My brother got REVII, but other than that I've made a vow to not buy games week 1, and to wait until there's a discount before getting a game.



Around the Network

Already got:

Halo Wars 2 (well kind of - offered to review for a site I write for and was given a review copy)
Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch)
Fast RMX (Switch)

Future releases for the rest of 2017: 

Sea of Thieves (XB One) (was a huge fan of Rare's games back in the day so I really want to give them one last chance, and I think this could be the game to put them back on the map)
South Park: The Fractured But Whole (XB One)
Binding of Isaac (Switch)
Has Been Heroes (Switch)
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Switch)
Skyrim (Switch)
Splatoon 2 (Switch)
Mario Odyssey (Switch) 
Xenoblade 2 (Switch)

So far I haven't bought any games week 1 this year, and I doubt I will. Breath of the Wild would have been week 1 if it didn't release on a new console.



Nier Automata Limited Edition - I preoreder this Friday, shall be home next week Thursday-Wednesday
Persona 5, maybe RDR2
I will buy Horizon and Nioh later, simply not enough cash right now.



Thimbleweed Park (already kickstarted/pre-ordered, out in three weeks!)
Zelda (Switch, already bought)
Nier Automata (PC, already pre-ordered)
Super Mario Odyssey
Lego City Undercover (Switch) => I'm not kidding
Ni no Kuni 2 (PC, provided it will be ported this year)
Mario Kart Deluxe
Xenoblade 2 (provided it will be released this year)
Yooka-Laylee (Switch)
Stardew Valley (Switch)

I would buy RDR2 week one as well if I had a system for it.



Around the Network

Crash Bandicoot
Wipeout Omega Collection
Yooka-Laylee
Stardew Valley (physical launch)



My list of certain week 1 games:

My list of possible, although unlikely week 1 games:

  • Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy
  • Red Dead Redemption 2


Most likely none, unless some game I want happens to come out around the time I'm getting games for christmas. I will eventually be getting Nioh, Nier:Automata, Horizon: Zero Dawn and Ni No Kuni 2 at the very least, but I'm in no rush to get them right now.



Day 1 purchase:
- RE7
- Horizon
- Zelda BotW
- Super Mario Odyssey

Week 1:
- GT Sport
- Star Trek Bridge Crew
- Farpoint

Maybe week 1 purchase:
- Ni No Kuni 2
- Detroit become human

I want to get back to VR after Zelda and Horizon and not sure I want to play any more open world games this year after finishing those two.

Are you serious...Wipeoutcollection, nice one. Will Wipeout HD be in that collection. Miss those kind of racers and Trackmania didn't satisfy the itch. When will it release

Include Wipeout HD + Fury and Wipeout 2048.

It's supposed to be coming Summer 2017.
