Topic: Nintendo Switch Selects?

Posts 1 to 11 of 11

So, for anyone who doesn't know, Nintendo Selects are when Nintendo takes a select group of games, and lowers the price to $20 (£15.99). So I was wondering, what does everyone think will be some Nintendo Selects for the Switch? This is looking ahead a bit, as I'm sure these won't come any time soon, but it's fun to talk about these things.

Personally, I think that Super Bomberman R might be one, and possibly ARMS once the Switch is nearing the end of it's life cycle.

A little early to say, but one I doubt is Zelda, unless another game in the series overshadows it somewhere down the line.

I can see the Wii U ports (Mario Kart, Pokken) becoming budget titles. Maybe Arms as well.

From what I've experienced it's only games that sell well over 1 million units that have a chance to be re-released with the Nintendo Selects brand.

@Buizel I agree with Zelda. I don't think that'll ever be a select. I also agree with the Wii U ports being selects in the future.

I think we have another year or two before sales slow down enough to need a budget title but I'll bet Zelda and Mario Kart as well as DX XI in japan (squenix has a discount line as well).

Even though they're not out yet, I'd bet Yoshi and Kirby will be 2 of the first Selects. I think the Wii U only started receiving them towards the end of its 3rd year although I might be wrong on that. By that time Yoshi and Kirby will be around 2 years old.

@OorWullie Yoshi and Kirby actually seem like good candidates for Nintendo selects.

To revive this thread, here are my new and improved opinions on what might be Nintendo Selects.

Arms
1-2-Switch
Super Bomberman R
Puyo Puyo Tetris

I'd say these'll become Selects in late 2018-mid 2019.

For the record, Wii, 3DS, GBA and Wii U received selects starting in their fifth or sixth years.(DS didn't have any selects strangely enough, GC was back in the player's choice era and I don't have dates). As such, I wouldn't expect select titles until 2021 at the earliest.

That said, the most likely titles to receive Selects releases are more than likely: Legend of Zelda: BOTW (The big launch title pretty much always ends up in the selects line). Now, Nintendo's thrown a few curveballs into the selects line since it was rebranded from Player's choice (Pikmin 2 in NA on Wii debuted through that notably), but for the most part, they're all million sellers. So 1-2 Switch, Mario Kart 8 DX, Arms, Kirby and Yoshi are the likely titles that it'll debut with that have been announced so far.

I doubt bomberman would make the cut to be a select, but I do see it being a discount bin game at some point. its very likely that most of the big nintendo games will get it, but its probably still years off

I doubt Bomberman will make it, since it was a bit of a niche game at launch. I can see MK8DX going the Selects route in the future, though. Maybe Zelda, since Wind Waker HD became one in the Wii U.

The one I'd doubt with they way it is selling is Odyssey. Its attach rate is insane.

I have a chronic lack of time, for everything.

Now playing: Okami HD, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
