Mario Kart 8 (WiiU)

Mario Kart and Watch Dogs are my most anticipated games of the year, so this is a good month for me. I still need to get a Wii U for MK though! Kirby snuck up on me, but I will probably rent it.

Kirby and Mario Kart for me

For sure: Mario Kart 8.

Maybes: Drakengard 3 (Can't pass up a good console RPG) and Tesla Effect. I've always been a fan of the Tex Murphy series since the 1990s.

Nothing for me. Transistor and Watch Dogs will wait until I have a Ps4 and I had no idea there was a new Kirby coming out. Might look into that but I have enough 3DS games right now

I'm getting Watch Dogs for sure. Still really excited for that game. I'll most likely pick up Bound by Flame, Soul Sacrifice Delta and Transistor as well. Not sure when I'll have time to play them all but that's what I plan on doing if everything goes according to plan.

From what I've seen Kirby isn't a full-priced purchase (for me) and nothing else this month really strikes me.

Just Mario Kart for me.

There are many games that interest me, but Transistor is probably all I will pull the trigger on at launch. My backlog keeps growing since what I didn't jump on last two quarters is starting to drop in price.

For anyone getting Mario Kart, there's a Club Nintendo thing where you get a free game.

That's a really tempting deal.

Oh shit, I completely didn't notice Transistor. That's another game I might jump on.

Damn, Kay, you should post that in the deals thread. That's some awesome deals finagling if I've ever seen it. Second best this year so far.

Transistor is the only game I want this month. I'll pick up Watch_Dogs eventually when I have some better hardware.

Getting Mario Kart for sure.
On the fence on Drakengard. I might have to wait and see what it looks like. Don't worry I'll be ignoring reviews from all the major outlets since they failed so amazingly when they reviewed NieR.

Tomorrow will be the first time Kay updates her twitter feed before noon.
This will be her post:

I'm probably going to jump on Drakengard 3 myself. I also don't give a damn about reviews from what passes for "major gaming outlets" these days. I haven't given a damn about gaming journalism since all the big print mags went under. Outfits like Polygon are little more than glorified blogs.

How can you say that San when the people at Polygon have great professionalism and objectivity like this here?

I think reading that tweet and the responses actually gave me cancer. Yeesh. Kudos to your attempts to derail the thing though.

I have a Twitter account of my own but I haven't tweeted anything in three years.
