Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Harmonie Mine seems like it'll be collecting dust as well, unless I can be convinced by games like Tropical Freeze and The World Ends With You, the latter I know nothing about.

I'm pretty hopeful for E3. I just hope there's at least a couple games revealed there for 2018 that I actually want to buy, like Animal Crossing or Smash or something. If not, there's always the PS4, which is looking a heck of a lot more interesting to me than the Switch is right now when it comes to 2018 games. There are several games there that I want to buy this year, especially since I didn't get a whole lot of 2017 games for that system and I want several from that year as well, but right now, there's nothing for the Switch. Just a few "maybes".

I'm sure we're getting even more games in Q1 and Q2 that we don't know about yet. For example, Doom's announcement came 2 months before its release and Fire Emblem: Echoes had 4 months in-between. I'm personally not worried in slightest. They showed pretty much as many new games as they do normally, they just left out all the new trailers and explanations of games we've seen millions of times to make it shorter. They didn't even show 3DS at all even thought there are still games coming for it.

Another thing Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition existing gives hope for is a Woolly World port. It likely wouldn't be 2018 because of the new Yoshi game but maybe 2019?

Niiice. TWEWY, Kirby, DKC, SMO, and Dark Souls.

Looks like I know where my budget's going.

I found it a good one. Date for Kirby, some interesting ports, that Mario Tennis looks as though it could be a swing and hit game, and a few other things.
Time to get on that Dragon Quest Builders demo, I think.

I thought they'll do direct next week, and boy I've never been more wrong than this one.

Anyway, decent direct. Surprised to see DKC: TF gets ported to Switch, and we learn more about Kirby, Star Allies. Remember, it's a MINI direct, so big games are saved for E3 this year.

@Octane Can you do me a favour and allow me to edit Arena of Valor thread?

Dark Souls is my 2018 Skyrim. Never played it and man, cannot wait to.

Man, we get a ton of major ports in a Nintendo Direct mini (including DARK SOULS), and people in certain corners of the internet are acting like the Direct sucked. Then again, people acted like the January Presentation last year sucked as well, and that blew me away.

Then everyone praised E3 while I... was somewhat underwhelmed by it.

I don't understanding the gaming community sometimes.

@Ralizah It's the internet people will always find something to complain about. I thought this was great and jam packed with a ton of game announcements yeah some we knew already either said by Nintendo or leaked. But i'm extremely excited for 2018 the only disappointment i have from the video is no mention of the online service i feel like they need to put out some info on that asap. Really looking forward playing DKC Tropical Freeze with Funky Kong and even Kirby if i just play solo then i'm probably gonna get Megaman 11 and Megaman X Collection depending on the prices.

@canucksfan989 I guess this is what happens when everyone goes nuts expecting major first-party announcements in a Nintendo Direct.

Since it's a Direct Mini, I expect they'll have a full-fledged one in the next few months. Still, there were a surprising number of cool ports announced here.

@Ralizah I'm not sure, either a full Direct in March or a Fire Emblem specific Direct within the next 2 months.

Pushsqaure are reporting that Japan PS4 is getting the Dark Souls Trilogy this summer exclusively, don't know how that will affect the Switch getting the other two.

I'm reading a lot of people in the Nintendo community being disappointed in this direct,well i guess that's what you get for hyping this direct to high hell with expectations that will never be meet.

I agree. This is one my most anticipated 3rd party games. Dark souls on the go sound to good to resist. Payday 2 might be fun as well with co-op and all. Kirby looks pretty great. Mario Tennis looks like back to form + new mode. Some interesting indie titles and lovely looking games like FE. Cool looking updates/DLC for existing games.

So far so good.

@Farmboy74 I imagine the only factor that will affect whether or not we get Souls 2 and 3 is how the original performs.

It's the trilogy box set which is exclusive I think.

Another thing to notice is Pokken DX disproves the theory some have had about Deluxe versions = no DLC which suggests MK8 Deluxe DLC is still possible.

Yeah, there was nothing mindblowing, but there are a few things I'm looking forward to getting.

• Kirby is looking good as ever.
• YS VIII is good from what I've heard (as a big JRPG fan, it was probably the highlight for me)
• Hyrule Warriors DX is a suprise, and I've never played any version of it.
• I'm also kinda interested in that SNK Heroines fighter, too.

@Azooooz What do you want to edit?
