What Are Your Day 1, Must Buy Games for the Rest of 2017

TheBowen

Sat alone in a boggy marsh
Yakuza Kiwami ( Already Pre Ordered)
Call Of Duty WW2.
Shadow Of War
Wolfenstein 2


Maybe Day One Day
Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Legacy
 
Same 2 as the op for me: super Mario Odyssey and Metroid. My PC backlog is being appreciated through a new PC, and I don't have an x86 twin. So Odyssey and Metroid are the only things remaining that can generate the hype to break through the feeling of "I don't need more games."

I might cave and get jpn MHXX for switch. I'm antsy as fuck to play the demo.

I dunno what else for now.

Mario Odyssey is probably the only one, and while it's not a game my other day one gaming purchase will be the Xbox One X.
 
Definite Day 1 (because I have them preordered):

Super Mario Odyssey
Mario X Rabbids
Metroid: Samus Returns

Potential Day 1:

Stardew Valley Switch
Sonic Mania
Crackdown 3
Wolfenstein 2
 

Courage

Member
Sonic Mania
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Metroid: Samus Returns
Cuphead
The Evil Within 2
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
Super Mario Odyssey
Hollow Knight (Switch)

maybe:

Destiny 2 (PC)
Crackdown 3
Rocket League (Switch)
 
100% day 1:

Xenoblade 2
Zelda BotW Story DLC
Mario Odyssey

It will be probably more, but that are the games (or DLC) i preordered and can't wait to play them.

Edit: There should be more love for Xenoblade 2 in your lists, the 1st one was one of the best JRPGs.
 
Just Pokemon Ultra Sun & Layton's Mystery Journey on 3ds
I do intend to get quite a few others but not at release (Pillars of Eternity PS4, Vampyr, Hellblade, Elex, South Park, Dragon's Dogma, Undertale PS4, Cities Skylines PS4, Uncharted, Mario Odyssey, Middle Earth Shadow of War, Battlefront 2...)

I'm hoping Divinity Original Sin 2 will get a console release at some point
 
Yakuza: Kiwami is a no-brainer. It's only $30 and I like to support the localization of this franchise (in the vein hope it'll come to PC someday).

But that's really it as I the only other game I would've purchased day one without hesitation (RDR2) was pushed back to 2018. However, I do have my eye on a few 2017 titles that I will likely pick up during the Steam winter sale if they review well, such as Assassin's Creed Origins, Wolfenstein II, Call of Duty: WWII, and Middle-earth: Shadow of War.

Wow, the older I get the more Nintendo-centric I feel I'm becoming.

Sonic Mania (PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One) – August 15
Matterfall (PS4) – August 15
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (Uncharted 4 standalone DLC) (PS4) – August 22 NA, August 23 EU
Yakuza Kiwami (PS4) – August 29
Metroid: Samus Returns (3DS) – September 15
Cuphead (PC, Xbox One) – September 29
Forza 7 (PC, Xbox One) – October 3
Gran Turismo Sport (PC, PS4) – October 17

Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon (3DS) – November 17

Those I'm 100% sure (since I have almost all of them preordered LOL); probably some others too, depending on impressions/reviews.
 
Uncharted Lost Legacy
Undertale
Yakuza Kiwami

Megaman Legacy 2
Everybodys Golf

These two are only due to the Amazon glitch. Otherwise I wouldn't buy them.

I might get Wolfenstein 2 and/or Evil Within 2 day one as well though I'm also considering just waiting for Black Friday or something.

There's nothing I absolutely have to play day 1 really, but I'll most likely rent these games within the first few days they're released:

South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Yakuza Kiwami
Cuphead (I'll buy this one as it's not available to rent)
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
Star Wars: Battlefront 2
Skyrim VR
 
Ys VIII and Super Mario Odyssey are definites for me. I'm waiting for reviews and general impressions for Agents of Maybe and CoD WW2. I kinda expect Agents of Mayhem to be this year's Battleborn, so I should definitely wait on it.
 
Only game on my mind is Destiny 2... Probably others i will get day 1, like south park. But Destiny 2 is an absolute, must-have day 1 game!
 
Uncharted Lost Legacy and NHL 18.

Those are the only two off hand that are musts for me.

Maybe Wolfenstein 2 and Metroid Samus Returns.

If I had a Switch, Mario + Rabbids would be another one

Great job with the release dates, OP.

Sonic Mania (Switch) – August 15 - Sonic was a solid franchise on Megadrive. Since this is firmly 16-bit era Sonic, we know what to expect. Style over substance, but I'm okay with that in this instance.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 full release (PC) – September 14 - I already own this one. Just waiting for it to be officially released (not touching the early access build). Larian is a special talent in this time of bland open world games.

Gran Turismo Sport (PC, PS4) – October 17 - Don't let me down, Polyphony. GT on PS1/PS2 was top tier. Please be good.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole – (PC, PS4, Xbox One) – October 17 - So long as South Park's creators are on board, this can't go wrong, even with a different dev team. I hope.

Super Mario Odyssey (Switch) – October 27 - Will this be on par with the Galaxy series? Criminal that those games are still stuck on Wii.

Also have a SNES Mini pre-ordered. This was my first major console growing up. Didn't bother with the NES Mini, but so looking forward to getting my hands on this.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Switch) – holiday 2017. The original is a classic, and I'm anticipating this to have more personality than Chronicles X.
 
Super Mario Odyssey
Zelda Breath Of The Wild DLC
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy


These three and possibly South Park: The Fractured But Whole and Wolfenstein 2.
 
DAY ONE:

Danganronpa v3
Wolfenstein
Super Mario Odyssey
Battlefront II
Hallow Knight (Switch)

Probably

Sonic Mania
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider
Evil Within 2

Thinking about it

Batman: Enemy Within
Mario + Rabbids
AC
Uncharted: Lost Legacy
Hellblade
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Vampyre
Divinity: Original Sin 2
Pillars of Eternity
South Park: Fractured But Whole
