I think the Rhythm Heaven director losing his vocals from cancer treatment is a big reason why there hasn't been another game in a while. He did a lot of the vocals himself.
My most anticipated games are Dragon Quest 1+2 HD-2D Remake, Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition, and Metroid Prime 4 Beyond. And of course the Switch 2 and whatever new games/ports that will bring along.
My most anticipated games: - Avowed - Slay the Spire 2 - Expedition 33 - Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster - Fable - Metroid Prime 4 - Civilization 7 - The Outer Worlds 2 - Hades 2 (full release) - Doom The Dark Ages And hopefully, an Octopath Traveler 3 announcement! Obviously, this doesn't include Switch 2 games, but I'm sure there will be a ton that I'll be hyped for.
Layton is actually on the Switch already- Katrielle & the Millionaires’ Conspiracy got a slick remaster in 2019, but very few have played it (I really enjoy that one). Still, it’ll be great to see LEVEL-5 capitalize on how smooth Katrielle was adapted to a single-screen on Switch, and apply those systems to a brand new game for the Professor.
XCX is on the top of my list, but I also think we don’t know even half of Nintendo’s lineup for the Switch 2. Exciting to go into a year knowing that we will be getting a new console with new games we don’t even know about
Will you guys have a proper goty 2024 discussion where you ACTUALLY talk about your goty? Edit: Also bummer that the rest of the crew couldn't make it for this important annual discussion, but it is what it is. Always here for your content no matter what
@@RUclipsChannel-iq5to you sound like someone who is specs over games. That’s nice for you but please try not to ruin it for the rest of us who actually like video games
@@Steve6cupcakes He's right tho. Can't have good games without good tech to play em on. No amount of gameplay innovation or good ideas or gimmicks makes up for bad framefrate and low resolution. They are called VIDEO game. you need BOTH.
@@tical2399 games have been great on the Switch and and they’ve been great on the PS4. If what we get is a PS4 power device with newer tech then it will be capable of delivering great games. Nothing about the current generation has delivered better gameplay as a result of more power. Everything will be just fine.
So far my most anticipated games are Trails in the Sky 1st remake, Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza, Mariachi Legends and finally after waiting as much as Metroid Prime 4, Lost Soul Aside.
Unwound Future is by far the best of the Layton games so far. The rest are good, but the puzzles, pacing, and that emotional gut punch at the end REALLY come together into one amazing package.
I am just so excited for Metroid Prime 4. I beat Metroid Prime Remastered last year and it was probably one of the most immersive games I’ve played. I have Metroid Prime 2 & 3, but I’m still waiting to play it on Switch. If we get a release date for Metroid Prime 4 with no mention of remasters/ports of either games then I’ll just play the originals. I just don’t see myself playing it too much if it’s not on switch though.
I'm not optimistic about a new Mega Man game but we still have a collection or two left with Legends and Starforce. If we don't get Legends 3 I can see Capcom doing a 3D/Miscellaneous collection with both Legends games, Command Mission, Network Transmission and Mega Man Kart
As someone who does prefer 2016 over Eternal, it basically it comes down to tone and presentation. DOOM 2016 is paying homage to the originals but it still manages to craft a unique tone that blends sci-fi with horror. Eternal is an example of them "maxing" that and the result is a little too corny for my tastes. Getting more into specifics, the HUD sucks, the tutorials are overbearing and the hookshot gameplay, while fun, does dramatically change the flow and feel of combat. Oh, and the music is a huge downgrade for reasons that should be obvious if you're clued into the Mick Gordon controversy. It's not a bad game by any means, but 2016 just feels more cohesive and refined to me.
@@escargoat8552As someone who largely enjoys both, Eternal is just a lot more fun to me. The environments in 2016 feel very samey and drab as they just get dull after a while, whereas Eternal has a lot more variety in terms of its own locations and encourages exploration as well. In addition, it feels more arcade-y than 2016, which was more or less a linear shooter, due to all the different upgrades and mechanics it introduces, along with it incentivizing you to use additional weapons more due to the changes in how ammo works. It might have a less coherent story and be more over-the-top, but when has Doom ever made sense in the past or taken itself seriously outside of Doom 3? Again though, both are great, but I think Doom Eternal is an overall better Doom game despite both having their merits.
