Games I'm looking forward to next year
7 years ago
General
Let's begin.
Now that I have played Super Smash Bros Ultimate, I can dare say that I am satisfied with the games we got this year. 2018 was yet another great year for video games. A few bad apples really, but nothing too damaging to this year. And after The Game Awards, I think I have a good idea of what I'd like to play next year.
-Kingdom Hearts III and Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition: I'm getting these out of the way now because out of the interesting games we're getting next year, they'll have the least wait time, both of them coming out in January. Tales of Vesperia DE is the true, complete version of the most beloved game in the Tales series, while Kingdom Hearts III is the long awaited conclusion to the long and winding road that began in the first game on the PS2. I'm looking forward to both.
-MediEvil: After getting remakes of the classic Crash and Spyro trilogies, we now have another PlayStation classic reborn. Well, kind of, since Dan's still dead. Rather than it being a scaled up version of the somewhat maligned PSP version, it looks to be going for a full on remake of the original game. Frankly, I can't wait.
-Digimon Survive: Can't say much about this right now, but I'm glad that we're finally getting a Digimon game on the Switch.
-Fire Emblem: Three Houses: Again, I don't know much about this game, but, it's Fire Emblem. That's enough for me.
-Daemon X Machina: It's an Action RPG where you fly a mech. Must I say more?
-Psychonauts 2: The quirkiest, most underrated platformer I have ever played is finally getting its proper sequel. We don't have a solid release date, but we'll see what comes down the line.
-Indivisible: I've been following Lab Zero's RPG from the moment it was announced. I'm looking forward to finally playing it next year.
-Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night: Again, something I've been waiting on for so many years. If Konami won't give us a proper Castlevania game, this could be a good alternative. Just, please don't be a repeat of Mighty No. 9. Please.
-Jump Force: One fond memory from my teen years was reading Shonen Jump magazine. It's what got me to really expand my interests in anime and got me reading manga. And now, there's a 3 v 3 fighting game with characters from Naruto, One Piece, Hunter X Hunter, Dragon Ball, Bleach, Rurouni Kenshin, Saint Seiya, and more coming out soon. Gonna be one to keep an eye on.
-Devil May Cry 5: After the flawed experiment by Team Ninja angered almost everyone, a proper DMC game finally appears, with three playable characters, and the same fast, crazy, and stupidly awesome gameplay fans love. We've got the mysterious newcomer, V, Nero, who's been upgraded from whiny emo to wisecracking badass, and Dante, who despite being an old man now, hasn't lost any of his charm and awesomeness.
-Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order: Did anyone honestly think we'd see this series again? I honestly thought that after the second game that was it. But now its back, and as a Switch exclusive. Looks pretty solid, despite Perlmutter still thinking no one will know who the X-Men and Fantastic Four (a moot point once the Fox buyout is complete), but it's already made better than MvC Infinite by having Wolverine in the game.
-The Outer Worlds: The original creators of Fallout, as in before Bethesda bought the rights, are bringing us an interesting looking space western RPG. I'll be keeping an eye of this.
So yeah. I'm sure we'll be seeing more games soon, but that's it for now.

OP
CTR is also something I'm looking forward to, but I didn't want the journal to be too long.
