So I was waiting for someone else to be the bearer of yet more bad news regarding AAA 3rd party support but nobody's mentioned it yet so I'll just have to do it.
Nintendo Switch Not Getting Middle-earth: Shadow of War
@Joeynator3000 Does that mean you were able to get a Switch finally?!
@SLIGEACH_EIRE@FGPackers Not surprising, despite Time Warner's status as a close Nintendo ally (then again isn't TWI basically Atari?), especially given the whole "Microsoft is a marketing partner" aspect. Feels like a Windows/XBox game to me. I'm not sure what that feel is. I love LOTR but I could never get into Shadow of Mordor. I wanted to. The idea of an open world Mordor sounded amazing. The industry loved it. But something about that game felt very, very "off" and I could never put my finger on it. I'm one of those purists who love the original book version of the story better than the slightly "modernized" movie version. The game sort of had more of the feel of Mordor as an open empty wasteland the book had. And yet it felt "off" and "hollow" somehow. I've always tried to understand what I didn't like about it but never quite could. Seeing the XBox name attached to it feels kind of right somehow. I'm hoping the sequel is much better, and yet, I can't see myself buying it for any platform, either. It also ran like trash on PS4, so I could only imagine how awful it would be optimized on Switch
COD direct would be....weird.... It's a big AAA title to get, but it also feels so.....old. Then again, Nintendo loves the kids market, and there's no way to capture the kids market better than COD and Minecraft!
Check Yoshi lookin' like a badass mofo in the corner.
RPGs are probably my least favourite genre, but I like the artwork and I don't fear this one bit. Be interesting to see how the blend of developers and franchises is fulfilled.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

The whole of Yoshi, Mario, Luigi & Luigi/Peach Rabbids is really awesome!!
It'd be very ironic if this replaces the traditional Mario RPG that Paper Mario used to fill. But as I understand it, this seems more like a Tactical RPG similar to the Fire Emblem games.
I love the Advance Wars series and the one Fire Emblem game I played but at the same time,I dislike turn based battle RPG's.I really didn't enjoy Super Mario RPG either when I played it on Wii VC.I hope this game is for me because I'm loving the look of it.
@DarthNocturnal No. FF was misconceived in every way. Came after years of pretty much no Metroid. Radical change in gameplay style that few wanted. Terrible art design.
The only thing that looks bad about this are the Rabbids. They ARE hideous and repulsive, but the rest of what we've heard sounds solid so far.
Currently Playing: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (NS2); Corpse Factory (PC)
@DarthNocturnal Nah, it's that Mario was angry at Sakurai for adding so many Fire Emblem characters to Smash 4 that the Mario series seemed overshadowed in comparison. Mario and friends then came up with the idea for a strategy RPG of their own to win back Sakurai so characters like Lakitu, Shy Guy, Birdo, etc. can be in the Smash 4 port.
But honestly I'd be happy if Fire Emblem became the most represented franchise in Smash.
