2007's going to be hell of difficult to top, but I'm seeing a bunch of shit on the horizon which I want already:

WII
- Brawl (yes, I am alive)
- No More Heroes
- WiiFit (yeah yeah yeah)
- Okami Wii
- Mario Kart Wii
- We Love Golf (CAMELOT~)
- Endless Ocean (this could either be really cool or the apotheosis of boredom)

DS
- Super Dodgeball Brawlers (YES YES YES YES YES YES YES)
- It's A Wonderful World (this is actually a double-dip since I had already bought the import, but this is still an immediate purchase)
- Bangai-O Spirits

360
- Burnout Paradise

Wii
WiiFit (haha)
Mario Kart
Okami
Lego Batman!
Wiiware titles
new Pikmin game thats surely coming
ditto Animal Crossing, although theres been some odd rumours about how nintendo europe & us are opposing the japanese plans to make moving from village to village almost MMO-like

DS
Advance Wars
Layton
Wonderful World

i think i'll buy a 360 when they put out a version which is £200, has a hard drive, wifi, and a falcon chipset. probably autumn next year? by then there will be tons of great games in the bargain bins as well.

It should be a good year. There are still quite a few games from 2007 I hope to pick up in 2008 if their prices go down too. But actual 2008 games I can think of off the top of my head...

Burnout Paradise
Devil May Cry 4
No More Heroes
Mario Kart
Hot Shots Golf 5
Ikaruga HD
Wipeout HD
Echochrome
Left 4 Dead
Metal Gear Solid 4
Grand Theft Auto 4
Soul Calibur 4
Tekken 6
Killzone 2
Little Big Planet
Gran Turismo 5

Super Dodgeball Brawlers

WAHT REALLY?!

full disclosure: i have a spreadsheet with the release dates of every game i am even remotely interested in, which i upkeep fairly often by ensuring no release dates have changed :( it's a google doc, but even so it'll still be funny if you say "willm.xls" or something.

That said...

360 - gta4, super SF2 hd remix, splinter cell conviction, FALLOUT 3!!!, alan wake, brutal legend, infinite undiscovery, rez hd.

ps3 - MGS4, MGS Online, FFXIII, FFXIII Versus, littlebigplanet, jak/daxter, nobi nobi boy

wii - no more heroes, brawl, m. kart, fragile

ds - Advance Wars DS 2, Nanostray 2, N+, Tom Clancy's EndWar, Civilization Revolution, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, Super Dodgeball Brawlers, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates, Disciples II, Codename: Panzers, ASH, Line Rider, Nintendo Crossword, Luminous Arc 2, Final Fantasy Tactics A2: The Sealed Grimoire, Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe, Dragon Quest IX, Warlords DS, Project M, Sonic RPG

That, and I already have about 3 months of DS games ot catch up on, since my DS broke and i had to end it for repairs :(

<i>WAHT REALLY?!</i>

Q1 2008, getting localized

http://www.dsfanboy.com/2007/09/03/super-everything-but-dodgeball-ds-screenshots/

seriously, after Brawl this may be the thing I want the most

also yes, I forgot about SF2 HD and Rez HD and Fallout 3 (I had no idea it was getting a 360 release!). Brutal Legend is intriguing since I was in middle school, but I'm playing Psychonauts now and I'm seriously not loving how it controls. Maybe last-gen 3d platformers are just too clunky for me post-Galaxy/Assassin's Creed?

also I hope to god that I'm man enough to avoid the temptation to buy a PS3 pretty much just for LittleBigPlanet.

Oh yeah - I'm definitely interested in the new Fallout game - it sounds really interesting (and hopefully a little more focused than Oblivion - which I still haven't come close to "finishing").

Maybe the new Splinter Cell too - it looks to be using the crowd thing from Assassin's Creed?

I don't think Nobi Nobi Boy is going to make it out in 2008, but I hope I'm wrong. It didn't look to be very far along in that demo a month or two ago...

I forgot about Metal Gear Solid Online!

If the rumors are true - maybe we'll see God of War 3 and Gears of War 2 battling it out this time next year

Jeff LeVine, Friday, 14 December 2007 16:50 (eighteen years ago)

Nobody else is looking forward to Left 4 Dead? The 28 days later style (fast) zombie multiplayer game being published by Valve? Where you can play as survivor or zombie??? This may be the game I'm looking forward to the most next year...

I would've listed it, but hasn't it been "coming soon" for like, 100 years? Also, that name... ugh. Might as well call it "Shotgun 2 Tha Grave" or something

Will M., Friday, 14 December 2007 17:06 (eighteen years ago)

360 - Left 4 Dead (me, too), Alan Wake, Silent Hill 5 (please be great, please, please), Dead Space, Brutal Legend
