I'm fine with From software doing another fantasy or gothic horror thing. I just want bloodborne 2.

I want to see a From software game with the same aesthetic that Automata has. Futuristic, robots that kinda thing.

I wanna see how they can take their sword type combat and tie it to a future theme.

I specifically wanna see them go back to what they did in King's Field (2 in Japan) where it's all proto-souls in terms of aesthetic and atmosphere and then at the end You touch a weird cube thing and are teleported inside of a tron-lookin maze filled with cybernetic demons and cybernetic antlions so that you can kill proto-kalameet and regain the sword of moonlight, all while avoiding all of the missiles and lasers being shot at you

A very bizarre area. It'd be neat to see them try to make an entire game with that sort of aesthetic.

If voice chat is now supposed to be done via a smartphone app... how will that work? Wouldn't that make it difficult to listen to the actual game?

Easy. You hold the joycon with your two hands and with your third hand you hold the phone.
One could also sit on the phone and communicate via finely timed farts.

Maybe they can make the tablet itself hook onto the phone and pretend to be a wireless headset, so that you shout at the screen.

My Switch wishlist (switchlist) at this point, because the only announced games I really care about until summer are Zelda, Bomberman, and Puyo Puyo Tetris:

Actually good virtual console support where we don't have to wait until the end of the console's lifespan to get games I actually want.

Some indie titles and stuff on the e-shop that aren't present in the current release schedule. Like, we're supposed to be getting that new version of Shovel Knight with the co-op campaign, but it's not up on Nintendo's "coming soon" page yet.

Monster Hunter 5 in 2018.

I'm guessing if Zelda is 3 hours a game like puyo puyo or virtual console will be closer to 6.

What's most amusing about all this, and what most of posters here don't see for some reason is that the titles like the lovely FIFA, COD, Battlefield, Asscred and other annual AAA poo poo is what makes or brakes the console these days. Most customers don't give a gently caress about any niche series or any new series for that matter. They buy the game box that plays all the aforementioned annual AAAs with the shortest loading times and mostest pixels and rarely get other games. Wii did really well but it was during the Gimmick Age, Guitar Hero sold millions in those days. WiiU showed that these times were clearly over and now Nintendo are making basically the same mistake twice in a row.

So yeah, most consoles have lovely starting lineups. But most also have the annual megasellers in their library and I'm not entirely sure if EA and Activision really want to use their time and money to make games for Switch.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

A Eurogamer editor is claiming that Switch FIFA is based off the PS3/360 Legacy edition rather than the modern PS4/XB1 versions.

Does From Software have any plans for this thing? I know they're making at least three games right now: Armored Core 6, one that will "comply with the expectations of the fans in a straightforward manner" (probably Souls/Souls-like), and "a very weird game." One of them is for PS4/PSVR (probably AC6).

The 3DS has more games overall but the Wii U still has a lot of great exclusives. NSMB Wii U, SM3DW, Tropical Freeze, Bayonetta 2, MK8, Smash bros, Wonderful 101 (if you're not bad at games), Pikmin 3, Windwaker and TP HD, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Yoshi's Woolly World, Captain Toad and I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff.

Perfect Wii retro-compatibility and most of its library being available in the eshop for about $19 is also a big deal if, like me, you almost skipped the Wii. The Wii U is, unironically, the best console of its generation software wise by far provided you own a gaming PC.

EDIT: dont get monster hunter generations unless you like playing an incredible game on a tiny baby bitch screen with terrible textures and resolution
