This year is still packed for me.

Sonic Mania (PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One) – August 15
Fire Emblem Warriors (New 3DS, Switch) – fall 2017
Super Mario Odyssey (Switch) – October 27
Hearthstone – Knights of the Frozen Throne expansion (PC, Mobile) – August
Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2 (Switch) – September 22
Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony (PC, PS4, Vita) – September 26
Nintendo SNES Classic Mini console launch – September 29

I'm also seeing a bit of a trend with my buying habits this year. Mostly because Nintendo holds it's value well.

Super Mario Odyssey, Sonic Mania, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (if it makes it this year).

I'm on the fence about Battlefront II, and possibly Fire Emblem Warriors, but I'm undecided on that one too.

Click to expand...

Mario+Rabbids is close to being one but I almost certainly won't have a Switch by then.
SNES mini if I could walk into a store and buy one.
Xenoblade 2 if it makes it this year and if I have a Switch then.
I'll certainly buy South Park but I think the desire to get it for much cheaper will prevent me getting it day 1.

Already have:

Fifa 18 preodered
Danganronpa V3 special edition preordered
Yakuza Kiwami preordered
Destiny 2 Preordered
Mario Odyssey Preordered
CoD: WWII preordered

Probably most excited for Danganronpa, I've been waiting for what feels like forever!

Fifa I get every other year, so I get pretty excited when it comes out.

Yakuza is Yakuza and everyone must play Yakuza because Yakuza.

- Assassin's Creed Origins
- Star Wars Battlefront 2

But definitely getting:
Yakuza Kiwami
Uncharted Lost Legacy
Mario+Rabbids
Cuphead
Dishonored 2 DLC
Divine Divinity Original Sin 2
South Park fractured but whole
Super Mario Odyssey
Wolfenstein New Colossus

Doubtful coming out this year:
Xenoblade Chronicles 2

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Honestly, the second half of this year is pretty weak for me. Probably just Mario. The rest of these games I might never buy, let alone day one.

Not a single single one. The plan is to not buy a single game before the backlog is completely cleared, and then go after stuff I've already missed.

October 24 to 27 is going to hurt.

Catching up on my backlog this summer because I'll be hopelessly busy from fall to next spring.

I haven't even bought hardly any of the amazing spring/summer games yet.

Right now Horizon: ZD DLC is my only day 1 purchase for the rest of the year. This fall I will be be buying games from earlier in the year on sale.
