That's it. I'm taking a week off for Odyssey and 11 days off for BotW, but I'm still not confident that I'll have enough time to play them all. Might have to push one big title off to January or February.

Realistically, just Destiny 2. I wish I had time for more games, but I'm backlogging pretty hard right now with The Witcher 3, and I have a potential move coming up and a wedding to attend. So not much time/money for games at the moment.

Odyssey and Samus Returns are the big two, and I've also had my finger on the trigger for Hollow Knight (Switch) ever since the port was announced. Those are the games I'll shove everything aside to play. Already bought StarCraft: Remastered, too.

I have a few other things on order, too (Rabbids, Xenoblade, etc.), and I'm keeping my eye on a fair number of indies, but I could wait on any of them if push came to shove. I've already cut a few corners this year on games I would usually pick up right away, particularly on 3DS.

From your list, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel (PC, already bought) and .hack//G.U. Last Recode (PC). Ys Seven and Ys VIII would be too but I haven't even beaten Ys I yet(I don't want to skip ahead, I know you can), trying to focus on Trails(I'm ~20hrs into SC) first.

Day 1

Yakuza Kiwami (already preordered)
Utawarerumono (already preordered) (Vita)

Maybe Later

Ys VIII - wait for reviews
Everybody's Golf - still plan on finishing at least one EG before getting this.
Gran Turismo Sport - wait for reviews
Summon Night 6 - wait for reviews

Titles I still want to purchase

Trails of Cold Steel 1 & 2 (probably on Vita)
Tokyo Xanadu (Vita)
Final Fantasy X/X-2 (Vita)

So still quite a number of things to spend money on - and way more than I can feasibly play this year.

Day 1:
Super Mario Odyssey (Switch)
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle (Switch)
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Switch)
Skyrim (Switch)
Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (PC)

I'll eventually buy a lot of the 2017 games in 2018-2019 through Steam sales. Not rush when I already have a huge backlog and buy a new (Day 1) game or two a month.

Yakuza kiwami and mario odyessy. Might get Danganronpa v3 but that's probably it. Dragon dogma depending on the price. Don't want to play full price if it's launched at £40-50.
