[SirenoftheVoid]

there's a couple of Tales games coming out that i'm looking forward to.there's also a Fire Emblem coming out on the 3DS which i'm hoping to pick up during the first half of this year hopefully.the Fire Emblem games can be frustrating at times but they're just awesome,and the new ones have drop dead gorgeous graphic and music! most likely some others that i forgot too

[xlCaRBoN]

You Miss, are amazing.

[ryoatreides1]

Awesome List

Those games are on my list too except Bioshock Infinite because I don't like the game mechanic. :)

I'm also looking forward to Ni no Kuni, Atelier Meruru, Sleeping Dogs (True Crime Hongkong).

[cclbiah]

Borderlands 2, Fuck yes.

[metalmayhem007]

Great list , i'm looking forward to most on that list as well as The Last of Us and The Last Guardian

[randomer24700]

[randomer24700]

I seriously gained SO much respect for you when I saw tales of graces f AND J&D collection. Tales of series rocks.

symphonia is my favourite game ever

[StephsTooDef]

@randomer24700 That's awesome. I've set out to collect all of the Tales games that have been released in the US. I've got a handful to go!

[Classicsrw]

I'm definitely looking forward to Black Rock Shooter: The Game coming stateside sometime this year.

[TomBrokawisback]

I swear every year my most anticipated games are never mentioned haha. My most anticipated games this year are Starhawk, May Payne 3, and Inversion, good thing is they all I believe come out in Q1 and Q2. If Last of Us comes out that will be another game, but I'm not exactly sure that game will be coming out.

[NintyFanboy64]

Im really looking forward for the wii u and psp vita and the new games for the 3ds!

[assassin96100]

[StephsTooDef]

@assassin96100 Lol. Oh course not. There's nothing wrong with that!

[mrgoten1414]

Paper mario 3d,Luigi's mansion 2

[NintendoGamerTV]

[Uvi91]

Hey, Steph, I read in Nintendo Power Magazine that Xenoblade Chronicles is going to get released here in North America. What took Nintendo so long?  About time they wised up, eh.

[commoncrater]

Aliens Colonial Marines anyone........anyone

[sharkey360]

I look forward to Halo 4, Mass Effect 3, The Witcher 2 (Xbox 360) and GTA5.

[ddhhT]

Kingdom Hearts 3D

Tales of Abyss

Mario Party 9 and other unannounced Wii or 3DS games.

but the big one is Wii U.

[GamerAnas]

three hd ps2 games for ps3 on Blu-Ray disc for low-price !!

[GamerAnas]

[TheGameReviewer393]

[Safechildrentips]

Do you have Mario Super Sluger's?

[StephsTooDef]

@Safechildrentips No I don't.

[LikeToGame80]

me too I cant wait for the wiiu

[StephsTooDef]

@DonDonRaiden A lot of people are excited for Diablo 3. This year is going to rock!

[StephsTooDef]

@EDDY2553 That's a great looking list. I really need to get around to playing Metro 2013. I've heard great things about it.

[Gamerlife190]

nice list! i agree with most of the games, especially Kingdom Hearts 3D and Mass Effect 3. hope you have a great 2012.

[sobegamer21]

hey steph, so im deciding wheather i want to get a 3DS or wait for the psvita. in your opinion what do you think is the better handheld.

[Gamerlife190]

@sobegamer21 3DS for several different reasons. 1) way cheaper, especially since the memory cards for the vita are so expensive. 2) eshop + virtual console games. 3) great franchise games such as mario, zelda, metroid, professor layton, etc. you won't see on vita whereas vita doesn't have many good exclusive games. 4) backwards compatible (meaning it can play DS games whereas vita can't play psp umd's). And more reasons but I'm out of space lol.

[sobegamer21]

@Gamerlife190 Thanks! Are there prepaid cards for the 3ds like they have for psn and the 360 to buy things in the eshop?

