I'm looking forward to the big Nintendo titles that are coming up. I still wish Star Fox had online but oh well. I never played it on the N64 so now I have a chance to play it. Pretty much everything they are putting out I'm looking forward to and see myself buying but on the 3rd party front I at first thought I had to wait after getting a few third party launch titles. I have Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars, Ridge Racer 3D, and Resident Evil: The Mercenaries. Recently I've found myself looking forward to titles I didn't expect. I had dismissed them at first but after taking the time to give them a fair look they seem pretty interesting.
First up is Driver: Renegade 3D. Video 1 It's hard for me to really know how good this might be. I haven't heard a lot of talk about it. Then again the same could be said for Driver: San Francisco as well. Doesn't seem like Ubisoft is pushing the series in general. The videos look okay. Graphics aren't OMG great but they look good for the most part given what is going on the screen. I want the game to end up being good. The scope of it looks impressive compared to what has been put out so far. Driver: San Francisco is looking pretty good as well. Might be picking up the PS3 version of that at the same time as Renegade.
James Noir's Hollywood Crimes Video 1 Video 2. I don't know much about this game other then it's a puzzle and mystery solving game. There are a few coming out the 3DS but after looking at Profs. Layton and the Doctor Lautrec game I think I want something less anime based. Not to say I don't enjoy anime as I do but just want something less of that style. Honestly though I've never played a Layton game and I kick myself for that but the 3DS version looks good and I am looking forward to that. Until then JN:HC seems like it could be design to appeal to a western gamer or one interested in puzzles from the start. Where that isn't the case with Layton I think.
Both are coming out in the next few months. Think I'll be taking a chance on them. Just hope I'm not disappointed. The lack of Wii games in North America outside of Zelda: Skyward Sword having any significance for me has turned out to be a good thing. Money can be spent on 3DS games and a select few PC games. Decided not to import Xenoblade and moved that money over to (Deus Ex: Human Revolution on the PC. :)
So does anyone else have any games that you weren't expecting to like but ended up liking and are now looking forward to them? On the Wii, 3DS, DS or maybe even another system?
