I'm rarely paying attention enough these days to really get excited what's coming out (unless they're really big name games) but some of these you mentioned sound very intriguing. I didn't know they were making a new Alien Hominid game! I played that some much on the GameCube, especially the four-player PDA game. That was surprisingly fun.
I've heard a lot about Hades lately and I definitely want to get it sometime. We're finally getting good roguelikes these days! And I can't believe you missed Blazing Chrome! It's really good.
Yeah, see, I can't move on to a new game unless I finish what I'm playing or decide officially that I'm putting it down and probably not coming back to it. (My brain, thankfully, is ok with having multiple games in progress, though, as long as I am indeed making progress on them.)
I'm planning to play all the Shantae games. I got Seven Sirens for Christmas and am just waiting for Half-Genie Hero to come in the mail.
My brothers and I played so much ClayFighter 63 1/3 as kids! Still the best occurrence of Earthworm Jim in my opinion.
It is a painful realization that one cannot play all the games lol. I was well into adulthood before I accepted that fact 
I've found it easier in recent years to skip digital games on sale unless I'll play them right away. I've bought so many digital games and come to realize I probably won't actually play them. A good deal on a physical game though...I still struggle with that! lol
I'm sure the new Bravely Default will be quite good, though I won't be getting it right away. Gotta spread out these huge RPGs! I do love the art for Octopath so much more though.
I had wanted to get that one for the PS2/Wii back in the day but never got around to it. Glad to be giving the series a go now.
I've been waiting and waiting for secondary jobs to open up in Octopath and just discovered today that it isn't based on your level. There are shrines hidden out in the world that unlock the jobs once you find them. So make sure to explore those more open areas between towns!
Gosh, so many cool sounding games I didn't get to play! I had forgotten about Drill Land. I really want to get that. I've never heard of PONG Quest but I'm sure intrigued now! And you are not the first person I've heard sing the praises of Streets of Rage 4. Really need to play that.
It's good! I'd say just stick it in your wish list and wait for a sale. You should try it. I didn't have any major complaints.
