@NEStalgia I'm in the same boat. XC2 came out far too close to Super Mario Odyssey, Doom, L.A. Noire, etc. After how packed September through November was and then having Celeste, Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze and Bayonetta 1+2 blow me away in the next few months, I didn't get to XC2 until I think May.
@Grumblevolcano Thank you for explaining that, I've been staring wondering what Zelda game came out this year. I still want to get that one, I had a lot of fun with the Wii U original.
@Grumblevolcano Ahhh, thanks, I couldn't figure it out for the life of me! I played it so long ago on WiiU I tend to forget it existed with FE Warriors really being the newer one, plus I tend to not think of either as Zelda/FE and just think of them as (yet more) Musou games.
Yoshi’s Crafted World preload live in NA. Darksiders listed, but no preload live yet (bummer). Over 13gb file size though, so kudos to THQ for poppin that 16 gigger for us at retail.

Apologies if this has been already discussed in this thread, but if not: I really do think Nintendo needs to release a Switch Mini. If it is priced at $199 or (even better) at $169, Nintendo will replace the 3DS as the system of choice for the price-conscious portion of the market and parents buying a game system for kids — currently IMHO the $300 Switch just isn't doing it at the speed needed. The catch is to do it so that it's cheaper but at the same time compatible with the rest of the Switch library. My thoughts:
1. smaller screen with fused controllers
2. compatible with Joy-Con but Joy-Con sold separately
3. compatible with dock but dock sold separately
4. same internals as normal Switch
5. plays same games as normal Switch.
I would absolutely buy a Switch mini, as I still haven't got a Switch.
If it was just a slightly smaller version but with the controls permanently fused onto the same device, that would be excellent for me.
The only thing that I'd absolutely need is to have it be compatible with the dock and joycons, but you just have to buy them separately, cos I could happily just play most games in handheld mode but then occasionally there are gonna be some games (e.g Xenoblade2) that you really need on a big screen.
If it didn't include that option, I wouldn't bother and would just get wait to get the regular Switch.
@shadow-wolf There's a limit to how much you can shrink it and have it still be compatible with the current dock - the analog sticks will eventually get in the way.
I think Switch Mini is inevitable, the 2019 Switch lineup after Yoshi is pretty much the sequel to 3DS 2013.
Fire Emblem Awakening -> Fire Emblem Three Houses
Luigi's Mansion 2 -> Luigi's Mansion 3
Animal Crossing New Leaf -> Animal Crossing Switch
Pokemon X & Y -> Pokemon Gen 8
The main 2 missing are Mario & Luigi which got Bowser's Inside Story on 3DS earlier this year and 2D Zelda which with the massive success of BotW who knows if that'll even exist anymore.
And if it’s not getting physical in NA, I’ll happily import Chocobo’s Dungeon Asian release (which does have full English on the cart).
That’ll make World of Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy X/X-2 and Chocobo’s Dungeon all Asian imports for me. And I’m going to assume Crystal Chronicles will have English as well (why would every other FF have English but not that one). So I’ll probably end up importing it too, since it’s already confirmed digital in the west for Switch.
