Board 8 > Coming out of E3, what are your most anticipated games?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I made this topic last week. Has anybody changed their minds since then, or was anybody sold on anything this E3? We had a lot of Odyssey talk, and that's probably still the case today, because oh my god that looks great.

shout out to Lockes for single-handedly wishing a 2D Metroid into existence.
---

The Evil Within 2 is definitely my #1, followed by Metro: Exodus.

Also really hyped for Call of Duty: WWII, Wolfenstein II, Days Gone, & Spider-Man.
---

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown
---

Odyssey gonna make me buy a Switch

also Another Metroid 2 Remake 2

and new console Monster Hunter
---

Super Mario Odyssey, Metroid Prime 4, and Kingdom Hearts III mainly
---

Ever Oasis
Xenoblade 2 (really happy to see gameplay is mostly the same, and the new blade mechanic is intriguing)
Ni no Kuni 2 (I only just found out it won't have the monster collecting aspect of the original, but that's fine)
Yoshi for Switch (and I'm not even really big on platformers, it's just so damn cute and charming)
Mario + Rabbids (didn't know what to expect, but this looks to have a lot of potential)
---

Super Mario Odyssey
Xenoblade Chronicles 2

I'll probably get a Switch.
---

Fire Emblem Warriors, tbh.

Gotta get a Switch.
---

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, honestly.
Then Odyssey
Guess I have to get a Switch...

The New Gran Turismo game and Forza both looked good, guess I need to upgrade to Windows 10...
---

mnk, did you try the Ever Oasis demo? I downloaded it last night but didn't have an opportunity to dig into it. I liked what I saw in the Treehouse stream though.

Really? I didn't look too in depth but I'm not feeling this one - maybe Hyrule Warriors was enough for me until a nice price on DQ2
---

Dragonball FighterZ
Super Mario Odyssey
Xenoblade 2
---

Pretty much just Dragonball FighterZ
---

oh yeah Dragonball FighterZ
---

Odyssey skyrocketed to my number one most wanted game.
---

Battlefront 2
---

Monster Hunter World.
---

Super Mario Odyssey. I was always gonna get it, but it looked incredibly good at E3.

Aside from that, I'm really excited for DBZ Fighters.
---

Knack 2
---

Odyssey jumped above xenoblade for me

but those are still the only two games I'm excited about

I'm playing it now. Already I'm liking what I'm seeing from the oasis management, and I can tell from the registry that there's going to be quite a variety of characters to recruit with different weapons, skills and innate traits (like having one character in your party will reduce damage from specific enemy types, while another boosts healing powers, or another has the ability to mine). I counted 62 spaces for characters, presumably all of which can be added to your party.

Combat is fine so far. Limited options, but I hear according to the manual that you get more over time, which makes sense. Something like leveling up a Seedling's Bloom Booth unlocks new combat abilities for them. Dunno how it would work for the other races.

Apparently camera control sucks if you don't have a New 3DS. The C-stick controls it just fine if you do, but otherwise it's just using L to get the camera to change to the direction you're facing? Demo doesn't support the CPP either, but maybe that's just the demo and the full game will. Otherwise yikes, what an oversight.

Sadly 3D doesn't look as nice as I was hoping. Depth is good, but it actually makes outlines grainier. The game still looks really nice overall, though.

I read that the demo automatically ends as soon as you level up the oasis, so don't rush into that if there's still more exploring or things you want to do.

Xenoblade
South Park
Cuphead

My most hype probably goes to Spider-Man tho. I'm really hoping it can fill the void that Arkham Knight and Origins gave me
---

Also I'm actually kinda interested in Kingdom Battle. It seems like a solid strategy game to me.

The thing that the Rabbids have been missing ever since Rayman was a straight man - someone to react to their ludicrousness and insanity and balance them out. (It's the same problem that Minions suffers from)

And now we have a whole cast of them.

Not saying it'll make the Rabbids good but the nature of the game will, at the very least, balance out their worst traits.

But then I've always had a high tolerance for "annoying" type characters (though the price of that is a low tolerance for "snobby" type characters) so eh.

Hey, thanks for the impressions.

I've been looking for a low-stakes 3DS game to get me through summer transit, hopefully this fits the bill. Gonna try the demo out later today while the kids mess around with Arms, I think.

If I had a PS4 or Xbox One, I'd have some non-Nintendo games on this list as well. I tend to be a relatively late adopter of non-Nintendo systems when I do decide to buy one. For example, I got a PS3 near the end of 2012.
