Tales of Graces F: I loved the Japanese version, so I'm really psyched to play this in English. IMO, it has the best 3D console battle system in the Tales series (though I do appreciate Tales of Rebirth's combat system as well). It's quick, adds elements of strategy and the moves are just fun to execute.
Catherine: It looks like a work of art. I think I want to play this moreso for the story than the gameplay. Played the demo, gameplay didn't bother me too much, so I'm buying this Day 1.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: I love Zelda. I haven't played a bad Zelda game on a Nintendo console yet. I don't think it's going to be as bad as a lot of people seem to think it might be. Very interested in what direction this game takes the Zelda series in.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3DS: See above. I'm psyched to play this on the go after seeing the new screens from GDC. Hopefully we'll get a Majora's Mask remake soon.
Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection: I have a soft spot for this one because it's the first FF I played that I enjoyed, having played the first FF a few months before. I prefer the look of the sprite-based remake over the 3D remake anyway.
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception: Drake is quite a charismatic character. I enjoyed the previous two entries, so I'm looking forward to this one. It looks great, at least.
The Last Guardian: I loved ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, so I want to see what Fumito Ueda has up his sleeve this time.
Persona 2 Portable: I love the SMT games and will probably get nearly anything Atlus throws out that caters to my interests. Persona 2: Innocent Sin's remake is shaping up to be something pretty awesome to those who have played it, and those who haven't.
Final Fantasy XIII-2: I didn't like Final Fantasy XIII too much. I thought it was mediocre, but definitely not the worst game I've ever played since I've played worse (Beyond the Beyond, Quest 64, Secret of the Stars and Paladin's Quest say hi). I hope FFXIII-2 will be better, but that's probably being incredibly optimistic, given SE's latest track record with regards to shaping narratives. I really want Final Fantasy XIII-2 to be better, though.
Final Fantasy Type-0: I'm still trying to decide whether I should import this or not. When it was called "Agito XIII", it was the only game in the FNC games that consistently kept me interested. The latest trailer from January wowed me over and I can't wait to get my hands on this. It looks good, it looks like it plays good, and the plot sounds great.
Edit: Totally forgot
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky and
Paper Mario 3DS.
There are a few games that I might get, but just not Day 1: Ar Tonelico Qoga, Dissidia Duodecim, Okamiden, Dark Souls and Valkyria Chronicles 3. I hope Ni no Kuni, Tales of Xillia, Tales of the Abyss 3DS, Xenoblade, and The Last Story are released here, but that might be wishful thinking on my part.
Not listing FF Versus XIII because I highly doubt that it'll come out this year.
