Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Octane July 13th according to an accidental early announcement.

@Grumblevolcano If that's true.

Probably, but still.

Went ahead and bought Wild Guns Reloaded from Walmart for like $6 more than MSRP.

Thanks for the heads up, whoever that was. Maybe more stock will come in later and it will be sold for less but I'd rather not take the chance over a few bucks. I didn't actually know the game was getting a physical release on the system until that post mentioned it so, thanks.

Isn't God of War supposed to release soon? I swear my copy should arrive at my doorstep one of these days. I need something to kill the time until DKC. And I'm not really in the mood to play anything I own. Idk why. Half the games I own I have never even played anyways.

Screw it, I'm going back to Fire Emblem Warriors. I've been really getting into this game lately. It's cheesy as heck with all the "whoops, misunderstanding, guess you'll have to fight me too" but even despite that, it's a really good game actually.

@JaxonH God of War launches April 20th, same day as Nintendo Labo in the US and Japan.

Which will sell more, GoW or Labo? I want to root for the underdog

I'm willing to bet there's 10x more copies of GoW then Labo at least in the west so Labo doesnt have a chance.

The only thing I'll say is people should remember that Monday will not represent "Labo failing" in the UK.

Its not out here until the 27th

I think GoW will initially do better but in the long term, Labo overtakes it.

God of War is gonna sell insanely well. Review scores are through the roof. I LOVED the first God of War game, and I do have a PS4 (somewhere...in a closet lol), but I just can't seem to muster up the excitement to get this one. I don't know - I'd probably get really into it if I just unburied my system and ordered the game, but I can't be bothered right now.

I see GoW selling upwards of 10 million copies. I dont see Labo coming even close to that.

I kind of doubt Labo will sell even close to GoW. Especially considering the niches they are aiming, GoW is much, much more mainstream, and I think the latest entry really seems to hit well with tons of people too.

(Not to count that initial impression doesn't help matters with one being traditional game that got massive amount of good reviews, while Labo is uh... something).

Liking Labo is all good and well (I like it to be honest), but to be real, it won't ever come close to GoW I think.

Go Labo!!!

It depends if Labo actually becomes huge. God of War is more likely to hit that gamer sweetspot, but if Labo spreads like wildfire then it can very well outsell God of War.

I mean Labo is cool and all, but God of War has gotten insane reviews all around. No way Labo can compete with that.

I just don't see why we're comparing a AAA action game to a cardboard construction kit...

Because they released on the same day, and according to the rules of the internet must battle.

The userbase of the PS4 is much higher than the Switch's userbase. GoW is a mainstream game and Labo is for a certain group of people. So don't expect that the sales of Labo will compete with GoW.

I am curious about the sales of Labo and if it does increase the HW sales of the Switch. Honestly, I don't think that Labo will be a huge hit. But I really like the concept and the Garage mode is infinite. I am curious about the YouTube uploads these week from people's creation.

Now that Labo is out in the US and Japan, it is time for a Pokemon Direct (next week?).

You know, i had prayed at my nearest Chinese temple for a Great sales of Nintendo LABO this morning. Let's pray for the Best of Nintendo LABO.

The thing about Labo people are forgetting is that there can very well be other kits in the way. So overall it can sell above like 95% of games this generation if you count all the kits as one game.

Who knows, I'm just interested in the sales numbers to see how much legs it'll have.

I think anything over a million will be a success. Who knows what Japan will do with the sales of Labo.
