@YummyHappyPills Good release date for that game. June is looking solid: BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, Sushi Strikers, Mario Tennis Aces, and Ys VIII. Not bad at all.
Right now the games I'm planning on getting is looking like:
March - Kirby Star Allies (already out but getting later)
April - Nothing
May - DKC Tropical Freeze, Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition
June - Mario Tennis Aces
July - Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, Octopath Traveler
TBA 2018 - Smash, Yoshi, Fire Emblem
TBA - Metroid Prime 4, Bayonetta 3, Pokemon
I have such a large backlog from last year that I may skip a lot of 3rd party stuff I want.
Holy moly... Now that's hype. Seriously, that's hype.
Tons of grear fighting games piling up too.
Ultra Street Fighter II
Street Fighter Collection
Blazblue Cross Tag Battle
SNK Heroines
Blade Strangers
Fantasy Strike
Super Smash Bros
Neo Geo fighters up the wazoo
Also on the topic of PS4, it's a viable platform and as such is going to get some good games from time to time, just like Switch. Difference is, when Shadow of the Colossus releases (a game which released on the last 3 Sony consoles in a row) it's heralded as a groundbreaking must have, while games like DKC Tropical Freeze release (a game which has only appeared on one previous console and is every bit as good if not better imo) they're brushed to the side as "games we've already played" and thus aren't exciting at all.
Bayonetta 2 is every bit as hype as God of War, in fact it you ask me, I haven't seen one snippet of GoW gameplay to get me excited, and the game was never as good as Bayonetta in the first place. But because it has a massive budget behind it people are hyping it up, because big budgets get hyped. Bayonetta 2 is a ported game but to anyone without a Wii U (ie 90% of gamers out there Nintendo is trying to draw in) it should have been just as hype. But it's not as big budget and thus doesn't get the hype. Regardless of how many dozens of perfect scores it received. GoW may very well turn out to be a gem, but I have no evidence to convince me of that as of yet. Which is why it's barely registered on my radar. Not looking for another Naugty Dog styled game. I would have been excited had it followed the Bayo action style of previous games but, it's being rebooted into goodness knows what. We'll see though. I have it preordered so, I'll see for myself soon enough.
And that's not to downplay PS4 (or X1), it's to up- play Switch. Alot of Switch games get swept under the rug while anything with a marketing campaign on PS4 gets the royal treatment. Graphics and budgets sell games. But Switch has a killer lineup these first 6 months- Bayonetta, Bayonetta 2, Kirby, Hyrule Warriors, DKC Tropical Freeze, Dark Souls, Y's VIII, Mario Tennis Aces, Captain Toad, Octopath Traveller, South Park, Okami HD...
That's a freaking mind boggling lineup imo. Some highly praised, top shelf games in that spread for sure. Most all of which are the first ever handheld version (it was exciting just getting a 3DS/Vita version in past years, how much more exciting is it getting first ever handheld entries in HD included with the full console versions).
More credit should be given to how many great games are coming to Switch, and with such high release density. Imagine how poor and starved the library would be without the sweet back catalog of greatest hits? That's the juice there. We'd be sorely deprived without all these excellent games being compiled onto Switch, which if it wasn't justification enough just being great games consolidated onto a current platform, the fact they're all portable seals the deal.
I couldn't be happier. The only ones who are constantly comparing to other consoles, pointing fingers saying "uh, you see, a good game released and Switch didn't get it! Oop, there's another one!" are focusing on the wrong thing. As long as Switch is getting plenty of great games (which it is), is selling well to ensure support continues (which it is)... who cares about the rest. Basically, there's plenty to be happy for without trying to nitpick everything you're not getting (although I take no shame in saying I'd like every game on Switch, it's perfectly normal to see other platforms get good games too- if they weren't getting good games too I'd be questioning their futures)

What do you guys think are the chances to get a D&D Chronicles of Mystara port on Switch? I have it on Steam and I would love to have it on Switch too.

@LuckyLand It feels like Capcom are slowly coming around to Switch. Anything that came out on the WiiU will probably end up on the Switch eventually. We might even see Disney Afternoon Collection and DMCHD Collection one day...maybe...
I never drive faster than I can see. Besides, it's all in the reflexes.
About a month ago a date a miner found a list of about 200 games supposedly coming to Switch. When it was first shared most people didn't pay it any attention but since that time at least a dozen games have been announced and confirmed from the list, including Sonic Mania Plus, Mark of the Ninja Remastered, Undertale, and Division 2 (which has not been announced for switch but was announced after this list went public).
So there is some serious credibility to be given here.
Take a look. If it's correct, it shows the 2 new Pokémon Switch games and 2 remakes, Overwatch, Division 2, Fortnite, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, even Monster Hunter World. And notice Fire Emblem Mutiny is on the list... I know we've heard that name from a previous leak before.
Of course some of these could be announced and released after the other versions (which is often the case with Switch versions of games, especially since a lot of them were already well under development by the time they decided to make a Switch version)
@subpopz
I get the hype, for me at least! I love Shadow of the Colossus. It's one of my favorite games, and I never got to play the PS3 version. But I agree on a macro scale. I just think Switch games, in general, deserve a lot more credit and hype than they are given.

You can't really compare full-priced ports of decent last-gen games to an affordably priced and utterly gorgeous remake of one of Playstation's most enduring classics.
Imagine if Nintendo took Super Mario 64, fixed up the controls, made it look at least as good as Mario Odyssey, and dropped it on Switch for $39.99. It'd be COLOSSAL.
But I don't think $20 accounts for the difference between being one of the most hyped up games ever and something quickly swept under the rug, especially when the $60 Bayonetta included the first game free (and was really only $50). Of course it didn't need to be remade because the game just released a few years ago on similar powered hardware. It looks as good as it can already, same for DKC.
edit
I also don't think it's even remotely similar to Mario 64. The original SotC didn't even sell a million units out of 150 million consoles afaIk
