@Spoony_Tech How ye getting on with Gear Club? Has it scratched that arcade driving itch? I'll probably go for it myself if I see it coming down in price but last time I checked on Amazon it had actually gone up. Maybe that 90's Arcade Racer/Super GP will arrive before, or then again probably not.
I've been really enjoying Mantis Burn Racing. I think I've already put 10 hours into it and it's just getting going. Great game!
@OorWullie I do keep coming back to it which says something. Usually I'll play a game to death and never go back to it. I spend a lot of time trying to beat other online racing scores and that alone can be addictive. Graphics get the job done and there's enough meat there to hold anyone's attention for quite a while. Still think the price is a bit high but I've got my money's worth. Now if there was something better announced then I would most definitely wait but I see nothing quite close to this.

@Spoony_Tech Persona 5 was announced in 2013, and it released in Japan last year, but it was in full development since late 2011. SMT V will be quicker as Atlus now has HD models for almost all of the major demons, but it didn't seem like it was very far in development when they announced it at the beginning of the year.
2018 is a no go. 2019 is possible, but I wouldn't be surprised if it got pushed back to 2020.
@OorWullie I see your point, a decent lineup for 2018 so far but nothing standout or eye-catching the way Odyssey or BotW was. But as other posters said, Nintendo could announce something in early or mid 2018. Also, my gut feeling is telling me Nintendo is keeping one game as their heavy-hitter for Holiday 2018. Not sure if that's Pokemon or another game (Metroid seems like the heavy-hitter for Holiday 2019), but I feel like Nintendo will definitely have a first-party standout game released holiday 2018. This is the same gut feeling that's predicted the Switch would be a success and predicts that the Switch will ultimately sell about the same or slightly more than the 3DS but less than the Wii, so I'm trusting it haha.
If Retro's game is confirmed for 2018 and blows our socks off, that will be yet another bombshell game.
Well, apparently they've been working on 'Untitled Project' since 2014 or something like that - so maybe it's due? It feels like it's due. ..surely? ..please? ..pretty-please-with-bells-on??
@NaviAndMii@EvilLucario Yeah I forgot about Retro. Whatever game they're working on would definitely qualify as a standout release, and it does seem due for a release next year now that Zelda and Mario are out. Wonder what they've been working on that's required this much time? Hopefully a new IP.
@shadow-wolf Yep, there will be a heavy hitter for holiday 2018 that we don't know about yet. I also think there will be another for the summer, a new IP that will take us all by surprise. I'm confident they've got a huge 2018 planned,it's the console's 2nd year and history shows that's normally when a console comes into its own. That line up above just doesn't cut it for me. It needs a lot more. However that line up with a handful of first party games (2 biggies and 3 smaller) plus something like Bayonetta 3 and Retro's game mixed in with some big 3rd party games on top,then it's looking rather stellar. If the rumours are true that Nintendo hope to shift 25 to 30 million Switch next year then it's going to take a line up similar to that with Pokémon in there too, to achieve that. Nintendo said there will be some "non-traditional Nintendo titles" next year, so I think I think it's safe to say we're in for a few surprises.
My gut instinct tells me we're going to see a few big online/local multiplayer focused games but not the kind of games we would expect from them. This online subscription is going to be a big thing for Nintendo going forward and it needs new games to support it. A port of Smash 4 and Animal Crossing isn't enough. I'm going into fantasy land here but here goes. I'm imagining one of these online games is going to be a new sports game.Not a traditional sport though, something futuristic, perhaps quite violent,more Rocket League/Speedball 2 than Mario Golf or Strikers. Something like this could certainly be classed as a "non-traditional Nintendo" game. Nintendo are never easy to predict though, so I'm probably miles off. Regardless, I'm confident we're in for a few shocks when they do reveal their line up for 2018.
I’ll be honest.... I don’t want to see anything from retro that isn’t a new IP. They are too talented to be stuck on DK or anything else Nintendo has in the back catalogue. I want to see something new and modern inspired from them. More than likely this is not going to happen but I can dream.
Doesn't have to be a new IP per say. They could reinvent an older franchise kinda like Nintendo did with Kid Icarus. I could see something we didn't even think of showing up again. After all they did reinvent Metroid to a degree and less so DKCR.

@Spoony_Tech I would love to see a Nintendo developer be let free to do something original and just add diversity to their catalog. I know splatoon and to a degree Arms have been successful new ip’s but they fit the mold of Nintendo gamers. I would love to see something out of the box like project hammer th canceled Wii game.
Seems Skyrim is back up to #30 in Amazon Top 100 Video Games caretgory. I've noticed it's slowly climbed its way back up this past week, just kept getting higher and higher. Soon it will be in the top 20 if it doesn't slow down.
I also noticed something really strange... FIFA 18 broke the top 100 again. I had a feeling that game was going to have legs. It's got to be doing way better than any other FIFA on a Nintendo console has. A slow burner for sure.
Xenoblade 2 has been sold out for days now. But I think that might be more representative of Amazon failing to stock adequately. They've been having real problems lately.

Ya, I was telling people days ago WWE 2K18 was going to release this Wednesday.
Wal-Mart sent me an email saying it was shipping out December 6th. Two days later they confirmed it.
I am buying it because A it was $21 off at Wal-Mart and B NBA 2K18 ended up being a grade A release, so I trust this one will either be fantastic out the gate or (the more likely scenario) patched up to perfection by year's end

Oh, and there’s a fix for some motion control issues as well.
Ooooo! I've been experiencing the dreaded 'gyro drift' fairly regularly since the day that 4.0 (or whatever the last one was called) dropped...I didn't get it at all before, so hopefully that's what that means and it's been fixed/improved! **fingers crossed!**
^ This. Any improvements are always welcome, but the drifting motion control(bow) in Skyrim were getting annoying. Let’s indeed hope this gets fixed by the latest update.
