Animal Crossing inc. Train to zone.

(Everquest people from back in the day? Anyone?)

Hopefully Smash 4 Switch and P* stuff.

Watching a game of FIFA 18 on Switch. It's actually this RedCube episode from Nintendo EU that I happened upon. And... I'm really into it! They've got 2 player local coop with single Joycon, heck they've even got local wireless where each person uses their own system, no internet needed.

That's legit.

Oh spam, I just realized I'm in central time now. I gotta get home fast, it starts in 25 minutes!

I've never expected Bethesda to support this hard. You've my kudos, Bethesda.

Did that just happen?!

..DOOM?!

..WOLFENSTEIN?!?!

!!!

DOOM?! WOLFENSTEIN II THE NEW COLOSSUS?!!!

THANK YOU BETHESDA!

So no announcement of Sonic & Mario Olympics or Mario Party (but apparently that Mario Party remake was somewhat true). However, even the NEW games shown appear to been for the holiday season.

Only thing that got a window release was Kirby into next year, so guessing March for that. And we have a December/January Direct after this, so I assume that we MAY be seeing a drier first part of the year from Nintendo as for what we know now. I mean... This year has been pretty heavy with nonstop releases on Switch from them since launch.

Man now i want The Evil Within 2 for the Switch.

I dislike playing shooters on consoles, due to just wanting mouse support, but I will stand by their decision to put Doom on the system without pause.

My highlight was Lyn for FE Warriors though it's very reassuring that Bethesda is supporting Switch more than just Skyrim.

Current gen, AAA ports!! ..the upper limit of what to realistically expect on Switch just got pushed up a notch or two for sure!

The only highlight for me was the new weapon in Splatoon, and hearing that there's more unknown Kingdoms than we already know about for Odyssey. But it sounds like a lot of other announcements got people excited, and that's cool

@NaviAndMii Doom is a technically strong title of what I know, so consider me well and duly baffled.

This was a grand direct, and a great showing from Bethesda. However, Capcom disappoints, but I've already expected as such.

@UmniKnight Well I'll be doing my bit to fill Bethesda's pockets and show these other publishers what they're missing! I'm staggered by those announcements! ..guess we can take my 'dock expansion' idea and throw it out the window!

Hybrid DOOM! Hybrid Wolfenstein! ..game changing!

So much games I want... I'll be broke and probably divorced before end of the year

@NaviAndMii Doom coming, considering it's technical implications, has me question what is truly the limit. Doom is a GOOD looking game. What more can we expect? I held my expectations low, but Bethesda has shot the ceiling off.

Does that Fallout 4 retailer listing seem more likely given Doom's technical implications?

good looking game? probably one of the best looking games. at least on pc on highest settings

@UmniKnight I still have my reservations as to whether it'll hit 1080p/60fps - but, saying that, I'd happily take a slight resolution hit to have it on my Switch - no doubt about it! ..who knows, maybe games like Overwatch and - dare I say - Fallout 4 (!) aren't totally out of the question after all? (..not any time soon though, hopefully - my wallet can't cope!)
