Games on Watch – Exo’s Edition

Whoopie! Another Games on Watch list! This will make three in a row, isn’t that swell! But unlike JC and Magun, I will only be picking the top five games (in no particular order) that I am looking forward too. So let’s get on with the list:

(Wii, Buying)

After a seven year hiatus due to his multi billion dollar company, Wario finally returns to his roots with this new adventure! Now I’m really looking forward to this one as I’ve always enjoyed the Wario Land games. Based on all the previews and hands-on, this seems to be a game that I do not want to miss out on. Wario finally returns to his good ol’ greedy ways.

(DS, Buying)

Remember Kirby Super Star on the Super Nintendo? Well take that game, enhance the graphics a bit and add more content to it and you get an instant classic. I remember playing Kirby Super Star back on the Super Nintendo a lot, so seeing as this is just a remake with more content to it just makes this almost an instant buy. I really do hope we see more games like this in the near future.

(Multi-Platform, Buying PS3 Version)

Wait a second… Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Batman, Superman, and many others in the same game?! This one was a curveball out of no where when it was first announced. Who would of ever thought we would see these two franchises together. Aside from that, It seems as though they are going back to the roots of the 2D games which is a step in the right direction to me.

(Multi-Platform, Buying PS3 Version)

We’ve seen it with Star Wars and Indiana Jones, and now it’s time for Batman to be Lego-Fied. If you enjoyed the other Lego games or are a fan of Batman then you will no doubt be interested in this one. The game features around twenty characters and thirty levels with some secret levels. There is a lot of content offered in this game and I’ve been looking forward to it since it was announced.

(Miles Edgeworth: Perfect Prosecutor)

(DS, Buying)

If there’s one new series that I love on DS (well, in Japan it all started on the GBA but never made it here then) it is the Phoenix Wright/Apollo Justice Series. If you really get into the game, you could actually sit there for hours playing without even realizing it. The games really are a virtual story so there isn’t really much Gameplay going on but the story is just really addicting. Gyakuten Kenji would actually be a spin-off to the series starring Phoenix Wright’s rival (and my favorite character in the series) Miles Edgeworth. I’ve enjoyed every installment in the series and I doubt this one would be any different.

(Wii Virtual Console, Instant Buy)

Okay, so I lied when I said I would only pick five games by adding this one. But I’ve just been dying for this classic to be re-released via the Wii Virtual Console. Super Mario RPG is perhaps my favorite game of all time and when I heard it was rated on ESRB I’ve waited for it to be released ever since. Japan and just recently Europe are enjoying this game at the moment. Here’s to hoping that in the upcoming weeks that it finally makes it way over here to America. If you never played this game, PLAY IT NOW!

There are my top five…six games that I am looking forward to in no particular order. While there are other games that I do have my eye on, these six are the ones that I am most looking forward too.
