@rallydefault It's alright I think, but TP gets a lot better after the first few hours. However now you mention it, I always prefer the first few hours of a Pokemon game over the rest.
I'm very weird; I greatly enjoy the starting/tutorial areas of most games, even those that last an hour or a even a few. There's just something wicked fun about building up to the adventure to come and "learning the ropes" before you're set loose.
To this day, the Kokiri Forest and Deku Tree are some of my favorite parts of Ocarina, and sometimes I'll go back and start new files to play JUST that section. I've finished the game probably a dozen times or so, but I'll still do this.
(I'm hopelessly addicted to this in WoW - I'm that guy who creates new characters all the time, levels up through the starting zone, and then abandons the character.) I just love those beginning experiences, even stuff like Twlight Princess (herding and all).
I completely agree! It really sets the tone and atmosphere for the rest of the game for me, and gives me a chance to just enjoy the crafted world instead of jumping straight to the action where I may take it for granted.
Does anyone know if this run of Cave Story has the cd & booklet - or just limited copies?
I've ordered presuming they'll be included, but then realised that might be an assumption. I've contacted Amazon as it's not dispatched yet, but not sure if I'll get an answer in time. The product listing doesn't say either way.
@SKTTR Looks like we have a pretty decent month ahead of us! Splatoon 2 will probably receive a large chunk of the attention this month...but I'm keeping an eye on RedOut, Stardew Valley and Death Squared myself - look like really interesting games
I decided to hold off getting Fast RMX until I saw what RedOut was like - I'll more than likely pick up one or the other depending on the overall impressions I get from around the web ..Stardew Valley looks like the Harvest Moon game I always wanted - hopefully it's a good port and co-op is everything I hope it will be! ..and Death Squared looks like a fun little, pick-up-and-play, share-the-Joy(-Con) type-game - and so cheap it almost feels rude not to give it a go!
@SKTTR I think the only game I'll get from that list is Splatoon 2. Redout looks interesting but I can see my Switch activity this month being mostly BotW with MK8 Deluxe, ARMS and Splatoon 2 providing the multiplayer fun alongside it.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I kinda knew this deep down during the Wii U era: People were going on about how 3rd parties weren't drawn to it because it was underpowered, unpopular, hard to work with and looks like a toy. Of course, the Switch is no powerhouse, but it's fixed everything else wrong with the Wii U and is booming in popularity, and 3rd party developers still won't touch it until it somehow sells exactly as many consoles as its competitors. Well, the Switch got this far without their help. Maybe it can happen.

To be fair decisions about which platforms big AAA games will appear on are made well in advance of release. These third parties would have been deciding whether or not Switch would be on their radar when it was still called "NX". If decent sales can change their tone on Switch it'll be something we'll see in 2018's releases not 2017. Except indies, if Switch has won them over we'll start to see them pile on this year.

On the chance that you're actually serious, I really hope you're not. Annual franchises may come out every year but they are not developed in a year. The games are developed in parallel with different teams and sometimes different companies entirely.
It's like how Nintendo can release a big AAA game about every year. Them doing that doesn't mean that development on Odyssey started when BotW came out and they'll start work on Metroid Prime 4 when Odyssey is done. They're obviously being developed by different groups. But those different teams don't have to be working on different franchises. Nintendo could choose to release a new Zelda every year if they wanted.
