Also this month we will see Super Street Fighter IV, updated roster... not really seeing why it should be a new purchase but oh well, fans will eat it up but I doubt Capcom can get away with as many revisions Street Fighter II had, at least III only had 3 (New Generation, 2nd Impact and 3rd Strike).
3D Dot Game Heroes comes out in May, from what it looks like it seems to be Lego Zelda, but done so well, something that seems well worth getting into.
After such a massive software drought, I am supprised that of all systems the Wii is getting alot of love this mid year, starting with the Australian release of No More Hereos 2, a sequel to my 2nd favorite Wii game (first being Zelda) along with Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M.
Super Mario Galaxy won so many game of the year awards in 2007 that I am surprised Nintendo isn't saving it for Q4, Metroid is generating excitement given its hybrid for first person and 2D sidescrolling classic gameplay combined with Team Ninja's trademark styleish combat.
The game I am looking forward to more than anything else this year is also getting mid year release as Sonic 4 will finally see its release (it only took 16 years!). When I saw the trailer for this I felt like a kid again. The 2D Sonic games will always have a place in my heart, they were a big part of my childhood.
Prince of Persia is also getting a new entry in May. The last one was a good game but fell way short of expectations considering how brilliant the Sands of Time trilogy was. Well this one takes place just after the Sands of Time and will hopefully return the Prince to what made him one of key franchises of the last generation.
So at the end of it I can rest assured there is no real drought this year but it begs the question: Impart from Fallout New Vegas and F.E.A.R. 3 and the predicable next (most likely crappy) Treyarch Call of Duty game. What does Q4 have? Is it going to be dry like last years?
I guess time will tell.
