Mario at my household for sure. Even though I'm clearly the one most hyped for it, a new console (especially a Nintendo one) is always going to get swarmed over as soon as it makes it through the door. And there's not a game more perfect than Mario for that initial test drive.

I might play Mario first just because it's more casual than Zelda and thus better for quick play sessions, and it would be good for getting a feel for the Switch in general. Whether I'd keep playing it or switch to BoTW kinda depends on how fun the Mario game is, I guess.
By the way, if anyone hasn't played Skyrim yet, I wholeheartedly recommend it. It's a must buy IMO. Such a great game, and you can sink hundreds upon hundreds of hours into it. I'm honestly really jealous of anyone that hasn't played it yet. I just hope BoTW can come close to Skyrim in terms of how much I enjoy it. I have a bit of a nagging fear that BoTW can't live up to the hype, but I really hope it can.
I'm not sure why some people care that Nintendo would potentially launch two heavy hitters simultaneously. They're the ones that have to worry about cannibalizing sales, not us. It's a win win for consumers. Like the magical day I got 3d world and link between worlds at the same time. It was awesome.
Zelda and Mario at launch to me just makes it more likely we will get same gen sequels, especially Zelda with the amount of effort they've put into the engine they're using.

It's nice in the short term, but long term it could affect 3rd and 1st party support.

3rd party support, I could see your point. But how would it affect first party support? If the rumors are to be believed Mario has been done for a while and they're most likely already working on whatever next game they have planned.

Well, if they pump out a bunch of heavy hitters too quickly, there won't be other heavy hitters to fill the gaps, so you'd be getting long stretches of time without games that would really sell the system to people. It's better to slowly pull out your trump cards one by one, rather than just throw them all out on the table and be empty-handed for the rest of the game.
I wouldn't pay any attention to that Gamestop listing. They get fake listings of games that don't come out.
At this point let's just wait until the presentation.
The original picture from the leak also had pegi ratings for some games. Notably is pegi 6 for Lego city and pegi 18 for monster Hunter. All monster Hunter games have had pegi 12 and Lego city had pegi 7 originally. It was also the classical "picture taken from a weird angle".
@IceClimbers agreed i doubt that list is legit. DQ XI is nowhere ear ready and there's no way Nintendo is putting out zelda, splatoon, mario, and mario kart out all on the same day.
The rumour mill is now certainly getting into overdrive ahead of Friday's reveal. I feel that if there are any truths to the cost of the Switch and the launch line up then it's looking like a day one purchase especially if Skyrim is available as I've never got round to buying that game.
@WebHead Maybe the list ends up being the games revealed at the event. So the Switch's lineup until the fall and a few fall games meanwhile the majority of fall onwards gets revealed at E3.
Definitely going into this presentation with tempered expectations. I expect them to focus on their 2017 lineup with a teaser or two for 2018 (coughBG&E2cough). I'm also going to expect Retro and Monolith to be no-shows (well, not counting the Xenoblade X port). Also no Pokemon Stars - that announcement will be in April/May I think.
I just want the rumors and junk to be over so I can go back online (twitter, youtube, etc) more freely, as I basically cut myself out of a lot of things because of all the rumors. Really only visit this site occasionally.
Something that was looked over: In Laura's compilation post on her website, she clarified that the "deluxe bundle with Splatoon as a pack-in" came from a source within GAME.
I'm gonna take a guess and say that might just be something GAME is doing, and not an official Deluxe SKU. I think we'll see a single SKU at $250 with no pack-in game.
Yea, part of me wants them to just put the system out there for $250 and let the consumer pick and choose the games they want. But doesn't Nintendo usually include a game? Wii U had Nintendoland, right? Or was that only the Deluxe version? Did Wii come with Wii Sports?
