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!
