79 Mega Man 11

Release date: late 2018 tbd

Or is it Mighty No. 9 #2? Like that hugely disappointing, crowdfunded 2016 game that was modeled after the 30-year-old Mega Man platformer franchise, Mega Man 11 ditches the standard 2D pixel-art style of its predecessors in favor of a more modern 2.5D look. Fortunately, early glimpses suggest that Capcom's execution is a bit stronger.

This first numbered Mega Man game in eight years (out this year for all three consoles plus PC) isn't the only treat that fans can expect in 2018. All eight Mega Man X games will be released for PS4, XB1, and Switch for the first time this summer. (They will also get a PC release.)
