@YummyHappyPills That's on the Blizzard side, which I'm pretty sure operates independently despite the Activision merger

@IceClimbers They may operate independently but they are the same business entity. Therefore, Activision Blizzard.

I'm not a fan of Call of Duty, I enjoyed playing Modern Warfare with my mates on their Xbox back when it came out but being a Nintendo gamer that was basically my only experience with the series until I bought Black Ops 2 for Wii U. It was on sale for under £3 and I knew I'd have some fun with the campaign and I did but once with was over it was forgotten.

However, watching my nephew playing BO3 and WW2 a lot, I have to say the zombie mode is really well done. If one ever came to Switch Iikely pick it up for that mode as well as the campaign but only after a heat discount. FPS just aren't really my think
Absolutely the old school gameplay of Doom though.

@Pazzo-ZaFool It's a yearly huge seller, notable for driving console sales around launch in the busy holiday period and a mainstay of the more frugal gamers who only buy one or two titles per year.

Quality aside, the fact a publisher like Activision Blizzard continues to skip the system, especially with releases they've bent over backwards to release before in years past, shows small the system is in terms of estimated revenue for them.

They obviously didn't hear that Nintendo are aiming for "EVERY SINGLE PERSON" (and every other creature with opposable thumbs, I imagine) to own a Switch...when they achieve that unlikely target - which I have no doubt they will - Activision-Blizzard will come crawling!

Um... guys.

May I remind you all those games rumored for Switch like South Park, Crash Bandicoot, Undertale...

They just happened.

I'm willing to bet a favorable sum that these newer rumors of games like DB Fighter Z, Diablo 3 and COD BO4... are likewise coming to Switch.

They'll just be announced later once everyone is thoroughly convinced they're not coming. Just like Okami and South Park, etc. Then one day, out of the blue... BAM. We have had some very reliable and confident sources tell us these games are coming. I'll eat my hat if these games don't make the Switch. And my boots.

@JaxonH I would say I would hold you to that, but I am seeing a lot of people regretting similar proposals regarding a Smash announcement and doing asinine things so....

@JaxonH Gosh, in the excitement of it all I'd almost forgotten that we're getting Okami HD - thanks for reminding me! Man, I just can't stop grinning! Fab Direct!

@YummyHappyPills

The only ones regretting their proposals are the ones who were betting that Smash wouldn't come.

It was leaked and rumored just like these other games were. Where there's smoke there's fire. Switch is a gold mine right now. Activision is gonna get CoD on Switch this year. And after DB Xenoverse 2 blasting the sales charts (probably working on pushing close to a million copies by now) bandai Namco is going to do everything in their power to get anything Dragonball related onto Switch, and probably any other anime-based game (eh hem, like Naruto)

@NaviAndMii
With motion controls, with touch screen support...

Capcom righting the wrongs of their lack of faith. Doing us nice and proper

Nintendo Switch, the ultimate port-machine. Well, at least it's great for those people who only own Switch or love portability that much, but for those who can own these games elsewhere, holy crap, bring out some water, because it's a barren time alright.

July will absolutely murder my wallet. I want both Captain Toad and Octopath, and both look wonderful.

Though, this was a bit more focused on third parties... So it means E3 will have plenty of first party projects. Its gonna be insane!

I have a chronic lack of time, for everything.

Now playing: Okami HD, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

@Grumblevolcano Don't forget Sushi Striker in June.

@Dev This Direct didn't really give anything concrete past July. Willing to bet Yoshi will be an August game with it's title and date revealed at E3. Probably alongside some Wii U port lol

Did anyone see the rumors for Retro's game based on an updated employee resume? Apparently the employee described the game as having "world building and non-linear storytelling." Here's the link to the Switch reddit where they discussed it: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/82u5en/retro...

My hunch is that this could be Nintendo's answer to traditional single-player AAA games like Uncharted, Horizon Zero Dawn, etc. Something a bit more realistic with a heavy emphasis on a good story. This would definitely be interesting to look out for

Non-traditional storytelling sounds great. I'd love to see Nintendo's own spin on storytelling. Retro knows what they're doing with both lore (Metroid Prime) and gameplay (both Metroid and Donkey Kong), I can trust them with such a game.

Metroid, Xenoblade, EarthBound shill

I run a YouTube/Twitch channel for fun. Check me out if you want to!

Please let me know before you send me a FC request, thanks.
