@GageBlackW23 It's still a very nice prediction though and you do earn points for the "free-for-all" predictions, this just happens to be an unintentional corner case that I should have anticipated.

I'm losing track of how much stuff has been delayed in like the last 7 days.

@GageBlackW23 Nice one, although it occurs to me that Byleth is for DLC pack 1 and the common score sheet happened to specifically state 'Fighters Pass 2' characters. (no idea how to handle that, just keep score however I guess) ┐( ´－｀)┌

On a related note, there's no way my "Edelgard" prediction is going to happen now.

I updated the first post to streamline the instructions. For maximum funsies make your predictions soon, before the rumored January direct (which could be in days). If you are reading this far in the future and still want to join in for the remainder of the year, go ahead. (of course, your predictions should only be stuff that isn't know at the time you joined).

The "busty Morrigan" PSM cover with that Bosman wanted more than a new demo disc might have been this issue?

If anyone has solid predictions of which games will appear, consider joining this thread I made where we make a year of Nintendo trailer predictions.

I want Turok to come back, with the design sensibilities of 1 & 2.

Warcraft III: Reforged is expected to release Jan 28 (although I think it's been delayed before, so...). If you are unfamiliar, Warcraft 3 is a fantasy RTS with a heavy hero unit element and "Warcraft 3: Reforged" is a remake/remaster. For whatever reason, I peg Warcaft 3 as the ending point where people really cared about RTS, but it still holds up as one of the best and was very influential. I love WC3, and I hope this is a straight upgrade over the original.

A thread for examining the new games of January! Share your personal picks, interesting curios, and not quite there possibles...

.

Did you discover some small game that not everyone knows about?
Share that and let us know what it is about!

Already know a thing or two that interests you?
Make a list (or a swanky desire index) of your interests and/or possibles!

Don't know what's so great about an upcoming game you keep hearing about?
Ask here!

Don't follow gaming news that closely and just want to passively see what BigGames™ people care about?
This is the place!

Thread concept:

The basic idea is to list new games that you are interested in, as well as games you are potentially curious about or want to give wider attention to. You can briefly describe them or ask other people to help fill you in. The hope is that regular threads like these can act as a collective filter/discovery mechanism to help people decide what is worth checking out.

"New games" means any new title that is being released or ported this month in any capacity (not "backlogs/what you are playing this month"). The angle here is sharing your anticipation and promoting game discovery (as opposed to sharing comments about a first playthrough in progress - that belongs elsewhere).

.

• If you want a handy list that covers most of the major upcoming games of the month, here's a couple text lists of upcoming games:
  • Giant Bomb
  • Game Informer

Feel free to post other lists or list videos of upcoming releases that you find useful.

• Final request: If you are the first person to mention a game please provide (at minimum) a short sentence description. (If it is a very big AAA release though, then don't worry about it.) This is a good convention that makes the thread more useful as a discovery mechanism, and especially helps out anyone who doesn't follow the news as closely as you.

@yoshi said in Seeing 2020: Predict Nintendo's year in games:

well we already know Animal Crossing, No More Heroes 3, Tokyo Mirage Sessions and Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive edition are all coming.

I want to keep this to Nintendo published stuff, so No More Heroes 3 isn't part of the equation. The other 3 are all locked down and arriving relatively soon, which I felt made them less interesting to include as part of the OP list. It's up to you though if you want to make extra predictions with them. Otherwise, the OP list is going to be a sort of "common scorecard" that I encourage everyone to fill out at minimum for purposes of structuring the thread as a community game.
