Will buy(s):

  • Forza Motorsport 7
  • GT Sport

Might buy(s):

  • XCOM 2 Expansion
  • Crash Bandicoot N'Sane Trilogy
  • WipEout Omega
  • FIFA 18
  • Project Cars 2

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.
 
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
Life is Strange: Before the Storm
Destiny 2
The Evil Within 2
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
Vampyr
and
Routine, if it even releases this year, somehow.
 
Nothing is ever Day 1 for me but these are all definite buys:

Wolfenstein II: The New Collosus
The Evil Within 2
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider
Cuphead
Super Mario Odyssey (when I get a Switch down the line)
 
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.
 
A lot mor than I thought:

Batman: The Enemy Within – Episode 1 (PS4) – August 8
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (Uncharted 4 standalone DLC) (PS4) – August 23 EU
Life is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode One (PS4) – August 31
Cuphead (PC) – September 29
Nintendo SNES Classic Mini console launch – September 29
South Park: The Fractured But Whole – (PS4) – October 17
Super Mario Odyssey (Switch) – October 27
Rime (Switch) – November 17th EU
Vampyr (PS4) – November
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Switch) – holiday 2017
 
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
Matterfall
Windjammers (maybe)
Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

Finishing up backlog and only buying a few things for the rest of the year. I just have to hope sales don't get me caught up...
 
Depending on how they are received:

Mega Man Legacy Collection 2
Yakuza Kiwami
Monster Hunter Stories
Metroid: Samus Returns
Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony
Cuphead
Middle-earth: Shadow of War
The Evil Within 2
South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Super Mario Odyssey
Etrian Odyssey 5: Beyond the Myth
Fire Emblem Warriors
Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen
Xenoblade Chronicles 2

For me:
Metroid Samus Returns
Super Mario Odyssey (if I have a Switch then)
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.
 
- XCOM 2 Expansion
- Pillars of Eternity

Buy Later
- Dishonored 2 DLC
- AC Origins
- Shadow of War
- Wolfenstein 2

That's it for the rest of the year.
 
Wolfenstein
Evil Within 2
Yakuza Kiwami
Matterfall
Mario Odyssey
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Ys 8
Metroid Samus Returns
Gundam Versus
Southpark
Dragon's Dogma HD
Tokyo Xanadu (PS4 version)
 
Divinity: Original Sin 2

- I have zero doubt this will become one of the most ambitious games of this generation and my personal GOTY 2017. Swen is love, Swen is life.
 
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.
 
Definitely gonna get:

Mario+Rabbids
Wolfenstein II
Destiny 2
Super Mario Odyssey
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (if it comes out this year).

Maybe (probably):

Sonic Mania
 
3DS

Monster Hunter Stories
Metroid: Samus Returns
Yo-Kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters
Culdcept: Revolt
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions
Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth

PS4

Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash

I buy all my Sony stuff digitally so I always wait for deep discounts. Senran will be an exception for the LE.
 
Super Mario Odyssey
Knack 2 (Yeah, I said it)
Pillars of Eternity (PS4)
CoD: WWII (PS4)
Evil Within 2 (PS4)
Wolfenstein 2 (PS4)
Xenoblade if it comes out for real
Sonic Mania (PS4)
Uncharted Lost Legacy
Ys VIII (PS4)
Gran Turismo Sport
X1X
Dragon's Dogma (PS4)

I think that is it. I buy too much shit....sheesh.
 
2K18 and Mario Odyssey. I will try to get the SNES classic but if not, oh well. Other than that, the rest will be purchased on sale months later....
 
100% Day 1:

Super Mario Odyssey
Axiom Verge (Switch)
Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+ (Switch), still not released in Europe
Owlboy (Switch)
Hollow Knight (Switch)
South Park: Fractured But Whole (PS4)
SNES Mini

Pretty Sure Day 1:

Mario & Rabbids, if it Reviews well, but the Previews seem promising

Maybe Day 1:

Cuphead (XBO)
Rime (Switch)
 
For me, and even then it depends on if they get horrible reviews regarding glitches and stuff like that (AC Unity-like):

- Assassin's Creed Origins
- Star Wars Battlefront 2
 
Most likely going to focus on pc VR games then traditional games.

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
Assassin Creed origins

Maybe depending on reviews:
Evil Within 2

Doubtful coming out this year:
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
 
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.
 
Going off your list op:

Sonic Mania
Uncharted: Lost Legacy
Yakuza Kiwami
Dishonored Death of the Outsider
Battlechasers
Vampyr

On the fence about a few such as Wolfenstein, Xcom, Pillers of Eternity.
 
100% Day One:

Yakuza Kiwami (PS4)
Destiny 2 (PS4)
Danganronpa V3 (PS4)
Fifa 18 (PS4)
South Park: Fractured But Whole (PS4)
Mario Odyssey (Switch)

Buying later/waiting for Reviews:

Hellblade (PS4)
Shadow of War (PS4)
Assassins Creed: Origins (PS4)
Xenoblade 2 (Switch)
 
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.
 
Sonic Mania
Starcraft Remastered
Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA
Middle-Earth: Shadow of War
Cuphead
Divinity: Original Sin 2
A Hat in Time
The Evil Within 2
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
 
PS4:
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
Destiny 2
Wolfenstein II
Southpark TFBW
The Evil Within 2

Switch:
Mario Odyssey
Xenoblade 2

Maybes:
Undertale
Mario + Rabbids
Golf Story
Life is Strange: Before the storm
Danganronpa V3
 
Just Mario and Uncharted.

Could potentially be weak and get Gran Turismo Sport even though I'm not liking the previews too much.
