20:18 is looking to be a great year for gaming we just had a bunch of awesome releases and there are so many more in store especially for the switch now we do have a lot of awesome games that we have no idea when they're coming out like Metroid Prime 4 or a new Pokemon game for the switch but there is a lot of stuff that is already hopefully aimed at 2018 we're gonna talk about the best of them starting with Donkey Kong Country tropical freeze this is one of the numerous Wii U games that got awesome views and no sales because well the Wii U was a very quickly dying platform and so now that we're getting a switch version it's probably going to outsell the Wii U's lifetime sales in a matter of weeks tropical freeze is a great return to the classic 2d platforming Donkey Kong stylings but with the ability to play as numerous different characters we always have their own little special abilities and the switch aversion in particular is adding one new character in the form of funky Kong which looks like so much fun if you missed out on this game that we you you definitely need to check this out when it comes to the switch sometime later this year next up is Dragon Quest 11 now this game did order to come out in Japan back in 2017 and arrived on the 3ds and the ps4 but it should be making its way to the US this year along with not only those two platforms but the switch as well once again giving us that nice little combo of having a game that can be handheld but still have some great home console style graphics if you don't played at Dragon Quest game before you've been missing out they are some of the best single-player RPGs that have this very kind of old-school feeling to them that's very very comfortable it's just the easiest way for me to put it you know they never really hit the same kind of huge cinematic style that Final Fantasy or their series went but instead just focused on this nice old-school style game that just is so much fun to play third up is the new Fire Emblem game exclusive to the switch coming out sometime this year and that is honestly all we actually know for sure about it right now just the fact that it is well a fire loom game and it's this year and that alone is enough to get me hyped to be honest I mean I'm a huge fan of the franchise firemen wakening was a great entry that came out a few years ago the ones after that were okay so hopefully getting a home console release version is gonna be a huge step up for the series game number four is Halle Knight now yes this is a game that is already out on PC and Mac but it'll be making its way to the switch which will not only be its console debut but more importantly its handheld debut which i think is a perfect fit for the game now if you haven't got the chance yet to play the game or even just read into it the basic idea is that Halle Knight is this Metroidvania style game with a focus on exploration defeating bosses but it also has this very heavy dark souls feel going on at the same time as far as its storytelling its world design all with the little paint thrown on in the form of everyone being bugs the game has an excellent difficulty balance where it is very challenging at first if you take the time and effort all of its bosses are definitely beatable as long as you can read the pattern and figure out what you need to do if you love 2d action games you cannot let this game pass you by and it's on its way to the switch sometime in the first quarter of this year next up we have another game that was originally released on the Wii U and is making its way to the switch and that is Hyrule warriors now this game came out on the Wii U it came out on the 3ds and each time they've added more content new stuff but what's gonna be really important for the switch version is that we're gonna be getting the Equality of a home console style game with all the content that got added three DS plus costumes based on breath of the wild this is another title that if you did not own a Wii U or you just never picked this game up you need to check it out these dynasty Warriors spin-offs that are featuring other properties are so much fun they're not exactly the most complex games but if you just need a great time killer where you can just mow down tons of enemies playing as your favorite characters from a franchise Hyrule warriors is something you have to check out then this brings us to Megaman 11 the series is finally coming back after being dormant for way too long and what Megaman 11 is planned to be a multi-platform game it just feels right having a son on a Nintendo system considering 1 through 7 all found their home back on the NES and Super Nintendo there have been a lot of imitators the past couple years have been trying to revive that old-school Mega Man spirit and while some of them have been real good it's gonna be great to have a proper core entry once again that's bringing back a lot of that classic Mega Man gameplay but something a little bit new and different all at the same time this is another game that we still don't have and exactly stayed on just yet but it should be arriving on multiple systems in the fourth quarter of this year next up is octa path traveler a new RPG from the same team behind bravely default which is this really interesting looking mix of 2d graphics in a 3d plane and a lot of classical style RPG combat now what's really interesting about this title though is the fact that there's already a playable demo out for it that screenings is used to gather information from people about what kind of changes they can make in fact they just released a video responding to these surveys and they're already giving us a glimpse at some of the changes they're making to make the game all the better so this kind of feedback for a title that is this kind of nostalgic love and this really awesome art style in mind super excited to see what the final product looks like sometime in 2018 eighth up is Travis strikes again no more heroes now No More Heroes is a franchise that originally made its debut on the Wii where it was a very very strangely vulgar and violent game to make its debut on such a kid-friendly system like the Wii and now with a switch with this approach being friendly to both kids and adults is the perfect time to bring this series back now details are still very skim about what exactly this new game is going to play like but if it's anything like its predecessors it's going to be a 3d action game with a focus on lightsaber combat and extremely crude humor the one and only trailer for the game also hints there'll be crossover gameplay elements from some other violent indie titles such as hotline Miami which is a perfect match made in heaven if you've ever played both of these series the point is is that this is going to be an awesome game to keep your eyes open for for sometime in 2018 next up is war groove now this is a multi-platform game so it's coming to PlayStation Xbox PC all that good stuff but it feels really at home on the switch because it's very very obviously a homage to one of the best games on the Game Boy Advance Advance Wars basically the creator's took the core concepts of Advance Wars filed off all the stuff that would make it Nintendo trademark put in a fan updated with some modern stuff like online multiplayer and the ability to do your own map editing to create this awesome turn-based strategy experience that I am so so excited for plus it has dog units which is really stupidly adorable well we don't have a specific release date to this one just yet you can look forward to seeing war groove sometime in the first quarter of 2018 then we have the World Ends With You final remix now this was originally a DS game that was absolutely insane to play in the DS because the entire core experience was based around controlling two separate characters at the same time with different control schemes using the DSS dual screens now that's no longer the case obviously because the switch only has one screen so be offering a different combat experience this time around along with this revised combat system and redone graphics this versions also going to be featuring additional story elements that were not in the original DS version now this is a game that you did not play before you should not miss out this time around it is an eccentric weird title very much unlike anything you've probably played before but it is so so good like most the games on this list once again we still don't have a hard release date just yet but it is planned for sometime in 2018
