
 
Most things I care about got moved to 2013. Still: XCOM, Paper Mario, and I'll keep my eye on Dishonored and Hitman.

edit: Need for Speed

Dishonored is easily my most anticipated game for me, can't wait :)

Honorable mentions go out to Hitman Absolution and Assassin's Creed III though.

-New Super Mario Bros. 2
-Madden NFL 13
-Tekken Tag Tournament 2
-Need for Speed: Most Wanted
-Forza Horizon
-Assassin's Creed III
-Halo 4
-Rayman Legends (not the Wii U version)
 
Dark Souls DLC

Resident Evil 6 doesn't look too good, but I will buy just for Leon.

Unless they announce something good for Wii U launch, there's not much for me to play it seems.
 
Hawken. Incredible neo-city visuals and combat looks really intense.

Torchlight 2. I've been watching walkthroughs/gameplays (TotalBiscuit) of the beta and it looks like it could become my favorite game in the genre (PoE is too conservative in it's design for me).

FTL. I already know this game is awesome as I'm playing the beta.

Project P-100. The most fun, charming & interesting looking Japanese console game I've seen in a while.

Retro City Rampage. Not sure if it's actually going to be released for PC this year.

Assassins Creed 3 (Unless people say there is lots of that awful Sci-Fi. AC2 had too much of it. AC1 was unbearable).
Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm (If it comes out, although I seriously doubt it will).

That's about it.

Ugh, there's too much going on this year in terms of both hardware and software. I'm for sure getting a 3DS XL once Silver comes to NA, maybe a Wii U, and maybe the new PS3 (as my current one is on life support). As for games...

DS/3DS:
NSMB2 (I never miss a mainline Mario, no matter how bad they are)
Pokemon Black 2 and White 2
Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward
I might also get Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Paper Mario 3DS if they get good reviews.

Wii/Wii U:
The Last Story (I have my pre-order paid off in full)
Kirby Collection
NSMBU
Pikmin 3
Rayman Legends
Project P-100

Vita:
Persona 4: Golden

I don't see anything interesting on either of the HD twins this year. I'll still be spending a lot though. Anywhere from $450-$1400 on games. Fucking gross. I'm actually thinking of going handheld only next gen, as I have a MASSIVE console backlog. I mainly want a Wii U to play Pikmin 3 at this point anyway so I'll probably cave in once they show the new 3D Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Animal Crossing, or Smash Bros. *sigh*

I'm sorry wallet.
