Mine would be:

1. The Legend Of Zelda The Twilight Princess-Gamecube
2. The Legend Of Zelda The Twilight Princess-Wii
3. Super Paper Mario-Gamecube
4. Mass Effect-360
5. The Legend Of Zelda The Phantom Hourglass-DS
6. Fable 2-360
7. Final Fantasy XII-PS2
8. Okami-PS2
9. Lego Star Wars II-360
10. NBA 2K7-360

Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Brothers Wii, and Blue Dragon also have me excited, but probably will not be out until next year. I am waiting to get a conformation on the development of Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic III and Dragon Quest IX. Also i really hope that they release the Dragon Quest V remake over here on the PS2, and that Nintendo makes another 2D Metroid game, along with a Kid Icarus game.

In no particular order, then...

1. Super Paper Mario (GC). Because I love me a pixel. And there will be loads of 'em! Yay for pixelated pixels!
2. Dead Rising (360) - I've always wanted to kill a zombie, or two, or fifty with... bog roll (preferably used bog roll, too)!
3. Gears of War (360) - This is one of the reasons I bought a 360. And one of the reasons I still have my 360. And one of the reasons I will continue to keep my 360. One of my reasons for living in general, I guess.
4. Star Fox Command (DS) - Because the Japanese call it "Star Fox Commando". And it might be fun to play, as well.
5. Mega Man ZX (DS) - Because I haven't played nearly enough Mega Man, and because I've played way too much DS.
6. Yoshi's Island 2 (DS) - Who the heck is Yoshi? Oh, wait - this is more classic Nintendo 2D side-scrolling. Sign me up!
7. Elite Beat Agents (DS) - We are the Men in Black...
8. Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins (PSP) - We've all been waiting for this one. Don't deny it!
9. Half-Life 2: Episode 2 (PC) - If it is released this year. And if it includes Portal. And TF2. And if I can buy it in a store.
10. Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (360) - Because cocaine is too expensive.

1. Stranglehold (360)
2. Guitar Hero II (PS2)

Those are the only two on my must-buy list. My biggest games still don't come out until 2007.

Now, if only I can resist buying a 360 for Stranglehold until next summer...

1) Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii) - dfskljf i want you so b ad
2) Final Fantasy III (DS) - A fantastic looking RPG remake on DS, and proof that Square still loves us despite all their schlock.
3) Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (DS) - I'm happy the Wind Waker graphics stay on for this, which looks like another stellar addition to the already out-of-this-world DS library.
4) Super Paper Mario (Cube) - A 2-D Mario consoles game? Yes please.
5) Star Fox Command (DS) - Thank you for staying inside your Arwing. Can't wait to shoot it up online.
6) Enchanted Arms (360) - Finally, a reason to be happy I got a 360. I cannot wait for this true JRPG and playing it for hours. Bring us Far East of Eden!
7) Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii) - Speaks for itself.
8) Baten Katios Origins (Cube) - One of the best RPGs of this gen, getting a much-deserved sequel. Thank you Nintendo and Namco.
9) Milestone Dreamcast Schump (Dreamcast) - Dreamcast for life. I'm happy that Milestone is still supporting the consoles even in 2006, and with Under Defeat as good as it was this and the rest should be good too.
10) Yoshi's Island 2 (DS) - Finally, a new YI game.

well, thats 8, so the last 2 spots can go to Wii games but there's really none yet that take my fancy that much, probably going to get Sonic and WarioWare, which both sound boring as just existing franchises

Excuse me, but, what are you talking about?
FIRST OF ALL, getting this out of the way, the word is "shmup."
Second, Milestone has not announced another game for release on the Dreamcast this year. They haven't even announced the title of their new NAOMI project, an action game. So, suffice to say, you either have MAD hookups or you're confusing the already released Radirgy (which came out before Under Defeat this year) with some "new Milestone game."

What system?!

I'm up there with the DS people.
1) Final Fantasy III
2) Children of Mana

... That's about it. I mostly buy on what I see at the store at the time and instinct. I don't pay too much attention to upcomming releases unless it's a huge title that's a follow up to something I've been waiting for a really long time, like supreme Commander. :D

Not in any order, just countiung to 10.

1. Gears of War
2. Super Mario Galaxy
3. Zelda/Twilight
4. Super Paper Mario
5. Ultimate Ghosts and Goblins
6. Final Fantasy VII - Dirge of Cererus
7. Final Fantasy III
8. Timeshift (moved to same release date as GnG's, coincidence?)
9. Neverwinter Nights 2
10. Final Fantasy XII
11. Marvel Ultimate Alliance
12. Resistance Fall of Man
13. Half-life 2 (360/PS3)
14. Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom

I'm sure there's a bunch more. There's a question of whether or not I'll be able to get a PS3 (availability, not cost), and what games actually get released. WIll Unreal Tournament 2007 make it out in 2006? God of War 2 looks like it won't. If I go gangster (couple tats and a dude rag) I might add GTA IV and Saint's Row...

Also, Mass Effect probably won't make it until next Christmas. It's already pushed back, way back...looks awesome though KOTOR with extra cool...

Later,

08-01-2006, 09:16 PM

1. Legend of Zelda: TP
2. Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
3. Super Mario Galaxy
4. Mortal Kombat Armageddon
5. WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2007
6. Metroid Prime 3

I can't think of any others at the moment.

#1 Bad Day LA (Xbox)
#2 Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess

I'm really not paying attention to the rest right now. Maybe once I get a X360 and start saving for a Wii (and the like 10 launch games I want for it I'll start to go into panic mode).

Nope! It would have been numero eleven on my list :) I really love the style they've opted for - very Max Payne!

I'm glad to see some love for SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters 2. I was going to post that 10 times, but you get the point just from me saying it. I put 50 hours into the original and would do it again in an instant.

Yep, I believe I clocked 50-60 hours into the first one myself. One(if not the) of the best games of all time.

Nope! It would have been numero eleven on my list :) I really love the style they've opted for - very Max Payne!

I'm excited about this also - I love point n clicks, plus its another game which utilises the great hold the DS sideways which just seems so right.

Card Fighters Clash DS is also there but I'm just hoping not to be dissapointed, the first game is one of my all time favourites so there's a lot of memories to live up to.

Also, should Mother 3 be announced, it'll immediately usurp the #1 spot.

Taking this up a notch... I'll take a copy of the much-rumoured Mother compilation, supposedly heading to the DS. That, for sure, would end up somewhere on my top-ten list in a heartbeat!

It would also make a great stocking filler, Nintendo... *hint* *hint*
