@RobertAGamer Compare to the 3DS and you'll understand why people think the Switch UI is empty and boring. On 3DS there's themes, badges and folders which allows you to customize your console a lot.
@Grumblevolcano I like that the Switch keeps only the important futures and doesn't include extra features that could potential reduce load times and performance. You don't actually need a themes, badges, and folders to enjoy your Switch. You just need a fast responsive os that lets you do what you need to do without extra things clogging up your time and system resources. With that said Nintendo should in the future add an option to turn on and off folders along with themes. With all of these being optional to turn off and on.
We can expect more indie titles to get physical with the opening of Super Rare Games, a UK based publisher who aim to bring an eShop title to the Switch each month in print runs limited to 5,000 copies available only from their website at a fixed price of £29.99 plus shipping (or local equivalents in Euro or USD), along with even more limited editions containing extra goodies.
Their first title will be Human: Fall Flat, which will be released on 9th March. 500 limited edition copies will also include the game's soundtrack on vinyl. All copies will have a trading card, with a random 125 copies having cards signed by the game's developer.
A further two titles are in the pipeline, but they are holding their cards close to the their chests as they only intend to announce these games a couple of weeks prior to release.
Hmm, was kinda hoping we'd get the burnout remake. Oh well, let me know when you want my money EA.

The Mummy Demastered has been updated with a smoother frame rate, shorter load times, and re-balanced death mechanic! Switch version adds all new HD Rumble!
This update includes:
Initial load time has been drastically reduced.
HD Rumble added to Nintendo Switch version
Revamped the death mechanic:
> Health Packs regained from Undead Agents default to full
> Weapons Regained from Undead Agents have more ammo
> Undead Agents health more fairly balanced, based on number of Health Packs they are holding
Health drops are more fairly balanced
Spawn Frequency of Bats, Ravens, and Spiders re-balanced
I just found it really infuriating that the game would give me full control for all of the mundane sections - but whenever anything cool happened, they'd take control away from me!
Yeah, that's also my biggest complaint about ND's games. They relegate the busywork to the players, but never give them enough agency to do anything that might muss with the game's precious pacing, especially in crucial sequences.
While I don't agree that the Uncharted games require little in the way of interaction (they do during gunfights and puzzle sections), I would agree that they're cinematic to the point where they feel like they're constantly railroading the player in certain directions all the time, which is incredibly unappealing.
Never liked Uncharted, and have never played one I didn't lose interest in. And I've played most, even the one on Vita.
Being Sony's top franchise, it's kinda why I never cared much for their games. God of War was always decent, never great, Killzone and Resistance were meh... only in recent years have they finally started making some games that truly excite me. Shadow of the Colossus, Horizon and The Last of Us are all great games. More of that, less of the rest.
Anyways, I got the new Skull & Co Gripcase for Switch, and it's amazing. SUPER comfortable, still docks (It's a tight fit but it does fit) and the case is the PERFECT case I've been looking for that can house both a Switch + GPD Win 2 (or Switch + New 3DS XL if you prefer).

@Grumblevolcano Yeah, seems like, as I guessed they would, that EA were saying to themselves the following:
Switch version of FIFA outsells at least the Xbox One version, it becomes worth it
If it doesn't, then it's not a market we want to do with.
It was all or nothing with them, that much is evident.
As for other companies, Capcom continues to be crass and/or stupid depending on the game, like with the Mega Man news.
Activision...has said nothing even before the system launched, only putting out a single title on launch day that required Skylander figures. Good move there. Great way to get your foot in the door. Especially since Skylanders went on hiatus not long after, so they wanted to sell a port of a game that requires significant investment to a new market to judge their future support of that market...and then effectively said "We wont be making more for this game as a platform". Great way to spin the blame on the consumer like they inevitably will.
Ubisoft and Bethesda seem very happy. WB will give us LEGO as usual, probably nothing more. Square is happy, though it'd be nice to see that mythical Switch version of DQ11 before it gets localised, just saying. I know they are having issues with UE4 on Switch requiring a newer version of UE4 that changes some things, which has Nintendo in a "It's outdated, requires too much effort" problem, vs a "It's too new and requires too much effort" problem. Can't win.
Outside of that, Bandai is in. Platinum is happy. SEGA seems happy. ATLUS as usual is happy along with NIS.
It's the western parties that are being fickle b*******.

I really hope all of these performance updates means Nintendo upped the clocks of the gpu cpu. I know I am dreaming but that is three performance updates in the last week and a half.
@Grumblevolcano Nintendo will never receive the full amount of third party support, no matter the console, especially from EA. I feel they have already written the system off, like Take 2 probably have as well.

I'm still waiting for EA to announce even 1 new game for Switch. You know it's 6 months since the Switch version of Fe was announced, which really they've little to do with other than publishing it. It's over a year since FIFA 18 was announced for Switch. That's it, in all that time they've committed to nothing else.
EA came out on stage and made a pretty big deal about FIFA 18 coming to the Switch but have pulled support ever since. Certainly reminds me of the Wii U. Except it's only EA... Right?
Never played Burnout Paradise. I loved the first Burnout on the GCN.

Burnout 2 on Gamecube was even better. I loved that game. It's right up there as one of my favourite games on the system.
