Why not make a list to remind me of games I should probably check out! I'm not exactly counting on most of these games releasing next year, but they are something to look forward to. Here they are!

The first Hitman are among the best Stealth games I've played since Blood Money and Thief 2. I cannot wait to dig into Hitman 2, and hopefully IO has improved upon the winning formula of the last game.
Shin Megami Tensei IV was not all that fun to me, I'll get to back to it whenever I finish Nocturne. Having said that, my newfound fondness for Nocturne has made me incredibly excited for a new console Shin Megami Tensei game for the first time in 14 years since the third game's release on PS2. Bring it on, Atlus!
The Yakuza games are great, so imagine my surprise when I hear Sega announcing a Yakuze-esque title in vein of Fist of the North Star anime license. It's Mad Max but Japan, and it features various voice actors from the Yakuza series as well as a similar combat system and open world. Just hook it into my veins!
It's Bayonetta, what more do I need to add? I can't frickin' wait!
Valkyria Revolution was a pile of flaming garbage, don't ruin a good thing Sega! Valkyria Chronicles 4 seems to be bringing war to the Cold Front. I'm excited by that prospect alone, along with getting a new proper Valkyria Chronicles game.
Being a bit lukewarm on SMTIV has caused me to be wary when it comes to the latest SMT games. Strange Journey is a game that has always intrigued me, and the enhanced port might be my que to try it out. Despite the lack of Kaneko's artstyle, I hope still hope for the best with this game. A sci-fi premise in a SMT game is just too interesting to pass up!
Catherine was one of my favorite surprise titles from Atlus back when it released in 2011. It was in some ways my introduction to Atlus. The promise of new content, new characters, improved gameplay and online multiplayer is enough to sway me to rebuy this amazing little gem.
Katsura Hashino, the man responsible for directing Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne, Catherine, and all 3 modern Persona games. Hashino is the man at Atlus who delivers in quality, and I can't to see what he's got in store for the fantasy genre. If he can do something unique with fantasy, like he's done with Persona and Catherine then I'm all aboard.
No More Heroes is an excellent franchise, the action and gameplay is fun, the artstyle is stylish and cool and the music is excellent. Another adventure with Travis would be a thrill.
So we haven't heard anything about this particular Fire Emblem, but if it keeps the elements I liked about Awakening and Fates (like the customization) and of course the usual emphasis on strategy. Well, I'm all in!
