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

@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.
