Oh man I don't know. Seems very unlikely the way this gen is going. A Link Between Worlds broke into the top 20 but I'd be shocked if something broke the top 10.

I guess I'll list the contenders in order of likelihood:

1) Breath of the Wild - Aonuma has done it again and again, and there are already four Zelda games in my top 20.

2) Super Mario next - after Zelda, Super Mario is the best and most consistent series.

3) The Last Guardian - Ico and SoTC are both in my top 50 so there's a decent chance here.

4) Freedom Planet 2 - the first game was surprisingly great; maybe the sequel will be even better.

5) Shakedown Hawaii - this sequel to Retro City Rampage could deliver the goods.

6) Monolith Soft's next game - Monolith made the only 7th gen game in my top 10.

7) Retro's next game - the studio has a perfect track record so far.

8) From Software's next game - since 2009 From has been knocking it out of the park.

9) Nioh - if Nioh can tap into what makes Demon's and Dark Souls special maybe we have something.

10) Mario Kart 9 - the 8th in the series was masterful so maybe the follow up can be too.
