Ya know even as someone who liked the Switch already I was not sold on having a huge lineup. Seeing this list for year one..I'm actually more excited!

Also I never got Mario Kart 8 so :toot:

You get a month to download them for free... sounds like the same system to me.

I read that as "Download this game and you will get to play it for free for a month, and after that, you no longer have access to it". Being that they are loving up everything else with this, I am sure they are loving that up too.

Nintendo didn't charge for multiplayer when I received an SNES for Christmas as a small child! See, this is why Nintendo has completely screwed the pooch and why they're doomed to fail forever.

Nintendo didn't charge for multiplayer on the WiiU. Also Nintendo's online stuff has been really lacking, though the 3DS estore is decent enough in design.

So with a little more info I'm still at the same spot- I have like zero reason to buy this thing until some limited-userbase-time multiplayer game (it's Spla2n) comes out and that's happening in the summer

Hopefully by that time we'll also know more about when the other games are coming out for the thing and they'll have the supply-chain issues sorted as well so I can just go pick one up.


As for there being like no games at launch I feel like this is every console. There hasn't been a real reason for me to pick up a console at launch in... ever.

How? Other than Zelda nothing looked good and it basically showed how out of touch Nintendo is with modern gaming experiences and how they're botching their new console that's supposed to replaced their worst console since the Virtual Boy.

I understand rose-tinted glasses or being naïve, but good loving jesus.

Yeah, see, I don't understand why they're releasing good games like ARMS, Splatoon 2, and Super Bomberman R. It looks terrible.

I still think the presentation was pretty good but I'm not happy with the cost of accessories and paying for online. Also not happy about full price Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with no discount for people that had it on Wii U. That voice chat thing is the stupidest poo poo since I might as well just call or Skype my friends like I did playing Wii U games with my friends.

I'm looking forward to more announced games coming out on this than anything on PC/PS4 this year so I'm not too down on it.

I'm sure Splatoon 2 will last longer than your average online shooter so even then there's no rush.

Launching with Zelda, MK8 Deluxe the following month, Splatoon 2 in the Summer, and a brand new 3D Mario hearkening back to 64 and Sunshine for the Holidays, along with ARMS, Fire Emblem Warriors, and Xenoblade 2 coming soon. And that's not even mentioning all the third party stuff like Skyrim, Disgaea 5, Bomberman, Sonic Mania (which I'm extremely happy about), new Shin Megami Tensei, Shovel Knight, Ultra Street Fighter II, and Yooka-Laylee, among other games

I'm earnestly excited for all of this and think this is gonna be a great year for Nintendo. It's fine if you don't think otherwise but you could at least not be a buzzkill and try to ruin people's enjoyment and anticipation

So is Splatoon 2 basically Splatoon Deluxe? A couple new maps and new weapons? I guess you could say the same about every other FPS multiplayer online game though

No, that reads that you only get to play them for a month and then you don't have access to them.

Splatoon 2 looks decent and I haven't seen Bomberman yet, but ARMS looks terrible.

Not to dampen your enthusiasm too much but at least 1 of those games you listed (most likely 3) will most definitely not be releasing this year.

Saw the Super Mario Odyssey trailer. Seeing Mario run around in a realistic city is a surreal experience. The other levels look gorgeous though. Also, lol at the hat throw. I am happy we are getting another Mario 64/Galaxy style game.

While I'm probably not going to buy a Switch on launch since I always wait on new console releases will definitely be picking one up for that game when it launches. Plus, I need to see this mysterious new console in action before I considering dumping money into one. In the meantime I'll be happily snapping up Wii U games for cheap.


Is Nintendo doomed with the new console? The is answer is they've always been doomed since the N64. Alienating 3rd party developers and making weird consoles is hurting them in the long run, but I don't buy Nintendo consoles to play AAA games, that's what my PC is for. I buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games.

Looking forward to throwing Mario's hat around all the wacky worlds he'll be visiting Holiday 2017.