[Gamerlife190]

@sobegamer21 yep, there are! you can also spend exact amounts rather than buying in intervals of $5 now. just click purchase even if you don't have the funds and it'll add whatever you need (if you're using debit or credit card instead of points). if you get a 3ds, hope you have fun :P 

[sobegamer21]

@Gamerlife190 Thanks you so much. lol i wont keep bothering you anymore :) your comments have pushed me towards wanting one even more. I am definetly gonna be getting one!!!!

[Gamerlife190]

@sobegamer21 No problem at all :). Congrats, i know you'll enjoy it!!

[erdvilla]

For me 2012 will be complete after playing Mass Effect 3, GTA V, Borderlands 2 and the final Assassins Creed. There might be other good games that I surely play but those are welcome extras, while this ones are MUST before the end of the World on Dec-21st (<-Bullshit XD).

[MstrMonstar]

World Of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria. I know, I know, WoW is old now...and Panda's may be too much. But Iam addicted still. Nothing I can do! :')

[Charassic]

Great list Steph! My most anticipated game is Theatrhythm Final Fantasy. Easily.

[herbytree]

Happy New Year. Hope you have a great one :)

[ZRPGRevamped]

I am so hyped for Paper Mario 3D (I already have it pre-ordered), Animal Crossing 3D, Mass Effect 3, and Luigi's Mansion 2. I am starting to find interest in Lollipop Chainsaw as well, and I really I hope I get the chance to play some games I missed as well as perhaps get a PS3 or Wii U!

[MetalJesusRocks]

Good list with several I have not heard of before! I'd have to add the new SSX reboot, cuz I love me some Tricky!

[MultiDude185]

Also looking forward to Kingdoms of Amalur, Asura's Wrath, Devil May Cry 5, Ghost Recon Future Soldier... Lots and lots of good stuff coming out ;]

[reemCGR]

Steph's are you gonna do Overlooked Games of 2011 and Favorite Games of 2011???

[StephsTooDef]

@reemCGR I most likely will but there aren't that many games that I didn't get around to playing.

[dkmariolink]

Skyrim DLC ^.^. Oh and Steph, you should really play Corpse Party for the PSP, its very scary, Japanese horror.

[StephsTooDef]

@dkmariolink I downloaded Corpse Party on Saturday. I'm really early on but I love it so far! I'm sure it's going to make my Fav games of '11 list.

[StephsTooDef]

@dkmariolink I downloaded Corpse Party on Saturday. I'm really early on but I love it so far! I'm sure it's going to make my Fav games of '11 list.

[StephsTooDef]

@dkmariolink I downloaded Corpse Party on Saturday. I'm really early on but I love it so far! I'm sure it's going to make my Fav games of '11 list.

[kyoya941]

the tales of series looks alot like eden eternal you should check it out btw its a free to play mmorpg

[StephsTooDef]

@kyoya941 I'm not big on mmo's but I'll look the game up to see if it's something I'd be interested in.

[troynic]

when is bioshock infinites release date?

[StephsTooDef]

@troynic It doesn't have a definite release date as of right now.

[gamereviewsss]

shin megami tensei devil survivor 2 is my most anticipated.

[StephsTooDef]

@gamereviewsss Nice. Get ready to play it....it's coming out soon.

[KeruptKiller]

Wow great list... the only games I would add is Tekken Tag 2, Xenoblade, Luigi Mansion 2, SSX & DMC collection. Thats all I could think of off the top of my head, because your list is amazing as is!!!

[StephsTooDef]

@KeruptKiller Luigi's Mansion 2 and SSX will definitely get some love over here. There's going to be a DMC HD collection? Damn....I had no clue.

[gergthemerg]

I'm most excited for Dishonored, Ghost Recon Future Soldier, Starhawk, and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. I'm also waiting to hear about the Game of Thrones RPG, being published by Atlus and they've been on a streak of really great games.

[StephsTooDef]

@gergthemerg Kingdoms sof Amalur was a game I was planning on getting day one. But I had to change those plans since the Vita is coming out like a week later. Let me know how it is once you get it.

