Secret of Mana Remake, Attack on Titan 2, Yakuza 6 - The song of life, arnt far from it either.

Great idea/thread. The January is incredible!
the japanese Masterpiece Ni No Kuni 2 is DAY 1 for me. Thats sure! =)

Dragonball Fighters Z is the best DBZ-game in future, it looks fantastic. I buy it with the new Digimon-Rpg for PS4. Monster Hunter World will also make many people happy.

And Yakuza 6 with the new graphic-engine is bought 100% in March :) The final will be epic. More & more games are announced : D The first 2018 quarter will be a dream for every player. Lets see.. which further games are announced at the big PlayStation Experience-Event in December for the first 2018-quarter. Its so exciting :)

Monster Hunter World for me. The last one I played around with was on the PSP Go. Lol. I laugh at myself.

I will be getting Lost Sphear and Ni no Kuni 2. Honestly, i'm afraid of buying anything else because they might release on Switch later too. What a predicament.

There are at least 4 games I want from that list.

after "I am Setsuna", I dont have faith in how good Lost Sphear will be.

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory  & Monster Hunter : World,  both look much more appealing.

Why do you keep calling it a Masterpiece if you haven't played it yet I can understand saying "it will be" or "might be" a masterpiece, but it already is one?

Anyways, the first month is incredible! Honestly .. I might have to retract my statement that 2017 is the best year in gaming, if Western developers keep up with the Japanese ones next year!!

Haha. I know the feeling, though I really only want Dissidia and to a lesser extent Gintama from there =D

Pretty typical for Japan, Holidays for Japan imo is mid/end of december through March. Stark difference to US with start of November to New Years Day, but much bigger of course.