Eternal is so much more fun to play. The music, yeah, 2016 was better, but other than that, I think eternal is just better overall, especially in the gameplay department.
Pretty sure Expedition 33 was announced at Xbox Games Showcase, but yeah, that game looks awesome! I'll try it first on PC Game Pass, then buy it if I enjoy it.
For me in this order, I'm excited for: - Monster Hunter Wilds - Doom The Dark Ages - Metroid Prime 4 Beyond Sort of an honorable mention: - Mina The Hollower. This is one that I was really excited for last year and the year before but it's been so long since we've heard anything that my hype for it has simmered. 😢
Just from what we know so far, yeah, my list is pretty healthy already: Tales of Graces f, Atelier Yumia, Xenoblade X, Layton, Metroid Prime Beyond, Shantae Risky's Revolution, Pokemon Z-A, Dragon Quest 1&2
I am very excited for some new games for the new system, but funny enough, im very excited to try out some current games on the new system. I have never played a xenoblade game before, except for X on the wii u. I decided to put xenoblade 2 and 3 in particular aside, precisely to see if these games would get ported or upscaled. Now that backward compatibility is confirmed, im greatly excited to try a ton of games i have not tried on the current switch. My library is definitely going to get a lot bigger
This year is looking crazy for games! Some that I'm most looking forward to are Ghost of Yotei, Metroid Prime 4, GTA 6, MGS Delta Snake Eater, Marvel 1943, Pokemon Legends Z-A, Judas and maybe Jet Set Radio if it releases in time for the 25th anniversary, and that's not even counting unannounced games like the likely 3D Mario
My most anticipated game for 2025 is one that may not be released outside Japan until 2026... *The Legend of Heroes: Trails (insert whichever translation used - into Orbit? of Time?) - Farewell o Zemuria. This subseries of "The Legend of Heroes" franchise has been ongoing for now _over 20-years._ I can hardly wait to see how the story ends...only for it leave on a cliffhanger that segues into a new The Legend of Heroes series...
I like the idea of it being called "Trails through Boundaries". I think it's fitting given the current situation of being bound to Zemuria as described in CS4. Also I'm not sure we'll get the "Farewell O Zemuria" subtitle as they've always dropped those in the localizations. I do really hope it comes in 2025 though. I know they've been catching up since releasing the Crossbell duology, but a part of me is worried it may be early 2026.
21:50 The reason RIVAL SCHOOLS isn't on the CAPCOM FIGHTING COLLECTION 2 is the same reason the original Star Gladiator isn't on it. Something to do with the PS1 emulation. Plasma Sword is a PS1 game but the version on the upcoming collection is based on the Dreamcast version. Basically, Capcom is keeping this collection pure Naomi board. Street Fighter Alpha 3 (and 3 Upper) also ran on Naomi, not CPS2.
pokemon z-a, luigi’s mansion 4, new mario kart & mario 3D, silent hill f, maybe a new IP from monolith soft, kingdom hearts 4, dragon quest 12, Xenoblade X… and hopefully news on the next big zelda game
Why is everyone convinced prime 4 is a graphic showcase? Lol it looks great don't get me wrong, but it looks EXACTLY like prime remastered, and we know its going too lol
I didn’t think MP4’s footage looked especially amazing but remember that Prime 1 Remastered was lauded for it’s visuals and fidelity. Prime 4 looks good for a Switch 1 game but if it’s Switch 2 footage then it ain’t anything special. (It’s def a Switch 1 game)
I think the Switch 2 version will blow us away while the regular version will hopefully be a very stable 60fps with good visual fidelity like the remake. There were accounts of people seeing a Halo looking game running on Switch successor hardware that looked incredible. Metroid has always pushed graphics (artistic design and technical).
the five games im so excited for that have been confirmed so far are clair obscur, death stranding 2, deltarune, metroid prime 4, and the new perfect dark!
