Most anticipated
Some of these are already out but I'm poor. Also kinda hate that a good chunk of these are remasters but eh
24 Games
I'm a rabid Suikoden fan so what do you expect my #1 to be.

Elden Ring blew me away. I was feeling a bit burnt out on the Souls games, but it just blew past any expectations I had, and then some. Of course I'm looking forward to even more of an already dense adventure.
tomba/tombi remaster or port or whatever. i'm there day one
Analgesic is doing their take on the Ys formula, which of course is not exactly Ys but also likely 10x more interesting.
looks like it might be taking a cue from the trials of mana remake (which i loved) but with a bigger budget. just make a good action rpg this time guys, it's not that hard.
This is already out but I'm poor rn. Definitely going to be a game I pick up when it's on sale, seems like it's worth the full price tho.
who even f*&^ing knows with this thing anymore but i hope they blow my mind with new mechanics or something considering it's taking a decade.
very intricate zelda-esque puzzles and no combat inbetween. been following this one for several years and the demo is phenomenal.
Still haven't gotten into the original, but if I can play it more optimized to PS4, that sounds pretty great. At least I hope they optimize to PS4 and not just PS5.
I don't know much of anything about this, but correct me if I'm wrong, Toriyama's last big game and it looks like a vehicle combat open world style thing. I'm a fan of Metal Max so we'll see I guess. Looks gorgeous either way.
This came out of nowhere when they announced it. Need.
really gives me old school platformer vibes but it's also doing its own thing as well. definitely one to keep an eye on.
RPG Maker game with amazing low-poly cut scenes. Looks like a good time.
Will love replaying the first game and have wanted the sequel since forever.
As much as I love Suda, pretty much all of his games feel incomplete like he lost interest halfway (probably true), but this game felt like a fully fleshed out... GAME. Maybe it was because of Shinji Mikami's input, who knows. Really looking forward to revisiting.
Nails the PS1 FF7/Resident Evil vibe like nothing I have as of yet experienced. Played the demo, this is a keeper.
Hey, more Ys is rarely a bad thing.
I haven't been the biggest fan of the latest Atlus releases but color me cautiously optimistic on their take on a more fantasy style world. Seems very Heironymous Bosch (sp) inspired, which is a very nice cue to spring from.
I'm split on this one. Epic Mickey was a solid 7 game that I genuinely enjoyed despite some issues. Maybe even a 7.5. It's not on my must haves but I would likely enjoy revisiting it.
Bit of a guilty pleasure even tho it was hugely creative.

What if Moon was an actual RPG tho? Potentially peak.
the first game did enough things right so im looking forward to this (eventually)
everything ingame is prebuilt by hand then 3D scanned to get the stop-motion look. quite an ingenious way to speed up the pain-staking process of stop-motion.

@imshitting420 not a fan of lollipop chainsaw but shadows felt like if suda51 made a dmc style game, so i liked it because i like both. sorry im completely oblivious on sand land but ill check out the manga.
Good picks!
Basically ditto on 90% of these, my list would also include (if I made one):
Deca Police
Professor Layton and the World of Steam
Paper Mario TTYD Remake
Harold Halibut (looks interesting)
Endless Ocean: Luminous (really loved Endless Ocean growing up, really serene and therapeutic game.)
Epic Mickey simultaneously looks cool and kind of cheesy, but I want to try it. What are your thoughts on that one?

@DizzySkullKid19 never got into the paper mario series bc i was too beholden to mario rpg to give it a chance as a kid, but i always meant to eventually (paper mario 64 is sitting on nso just waiting for me). hadnt heard of deca police till now, sounds cool! professor layton is another series i need to catch up on (i played the first one but then got overwhelmed by how many there are since). i was this close to adding harold halibut just because it's stop-motion/clay/whatever but i realized i know nothing about it besides that and need to actually look into it first. endless ocean is so chill, i love it. i want it but i'm not dying waiting for it.
epic mickey is somewhat mixed. i dont know if you like psychonauts, but it had a similarly creative feel to it (except not quite as good ofc). just some very cool level designs in general. the camera could be pretty garbage at spots. if they put it out for $60 it's totally not worth it, but if they fix the camera, it would be worth a solid $30-40 when it's on sale at some point. the paint thinner/paint thing is kinda cool, so you can choose to be "evil" or good. i chose to be good and will go the evil route if/when i play it again.

@fntm Love Professor Layton, aesthetically beautiful game, one of Level 5's best imho (along with Dark Cloud and the such). I messed up bad by selling Miracle Mask, because now that is the only game that I am missing in my Professor Layton collection. It's funny cause we thought Azran Legacy was gonna be the final Prof. Layton game, glad that's not the case.
Honestly, I'm not a huge Paper Mario aficionado either, literally the only Paper Mario game I've completed is one of the modern ones, Color Splash. I know the earlier games are really praised, although tbh I found what I played of Paper Mario 64 to be just a little boring, but I do want to go back to it. TTYD is the one I've been pining for, since the prices on that one are just way out of my normal budget, and I am not willing to spend that much for a copy. I wouldn't mind experiencing it on the Switch, $60 is at least a little better than $130-200, and I'm really curious what the hype is about. Saw some walkthroughs and the game does look pretty strange in a cool way.
I don't know jack about Harold Halibut either, but it does have a kind of odd flair to it, that I think I would enjoy + I like adventure games.
Thanks for the info on Epic Mickey. That's an interesting kind of Shin Megami Tensei decision to have good and evil routes out of Disney of all companies. I mainly like the aesthetics of the game, but I also feel as if it is like a sanitized, Disney darkness that I find kind of cheesy. Anyhoo, I might pick up the Wii version for cheap to see if I like it. I can deal with bad controls so I think I can handle it (we'll see).
Psychonauts is pretty cool, I have a lot of admiration for it. I just shelved it for now. While I like it's story, Tim Burton-esque whimsy and surrealistic characters as well as psychological explorations (literal mind-diving), I found the actual 3D platforming and collectathon aspects to be kind of confusing, defo will come back to it though.

@DizzySkullKid19 i actually mostly despise current disney, epic mickey manages to feel more like old school mickey mouse, also warren spector (deus ex) directed it so it's just more interesting than typical disney stuff.
