@OorWullie @Grumblevolcano They already said Kirby was a spring title. So March at the earliest, possibly/probably not until April.

My predictions:

January - nothing
February - Smash Bros Deluxe w/ online service.
March - Project Octopath Traveler
April - Kirby Star Allies
May - ???
June - ???

Not expecting Yoshi or Fire Emblem until the second half of the year

No and no. That is both not happening and would be a pointless risk. And a terrible idea.

More mature doesn't have to mean language and extreme violence and sex. Doesn't even have to mean rated M.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE well what is the point if you can't transfer files off the switch and no I'm not uploading this [removed] to Facebook.

@MegaTen I think it'll be a "Switch" line of Switch games like how the Wii had games like Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Music, etc.

@Inertiacreep You can transfer screenshots by inserting your SD card from Switch to PC so I'd guess it would work the same way. And they may have some other solution built in the app. Something like Flipnote Hatena back when it was a thing.

Check out my Gaming Nonograms thread here on Nintendo Life if you are into Picross or other similar games.

They also had an app for the 3DS and DS. I mean it's a music creation tool and all of these devices had a headphone jack. So I think it's pretty clear how you're supposed to "transfer files" from it.

Music creation software on the go might be nice. I bet the Joy-Con are more comfortable than a keyboard.

They're going to want a decent January game to keep the momentum up after Xenoblade bombs.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What makes you think it'll bomb? There's a dedicated fan base for the series. I'm hoping it does better than XCX. If it could hit a solid million again like the first game I think it would be a success.

There's a lot of people excited for Xenoblade 2, myself included. I wish more people would pay attention to it but, at least it's coming.

Xenoblade isn't anymore niche than the type of game Mario + Rabbids is.

@IceClimbers
Than the type of game Mario Rabbids is. But it's most definitely far more niche than Mario + Rabbids, by virtue of the fact Mario is the game.

Xenoblade is a JRPG which, for the last 2 entries, has hovered around the 1 million mark. XCX did slightly less on Wii U, but not by much when you consider the install base was only 13% as large. That's the key sign of a niche game- one that doesn't really sell much more despite having 100 million or 13 million potential customers, whereas Mario Rabbids will sell more as more people buy the system.

It deserves to at least match the ballpark of Fire Emblem (2 million, give or take). As does Metroid. We need more core fans who buy and play these core titles.

@IceClimbers Mario makes it not so niche.

@JaxonH I was being mostly tongue in cheek, though I think there's an element of potential in it too.

I can't speak with much authority on this, as I still haven't unsealed my copy of XCX, but that game had more hype going for it than XC2 does, primarily because of the wilderness the Wii U was in. Wii U owners looking for a reason to stay interested in the thing had slim pickings.

As much as I've seen people excited by XC2, I've seen people who have bought one or both of the XC games, (like me, though admittedly I only bought XC when it released cheap on the Wii U eshop) and have decided not to buy another one.

The shame of it is the game could be so much more appealing if they changed two aspects - get rid of levelling-up by picking on wild animals minding their own business, and make the combat full action based like Monster Hunter.

I don't know, I don't really think there's anything wrong with fighting the wildlife. It's pretty common in games. And I think the battle system is its greatest asset. This is a JRPG after all. It's just a different type of experience and a different type of battling. I don't doubt full action combat would be more popular- it always is and that's why you see more and more JRPG's turning to real-time combat like Final Fantasy... but the game already does have real-time combat, so it's not like it's turn-based or anything.

I thought Xenoblade X was the best JRPG I've ever played. Or at least one of the best. I never played more than a few hours of the first game. But the combat is definitely what made me love the game- it's something different and I love that because so many single player RPG games use the same approach.
