Might be the year to get a WiiU, eh? Or even a PS4? We'll see.
I'm certain I'll have missed something, and I'm sure there's things that I don't even know about which are on this list. Perhaps I'll fiddle with it if I think of anything else. The order is roughly approximate to my level of excitement/interest, but somewhat arbitrary nevertheless.

If you haven't tried Dark Souls (and I mean given it at least a few hours of your time), then you really should. It won't click with everyone, but few games are as mechanically satisfying as this. And don't worry; it isn't actually as hard as people like to make out.
The last Smash Bros was the game where I really "got" it. My friend taught the rest of our uni house how to actually play (rather than smashing the buttons arbitrarily and not even knowing what a "smash attack" was or how to do one), and things went from just casual fun to serious competition over the course of two years. Not that it ever stopped being casual fun though.
Lumping this and Phantom Pain in together, not even sure whether the latter will make it out this year or not. But I have to know what comes next. Also worth noting that I will probably never tire of pointless, rambling CODEC conversations or lengthy, drawn-out enemy pre-fight monologues.
The first "major" update since Super, my 2010 Game of the Year.
The first Bayonetta remains one of my favourite Character Action Games of all time, thanks to its blend of incredibly satisfying combat, wonderful art and sound design, and sheer madness. The sequel looks to be living up to that standard pretty well so far, to the extent I'd seriously consider buying a WiiU just for this were I not already sold for SSB.
I will probably never tire completely of playing The Sims, and a refresh of the game's core mechanics is just what I need to pull me back deep into those virtual people's bizarre/ordinary worlds.
I'm as excited for the fact that this is a second massive content expansion for Isaac (given the incredible extra lifespan that Wrath of the Lamb added) as I am for the redesign and new soundtrack.
Just give me more Hotline Miami and we're cool. The original is so tight and satisfying that simply bringing new levels and masks would easily be enough to get me in from day one.
Yo, Geralt had that beard. Also this is lining to be the vast world simply drenched in lore that I've come to expect from CD Projekt Red.
Jonathan Blow spits good game. He also makes good games. What's been shown of this is really vague but it looks gorgeous and I'm super interested to finally see what it is.
