Preordered the 1TB micro SD. I was gonna wait but... I don’t foresee larger cards releasing any time soon driving down the 1TB. I’m sure they’ll drop some, and I’m likely paying a $100-150 early adopter premium, but it’s the miracle cure solution to all my storage woes. Still, it’s a ridiculous sum of money for storage. Maybe I should just wait [sees RE Origins Collection with 18gb download, sees RE4 digital only] Nah... screw it. I’m all in.

I love Valiant Hearts. Such an incredible game. Child of Light is great too, but VH is better imo.
2 absolute stunner retail releases from Ubisoft today (well, 3 if you count Child of Light and Valiant Hearts separately)

I just logged out of my Amazon Prime account and acted like I wanted to buy it and it said free shipping. However, it also says ships in 1-4 weeks so keep that in mind.
All credit to the guy on reddit who made this, but I’m going to share it because it’s a nice little mock up. I cropped out the rumored titles though. Confirmed exclusive games only here.

Yup. You can tell they’re replicating the success of 3DS’s best year with 5 of the same franchises.
Only difference is, Switch is also getting a new 2D Mario, new Mario Maker, new Yoshi game, new Marvel game, new Platinum exclusive, new RPG from Gamefreak, new Armored Core spiritual successor, and a whole truckload of quality 3rd party titles 3DS could never even dream of getting- from Dragon Quest XI S and Dragon Quest Builders 2 to Dragons Dogma and Assassins Creed, Trials Rising and Mortal Kombat and Crash Racing, Sonic Racing and Saints Row, Final Fantasy VII, IX, X, X-2, XII, Chocobo’s Dungeon and Crystal Chronicles, Darksiders, new DOOM and Wolfenstein, Pillars of Eternity...
And we’re just getting the year started. There’s more rumored, including some big ones. And we have 10 more months of announcements, Directs and even e3.
I’d say this year tops 3DS 2013 by leaps and bounds.

@JaxonH Third-party-wise? Sure. Aside from the lack of Atlus support, it smokes any pretty much every other Nintendo console year in terms of third party support since... well, since the SNES, honestly.
First-party-wise, that remains to be seen, although I'm expecting extremely good things. I'm not expecting to like the remake of Link's Awakening more than A Link Between Worlds, but this year also has Super Mario Maker 2, Town (supposedly), and probably other surprises. Pikmin 4 would really clench it for me.
Currently Playing: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (NS2); Corpse Factory (PC)
The February Direct made me further think that E3 2019 is going to be pretty much E3 2018 with Animal Crossing being the new Smash Ultimate. The "Where is Animal Crossing?" complaining even matches last year's "Where is Smash?" complaining.
Even so, 1st party wise I'd say is better too. Not sure Link's Awakening will top Link Between Worlds either, but itll still be up there. And this year makes up for it with more ambitious and beautiful games, and more of them.
For example, I expect Fire Emblem Three Houses to handily top Awakening, I expect Luigis Mansion 3 to easily top Dark Moon, Animal Crossing will certainly top the 3DS entry, Pokemon definitely looks better than Sun/Moon, and of course theres all the extra titles (New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, Mario Maker 2, Town, Astral Chain, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and Pikmin 3, which I know isn't Pikmin 4 but, it's still yet another cherry on top. Of course, I'm hoping Metroid Prime Trilogy is announced but, even if not, I'd say the exclusive lineup is a record breaker
(Btw, not sure if Astral Chain is Nintendo published or not, but I assume it is like Bayonetta 2 and W101).

oooooh boy thats some news about the RE games that aint good.
Digital only in Europe. Retail elsewhere is 0 on card, REmake download of 17gb or so, but the games have been price hiked. The retail collection is $60!
Now Playing: Mario & Luigi Brothership, Sonic x Shadow Generations
Now Streaming: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
@JaxonH Astral Chain might be a game-changer. It's certainly an incredibly attractive-looking exclusive title.
It's pretty incredible how Nintendo went from a sales disaster of epic proportions with the Wii U to what is quickly looking to be the most successful Nintendo console of all time (even if it sells less than the Wii, it will still be a much more successful Nintendo console by other metrics: this one, after all, has an engaged player base that is hungry for all sorts of games; I don't think we'll see many Switches rotting in grandma's basement, like we did with the Wii).
