Alright here's my run down. It's time to let go of the past and look
forward to the future. You never know how it'll go down. This thread is like the opposite of nostalgia, instead longing for a better future. Anyways,
1. Tears of the Kingdom

"It'll reuse the same map! It's going to be boring!" Lol, don't care+ratio+L
. By reusing the same map I can only imagine all the new things they can add to take BotW from tech demo status to a work of art status. Even though I already felt like BotW was a work of art. This is my most anticipated game as most Zeldas are. It's the type of series where I stop everything I'm doing and play it as much as possible when a new one comes. These games feel like a part of the "pillars of awesome games" like Elden ring or SotC. Also, I hope this game continues to make journos SEETHE.
2. Metroid Prime 4

Metroid dread was awesome but I can't wait for a whole new 3D Metroid game as I think it'll really blow my mind. This will be another defining game for me.
3. TES 6

I know Bethesda has gone through some periods of misses and disappointments, but I have full confidence that TES 6 will be incredible. Much like Zelda, TES is game series that Bethesda really likes to take as much care and time on. My only hope is that they bring back more in-depth RPG mechanics like from Morrowind.
4. Pikmin 4

Now I haven't played a Pikmin game before but I absolutely want to and I think I'll go with 4 as my first. The games look magical to me.
5. Starfield

The prospect of a Bethesda RPG in a new world and IP is pretty exciting to me. I hope this game can be a new peak for Xbox because I think they really need one right now....
Now, these are the main games I'm excited about but here are some other ones that are kinda general.
-Any indies that are alternatives to games I like
-3D indie games
-Rumored new 2D Mario game. (PLEASE HAVE AN ARTSTYLE LIKE THE ONE ON THE MARIO WORLD COVER!! I'M DYING FOR A MARIO GAME LIKE THAT!!!)
-new Mario RPG if that ever gets confirmed
-Potential competition between Switch and Steamdeck ushering in a golden age for hybrid gaming.
-Any new Valve games
-Astral chain 2
Bros I get the frustrations with modern games I really do. But it's ok to let go of the cynicism and look
forward to the future. It's scary I know but I think it's more sad to only be stuck in the past, not giving anything new a shot. The future is yet to be written and I think games are only getting started. Just give the future a
chance. Past failure is no guarantee for a bad future as long as that awareness is there.
