Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Ryu_Niiyama If Nintendo can keep this release momentum right through next year I dread to think how many games I will have bought by the time 2019 comes around.There's certainly no let up this year so I'm expecting to have at least doubled my library by the end of the year.I'm not complaining,it's great but my bank account and social life are in for a real fright.

What kind of conferences if I may ask?

@Luna_110 We do have dates for September though.

Lego Worlds - September 5
Rayman Legends - September 12
NBA 2K18 - September 19
Pokken Tournament DX - September 22
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 - September 22
Lego Ninjago Movie - September 22
FIFA 18 - September 29
One Piece Unlimited World Red Deluxe - September 29

Pokken DX is obviously the big game.

@JaxonH No Sonic Mania?

@OorWullie Nintendo needs to keep this momentum going, with one big game per month, it's going to be what keeps the system selling as that is the main reason people buy Nintendo systems. The question is, will Nintendo have any big hitters spread throughout the year now that Zelda, Mario Kart and Mario Odyssey have released this year?

@FragRed Agreed,it's crucial they can keep this momentum going throughout next year but I think they can.I remember one of the higher ups talking about this being a 2 year plan .I'm sure it was in reply to being asked about why the launch line up was so small after not putting out much for the 18 months previous.I can't see how they can top this years big hitters but I'm sure Nintendo haven't played all their cards yet,they'll have something big planned for next year that we don't know of yet.

We know of Kirby and Yoshi,Animal Crossing is likely,Smash is inevitable and probably a new Mario Maker too and perhaps a sports title from Camelot .Retro will have something ready surely and Platinum will bring a game or 2.There is likely going to be Odyssey DLC and maybe MK8D too,as well as the continued support of Splatoon 2 and ARMS.There will be a lot of focus on the Online service and hopefully a new and improved VC.So with all that and the promise of Pokemon and Metroid coming after,I think they have enough to make it a successful year.If the theory is correct that 3rd parties were late in getting dev kits or were just waiting for a bigger userbase,we should have a good few 3rd party titles too.

I think 3rd party support next year will depend on the sales of games like Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Skyrim. I don't see 3rd parties wanting to support Switch if even collaborations between Nintendo and 3rd parties flop.

@Grumblevolcano Assuming Mario + Rabbids reviews well, I can see that selling 1 million. It's already gaining a good amount of hype. Plus Ubisoft have stated that they still have unannounced games coming to the Switch.

I honestly think that FIFA 18 will sell well for the Switch. Don't underestimate the power of FIFA in Europe.

Well I'll be damned. This is scalping gone too far. A few guys seemed to have a warehouse load of of NES mini and Switch consoles.

The worst part is that people are stupid enough to buy them too.

Games I purchased got during same length of time since purchase for me.....

Switch: Mario Kart 8, Arms, Breath of the Wild
Wii U: Nintendo Land, Assassin's Creed 3, New SMB U, Need for Speed Most Wanted
3DS: Rayman 3D, OoT 3D, StarFox 64 3D
Wii: Wii Sports, Zelda Twilight Princess, Wii Play
DS: Mario Kart DS, Brain Training

3DS and DS I didn't get at launch. I think it's fair to say that I'm in a similar boat to you in a sense. The Switch is the first console I've had where I've got this many quality games this early on. Especially if you take into account the casual games, bundled games and ports of fairly old games on other platforms.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Bout 2 months late bud

Nintendo of America need to get their finger out and update the "coming soon" section on the Eshop.It only has 4 games,Pokken,Odyssey,Minecraft Story mode and the newest addition,the game every one is waiting for, Troll and I.If you were none the wiser you'd think that is all that's coming.Compare that to the UK Eshop which currently has 22 games in the same section and is updated regularly. Games have been appearing on there before the media knows about them.It's worth checking out every other day.

@BLP_Software Ya, silly me. Didn't realise it was an old video which I'd already seen myself as well.

Batman: The Telltale Series Listing For Nintendo Switch Appears Online

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Just like Guardians of the Galaxy huh.

@OorWullie Yeah my bank account is having a panic attack right now. "Put the credit card down Ryu, don't make me cut you off!!!"

This year? North American Taiko Conference and then two PASS (professional association for Sql Server) conferences (I might just order the recordings for one since I'm going on my own time and my PTO is looking a little light). Next year I'm going to Evo as well. Moving out west agrees with me.

@OorWullie The NoA coming soon section doesn't even have Mario + Rabbids?

@Grumblevolcano Nope no M&R on there, I meant to mention that. That's really bad!

When and where i can download that Splatfest software, eshop has nothing.

E: Thanks anyway. My money thanks too
