My three most anticipated gaming experiences this year:

-Hyrule Warriors Legends

-Hyrule Warriors Legends character DLC in Hyrule Warriors

-Hyrule Warriors Legends “My Fairy” mode

That about sums up my ambivalent feelings on the prospective retail releases for the year, as well as my deep fondness for this particular game.

I am waiting on some Kickstarter games though that may or may not arrive this year but are exciting either way: Yooka Laylee, Shantae ½ Genie Hero, Lobodestroyo, and Bloodstained. Mighty No. 9 will hopefully not be too disappointing.

I may end up trying Star Fox Zero because I love Star Fox, but I fully expect disappointment there. Every new reveal about that game just contributes more bitterness. But hey, at least I don’t have to feel bitter about new Smash Bros reveals, that farce is done and gone.

In terms of older catch-up games, I’m excited to try some of my DS backlog like the Tingle games, Dragonball Z: Attack of the Saiyans, and Game Center CX. I’m also considering playing the BC Kid/Bonk/PC Genjin games but don’t expect them to live up to my nostalgia for Super BC Kid.
