I could see another Zelda coming to Switch after the DLC drops but I think it’ll be a coop game or Zelda Maker.

Nah just give us a new top down Zelda like Link Between Worlds. I'd play the poo poo out of that.

I could've sworn they said something about doing a Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask situation, where they reuse the engine and assets from Breath of the Wild and get another Zelda game out relatively quickly.

Pickle: Inspected.



The difference between front roll and back roll isn't as simple as "one way is correct." It's a combination of many variables.
* Do you play one-handed video games on your phone while taking a poo poo?
* How strong is your toilet paper's perforation?
* Is the roll free hanging or up against a wall?
* Do you only have the use of one arm?
* Is the roll opposite of your dominant hand?

You must choose based on your situation and to deny others of this basic human right is nothing short of fascism!

They don't have to top it. But trying to get through the next 5 years with a previous gen MK, a previous gen Zelda a Mario that came out 6 months after launch is probably not going to work.

They are going to need another Zelda and another MK and a new Smash. It's great that they front-loaded the first year of release. They also needed to do this to get the thing in peoples living rooms. Now they need to keep it up or they will eventually peter out. Can't rest on their laurels.

And again, MK8 is not a current gen game. It's a rerelease of last gen. They need a NEW one.

They have Metroid Prime 4, Yoshi, Kirby, and a core Pokemon game announced and still en route. The Switch has some indomitable first party support for quite some time to come and if it keeps coming like it has been lately, then Nintendo has nothing to worry about.

Eh. Switch is a system I wanted but things like above were pretty big turn-offs. Zelda wasn't even a consideration since I was one of 12 people that had a Wii U, leaving someone like me looking at a bunch of 5+ year-old indie PC games that can be had for a few dollars (but sold for $29 or more on the Switch).

I'm excited for Mario, but after that, there's not much I'm excited for. However, the current-gen Nintendo system usually is a decent compliment to a gaming PC or one of the other consoles.

I hope you're not insinuating that I'm trying to be smug or disingenuous in the discussion. Just because I'm worried or skeptical doesn't mean I secretly hate the Switch. Plus, I never ever thought Switch would be DOA or would have a bad launch (3DS pricing aside, most Nintendo launches have been pretty solid I think).

As the 3DS finishes up all the first party teams and studios will move onto the Switch and handily fill any gaps between bigger budget titles.

I think MK8D is a fine game to stick with if they just want to release new tracks and add-on features, they don't really need to recreate the engine and graphics just to have the same characters and different maps when they can just release new maps. Odyssey looks great. Zelda was amazing (even if it was on WiiU as well). Metroid and Kirby next year, and definitely a SSB in the future. Add in a sequel to Odyssey and another Zelda and they are already pretty close to the Wii's level main staples, let alone the WiiU's. Just have to add in some of the others like a Paper Mario (or other RPG), Warioware type game, etc. Third party support is already off to a great start.

A big factor will be how they deal with the 3DS and Switch. If they keep a smaller handheld that is separate from the Switch, then it may thin out some first party titles. However, if they replace the 3DS with a Switch mini (smaller, lower res screen and fixed controls) that plays the same library, then you'll see a pretty sizable number of first party titles on this thing. Same as well if they just ditch the handheld altogether since the Switch functions in that area as well.

I have a feeling they Switch's predecessor successor will run on similar architecture that will be BC (like bumping up to an X2 or better), like the DS/3DS situation, so the libraries will blend together.

That would mean Nintendo would have crazy good output for all of their studios, which would be good. I'm A-OKay with Botw-3, Pokemon Gen 9 and 2 full AC games on switch.

But, yeah, I would hope that happens eventually. I love how GBA-SP and 3DS bridge all the handheld generations pre-Switch.

Every Nintendo console up to the Wii U has a good dpad. Every non-Nintendo console has bad dpads.
