Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I am skipping the treehouse sections since I don't want game spoilers but wow this is a packed year. For those that care nin nin games has the dq switch up for preorder. (I'm going to wait until my bonus...if it is still in stock.)

Amazon Mexico has Resident Evil 5 and 6 listed, individually, for top-tier full price each.

Hopefully it's just placeholder pricing, but still... Individual retail releases seems odd, specially for 6.

Invisigun heroes was supposed to launch this spring. I hope it's still coming. That indie game would be perfect for the switch.

Shout out to 2K for giving us the same sale on 2K19 that's on the PS Store ($2.99!). Too often when a 3rd party game is on sale on both the Switch and on PS/Xbox the discount is far deeper on the latter.

Torchlight II is dropping September 3rd. I am going to be so broke....but at least its 20 bucks.

Is anybody doing a month by month round up of release dates in here?

@Ryu_Niiyama Nintendo Life's list of upcoming release dates is actually still updated, it seems pretty comprehensive from what I can tell: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/07/guide_new_nintendo_...

I've got a more condensed list on my iPad at home, freshly updated. Will post later this evening.

Yeah as I mentioned elsewhere, September is absolutely STACKED.

Ni No Kuni on the same day as Link's Awakening and 1 week before DQXIS is insane.

October looks empty at the moment, but that's because there's a bunch of stuff that hasn't been dated yet, particularly Luigi's Mansion 3. Once things get dated October will be stacked too.

Luigi's Mansion seems like a nice Halloween game, for obvious reasons. I'd say maybe October 25th for that one

I'm hoping LM3 and Alien will be October. Perfect Halloween games and for me, I'd score a nice b-day gift.

Regardless, the rest of the year is brutal on the wallet. We had one big delay in AC, and Town will probably be 2020 too, and there's still a ton of games.

Man just watched some more astral chain on treehouse and wow, that game is shaping up to be truly special. Dare i say, GOTY worthy.. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Links awakening and Astral chain are my most hyped games of the year.

Saw some trials of mana and that looks pretty phenomenal itself. I need to make sure i finish the original before that releases. Sounds like a simple task but not when the switch is packed with games like it is this year 😀

Hylia Bless you. I'm scared to see what you post but I'm resolved to have a second job by next month.

I need to figure out a 2nd income myself. I'll never make it to October 1

@NintendoByNature Astral Chain, Pokemon Sw/Sh, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Dragon Quest XI S, and Ni no Kuni all look fantastic. This is shaping up to be an amazing year for Switch.

Mario Maker 2, Luigi's Mansion 3, and Link's Awakening will be fun birthday presents/sale purchases down the road, I imagine.

And, of course, Animal Crossing. Between that and FF7R, next March is going to be gaming bliss.

I'm open to The Witcher 3 being a good port, but I want to see actual handheld mode footage before jumping.

Weird that Nintendo ended on Elder Scrolls Blades today.

@Ralizah yea so for me. Here are my for sures and maybes starting yesterday

For Sure
-mana collection ( got it yesterday)
-cadence of hyrule( might wait til fathers day to see if I get an eshop card, if not I'll be buying it anyway 😀)

• bloodstained (preordered from best buy)
  mm2 ( preordered with 1 voucher)
• astral chain
  links awakening just preordered the dreamer edition on Amazon
  luigis mansion 3
  contra
  I'm sure there's a couple I'm missing of for sures, plus it all depends on what else gets announced this year on the indie front

Maybe
-marvel ultimate alliance 3
-darksiders 2( if that's announced yet?)
-spyro
-wolfenstein
-pine
-oninaki
-the witcher
-Mario and sonic Olympics
-and Pokemon sword which is actually right on the border of maybe and for sure

Even my maybes are almost for sures.. I don't know how I'll explain these purchases to my wife. Or myself for that matter 😂. Really it's truly an epic year for switch. I hate to sound like a broken record but I'm in awe of what they did in 2019

@NintendoByNature If we're including smaller games, then let it be known that I'll be getting Shantae 5 for sure whenever it happens to release.

AI: The Somnium Files (another September release; fml), Daemon x Machina, and Bloodstained are also maybes for me.

My for sure and maybe list:

For Sure
Crash Team Racing
Mario Maker 2
Fire Emblem Three Houses (now that the academy setting is confirmed to just be a small part of the game)
Astral Chain
Spyro
Daemon X Machina
Link's Awakening
Panzer Dragoon
Luigi's Mansion 3

Maybe
Cadence of Hyrule
Mario & Sonic 2020
Pokemon Sword
New Super Lucky's Tale
Final Fantasy VIII (want to beat Final Fantasy VII first)
DOOM Eternal

Meanwhile on the XB1 front:

For Sure
Halo Reach

Maybe
Gears 5 (want to beat the other games first)

@Ralizah shantae is a series i never got into. The recent sale of both games on switch has my interest peaked. I like more linear games typically. Is pirates curse or half genie hero more linear? Might grab them in the e3 sale. @Grumblevolcano just reminded me. Doom is on my radar too
