My top 10 (i.e my day one purchases)
1. Persona 5: It's been number 1 for a while now, but if I could have every other game I'm mentioning in this post or Persona 5, I would choose Persona 5. That's the excitement here.
2. Street Fighter V: Silly me I thought this was out! Guess it goes to show how much I enjoyed the betas. I've watched Street Fighter IV for years now, but always found the SF4 series a bit too steep a mountain to climb myself. About time to get into the series proper with SFV. Rise up!
3. Nier Automata: I loved everything about Nier, but its gameplay did leave some to be desired for sure. Good thing Platinum's on the job this time! It'll be like going from a car with square wheels to a goddamn Ferrari.
4. Fire Emblem Fates: Huge fan of Fire Emblem. I enjoyed Awakening but it very much had its flaws and disappointments gameplay wise, good thing it had great presentation, characters and writing and saved the series to boot. Fates looks to be much better! (Also yay Corrin for Smash
)
5. Final Fantasy XV: Been looking forward to this one for a while now too! It's awesome to finally have it within reach. Loved Episode Duscae and have faith that XV will be a great game. Gimme gimme!
6. Genei Ibun Roku #FE: I've loved all the new stuff Atlus has done in recent years; Catherine, Radiant Historia, all the Persona spin offs and this looks like another fantastic one. Bring on the Pop JRPG SENSATION? Yes please Atlus, you crazy trolls.
7. Zelda U: I've always loved the idea of Zelda, but I've always found it difficult to get into them. I've only managed to finish Twilight Princess out of the 5 or 6 that I've played. So I'm excited to hear that this one shakes up the formula!
8. Horizon Zero Dawn: Exciting new blood? Absolutely. Love everything that I've seen of this one so far. Would probably be higher up the list if they had shown more than they have so far, but hey, they already have me.
9. Uncharted 4: Love pretty much all of Naughty Dog's games, and this one will be no different. Gonna be a great ride and a fantastic end.
10. World of Final Fantasy: I'm interested in the kid friendly direction they're going with this one, but aside from that I love me some nice production value JRPGs, especially ones with Final Fantasy in the title.
Runners up (i.e wait till reception or price cut) - Overwatch, Paragon, Ratchet & Clank, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Valkyria Chronicles HD, Nioh, Gravity Rush 2, King of Fighters XIV, Bravely Second, Trails of Cold Steel (EU), Yokai Watch (also EU), Hyrule Warriors Legends, Danganronpa 3, Tekken 7, Pokken, Digimon Cyber Sleuth, Odin Sphere HD, Project X Zone 2, The Last Guardian and PSVR & its games in general. Would've included games like Valkyria Azure and Ni No Kuni 2, but I don't think they'll be making 2016. It's packed enough without them anyway!
Indie spotlight - Hollow Knight, Severed, Heart Forth Alicia, Darkest Dungeon, Hyper Light Drifter, The Witness, Wanderer
- Edit - Forgot SFV wasn't out, put into list which knocked off R&C.
