Upcoming games in 2017

I made an article like this, but that was nearly two years ago, in this blog's golden age of 2015. I thought it was high time then to make a new list for games I'm personally excited about. Also, almost everything on that old list was either disappointing or hasn't come out yet. Looking back, everything there is super ironic. I really hope that doesn't happen with this list.

PS Vita (Though all of these are on PS4 as well :/)

YS VIII

YS: Memories of Celceta was cool game, and this one looks like it will be good too. It also looks pretty great for a vita game.

Danganronpa V3

Ultra despair Girls was flawed and 3 (the anime) was mediocre, but this looks to be a total return to form. If this is anywhere near as good as 2 I will be a happy camper.

Tokyo Xanadu

2nd Falcom game on this list, and that ain't just a coincidence. I'm playing Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel right now and it is FANTASTIC. I have high hopes for this one too.

3DS-

Fire Emblem Echoes

FE fates was... odd, but not bad, but really I don't think this game will be really similar to it. It is a remake of Fire Emblem Gaiden on the Famicom (It returns on this blog!), and I'm excited to play through that story for the first time.

Ever Oasis

Ever Oasis might not be great, but it at least LOOKS interesting, and it's a 2017 3DS game, so it makes the list.

Wii U-

The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild https://www.forbes.com/

 This was on the LAST list, and it makes its way here as well. I have some concerns, but it does look interesting.

I'm sure there will be more interesting stuff announced later on, but for now this is just about it. Well this and Mother 3, but... it was on the last list too. Also, stuff like Horizon: Zero Dawn is already out (I think?) so I can't put it on here. To be fair I'm most interested in picking up some 2016 games for cheap soon.

Some Questions

*AHEM* Research has been done, and the result is: blog ads are worthless for me. Even if someone clicked on an ad everyday it would take 200 days for me to see a cent. SO yeah, poll closed, and this post will be deleted in a week or so. Yeah... this was an eye-opening experience.


I've put a couple of polls up today. One is a retrospective poll, which I'm excited about making. The other is a bit of an experiment on my part. Yep, I've put up a poll about ads. Now, a primary rule of this blog is no ads, buuuuuuut I'm curious.If I put ads up, and I make, say, a dollar a month (Which is probably hopeful talk, all things considered) I might be more "intrigued" about making new articles. I'll put ads up for about 2-3 months as an experiment if the poll approves.No worries either way, the blog will remain FOREVER. WHAHAHA- uh, anyway, vote on it? Hey, if It's a yes I can make a review about ads themselves! Anyway, I'm just curious to see what will happen from all this. Retrospective in march!

Edit: I added a "Followers" gadget to the blog. I'm not yet sure if that is better or worse than subscribing by email. If you're already subbed by email, don't worry about it.

The Nintendo Switch

Boy, this is an odd one. Yup, it's a console-handheld hybrid, like expected, so what are my own feeble thoughts about it? Full disclosure, I don't have a switch. That's a whopping 300 bucks I don't have or have spent on vita games.

Yeah, that's the thing though, the switch is a PS Vita + PSTV. It's a high-end portable, something I thought was proven that people didn't want with the vita. Of course, the switch has its own variety of gimmicks and features, but it has a lot of flaws too. Clearly, the detachable controllers are a big selling point. Not only can you put them into a controller, but you can also have two players on the go. However, aside form technical issues (controllers purportedly de-sync) they also look uncomfortable when held sideways for two players. Also with this comes the complete removal of the D-pad, which is ironic, given the fact that it's Nintendo's invention. Instead, there's a Wonderswan-esque four button arrangement. As an aside, I am overjoyed that I successfully used "Wonderswan-esque" in a sentence.
