What game or games that have come out were you most hyped for, and how did they pan out?  I tend not to get particularly excited for any specific release, but for myself, I'd have to go with New Super Mario Bros. as topping that list.  2D Mario after a 15-year hiatus was amazing.

Right now there's a lot upcoming so it's hard to narrow in on anything.  What about everyone else?

Animal Crossing: City Folk: I was super hyped for this game, but, ultimately, it was a let down. It's a good game marred by a stupid design decision (animal tracks) and the general been-there-done-that-before feel.

Super Mario Galaxy: I was massively hyped for that game, and it lived up to my expectations. My only complaint: No Yoshi. Sad Thankfully, that will be remedied in the sequel. Happy

Right now, I'm very hyped for Forza 3 and NSMB Wii.

I can only recall being hyped for two games ever. The first was Halo 2.  I don't know, for some reason I was pumped about that game forever, like before it had even been announced.  I think by the time it came out I was over it already -- needless to say I was one of the masses who were dissapointed with the end result.  I do want to go back and re-play H2 next year to see it with fresh eyes and make a final judgement of it.

The other game I was hyped about was Uncharted 2, and as I've already gushed in several places in this community, the game is everything it is cut out to be.

There's a lot of games I'm looking forward to, but the only one I can say I'm genuinally hyped for would be Epic Mickey.  Right now that's a game to camp out for.  I'm sure as more details come forth it will be less exciting, but right now I'd do anything to get a copy of it.

Other notable games were:

Super Street Fighter II - 4 new characters and new moves and background stages for existing characters.  What wasn't to like?  I devoured every magazine that so much as offered a picture of that game.

Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland - It ended up being a letdown, but the first 3-D cell shaded Harvest Moon looked incredible.  This was actually the first game I ever pre-ordered.

Dragon Quest VIII - Barring the move from Link to the Past to Ocarina of Time I don't think any series ever made such a dramatic jump from  one installment to the next.  And after I got my free demo I was completely sold.  And to date this was my favorite game of the last gen.

Counter example Little King's Story.

Have barely played it, first want to finish the crappier games.

See?! Ice cold.

When it was announced as being made by the A -Team head honcho's AAA talent Soul Calibur team, I was hyped for Legends. What a rotting sack of crap it turned out to be.

Oh man there's been a pretty good number of games I've been hyped for. Some of the most notable ones were Gears of War and Gears of War 2 which both delivered in spades. Halo 3 which also delivered although I was really hoping for an epic boss battle with Gravemind. Halo 3: ODST which I was very happy with but I was disappointed that it didn't have matchmaking for Firefight. Street Fighter IV which definitely turned out awesome except for most of the character's endings. Resident Evil 5 that turned out to be excellent.

Most hyped had to be Twilight Princess. I loved every minute of the pregame hype and loved every minute of the actual game.

RE4 was up there as well.

I actually enjoyed SC Legends. It's highly repetitive, and they certainly half-assed a bunch of stuff, but I still enjoyed it. In many ways, I like it better than the other SC games. Granted, I only paid the $7 rental fee to play it.

Brutal Legend: Better than I expected, I was I expecting a lot. Perhaps the best licenced soundtrack in a video game, ever.

Borderlands: I was overhyped for it, and ended up slightly disappointed because of it. I still might buy it due to the amount of gameplay.

Uncharted 2: It's been getting 9's and 10's (and 21's) everywhere, so I was expecting to enjoy it more than Arkham Asylum. It's a solid game, but I was more blown away by AA.

Dragon Age Origins.

(Wow its soo fucking easy to bold and underline stuff here!)

This is being labeled as a spiritual succesor to Baldurs Gate 2: Shadows Of Amn, one of my all time favorite games. I have had the collectors edition preordered now for longer than GG has been a virgin (!) and I can't wait for it. I love the style and character development of Biowares titles, they are second to none for storytelling and character development.

That's interesting. I forgot about AA, I need to get that one for Christmas.

Well I picked up two games I was very hyped for today, Forza 3 and Tekken 6. By all accounts they should both satisfy me quite nicely especially Forza 3. It sounds like I'll be a little bummed out on the quality of T6's online mode but that's something that could be fixed sometime. My next big hyped games are Dragon Age and Modern Warfare 2.

Thats one of those games that I think I am just afraid to get into. I loved KOTOR, liked Jade Empire, I know I would like Mass Effect, so I like the company. This game seems too PC for me, I'm scared that I will not like it. But I guess I should try it right.
