Tales of Arise is going to be awesome!!!

Trails of Mana looks pretty good too.

FF 7 remake is no-brainer.

Xenoblade Chronicles was truly an underrated gem on the Wii U. It's amazing that the game is being remade/remastered.

Vits1992d ago

I do agree with most of what you said. But Xenoblade Chronicles is a Wii game (not a Wii U one) and is not underrated in the slightest. Not only being considered the best RPG on the entire platform for a lot of folks, but also having already received ports for the Wii U and New 3DS.

mrmikew20181992d ago

You’re right, I was thinking of chronicles X for the Wii U

Question_Mark1992d ago

Xenoblade Chronicles wasn’t ported to the Wii U, only the New 3DS.

Vits1992d ago

@Question_Mark

Yes, it was: https://www.nintendo.com/ga...

It was only released as a digital download. But it does feature improvements like support for off scree gaming.

Vits1992d ago

To be honest I'm rather surprised that they haven't ported Xenoblade Chronicles X for the Switch already. It sold alright on the Wii U, it doesn't have any mechanic that would be impossible to replicate on the Switch and it definitely have more "mass appeal" than other stuff that they ported like Tokyo Mirage.

Zeldafan641992d ago

They will port XCX at some point.

Segata1991d ago

It certainly sold better than Tokyo Mirage Sessions. So it is odd it has not happened yet.

FinalFantasyFanatic1991d ago

Yes! This is one game I really want ported, I've been waiting with bated breath on an announcement for that one.

Segata1991d ago

you mean Wii. First Xenoblade is a Wii game. X is the Wii U one.

"Anime fans - particularly those who count themselves gamers - have regarded Sword Art Online as one of the more imaginative and entertaining shows in recent history"

Oof, only the most casual of casual anime fans even consider Sword Art Online good. Much less "one of the more imaginative and entertaining shows in recent history". Sorry, I had to stop reading there at the sheer ignorance at that sentence.

He must be trolling. Otherwise he has terrible taste in anime.

rainslacker1991d ago

Yeah. I know there are people that like the show, but never, not once, have I seen discussion like that, nor have I heard it from numerous hardcore, or even casual anime fans that I associate with either online or off. It's a sometimes entertaining show, but it's about as shallow and predictable as they come, and it's agenda is to sell merchandise and the franchise, not be imaginative. It's only sometimes entertaining, but I could list many formulaic syndicated animes that I would rather watch.

The games are decent enough sometimes though.

jambola1991d ago

no
sword art online is just cool to hate
like battle royale or call of duty
You really stopped reading because they praised something you don't like?

At least the creators of Digimon plan on adding more Digimon to their game and not removing any. Also, calling it a knockoff of Pokemon is selling it short. It's a decent series that rests on its own merits, thank you. It's also doubtful that Bandai Namco see it as much of a competitor since they still don't think the series is mainstream enough to warrant a dub (which is making it hard to recommend to certain friends and family). Granted, that's still voice acting the Pokemon series doesn't have.

FinalFantasyFanatic1991d ago (Edited 1991d ago )

I'm looking forward to Trials Of Mana, Xenoblade Chronicles (have this on 3DS but never finished it), Rune Factory 4 and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. I know that's alot of remakes/remasters, but I missed some of those games the first time around and still want to play them.

I'm wary of the FF7 remake, the demo leak has made worried about if I'll like the combat, it's worse than I thought it would be (might feel different after I personally play the demo). Tales Of Arise looks terrible to me, so I'll probably pass on that depending on what else they show about the game before release. Digimon Survive looks good, but I don't think I'll play it anyway.

Gheritt_White1991d ago

Surprised that Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 didn't get a mention. That and Cyberpunk 2077 are going to dominate 2020 IMHO

1 - 3 are connected. Idk if X is connected since I haven't beaten the epilogue in X yet. X will probably be connected.

Yeah. That’s the first I’ve seen it anywhere near #1.

Mario 64 is great but I wouldn’t put it over Mario World.

Top 10 were bangers till they threw the #1 spot away lol

Thanks for checking out the article

Zeldafan64109d ago

Not having any Xenoblade Chronicles games on the list is a crime.

CUnit123123108d ago

Sorry lol. I wrote the article but 5 of us voted for many different games and majority went on the list then we worked on the list. If it were just my personal top favorite we'd seen some xenoblade and star ocean as well as some others. Thanks for checking out it!

RavenWolfx107d ago

Chrono Trigger at 31 makes my heart hurt.

Zeldafan64107d ago

Not having any Xenoblade Chronicles games on the list at all is a crime.
