I agree with the first sentence but that's how consoles launch buddy.

I guess it can't be as bad as WiiU's launch. Splatoon, MK8, a 3D Mario, and Zelda are a better linuep than another NSMB, Mass Effect 3 Gimped Edition, Darksiders 2, and AssCreed3.

how so, 16 more new tracks or more is nuts. that brings up the total to like 64 from 48 total, the biggest assortment ever by a country mile.

OK, my dream launch title would be Super Mario Super All Stars Switch.

It contains SMB, SMB2, SMB2lostlevels, SMB3, SMW, SML, SML2, SMW2 Yoshi's Island. nSMB1 nSMB2CoinWorld.

And all of the older ones done up like their SNES counterparts. And it would be on memory as part of the OS.

It would be stupid if they didn't do it. Pokemon Sun/Moon runs like trash on a regular 3DS, and the Pokemon models are HD-ready.

Surely it's only a matter of time before they launch a Pokemon game for Switch. 3DS is going bye-bye, Wii U is in cold storage and the mobile games are about as deep as they can be. If it's not Stars, it'll be the next gen of mainline Pokemon game on Switch.

Because these things are designed to be a normal combined controller first and the split controllers is a bonus for small Multiplayer games.

You aren't going to be playing like zelda or anything with those things.

If they did this it would be only as a special edition console for like $100 more and implemented via a download code that expires midway through 2017, or however long it takes to be invalid just before scalpers stop strangling supply

The 3DS has grossly outdated hardware, and considering that the Switch is probably going to have about the same level of third-party support their previous console had, they can't afford to split game development across two platforms.

if we're talking about insanely stupid things that would help inspire a purchase, I'd absolutely be stoked if Ogre Battle 64 appeared on the Switch/WiiU whatever eShop so I could play it literally anywhere

It would be the best launch lineup in gaming history, and it's not particularly close. Here's hoping!

Dear Nintendo,

Pikmin Switch please. I'm preordering this poo poo regardless of what happens tonight unless you have to i dunno give up a gallon of blood on purchase or something and even then I'd probably think really hard about that and then jab the needle in my own arm to get the blood out but it would be really nice if there was a new Pikmin game.

so they should abandon making their games work on the old 3ds so that they can focus on making them work better on the new 3ds?

I don't know why people think that there won't be a port of Pokémon Sun/Moon. People who have dug around in the files found that models and textures are HD ready and the graphics are down graded from another version to run on the 3DS
