2024 - Titles I'm looking forward to.

List of titles I'm looking forward to in 2024.

Titles not listed on IGDB:
โ— Cotton Fantasy 2 [STG - Horizontal; 2.5D] (announced)
โ— Eden's Eclipse [STG - Vertical; 2D] (Doujin game; Windows; no release date yet) (Demo available via Itch.io) ๐Ÿ”— Itch.io Page
โ— Final Formation [STG] (Windows PC, Switch) ๐Ÿ”— Announced
โ— P-47 II MD [STG - Horizontal] (Genesis/Mega Drive (โ—๏ธ)) ๐Ÿ”— Announced
โ— RUSHING BEAT X: Return of Brawl Brothers [ACT - Beat 'em Up; 2D] (announced)

Titles may move to my 2025 list:
โ— Kunitsu-gami: Path of the Goddess
โ— Phantom Blade 0
โ— Slitherhead
โ— Tomb Raider (tentative title)
โ— The Witcher (tentative title)
โ— Untitled Doujin Shmup (tentative title)

Notes:
โ— I removed the game, 8, as it was released last year. I originally thought it was a 2024 release, but it wasn't.
โ— I also corrected the info about the PC and Switch ports of Triggerheart Exelica. I really wish the PS2 version's features included, but they didn't implement it.
