Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Apparently The Elder Scrolls Legends, a digital card game, is coming to Switch.

EDIT: @OorWullie Beat me by literally about 10 seconds, lol.

And NintendoLife, ISNT streaming this XD

The Elder Scrolls Legends is coming to Switch.

Strategy card game, but looks pretty dope. A good fit for portable gaming for sure.

edit
Apparently my page didn't update, but I'll leave it since it provides a little insight as to what the game is.

Fallout Shelter coming to Switch.

So, Fallout Shelter releases on Switch TONIGHT.

And, it's coming to PS4 also but... not Xbox One? Wow.

@JaxonH Was already released on Xbox One. Came out... last year I think.

The Elder Scrolls Blades is presumably coming as well. Not 100% confirmed as of now, but it sounds like it.

@IceClimbers
Ah, ok. Was gonna say. That seems like an odd omission.

That game is crazy popular. 120 million people who've played it they said? That's insane.

Mobile games!

That's the most love Switch has gotten all E3, and we are up to 4 games announced for the system. I predicted 5 total across all the third parties so...

Ya but these are high quality mobile games from a AAA developer.

Which is a whole different league of video game.

And please. We've had 2 conferences, and one was Microsoft. Obviously they weren't going to announce any switch games in that one. For goodness sake. What'd you expect? DOOM Eternal has a good chance of coming, and so does the new Elder Scrolls 6. And Fallout Shelters all but confirms a New Vegas or Fallout 3 port (maybe even 4?).

I'd say things are looking pretty good here. Perhaps you forgot what it was like back in the Wii U era? Maybe you need a little perspective here?

@JaxonH No, but one would expect you know, Madden, or at least a main Fallout given 3 is 10 years old now.

Just...something? High quality mobile games they may be, I had friends addicted to Shelter, but its not even what I would call big support, you know?

Oh, we also get NBA 2K18! Forgot about that. Thats a big one.

At this point look to the Direct. I know Square and Ubisoft are buddy buddies with the Switch but I dont foresee much beyond what we already know - DQBuilders 2, Octopath, Starlink.

We’re definitely going to make it to 5 with Dragon Quest Builders 2. And Ubisoft will probably announce those 2 mobile games that were leaked a few weeks back. And remember not all hope is lost for a major Bethesda Switch game last half of the year. Doom was announced 2 mounths before it was released for the Switch.

@JaxonH I think Elder Scrolls 6 has very little chance of coming. It's presumably gonna be leagues above Skyrim in terms of the power it takes to run the game. I'd love to see a Switch port, though.

@Mrtoad We're already at 5.

NBA 2K19
Fallout Shelter
Elder Scrolls Legends
Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition
FIFA 19

Im only counting games we didn't know about before hand, so Starlink, Octopath and DQ Builders 2 don't count.

@Knuckles-Fajita
You said yourself EA isn't supporting, so why does that surprise you now with Madden? Time to move past it- it's not happening- if you really want Madden buy it on another platform (can't imagine you're into sports games anyways though so I'm not sure why you're complaining, except, just to complain)

And nobody said Fallout won't come. Just because they didn't splash it across their conference doesn't mean we're not going to get a fallout game so chill. In fact I'd say the fact we're getting fallout shelters is almost confirmation they're priming the audience. Not everything is going to get announced the moment you want it to, and just because someting doesn't get announced the moment you want it to doesn't mean it's not going to happen.

Instead of constantly looking at everything you're not getting try looking at what you are getting. Cause from where I'm sitting, I've got more games than I can keep up with. I'm literally having to cancel preorders because I can't keep up. And that's just on Switch. I think complaining now boils down to simple egos and wanting to not feel inferior to your fellow PlayStation/Xbox fan for having more 3rd party games (a competition Nintendo will never win), regardless of whether you wouldn't be playing 90% of them anyways, and completely ignoring the fact you've got games falling out of your ears.

Goodness. We have a stacked lineup of games on the way, please stop complaining, or go buy another console if you have to, I don't know.

@Knuckles-Fajita NBA 2K19 was revealed before E3 though. That's not an E3 announcement. Neither is Team Sonic Racing.

@Knuckles-Fajita Oh did EA or Microsoft announce that at their conference? Count them however you want, I’m just counting them based on what was said earlier in the thread about counting how many games that third parties were making for the Switch whether new or old.

@KirbyTheVampire
I figure they'll find a way. Skyrim has seemingly been doing very well on Switch. Even now, half a year later, still in the top 100 on Amazon. I followed its performance on all the charts I had access to and it seemed to just slightly outpace Xenoblade the first 10 weeks. But that's when Xeno2 fell off while Skyrim just kept on selling.

I imagine it's going to push 2 million by year's end. Now I know that's not really much in the big scheme of things- Skyrim sold like 25 mil in all. But for a game releasing the umpteenth time 7 years later... not bad. I figure if they can find a way to get it on Switch, they'll do it.

But ya, I'm not really confident about that one. I guess it depends on how bad they want it on the system. DOOM Eternal though, I think that one has a real shot. The engine is already running on Switch, it's pretty much established it would be able to scale down and run... even just getting the new DOOM would be huge.

@JaxonH This E3 is actually being quite packed.

But I suppose thats the downside of subconscious hype when leakers etc. tease lots of support for the platform. Suppose I should stop listening to them.

I'm not complaining. I think its quite adequate. Albeit quality is underwhelming, quantity most certainly is not.

I recall the Wii U, and I am basing my expectations on that, all things considered. I believe nothing will come, if I'm right, I won't be sad. I'll talk about it sure, but I won't be upset. If it does, woo, pleasant surprise for me.

All about managing expectations. I guess I failed for this E3. I expected nothing and was kinda maybe hoping I'd be wrong.

Either way this has been pretty good for E3 so far, EA exempt.

Microsoft dropped HALO Infinite and teased the new Xbox. Bethesda announced Starfield and ES6 as "Next gen" games (So Xbox Two and PS5 one assumes?), Square has KH3 and hey, maybe even FF7 or Avengers? Ubisoft has...err...Odyssey and probably Splinter Cell at this point.

Sony I think is in the low point now, due to focusing on 4 anticipated but not really surprising games at this point. Spider-Man, most people are sold already. Death Stranding is something we just want to learn about rather than be confused. Ghost could be good, but need to see more than a basic premise. Last of Us of course is hype busting.

Also FIFA 19 was announced before E3.
