On the Nintendo side of things, I just want a solid release date for the Wii U, as well as a list of confirmed launch titles. I was one of those people who waited 12 hours in line to get the original Wii back in 2006, so I want to know when to go and queue up outside of my favorite electronics store. I personally love Nintendo's 3DS, so I'm holding out hope that we'll finally get a portable version of Super Smash Bros. announced at this year's E3. Oh, and Half-Life 3, but only because I feel like I'm required to say that.

What I Don't Want to See: I really, really don't want to see a Nintendo 3DS redesign, but there's still a chance that we'll hear about a 3DS Lite or something similar in the next few months. I also don't want the rest of 2012 to turn out like 2011, where nearly every other game was a shooter and only one or two titles were released in other genres. Using a grenade launcher to blow up a guy is fun for only so many times before it becomes repetitive. If has taught us anything, it's that there are plenty of other genres you can make good games in (even if they don't sell particularly well, unfortunately).
