The augmented reality Pokemon game for Android could have been AR Pokemon Snap, instead we got a Pokemon game with no gameplay. In the Switch game, you'll look for Pokemon in the wild and then have to just watch them watch TV or something instead of being able to photograph them.

The best Tetris game ever made is The New Tetris for the N64, both for the extremely cool music and the ability to turn 8x8 block combinations into bronze or silver cubes that garner you extra points. Easily my favorite puzzle game ever.

This is objectively correct, but have you ever played Disney's Magical Tetris Challenge? Also on N64, great music of a different sort, and if The New Tetris is a perfect racing sim, Magical Tetris is like Mario Kart times Carmageddon. It's strictly vs., and the garbage is increasingly insane pieces. You start out getting some 5-block tetriminoes, so you can do interesting things like get a 5-line Tetris, or Pentris. But eventually it gets to 3x3, 4x4, and even 5x5 blocks that you just have to hope you have room for, and if you survive that it'll give you horrible monstrosities like big triangles and diamonds.

Games tend to be a lot shorter in that one.

So, how about a Mario/Rabbids crossover turn based role playing game?

http://letsplayvideogames.com/2016/11/report-ubisoft-developing-rabbids-mario-crossover-rpg-for-switch-launch-day/

I think i would buy that....

edit: Also, apparently Pokémon Sun and Moon will launch for Switch according to Eurogamer:

I hope it gets pretty meta with the fact that the Rabbids aren't content with just trying to ruin Rayman's franchise but are trying to branch out and infect other franchises.

They're more virus than vermin.

It was originally supposed to be a Mario and Sonic crossover RPG but Mario read over Sonic's RPG credentials and past work and called the deal off.

You need to be a badass first.
Minions are the only thing worse than Rabbids, but so long as they keep the annoying Rabbids to a minimum, I might tolerate it

More excited for the third version of Sun/Moon being Switch-exclusive though

the only way that will be ok is if in the first 30 seconds Mario hits a pow block that launches all the rabbids on the planet into the sun and you never see them again for the rest of the game

Welp, with pokemon moving over I might have to actually pay attention to this. Guess this means it will have wifi to make trading and online battling a thing.

Also hoping for a handheld part only/no dock version if its really replacing the 3ds.

The original DS, back in 2004, had wifi.

It's a checklist item now. It's not a feature, it's a given.

Remember a month ago when a bunch of websites were down like Twitter? That was caused by a botnet of internet of things... you know... poo poo that shouldn't have wifi but does, like your washing machine, thermostat, weight scale, or refrigerator.

A Nintendo console has wifi? :monocle:

I don't doubt it'd have one, just that the preview trailer made no notice of one.

Sun/Moon coming to switch was pretty obvious to me via the lack of 3D alone and Nintendo would be doing a disservice by not porting it to the Switch.