[DaJoshDude]

GTA 5 and Halo 4 :D

[StephsTooDef]

@DaJoshDude Nice!

[relewis2011]

Wow. I'm not sure if I enjoyed watching this video or not. You made me realize how big of a hit my wallet's going to take this year, Steph! LOL! But really, this year is definitely going to be a great year for us gamers. Kingdom Hearts ftw! I cannot wait for DDD, and from what I've read and seen so far, I'm sure I won't be disappointed.

Bioshock Infinite is also one of my most anticipated games. I just played through Bioshock 2 and loved it more than the first, so I can't wait for Infinite!

[StephsTooDef]

@relewis2011 KINGDOM HEARTS FTW!!!! Rusty, I know we are going to be drooling over the game once it comes out. You know how much we need our KH fix. Bioshock Infinite looks like it is going to blow the other games out of the water (lol). I can't wait to actually get my hands on it.

[mitnosi]

Great list Steph, a bit too hard for me to condense mine down to just 10. Also if you havent heard about it, check into Ni No Kuni coming out for PS3!

[StephsTooDef]

@mitnosi Ni No Kuni looks AMAZING!!! OMG I love the art work. Is that coming this year? If so then that is the 11th game on this list.

It was hard trying to only list off 10....but I've been excited for these 10 games for a while now.

[DrumLine769]

I am most excited for Sorcery on the PS3. I can not wait to use my Playstation Move controller to the main reason why I bought one. The game looks like it will be fantastic, and will be loads of fun to play. And I can not wait to see my Move controller glow many different colors :D

[StephsTooDef]

@DrumLine769 Sorcery! I'm glad to hear it will be hitting the PS3 this year. That game was the main reason I bought a Move.

[Radioactive1080z]

Bio-Shock Infinite, Mass Effect 3, Counter Strike Global Offensive, Halo 4, the Vita and almost its entire launch titles in general

[StephsTooDef]

@Radioactive1080z Nice. You're going all out for the Vita launch? I want to get 3 games (besides Little Deviants that comes with the bundle). Not sure which 3 I'm going to pick up yet.

[Radioactive1080z]

@StephsTooDef I'm actually going to wait until next christmas for the Vita (I'm running into some financial trouble aka I'm 16 and jobs are scarce) and I'm more concerned with building my xbox 360 library, but i think I'm going to get about 3 games when I get to buying the Vita

[StephsTooDef]

@Radioactive1080z Good luck with the job search. I know that can be hard when your 16. Makes sense to wait on the Vita in your case. How is your 360 collection coming along?

[Radioactive1080z]

@StephsTooDef Pretty good, I've got Halo 3, Bioshock and Mass Effect 2 when I bought the console last spring. And to add to that I have gotten From Dust Bioshock 2, Rage, Assassin's Creed 1 and 2, The Orange Box, Skyrim, and Red Dead Redemption. I pre ordered Infinite, and I'm hoping to get ME3, Halo 4, Valve's new counter strike game, and the original mass effect this year

[mike00099]

Personally I can't wait for ninja gaiden 3 and the new devil may cry looks good too

[StephsTooDef]

@mike00099 I haven't seen anything about the new DMC. I need to check it out since I love the games.

[SifuIroh]

Halo 4 o.0

[dboyneo]

2012 for me is like this Kid icaurs (3ds) Resident evil revelation (3ds) Uncharted (vita) Kingdom harts dream drop distance (3ds) Tekken 3d (3ds) Tales of Grace (ps3) Xenoblade (wii). Ninja gaiden 3 (wii u) Drakstalkers 2 (wii U) Dragon quest 10 (wii u) Pikmin 3 (wii u) Final Fantasy 13-2 (ps3) Heros of ruin (3ds) Beyond the Labyrinth (3ds) Mgs3 (3ds) Monster Hunter tri g (3ds) Monster Hunter 4 (3ds)

[ryanc519]

And also Yakuza Dead Souls

Neverdead

[StephsTooDef]

@ryanc519 I've heard a lot about Neverdead. I need to check out some videos on it. What's Yakuza Dead Souls about?

