IGN Nintendo's Most Anticipated Games of 2008 7) ASH

If you blinked, you might have already missed this little-known game's Japanese release. (I think Japan might have, too.) ASH stands for Archaic Sealed Heat and this is an RPG developed by Mistwalker (you know, the studio headed by Hironubu Sakaguchi, who created the Final Fantasy series) whose storyline encapsulates everything from a mythical flame to the afterlife and time travel. Sounds wacky, I love the art style and the combination of turn-based strategy and RPG elements has my interest piqued. Only downside? The game was widely panned by Japanese critics. But hey, Metroid Prime wasn't exactly a critical blockbuster in the homeland, either.
