I may be alone on this and that's fine, but I found myself in the dreaded gaming slump in 2017. It should have been great, and to most people it was great, to me however I haven't had one memorable gaming experience the entire year. The Switch glcame out and it was incredibly lacking apps and virtual console wise, as well as no revamped miiverse, no way to get online, no friend system whatsoever, ect. BOTW going multiplat left me with a bad taste in my mouth, especially after they neutered the Wii U version with no gamepad functionality which pretty much has me waiting for an emulated version to play well enough to me to go play it there. Splatoon 2 was Splatoon... Like no fixes to the gripes people had about the first was addressed in Splatoon 2. Mario Odyssey was great..... I guess, and Xenoblade 2 was a step back from X imho. 

I'm REALLY hoping 2018 turns it around though. We still haven't had an hd Metroid yet, and that's exciting. Bayo 3 is exciting being I loved Bayo 1/2, and Nintendo laying claim to that series is seriously great news. Fire Emblems coming out right? I like that series... I prefer the older series, but I like Fire Emblem. Pokémon.... Well honestly I don't care about Pokémon, but possibly Xenosaga HD! That would be good.... It's a decent series.

Did you try any Non nintendo games? Also dont see how BotW being on Wii u and Switch is a negative at ALL, would you prefer it only launched on a.dead console? Look how many ps4 games are ps3/ps4 cross games for ACIV to TLoUR to GTA5 to Skyrim all great games. I think you are just been negative for no reason. Maybe go for a run or something, try a new hobby.

Exact opposite for me. 2017 reinvigorated my interest in console games and Nintendo (after BotW). I also think Xenoblade 2 was way better than X. For instance, a competent story.

No gamepad functionality is a negative. And I do run. Often I might add. As for any no Nintendo games, sure. I played Rise of Tomb Raider, Dragon Ball Xeno verse 2, Persona 5... They were fine. I also enjoy working on cars, and just recently bought a Lexus RC F Sport. 

Glad you liked it. Here's hoping we both enjoy 2018.

If that Xenosaga HD happens, i'm 100% sure of it.

Hell yeah!

My apoligies then, maybe your like me and just find gaming a bit stale as we get older

Also how is the car? i just bought a nice Jaguar XF R sport , not quite as flash yours though

2017 was great, played more than 10 high quality games. 2018 already starting strong with Monster Hunter World, and soon Dynasty Warriors 9. After that I hope DQXI and KH3.

2017 games wise was pretty crap for me. Life wise 2017 was probably the worst year in my life when I lost my mother near the end of Jan to a heart attack.