Saving Chrono Trigger, Silksong & Half-Life 3 for the end was smart. I do think all three of these will happen in our lifetime, and maybe we’ll get a glimpse at all three in the next year. It’s not impossible.
It's baffling to feel so excited about Rhythm heaven mini-games in Necrodancer which from what i hear are a very small part of the game, considering there are already multiple RH type indie games available (including on Switch) and more are coming in 2025.
It’s interesting how there’s so many games coming but, I genuinely don’t think we’ll see release dates for many of these until GTA 6 gets a release date. Which is a bummer if some go as far as pushing to 2026 but I can honestly understand it if they’re worried about coming out too close to it. I wouldn’t take the chance of releasing even in the same month if I could help it (obviously if GTA is actually a good game and sells beyond the initial rush lol)
For Xenoblade Chronicles X, they only said additional story / or extra story so it's not 100% decided that it will be a conclusion to that ending, though it probably dive a little deeper into it. I wouldn't be surprised if it ended with more mysteries left (which may get explained in a sequel or a different Xeno game.)
I sat down and thought about my most anticipated 2025 games and I came up with the following: 1. Monster Hunter Wilds 2. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC 3. Doom The Dark Ages 4. Crimson Desert 5. Phantom Blade Zero 6. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 7. Eternal Strands 8. Wuchang Fallen Feathers 9. Metal Gear Solid Delta 10. Constance And like you guys I'm fully expecting GTA6 to miss 2025. Rockstar's big games typically get 2 delays. Remember what happened to RDR2? It got delayed into 2018 from the 2015/6 announcement. Personally, I'd love to see a Visions of Mana style remake for Chrono Trigger using the visuals seen in DQ11 and Sand Land. Modern rendering graphics are able to recreate Toriyama's character, monster, mechanical, and archtitectural design in 3D faithfully.
For me, Civilization VII is both at the top and earliest in the year, but there's also Xenoblade X, Metroid Prime 4 and Pokemon Z-A. I'm also kinda thinking about GTA VI. And there's the obvious Switch successor and all of its hypothetical games.
Metroid Prime 4, Tales of Graces f Remastered (not sure if that counts since it's so soon), whatever they end up localizing Kai no Kiseki as (my hope is "Trails through Boundaries"), and hopefully a new 3D Mario.
Regarding hollow knight, seems tons of people dont know, the first one atleast were developed by 3 people, i bet its similar for the sequel unless they expanded alot. So its not strange it will take more time than people expect.
There are a lot of games im excited for this year but my top 5 are: 1. Metroid Prime 4 Beyond 2. Fantasy Life i 3. Monster Hunter Wilds 4. Ender Magnolia 5. Doom: the Dark Ages
Tbf as great as Legends Arceus was, it’s a new gameplay style for Pokémon games where all you really do is run around catching Pokémon while fighting the occasional boss, whereas Scarlet/Violet is a more tranditional Pokémon game but in an open-world setting with three different storylines you can do in any order. And so I could see why one would gell with someone and not the other.
@@amirgarcia547 I think that's what made it magical. It changed things up and it worked. The open world in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet wasn't good and was unneeded. The three different stories can be played in any order but there's definitely an order players should do. I'm tired of people wanting games out of order because suddenly developers don't know how to tell a story when that happens.
Dunno if Wolverine is releasing in 2025, but we can only hope. If the leaks are true, we’ll be getting a Venom spin-off game this year while Wolverine won’t be until 2026.
More so curious if we will get any new Mario or Mega Man, and even if that means another legacy collection, hopefully a new numbered game, especially a new X game. I’ve come to the point where I only buy Switch exclusives and everything else on PS5
I wouldn’t be surprised if we get more Mario, given that 2025 is the 40th anniversary of the NES Super Mario Bros. game. With Switch 2 at least being revealed within 3 months, I definitely see them releasing a new Mario game alongside the new console.
