Most Anticipated Video Games of 2017: Sequels, Remakes and Adaptations
No, it's not you. There's a reason why many of the games you'll see below in part one of our 2017 preview (a second part, focusing on new IP, arrives later this week) may seem familiar: you saw them here last year, in our 2016 games preview. The good news? They probably won't get delayed again to 2018. You'll find those holdovers—as well as the most promising recently announced titles—in our gallery below, listed in alphabetical order.
What: The first Super Mario game for Nintendo's new Switch console. The 3D sandbox platformer gives Mario some new abilities (hat throwing!) as he ventures out of the Mushroom Kingdom into a variety of strange new worlds, including a bustling city. Nintendo has stated that Odyssey will be more on the "core side" (i.e., more difficult) like earlier titles such as Super Mario Sunshine. Expect a preview at E3 this summer.
When: Late 2017
