Lots of great games, lots of 3rd party’s, decent amount of 1st party, lots of new games with a handful of ports, looks like it’s going to be a good PAX! I wish I could go to these, but ya know... life.

@TheTetrisGuy Yeah same here...my brother will be working at the show, so hopefully he'll get the chance to play some of these awesome games. Meanwhile, I'll be at home dreaming about playing Crash and Dark Souls on Switch while studying for college exams...ah, such is life.

I wonder how far away Wolfenstein 2 is from release? If they're ready to show it off I'd guess not long. May is already pretty packed but then so was November when Doom released. June probably more likely.

@OorWullie If they're showing it off to the public rather than just the press, I'm sure it's pretty close to release. And a May release isn't entirely unfeasible either; if I recall correctly, Doom's release date was announced about a month before its actual release. So they could announce the date in a few weeks to make May if they choose to. But given the glut of ports in May, it may (lol puns) be better to reserve the game for June.
Regardless, though, HYPE for another AAA shooter on Switch! Can't wait to see how it runs, and whether it's an improvement over Doom.

Wolfenstein II is gonna be key to a lot of future big budget third-party support going forward, imo. If that game runs relatively well on the Switch with little complaints, then I have a great feeling about third-party multiplatforms also targeting the Switch.