[ryanc519]

My list of 2012 day one purchase games: Dragon's dogma, Asura's wrath, Max Payne 3, Street Fighter VS Tekken, Lollipop Chainsaw, Final Fantasy Type 0, GTA 5(HIGHLY ANTICIPATED), Dragon's Crown for VITA, Metal Gear Rising (HIGHLY ANTICIPATED), Anarchy Reigns Binary Domain

[StephsTooDef]

@ryanc519 Amazing list.

[SOLIDSNAKEXXX360]

CALL OF DUTY MODERN WARFARE 7!!!!!!!!!!!!

[henryblazer20]

good list , Steph, but you forgot to mention Just Dance 4

[StephsTooDef]

@henryblazer20 LOL. Darn. I knew I forgot something.

[zeno101200]

Oh boy, I'm soooo excited for Graces f and Abyss 3D. I really hope Symphonia gets a port to the 3DS.

[StephsTooDef]

@zeno101200 I would love to see Symphonia hit the 3DS. That's one of my favorite RPG's of all time.

[zeno101200]

@StephsTooDef It's actually my favorite game, period. It would be incredible for it to be on the 3DS.

[hassanultimate2]

I cant wait for Kingdom hearts dream drop distance and isnt xeno blade commin soon to the USa

[StephsTooDef]

@hassanultimate2 Yes Xenoblade is coming to the US. Release date is early April.

[luminousfish45]

Kid Icarus Uprising

Luigis Mansion 2

KH Dream Drop Distance

Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney

Paper Mario 3D

Lots of 3DS love lol

[StephsTooDef]

@luminousfish45 That's what's up. I love the handheld love. I can't wait for all of those games....especially Layton vs Ace Attorney. They're gonna rock.

[LikeToGame80]

Nice video I want to get the rythem game for the wii. Are you going to get the wiiu

[StephsTooDef]

@LikeToGame80 I am planning on getting the WiiU....whenever that will be....I don't know.

[LPBlack1000]

Rhythm Heaven Fever!!!!!!

[StephsTooDef]

@LPBlack1000 YAY!!!! I'm glad other people are just as excited for this game.

[LiveToby]

gta5, thats about all.

[StephsTooDef]

@LiveToby That enough to keep anyone busy for a while.

[heardofrvb]

Well, there's Anarchy Reigns, that Persona 4 fighting game, and that's pretty much it.

[Darkmessiah24]

I have one too many to count so I'll make a video response to this sooner or later :P

[StephsTooDef]

@Darkmessiah24 Sweet. I'm looking forward to it.

[BurstRecords]

My anticipated games

-Devil Summoner 2(DS)

-Borderlands 2(Xbox 360)

-Mario Party 9(Wii)

-Rhythem Heaven(Wii)

-Tekken Tag Tournement 2(Xbox 360)

[StephsTooDef]

@BurstRecords Nice. I didn't realize Devil Summoner 2 was coming to the DS. I thought that was a 3DS release.

[BurstRecords]

@StephsTooDef -I meant to say Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor 2 not Devil Summoner I don't even know where the Summoner part came from. I think that is a game or something.

[StephsTooDef]

@BurstRecords Oh no worries. I knew what you were talking about.

[suiton629]

@StephsTooDef I am also wondering if Nintendo is going to redo the 3DS to incorporate the 3DS Slider Pad (the thing w/ the 2nd analog) into a new version of the 3DS. From what I've seen, that Slider Pad is a piece of plastic casing with a very small motherboard, and another analog. They can easily re-engineer the 3DS to have dual analogs. I mean look at the PS Vita... Sony did it, and with an AMOLED screen that displays HD quality games.

[StephsTooDef]

@suiton629 I don't think Nintendo is going to incorporate that 2nd circle pad attachment to a new generation of the 3DS. I think they'll probably just keep it as an accessory. If you ask me they should have put the actual 2nd circle pad on the handheld to begin with.

