With Mad Tracks released my list of games that I am looking most forward to shrunk by one. Discounting Band of Bugs (because I assume it's in everyones list) what is everyone looking forward to?

Personally, I'm really looking forward to Undertow, Hoopworld, Street Trace: NYC, Every Extend Extra, Schizoid in that order. To be honest it's really the only 5 that I'm looking forward to. I'm possibly looking forward to Battlestar but that's only if it's a Tie Fighter or Wing Commander clone.

Wow, with all the games that have been announced or rumored, I'm having trouble remembering them all to pick.

Definitely Street Trace, Hopefully Toy Wars, then I'd guess Exit, N+ and the Incredible Machine.

I'm sure I've forgotten tonnes of them.

My list: Band of Bugs (yes, easily my #1), Mutant Storm Empire, Street Trace: NYC, and John Nielson's next game (via NinjaBee).

Whatever happened to HoopWorld?!?! It's hard to *still* be excited for it since it's been so long.

Mutant Storm Empire

N+

Ikaruga (assuming it's true... if not I may still need to buy a Cube)

Every Extend Extra Extreme

 

Those are probably the top 4, but a bunch of others look cool too.

Speaking of N+... Did anyone see that N+ was announced for DS/PSP today?

I did, hopefully they won't delay the XBLA version :)

It's interesting to see that their seems to be more and more PSP/DS games are being released on XBLA, while you miss out on the portability, I think the price and online play make up for it.

The handheld versions are being developed by a different developer (Klei is doing the XBLA version) so hopefully that will keep them from slowing eachother down.

And I think I need to add Undertow and Schizoid to my list, too. And maybe even Omega Five, now that I've caught a glimpse of that. I'm no good at narrowing things down.

Interesting that Klei is doing it considering they're an indie dev...now guns for hire. Interesting stuff!

I thought Klei also helped to port Outpost Kaloki X or Wik or something, but I can't seem to find any reference to that. Maybe I'm thinking of a different developer. Either way, I think it's pretty common for indie studios to do contracting work to help keep afloat.

If I remember right, Introversion has finally signed an outside developer to help them port games to different platforms... so, despite the fact that there have been no official announcements, I'm looking forward to any of their games hitting XBLA, especially Darwinia.