@ my genuine thought was that they’d release the Switch successor on March 10 alongside a brand new Mario. I know that’s too logical and predictable for Nintendo.
2025 IS the year we finally get video games! 😂 So far the only games I want to play in 2025 are Pokemon Legends Z-A and Death Stranding 2! I'm considering getting into Monster Hunter Wilds to join some pals for a good time.
What I want more than Chrono Trigger HD 2D is Xenogears remake. Mainly because I'm selfish and I already played Chrono Trigger but never played Xenogears. A game I want that hasn't been announced is a new Monolith Soft game. I don't know how likely that is with Xenoblade X definitive edition coming out next (no, this) year, but I want to see what they are cooking.
Might be in the minority here, but I don't want HD-2D for Chrono Trigger. I'd much prefer 3D like the Trails in the Sky Remake or even Dragon Ball Fighterz/Sparking Zero. HD-2D is very pretty, yes, but IMO, it's mostly just seeing the same old sprites in the context of a lighting engine. If you're gonna make 3D models of the environments, go all out. Make that Toriyama art style really pop on a scale that Chrono Trigger truly deserves.
Before I discovered emulation I spent 260 on Suikoden 2 just to play it then I sold it on eBay for 250, wish I kept it but at that time that was a good portion of rent for me
Sad thing about the new Lunar games someone who worked on the original wanted to do a redub with the old voice cast and they would have done it but they decided to under pay the old voice cast. I hate underpaying acts in the voice acting industry they all deserve respect.
My 2025 top 5 1. Metroid Prime 4 2. Xenoblade Chronicles X-Definitive Edition 3. GTA6* 4. Clair Obscur Expedition 33 5. Suikoden 1&2 *I never beat GTAV so I’m not as excited…I always end up doing something stoopid and running from the cops epically instead of actually doing the story smh😌

Metroid Prime 4, Legends Z-A, Deltarune Chapter 3-4, DOOM Dark Ages and of course the Switch 2 are my most anticipated releases for 2025
New 3D Mario 🙏
I think the Rhythm Heaven director losing his vocals from cancer treatment is a big reason why there hasn't been another game in a while. He did a lot of the vocals himself.
He’s still working on projects, he can still direct a game.
@bobalinx8762 I know he is
Oh really that sucks I had no idea
Except hardly any of the vocal songs in Rhythm Heaven use his vocals, so this is a totally moot point.
@@escargoat8552 He still had to battle cancer for most of the Switch 1’s life.

I really want a new Star Fox. A good one in year 1 of a new console would do wonders for it.
Star Fox has been neglected for years. It's time for its return (a full new game, not the sticker book). 🦊
You’re telling me that Doom Eternal, CAME OUT 5 YEARs AGO??!!!??????
Somebody has to call Dialga because something is wrong with time

- Slay the Spire 2
- Expedition 33
- Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster
- Fable
- Metroid Prime 4
- Civilization 7
- The Outer Worlds 2
- Hades 2 (full release)
- Doom The Dark Ages
And hopefully, an Octopath Traveler 3 announcement! Obviously, this doesn't include Switch 2 games, but I'm sure there will be a ton that I'll be hyped for.

I still don't understand why people say DOOM 2016 is better than Eternal.
Agreed, Eternal is more like classic and those are the best ones
As someone who does prefer 2016 over Eternal, it basically it comes down to tone and presentation. DOOM 2016 is paying homage to the originals but it still manages to craft a unique tone that blends sci-fi with horror. Eternal is an example of them "maxing" that and the result is a little too corny for my tastes. Getting more into specifics, the HUD sucks, the tutorials are overbearing and the hookshot gameplay, while fun, does dramatically change the flow and feel of combat. Oh, and the music is a huge downgrade for reasons that should be obvious if you're clued into the Mick Gordon controversy.
It's not a bad game by any means, but 2016 just feels more cohesive and refined to me.
@@escargoat8552As someone who largely enjoys both, Eternal is just a lot more fun to me.

