10. Super Mario 3D World
Price: 59.99$ [US]
Release Date: [December 2013]
Platform(s): Wii U
Excitment Level: ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆
Reason: I was extremely excited for the 3D mario viewing at E3, and although I'm slightly disappointed with its linear levels, it seems that the multiplayer will help boost the fun factor. I hope another 3D single player adventure for Mario comes soon, as if that were the one shown at E3, it would've been far up this list!
9. Rune Factory 4
Price: 39.99$ [US]
Release Date: [August 13th, 2013]
Platform(s): 3DS
Excitment Level: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
Reason: I truly love RPG's, as they are my favorite genre in gaming. Once I saw that this anime-styled RPG was coming to NA, I got quite excited. Although I'm new to the series, I can say (watching tons of gameplay in japanese version) that this game looks incredible and has some serious time. I mean, digging for ingredients and farm stuff while fighting monsters is quite fun right?
8. Mario & Luigi RPG 4: Dream Team
Price: 39.99$ [US]
Release Date: [August 11th, 2013]
Platform(s): 3DS
Excitment Level: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
Reason: I loved the second and third games' role playing action and intense puzzles. (Although I'm not the biggest puzzle fan, I could take the ones here) The objects and mechanics look seriously revamped, and I'm quite excited for what Nintendo's hiding behind their backs now! The gameplay videos look like this game will be staying back like its previous 3 games. I'm hoping that Big N doesn't mess this game up like they did with Paper Mario SS.
7. Shin Megami Tensei IV
Price: 49.99$ [US]
Release Date: [July 16th, 2013]
Platform(s): 3DS
Excitment Level: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆
Reason: I'm a big fan of dungeon crawlers, and with the serious effort that Atlus is putting into this, not much can go wrong with this game. I've heard that this game has been in development for over 5 years, or at least there was a gap that long between the previous installment (smt3). The demons look as good as ever, and the music is rocking. I'm expecting a lot from you now Atlus!
6. Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD
Price: 49.99$ [???]
Release Date: [August 2013]
Platform(s): Wii U
Excitment Level: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆
Reason: (Box Art not official, just a placeholder for now) I never got to play Wind Waker back when it was on GCN. I wasn't much of a fan until I played some of the DS games follow WW. After I heard that the game was being remastered in HD for the Wii U, I simply gathered the must to wait patiently for the release. Finding a copy of this for the GCN is so darn expensive, and now that it's getting an HD remake, I won't have to worry too much about it, as it will be improved and reduced in price.
We're down to the Top 5, sit down, go to the bathroom, and prepare yourself for the final 5!
5. Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Price: 34.99$ [US]
Release Date: [June 9th, 2013]
Platform(s): 3DS
Excitment Level: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆
Reason: Being my Animal Crossing (Yeah I still haven't gotten the game yet), I am extremely excited to see the creativity and activities that can be done in this game. All I've heard so far is good, and I look extremely forward to getting this game. I don't usually like the build-your-own-city/life kind of games, but because this doesn't have those annoying microtransactions, I may actually be able to find some enjoyment in this title.
4. Sonic Lost World
Price: 59.99$ [???]
Release Date: [October 22nd, 2013]
Platform(s): 3DS/Wii U
Excitment Level: ★★★★★★★★☆☆
Reason: Sonic is quite awesome. Most gamers like him. I love Sonic (Especially the DS Trilogy), and I look forward to this game. It looks very similar to Super Mario Galaxy, but with a sonic twist to it, and I had a blast with SMG. The fact that the 3DS version will have completely different levels from the Wii U just gets me even more hyped up, and the levels and details put into this game feel even more complete than most of the sonic games out there.
3. Pokemon Y
Price: 39.99$ [US]
Release Date: [October 12th, 2013]
Platform(s): 3DS
Excitment Level: ★★★★★★★★★☆
Reason: I prefer Y over X, because red is one of favorite colors, but never mind that. With the addition of a 3D based world (3d movement), the game looks more fascinating than ever. That fact alone basically moved this game up the ranks easily. With all the new added mechanics and such, this game is a must get for 2013, and I'm expecting the best that nintendo has squeezed out! The game even has a worldwide release date on the same date, so all of us can battle it out the first month for the fun of it!
2. Mario Party 3DS
Price: 39.99$ [US]
Release Date: [November 2013]
Platform(s): 3DS
Excitment Level: ★★★★★★★★★★
Reason: Winter can count as early 2014 I know, but it also counts as 2013 too! My early childhood was composed of memories from the following 3 mario games: Mario Kart DS, Mario Party DS, and Super Mario 64 DS. These games revolutionized my life. The fact that Mario Kart 8 is coming next year, and 3D World being the 64 replacement, Mario Party is the game that I am getting extremely excited towards. If the game were a console game, I wouldn't be as excited, but the fun I had playing MPDS on the car, and everywhere else is just unforgettable and beautiful. If this game supports online gaming, then even better! If it had local multiplayer, it would also be really good (especially 1 card download play). I have the best memories with the game and I expect this game to be really good. Although not much gameplay has been shown, there are a few clips from a nintendo direct with a few minigames appearing, and boy do they look great! I'd love to go get myself some Goombas in this next mario party install for the 3DS!
1. Etrian Odyssey Untold: Millenium Girl
Price: 39.99$ [US]
Release Date: [October 1st, 2013]
Platform(s): 3DS
Excitment Level: ★★★★★★★★★★
Reason: [Japanese Box Art] Big surprise right? Well the meaning of this is similar to my #2 game. I fell in love with Etrian Odyssey IV after roughly 10 hours in, and I've played that game for an extremely long time, being one of my favorite games of all time. I decided to purchase the second and the third game, and I was lucky enough to see that the first game was being remade! The factor of excitement is difficult to understand for you maybe, because this "random niche dungeon crawler" is on my #1 spot, but just...give it a try. EOIV was magnificent in all ways imaginable, and the challenge was spot on. This game includes all of that, with the addition of a story mode, many new options, partial voice acting, and many more important details inspected by the developers (Atlus). The music is also something to be excited for. With Yuzo Koshiro recomposing and remastering the songs from the first game, not much can go wrong. He is basically near the level of composing as with Yuka Tsujiyoko, composer of Paper Mario TTYD and Fire Emblem Game Soundtracks. This game is my absolutely most wanted game this year, let's hear your opinions in the comments!
Remember, this is all my opinion, and not a fact, so please don't hate or spam. Thank you!
