Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I mean, I'm not dying for anything for the remainder of this year but like @JaxonH said I've been desperately wanting prime trilogy on switch. Other than that I'm fine and happy with everything else

There's honestly very little I want on Switch that I can see happening soon, other than whatever interesting indie games are left. I'll never get to all of those games even though I want to, so asking for more is weird.

I do wanna see what Retro's been working on. No not that, the other thing. And maybe also the other, other thing. God Retro Studios is a weird, quiet company.

Sega has a bunch of games they should bring back, but wouldn't make sense to give a super big budget so maybe bring those IP to Switch. I think there would be an audience for a new Jet Set Radio or Crazy Taxi without having to make the game have top-tier graphics.

A balancing update two weeks before E3 is interesting. Maybe the 2nd fighter won't be shadow dropped at E3 and just announced?

Not sure they'd do a balancing update only to have even more balancing changes two weeks later with 4.0

Y'all are crazy. The massive tsunami of Japanese and exclusive content coming in the second half of 2019 is the sort of thing I've been waiting for since the system's incredible first year on the market. 2018 was OK, but my Switch didn't get a lot of use that year.

I can't believe I'm going to have stuff like Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Astral Chain, Dragon Quest XI, etc. on my Switch soon.

Capcom is releasing Toraware no Palm on Switch:

@Galarian_Lassie I wonder how many people are going to be pushing their foreheads up against their Switches...

Still not entirely sure if this is any good, but it's good to see more otome games hit the system.

So... is it like a virtual boyfriend-in-jail simulator?

@IceClimbers Yeah, maybe the reveal ends up being more like Joker’s initial reveal back in December.

We should get some info on three houses and Luigi's Mansion at e3. Especially three houses, since it releases later in the summer.

Just a heads up: I was just able to claim the remaining 9 months free switch online offer for Amazon/Twitch Prime members. Guess it's been 60 days already! It made no difference that the bar at the top of the page states "error: we are performing service maintenance on this offer and will be unable to fulfill claims. We will be back up soon." I was still able to redeem the offer

I'm thrilled for the lineup on Switch over the next 6 months. I was more referring to new announcements at e3.

Team Sonic Racing turning out very good helps. It’s either going to be 1st or 2nd regarding best game of first half of 2019. Whether Mario Maker 2 overtakes it depends on how much the modes are infested by <2% completion rate troll levels.

Sorry i think I worded it wrong..im just as amped as you are for the remainder of the year. I was talking more along the lines of what I want to see at e3. And I'm honestly set with games for a while because 2nd half of the year is so packed. Ive got 4 for sure titles I'm getting and that's astral chain luigi mansion 3 links awakening and Pokemon. There might be some others depending on what else comes this year

I'm most interested to see Nintendo's plans for expanding the Switch userbase. With the next gen of Playstation and Xbox beginning to loom, Nintendo has c.1 year where it can take on the role of the leading platform on the market. Is it going to grab that opportunity by the neck, or just bimble along doing it's own sporadic thing like it has been these last few years?

The games coming the rest of this year, from Nintendo at least, will be popular amongst the established userbase, and Pokémon hype may bring in some extras, but what plans if any are there for new stuff?

I think Labo is great, but it's impact on the market hasn't been huge. Has N got more Labo coming that will draw newcomers in? Will N expand the VR offering?

Will Animal Crossing bring big new features, or just slightly iterate on New Leaf?

Will N (please) revive the Wii Fit and Wii Sports type of offerings?

@NintendoByNature @JaxonH Ah.

Yeah, all I really need to hear about is the flood of content coming in 2018.

Especially considering I expect 2020 to be another 2018. How could it not?

Which is fine, as I'll inevitably have plenty of games that I haven't gotten around to yet.

@IceClimbers I wouldn't be so certain. Remember, the Super Smash Brothers World Championship is in two weeks, this may have been pushed out early for that.

As for my E3 wish list... uh... Mass Effect Trilogy on the go would be great as was mentioned above. Kid Icarus, either Uprising in HD or a sequel. Wonderful 102 seems out of the cards with how many games Platinum has going, but a W101 port would be nice. A remake of Golden Sun 1+2? Honestly, we could get nothing this E3 and I'd be satisfied with how much is coming out the rest of the year.

Yeah I think Nintendo’s saving those remaining Wii U ports for 2020. Stuff like 3D World and XCX.

Just saw Spyro coming to PC thanks to Iron Galaxy. Those guys get some work.

Also saw the rumours about Witcher 3....whew that'd be impossible but man we can dream.

I don't even like The Witcher 3 but if that ever makes it to Switch, we can finally stop with the "underpowered trash system OMEGALUL" rhetoric... hopefully.

Yeah for 2020 we can expect Bayonetta 3 and Rune Factory 5 as well as Snack World and Yokai Watch 4 in the west.

Beyond that though? Hard to say really. Mario & Sonic could end up being a January/February title I suppose.

Delaying Town and Daemon x Machina may benefit them honestly.