My most anticipated games of next year are currently the Xenoblade Chronicles X DE and Metroid Prime 4
My unlikely wishes: Octopath 3, Death's Door 2, Mario+Rabbids 3, and a new Igavania.
I would love an hd 2d remake of Chrono Trigger. I have found myself not getting too deep into it because I don’t know what’s the definitive version.
No Blade Chimera? 😔 That list is great though, gonna be a good year already and that’s without the unknown surprises.

Snake is in Smash, so there is a chance.
It wont come to switch but Monster Hunter Wilds is easily my most anticipated game of 2025 easily
I've been waiting for the Suikoden game. Put it on my steam deck RIGHT NOW.
For me, Civilization VII is both at the top and earliest in the year, but there's also Xenoblade X, Metroid Prime 4 and Pokemon Z-A. I'm also kinda thinking about GTA VI.
And there's the obvious Switch successor and all of its hypothetical games.
It would be nice to get an update on Dragon Quest 12.🤔🐉🗡️🛡️🏹
Metroid Prime 4, Tales of Graces f Remastered (not sure if that counts since it's so soon), whatever they end up localizing Kai no Kiseki as (my hope is "Trails through Boundaries"), and hopefully a new 3D Mario.

Monster Hunter Wilds gang gang!❤
Regarding hollow knight, seems tons of people dont know, the first one atleast were developed by 3 people, i bet its similar for the sequel unless they expanded alot. So its not strange it will take more time than people expect.

2. Fantasy Life i

4. Ender Magnolia
5. Doom: the Dark Ages
Mina The Hollower, Tails of Iron 2 and HelloKitty Adventure Island would be my early 2025 picks.
Dude, you've got to believe! Mega Man 2025! It could happen!
Bamco and Project Aces is also planning something to celebrate the Ace Combat 30th Anniversary in 2025. What that is, we don't know.
For me:
- Tales of Graces f Remastered
- Sniper Elite Resistance
- Atelier Yumia
- Expedition 33
- Trials in the Sky 1st Chapter
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHY ARE THERE SO MANY GAMES COMING OUT MY BACKLOG IS ALREADY SO BIIIIIIIG
We must be due a Mega Man Legends compilation at least sometime...
Portal 3 and Silksong are my “pie in the sky” picks. It’s time for both!
they will be released 1 month after Half Life X Earthbound
If Half-Life 3 finally happens, Portal 3 becomes very plausible.
Finishing Scarlet and Violet but not Arceus is crazy and this is coming from a big fan of Pokemon
Tbf as great as Legends Arceus was, it’s a new gameplay style for Pokémon games where all you really do is run around catching Pokémon while fighting the occasional boss, whereas Scarlet/Violet is a more tranditional Pokémon game but in an open-world setting with three different storylines you can do in any order. And so I could see why one would gell with someone and not the other.
@@amirgarcia547 I think that's what made it magical. It changed things up and it worked. The open world in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet wasn't good and was unneeded. The three different stories can be played in any order but there's definitely an order players should do. I'm tired of people wanting games out of order because suddenly developers don't know how to tell a story when that happens.
Hades 2 full release, MGS Delta, Slay the Spire 2, Wolverine
Dunno if Wolverine is releasing in 2025, but we can only hope. If the leaks are true, we’ll be getting a Venom spin-off game this year while Wolverine won’t be until 2026.
We’re gonna see Dragon Quest 12 this year. This isn’t copium, I promise.
Twitter links in description I thought we were bluesky gamers now
Great new games for 2025!
Bleach Rebirth souls
Fatal Fury City of the Wolves
Capcom Fighting Collection 2
Ninja Gaiden Ragebound
More so curious if we will get any new Mario or Mega Man, and even if that means another legacy collection, hopefully a new numbered game, especially a new X game. I’ve come to the point where I only buy Switch exclusives and everything else on PS5
I wouldn’t be surprised if we get more Mario, given that 2025 is the 40th anniversary of the NES Super Mario Bros. game. With Switch 2 at least being revealed within 3 months, I definitely see them releasing a new Mario game alongside the new console.
