January 19th I believe. Day after my bday is what made it stick in my mind.
Psalms 22:16 (1,000 yrs before Christ)

Isaiah 53:5 (700 yrs before Christ)
He was pierced for our transgressions
Zachariah 12:10 (500 yrs before Christ)
They will look on Me whom they pierced

@JaxonH I wonder when they'll release Octopath... It's been silent surrounding that one for quite some time now, practically since it was announced. We know Nintendo is keeping things under wraps. I wonder when we'll next get another direct....
Speaking of keeping things under wraps, I daresay they could do with some more sharing of info on what's coming.
Probably gonna let MHXX release, let Mario x Rabbids release, get most of September knocked out with Metroid, Rayman Legends, DB Xenoverse, FIFA, Pokken Tourney, MH Stories, etc. Then host a Direct for Odyssey, Xenoblade and Fire Emblem Warriors info. As for Project Octopath Traveller, I think that'll come from Square Enix. Maybe after Lost Sphear, Idk...

I think we'll see a Direct shortly after Rabbids comes out, so early/mid September, which would also be about a month until Odyssey - perfect time to get people pumped for the start of the Holiday season (yes, Holiday season now begins in October lol).
Plus, if they do one around mid September, they could probably get away with one more around Black Friday after people have had a month to digest Odyssey - could use it as a final reminder of all the other non-Mario games for Switch during the Holidays.
On a semi-related note, I was in the King of Prussia mall today (MASSIVE mall outside of Philadelphia for all non-U.S. peeps), and there were signs all over the place for Nintendo's "Summer of Play" event or whatever that would be happening next weekend. They had pictures of ARMS and Mario Kart that I saw, and the advertising was VERY visible. Pretty cool to see after the dark years of the Wii U. Really seems like they're keeping up the strong marketing campaign for Switch.
@rallydefault As they should, marketing makes sure those who are not in the know are aware regardless. New people to buy the Switch could also be those to buy third-party, alleviating the problem of all the testing.
@JaxonH I hope we get some localisation news, or SOMETHING from Capcom regarding MH for Switch in the West. If not, then I will not let that stand, after 3DS and Nintendo's crowd has supported them as well as they have, building the Western base on their back. I'll get MHW for my PC, but the grudge will be written in the book!
As for others, well, Nintendo has said frequently to have unannounced projects, and I await news of them with eager anticipation. I'm ready to buy more games for the Switch. I want my boxes to stack higher than my TV!
@Octane
lol - I honestly chuckled. Yea, I guess I never thought about the name too much, being so used to it. Most people refer to it as "the k.o.p." haha
In reference to WWE.... I haven't played a wrestling game from them in a LONG time. Is there a way to get older stars? Like through DLC do they offer something like that? Or is it just the select ones they offer?

I wonder, can Pokken Tournament be played with a stick, or is it not that type of game... I have it on Wii U, but I didn't play it too much.

@JaxonH A Japanese retailer listed it as compatible a while ago but then removed it later. What's interesting is that was before Pokken was even confirmed.
@OorWullie
Well, it was one of the only arcade games to not have a stick. Not that Dpad and buttons are much different than a stick. Just size is all. So I guess just common sense would tell me the fact it's using a D pad and six buttons on it's official controller means it'll work with a stick fine. Pretty sure the only reason they didn't go with one at the arcade is because they could appeal to more people with a controller.
But another part of me wants to play the game how it was originally intended which means buying one of those $20 wired Pokken controllers. There's just something about playing a game authentically how it was originally presented at the arcades. That's the whole reason I got the fight stick in the first place but for this game... maybe I will grab one of those $20 controllers.
edit
Ok, grabbed a preorder for the new black Pokken controller.

@JaxonH Is it as good as you hoped it would be? I'm really wanting one but I need to wait as I'm going back home for a couple of months. I'm mostly wanting it for the Neo Geo and Psikyo shoot-em-ups, love them. Namco Museum will be great with it too. I'll be using it for fighters too of course but I've only got 2 so far, Garou and KoF98. I stopped myself buying Samurai Shodown 4 the other, I'd rather save that for when I get the Rap-V. USF2 I was very close to buying last week, I just had to click "confirm purchase" but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I know I'll get it eventually.
@OorWullie
I mean, it's expensive. But I like it. I wanted to experience Ultra Street Fighter II like when I was a kid at the arcade. I don't regret it for a second. And I am hoping to get a lot more use out of it than just SF, although I was perfectly OK with it being just that game if it came down to it. But before you drop that much money I'd just make sure that you would use it... and if you would, then I think it's definitely worth it.
But you absolutely positively need Ultra Street Fighter II. That game is a must-have, stick or not. But even more so if you get a stick!

@Ryu_Niiyama Got a fun chance to stop by the honest to goodness arcade. Theyve set up an fg area now, that's new in the last 8 months. Just a few rows, plus a few neo geo games (metal slug 5 etc) got to play SFIV.... thought it was the "NEW" PS4 one then realized it's the 3DS one..... wow, feels like a totally different game. Was fun though. And for to compare my Hori parts to sanwa.... not as different as i thought. Sanwa is more resistant with increasing resistance, concave, and has that gloss finish. Hori is a little lighter and linear touch. Button caps feeling thinner with more slop is probably the biggest difference pin Hori.
They also had 3 SFII cabinets..... wired seeing that game next to SFIV, tekken 7 and MvC as legitimately equal. No wonder is $50 ON switch. It's not a switch tax. That's legitimately a flagship title for capcom in the arcade still. Its higher profile than the 4 slightly abandoned sfiv cabs sitting apart from all the other fighters
I think it has been and will be very well received as a handheld, that's what people expect from Nintendo judging by sales. As a huge plus, this time it's not light years behind tech-wise.
See the tempered glass screen protectors,are they bad for fingerprints?The one I've got on my Switch is a plastic one that came included with it it,t's really bad for fingerprints.It wasn't a cheap one though,I'm sure it was the same price as a tempered glass one,the guy in the shop wouldn't let me swap it though..I'll happily buy a new glass protector if it means less smears.
