What I'm Looking Forward To (Fall 2011)

NWR's Director takes a peek at the upcoming slate of games and waxes poetic about why he is excited for certain games.

I've said a great deal about how thoroughly disappointed I was with most of 2011. I feel like a broken record. To combat that, I'm going to look over the slate of releases for the rest of 2011 and talk a little bit about why I'm excited for them.

Now, I might not be overly positive on every single game, but for example, I'll likely write a paragraph or two on why I think Frogger 3D looks ridiculous. I'm not going to rush out and buy that game the day it comes out (I think), but it's worth noting, and I look forward to its existence even if I don't have the funds to play it.

Talkback

I'm sad that the developers couldn't (or just didn't)  implement an online multiplayer mode given that Starfox Command already had a rudimentary one in place.  If they had expanded the original multiplayer mode, it would have made all the difference in making the game a day one purchase.

I know that someone stated on RFN that dogfighting in the original Starfox 64 wasn't all that much fun, but my friends and I had hours of fun with it back in the day.  I used to dream of someday playing a sequel to Starfox or Rogue Squadron that allowed friends to cooperatively attack a fleet, a boss or complete a mission.  For example, it would have been great if you could have a multiplayer mode where you could either choose the role of the Star Fox or Star Wolf teams.

I feel a little sad that space fighters/shooters/simulators are generally out of vogue.  Star Fox was probably my most-played game during the N64 days.  I love that game; I used to play through it at least once a day after school.

Are there just two games you're looking forward to or do you plan to add more to this at some point?

I believe I made it decently clear throughout the posted pages that it's a work in progress, and not everything will be posted all at once, as evidenced by the fact that Star Fox 64 3D and Bit.Trip Complete/Saga were posted about a week apart.

Ah I see. I just found this today so I wasn't sure, and I didn't realize the Bit.Trip.Complete entry is the same one that was posted separately since I didn't click on it. Good to know.

Wait when was Layton confirmed 2 weeks after Kirby? someone please answer

AFAIK, in North America Layton still just has a "Fall 2011" release date.

It was a joke...