@ my genuine thought was that they’d release the Switch successor on March 10 alongside a brand new Mario. I know that’s too logical and predictable for Nintendo.
2025 IS the year we finally get video games! 😂
So far the only games I want to play in 2025 are Pokemon Legends Z-A and Death Stranding 2! I'm considering getting into Monster Hunter Wilds to join some pals for a good time.
......2023?
Chrono Trigger HD 2D? This one they'll follow the FF7 remake route. For certain.
Any news about "Little Devil Inside?"
I want NES REMIX
What I want more than Chrono Trigger HD 2D is Xenogears remake. Mainly because I'm selfish and I already played Chrono Trigger but never played Xenogears. A game I want that hasn't been announced is a new Monolith Soft game. I don't know how likely that is with Xenoblade X definitive edition coming out next (no, this) year, but I want to see what they are cooking.
Might be in the minority here, but I don't want HD-2D for Chrono Trigger. I'd much prefer 3D like the Trails in the Sky Remake or even Dragon Ball Fighterz/Sparking Zero. HD-2D is very pretty, yes, but IMO, it's mostly just seeing the same old sprites in the context of a lighting engine. If you're gonna make 3D models of the environments, go all out. Make that Toriyama art style really pop on a scale that Chrono Trigger truly deserves.
Is 2025 the year of Hollow Knight: Silksong?
Before I discovered emulation I spent 260 on Suikoden 2 just to play it then I sold it on eBay for 250, wish I kept it but at that time that was a good portion of rent for me
GVG finally mentioning Timesplitters 👏🏻👏🏻
They mentioned it a few times during the TNT era. They showed a lot of love for the series and they were hoping for TS4 to happen.
I didn’t hear anything when the games dropped on PSN. It was huge
Sad thing about the new Lunar games someone who worked on the original wanted to do a redub with the old voice cast and they would have done it but they decided to under pay the old voice cast. I hate underpaying acts in the voice acting industry they all deserve respect.
These first 3 months are packed.
Monster Hunter Wilds
Eternal Strands
The First Berserker Khazan
Assassin's Creed Shadows
Killing Floor 3
I'm mostly excited for Avowed
I will get prime 4, but I’m not too excited about it. I’m excited about any games. Am I old? 😂
Don't give me false hope on a Chrono Trigger HD-2D 😭
I'd like to see a Treasure of the Rudras and Treasure Hunter G HD-2D remake.
New Year 🎉🎉😎🌌😎
I wish we could get a Parasite Eve remaster. I really wanna play it again.
Same, it’s crazy how Squenix has just been sitting on that IP for decades, especially with the recent success of Resident Evil and its own remakes.
My 2025 top 5
1. Metroid Prime 4
2. Xenoblade Chronicles X-Definitive Edition
3. GTA6*
4. Clair Obscur Expedition 33
5. Suikoden 1&2
*I never beat GTAV so I’m not as excited…I always end up doing something stoopid and running from the cops epically instead of actually doing the story smh😌
Prayage Conker comes to Switch....
I can't wait for Capcom Fighting Collection 2
I hope Xenoblade X gets some kind of upgrade on Switch 2.
Half life 3 has a lot of buzz.
We don't know exactly what, but Massahiro Sakurai is directing a game.
If it’s not the new Smash, then I sincerely hope it’s the next Kid Icarus game due to how goated Uprising was.
My "impossible" game wish - Mother 3 HD-2D Remake.
Any kind of new Mother game would definitely be an impossible tier, whether it be a remake or not.
I just want news on Pragmata.
I wish Jon never left nintendolife
My Top3 are (no particular order):
Deltarune Chapter 3-4
Mina the Hollower
Pokemon Legends ZA
You should try Monster Hunter Stories if you don't like Monster Hunter.
I'm looking forward to Xenoblade Chronicles X
jet set radio!
No release date yet. Speculation that it’s a 2026 title but it’s still too soon to tell 😢
Don't overlook Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter
