Def! Dude loves video games, Sony exec or not.

Mario Kart, which is basically just a port with a few new bells and whistles, won’t cause players to jump from Wii U to Switch. Splatoon 2 is still a relatively new IP and again won’t cause loyal nintendo fans to buy a Switch. So far only Zelda at release and Mario in the fall will attract many people. Why there is no…

Come on now, the PS4 had Knack. Knack! And if Knack wasn’t an amazing game, would it have gotten a sequel? Didn’t think so! ;)

And yet this launch lineup is superior to the PS4's, and they’ve already got a better list of games lined up in the launch window than the PS4 did.

I think Zelda is a heavy hitter though, so I’m not concerned by it. Plus, when’s the last time a Nintendo console launched with more than one first party big game? The Wii was a huge success, but outside of Zelda TP wasn’t it a similarly weak launch lineup? And the following month you have Mario Kart, a couple months…

Launching with a slew of their popular IP’s doesn’t make sense for a console launch in March (traditionally a time when people aren’t spending a lot of money and still in the throws of the Christmas hangover).

And let’s make our notoriously garbage-tier online service paid now!

thats just the known releases so far. now that the press embargo is gone, you’ll (hopefully, if the wii u hasnt damaged the relationships too far) start to see a bunch of 3rd party devs anouncing games

This schedule is the biggest reason I’m holding off on purchasing the Switch.

It didn’t even occur to me until today that you could play a standard game with the JoyCons not attached to any grip. I really loved having my hands feel separated with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck, so combining that comfort with a more standard controller layout has the potential to make this my favorite controller.

Wait, Shin Megami Tensei was obvious?

Because ps4 xbone controllers aren’t ridiculously priced. Go fuck yourself hypocrite.

It’s apparently done by the same team who did Bravely Default/Bravely Second :O

There needs to be a game made about the translator that had an existential crisis during the No More Heroes announcement.

What about Octopath Babble Babble? That game looked HOT, even with the garbage name. Seems SE is going traditional route with Nintendo and I’m OK with it.

Not F-Zero.

Street fighter 2 hd remix with dynamic battles caught me completely off guard and gets me kind of excited.

Honestly...It’s been decades since I played Earthbound (haven’t touched it since the SNES), so I might as well be a guy who is starving in front of a McDonald’s; that shit is going to look good to me, regardless! ;)

Yup, that’s the problem. I’ve had a 3DS since launch and am not willing to re-purchase for Earthbound and a couple other games (since I rarely use the 3DS as-is). The DS version would be ideal, but I’ll settle for the Switch one, if it comes.

This is false. The GameCube was roughly as powerful as the Xbox, and more powerful than the PS2. If you ever played Resident Evil 4 on both GameCube and PS2, this fact would be self-evident.
