Most Anticipated Games of 2009
 

I know we have a similar thread for movies, but what games are you looking forward to in 2009?

Here's a few of mine to start things off:

-Batman:Arkham Asylum (PS3)
-God of War 3 (PS3)
-Tekken 6 (PS3)
-Professor Layton: Pandora's Box (DS)- Assuming this one gets released this year
-Anything new in the Phoenix Wright/Apollo Justice series (I hope at least that the Edgeworth spin-off game will come out this year) (DS)

King of Fighters XII, Resident Evil 5, and God of War 3 are the main ones on my radar.

Samurai Shodown: Edge of Destiny catches my eye, I just hope it's nothing like the Hyper Neo Geo 64 titles.

Like films, I'm not to keen on anticipating a lot of upcoming releases. Most of them are SNK's PS2 compilations and remixes (King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match, Samurai Shodown Anthology, King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match, King of Fighters Collection NESTS Saga, ADK Soul). Other than those:

-Street Fighter IV (PC - although I'd kill for a Wii version)
-Untitled TMNT game (Wii)
-Madworld (Wii)
-Punch-Out!! (Wii)
-Battle of the Gods (Whatever platforms it'll be finalized on)
-Kirby of the Stars (Wii - that is, if it's ever released)

Prototype, Heavy Rain and Batman: Arkham Asylum.

I'm hoping Mass Effect 2 is out this year as well.

KIng of Fighters XII, yeah!

:P

Yes, who wouldn't love a version of Street Fighter IV with ****** graphics and horrible controls?

Other than SFIV and RE5 there isn't anything that I know of that I'm dying to play right now. If a new Mass Effect did come out I'd be all over that. I am curious to see what comes of this Harmonix Beatles game, and will be observing the progress of the new TMNT with a totally unbalanced mixture of cynicism and hope (guess which there's more of). Other than that I'm not really sure what else to get excited about.

I guess Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires and Guitar Hero Metallica should keep me happy, too.

Oh, ****, and Champions Online.

Those and Klonoa for Wii. I dunno, it looks charming to me. Oh, and HAWX. I'm a big fan of Ace Combat and this looks similar, so I'll check that.

The Wii port of Dead Rising.

And maybe even Onechanbara. Maybe.


EDIT: Also this! http://www.baixakijogos.com.br/wii/t...eos/12489.html lololol

Mad World
Ghostbusters
Batman
Halo Wars (maybe)
And of course RE5

Ghostbusters
God Of War 3
Prototype
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Street Fighter IV
Resident Evil 5

Batman: Arkham Asylum (360)

Yeah, I'm also hoping Arkham turns out well. And Onechanbara does actually look like it might be kind of awesome. At least the 360 version, that's all I'm really looking at.

Sadly, this is the first year where I have nothing to look foward to. Although maybe the new TMNT fighting game since it has some of the people who made SSBM but I'm not giving my hopes up.

Confirmed:
Street Fighter IV
Ghostbusters
Arkham Asylum
Heavy Rain
Bioshock 2
Punch-Out!
Resident Evil 5
Sin and Punishment 2
God of War 3

Long Shots:
Star Fox Wii (only if it's first party)
F-Zero Wii (only if it includes traditional control and builds on GX's frame)
New Super Mario Bros. 2 (Raccoon tail, please?)

I'm not going to let myself get excited about Arkham Asylum. I don't care if it has the crew from TAS working on it, Vengeance had the same thing going for it.

RE5
Street Fighter 4
Legends of Wrestlemania
SVR2010
Bioshock 2
God of War 3

Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy are in it. Done deal.

Is NSMB 2 actually being made?

Really?

I didn't know that voice talent made video games good.

Oh right, how could I forget a classic like Wolverine's Revenge?

You ****er, STryker, I TOLD YOU ABOUT WOLVERINES REVENGE WITH HAMMIL!

HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

Now that that's done, I can't really say I'm looking forward to anything thus far, aside from God of War 3.

Like others have mentioned, a new Mass Effect would be dandy. I played the hell out of the first one.

And I would have said Cry On from Mistwalker, but seeing as that's now canceled, I have nothing else.

Shut up! Three zombies on the screen is better than no zombies on the screen.

Yeah, it is. Miyamoto dropped a light hint a last Summer, but there's other supporting info that is more sensitive.

Wait. Is that that game we talked about alongside Blue Dragon 2? The really AWESOME looking one?

Ghostbusters, Madworld, Punch-Out Wii, and the upcoming TMNT fighting game. God of War 3 can go f*ck itself.

How can you list Punch-Out Wii and say that GoW3 should f*ck itself in one post? Are you insane???

That's the one.

It's because this generation he only owns a Wii, so he has to hate everything on every other console. Including the PS3, which he stoutly defended when he was simply a Sony console owner.

I figured as much.

Hehe, I assume 'tis the season to go back to Ecto bashing.

Sounds like fun. Ecto you fu*ker!

Arkham Asylum and Diablo III

Wow. You're a good one to talk seeing as how anything on the Wii "is a crappy port, huh huh huh, controls blow, huh huh huh, waggle fails" and "there are only like, huh huh huh, four good games on PS3, uh huh huh huh." Suck it.

I assume now that you've gotten rid of your Wii and all your games, we won't be hearing from you concerning any future Wii releases. So hush up, dick knob.

I had 2 Wii's, f*cko. So no.

And almost everything on the Wii IS a crappy port, waggle controls DO fail and the PS3 DOES only have 4 good games.

I'm not hating on **** because I don't own it, which is something you've always seemed to do. I remember when you'd bring up God of War to defend Sony, what happened to all of that?

You've gotten no better at defending your brain dead opinion. This pleases me.

The PS3 sucks because I can't play Uncharted or Uncharted 2.

I find it amusing that you knobs are so f*cking unsure and insecure about your whiny little opinions that one negative mention of God of War 3 and you flip.

Sony deserves my contempt for releasing a flawed piece of hardware that costs like, what, a thousand dollars Canadian? I loved my PS2. Wish I could play the new Grand Theft Auto and Metal Gear Solid games, but hey, that's life.

The point being that I was being a little facetious for the sake of showing you dinks that one can be happy and fulfilled with a Wii, and that there are many upcoming A+ games for the system. God of War this, blah blah blah. Give me a new Punch-Out any day.

So, I repeat. Suck it.

I think there is a misunderstanding: Our opinions are never "insecure", "whiny" or even "little", quite the opposite, they are FACT. The opinion that there are "many upcoming A+ games" for the Wii on the other hand is a fairy tale.

Remember how amazing Sonic and the Secret Rings was?

I can't wait for the new Punch-out to be yet another mini-game that lasts about a half hour.

Ahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaha~!!!

:cry:

Also, I love this thread. It's like what the VG section used to be.

I'm not going crazy over it, but is anyone else excited for Darksiders?