[suiton629]

@StephsTooDef I think they will. I've seen an article online where they tore down the slider pad and it's (as I mentioned) just a piece of plastic and rubber with a very very small motherboard suggesting that Nintendo sort of made the slider pad as an after thought or didn't have enough time to integrate it into the system and rushed it out. Also the lack of software at launch and features not ready also suggest to me they rushed the 3DS out the door.

[suiton629]

@StephsTooDef I can't wait for KH 3D Dream Drop Distance. I hope we get KH3 soon. RE Revelation seems cool. Uncharted Golden Abyss is a no brainer for me. =P I hope Suda 51 does a sequel to No More Heroes Heroes' Paradise for the PS3. Aside from that, I can't wait for like Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations, FF XIII-2, FF Versus XIII, FF Type Zero, Transformers Fall of Cybertron, Darksiders 2, Asura's Wrath, etc etc. I hope I can get all the games I want.

[StephsTooDef]

@suiton629 For some reason I'm excited to play through FF XIII-2 but I never made it anywhere close to finishing FF XIII. Weird. Same thing goes for Darksiders...but I plan on finishing that up ASAP .

[ThePokeMasterSilver]

KH3 will come out after Dream Drop Distance.

[StephsTooDef]

@ThePokeMasterSilver I hope it does. But realistically it will probably come out on Sony's next console. I don't see KH3 making its way to the PS3.

[ThePokeMasterSilver]

@StephsTooDef Yeah me either, especially since the xbox 720 is supposedly coming out this holiday season. Microsoft always does something hasty because out of all sales they do the worse and since the Wii U is coming out soon they'll be making there revival. And Kingdom Hearts games always take about 4 years to make anyways so the PS4 for definitely be out by then anyways. Maybe not that long, I think they have the whole story written out, they just need to start developing it.

[hangia]

damn, dope list Steph!

[StephsTooDef]

@hangia Thank you.

[bcheck123]

halo 4, me3, and skyrim will occupy the rest of my time this year

[StephsTooDef]

@bcheck123 Nice!

[CrazyConsoleGamerz]

gta 5

[StephsTooDef]

@CrazyConsoleGamerz GTA V is something I'll definitely pick up. I would love for them to give us more information on it though.

[alunarflowerlulluby]

Very good list!

[ralzgamer907]

love the list im excited for them to

[StephsTooDef]

@ralzgamer907 Great. Thank you.

[meg5493]

what console is tales of grace for?

[kratosgow2]

@meg5493 ps3

[StephsTooDef]

@meg5493 It's going to be available for the Playstation 3.

[meg5493]

@StephsTooDef any other consoles or is it just for ps3

[StephsTooDef]

@meg5493 Only for the PS3.

[fvgotch]

@StephsTooDef I agree I am definitely going to buy Tales game for PS3.

[ThePokeMasterSilver]

@meg5493 3DS and I didn't mean to vote your comment down

[3dsgamerapp]

im looking to get my hands on paper mario 3d it will be the first game in the series i play

[StephsTooDef]

@3dsgamerapp Paper Mario 3D will be awesome. That flat 2D like art style will surely look great in 3D.

[MeetingFlipper]

amazing list Steph, we share very many of the same games :D

[StephsTooDef]

@MeetingFlipper Awesome. There are so many games coming out this year. It was hard trying to narrow it down to just 10.

[AshXXMayftw]

The story of Dream Drop Distance is taking up into KH3

[StephsTooDef]

@AshXXMayftw I figured that...but I still haven't heard any confirmation on Kingdom Hearts 3.

[AshXXMayftw]

@StephsTooDef Personally I hope KH3 gets a port to the WiiU, I know it probably won't happen but it would be a smart choice. People that only own Nintendo systems won't be able to experience the end, such as myself. I mean we have DDD which leads into KH3 they should just put KH3 on the WiiU also so that people can finish the story.

[kmouton1456]

3rd and happy new year

[kmouton1456]
