Yeah, and that's all stuff that is coming up in the next 6 to 9 months so why talk about it now? Controlling the message is important for most companies, be them Nintendo or other. I am not sure why people consistently expect any company to spill all the beans and then get mad when they don't but I am playing my 3DS right now and waiting for Zelda and that's pretty good as far as the next two weeks are concerned.

I don't understand how Nintendo hasn't had a direct between Jan12 and now. Still so much up in the air like how past VC titles will be handled.

Why spend money on providing new information when you're already selling through all of your initial run and a legion of streamers will do it for you right at launch?

Yea but they've also released some oddly specific details like "free 1 month trials of NES and SNES games with online play" that no one asked for, meanwhile they have people sitting on the fence waiting for things that should be mentioned already. (Not me, if they slap their logo on dog poo poo and tell me it can run Zelda and Mario I'm there). I get not confusing the message, especially with how the Wii U was handled, but I don't think anyone who cares enough about digital rights transferring over is going to get very confused when those details get released.

They could literally put it in the fine print somewhere on their website and some gaffer would locate it, make a post about it and the question would be answered with no real message loss from Nintendo.

Seeing all these awesome indie games being developed for the Switch makes me want to finish developing any of my (theoretically) awesome indie games... for the Switch!

But I imagine that costs money.

Wonder how long 'til people get PC drivers for JoyCons, at least. I might tailor my control scheme around those regardless.

Just go to toysrus an hour before opening on launch date.

They never did any pre orders so will have a good number of them.

That is your best bet by far.

The last time anything was available for more than a few minutes was over a month ago. All nowinstock will do is send you an email that you have just a few moments to get in on. Unless you monitor the site 24/7 you are probably going to miss out. Go to TRU.

What you don't get is it's all part of the game plan to sell millions of switches. When you finally slide that credit card at the closest in stock switch 300 miles away your soul will depart earth the ride home will feel like an eternity and when you finally open up your switch slide that Zelda cart in and toil through a vast empty Xbox 360 gpu quality open world with 4 temple the emotional release will be unprecedented

That towerfall not-sequel looks dece, the ghouls and ghosts thing looks okay but a bit muddy. We'll see.

I really wish nintendo would bring back the seal of quality or something similar so we don't end up with the same amount of shovelware that 3ds/wiiu e-shops have. It's a chore to scroll past all that poo poo and find worthwhile games.

The seal of quality was never a measure of how "good" a game was, it was to ease late-era Atari fears of buying a game that would literally not play on your system. The seal just meant "this is a product that will run correctly when put in ur NES".

I remember when the guy who wrote that had a literal meltdown over the first Wind Waker trailer.

A lot of fans really wanted this franchise about fighting a giant pig man to be this super serious and tragic epic that would prove games could be art.

Their last update said that they're now considering doing a Switch port instead of a 3DS port, but the WiiU port will come first.

It's a mountain climbing platformer from the people who made TowerFall, which is actually a game that'd probably work very well on Switch 'cause of the JoyCons.
