@chardir Are you kidding? They know what it is. Back in October I had to take a work trip to Germany and one of my transfer locations was London. I was toting my Switch around and playing anytime I had to wait around and in both countries I had people constantly commenting on it and calling it by name. They knew what it was, but I didn't see anyone else that had one.

Games that could get me to pull the trigger:
Persona
If they bring back NBA Street and NFL Blitz

I'm considering Heist, but that is all and I'm still not sure if I want that.

@Alto open the eShop on your Switch and click the Games on Sale option on the left side of the screen

If I was doing my personal top 10 it would be Xenoblade #1 and Zelda #2, but since this is an overall top 10 I think the correct answer is Zelda

@smashboy2000 They fixed it on the switch with an update not too long ago

I voted. Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 2 Xenoblade 2 and (probably the only vote it'll get) NBA 2K18 in that order. BOTW is the most fun I've ever had with a Zelda game, Splatoon 2 is so much better than the original, I'm still too early in Xenoblade to compare it to the original (but the original is my personal game of all time) and NBA 2K18 My Career is just so enthralling.

Where are the Jackbox Party Pack Games??? I want to vote for Jackbox Party Pack

@redd214 Thanks for the info!

@superguy123 how many did the PS4 sell in it's first 9 months?

If they'll give me the Disney Afternoon Collection then I'll be happy!!!

@Steelhead Don't be like that. It's not a travesty. Just because it wasn't your personal favorite game. For most of us it was the most fun we've had in a long time.

@Krull I don't understand? "Don't grind, you'll pay for it in the end"

I really hope Zelda takes the BIG trophy this year!!!

Thank-you for the review. I wasn't even considering it, but now it looks like something we might have to buy

@MagnaRoader @Whopper744 @Luffymcduck @Angelic_Lapras_King @joey302 @Sentinator I'm with you 6 smart people. I really want the Disney Afternoon Collection. That I would buy immediately! I have Megaman on my Wii U AND 3DS

We're WAY past the point where I can't play every game I want to. Now we're to the "I can only play 10% of the games I'd like to play" phase.

@holygeez03 There is...Xenoblade Chronicles 2!!!
The direct sequel to my all time favorite game!
When I was watching the Nintendo Switch launch event back in January I was trying to decide if I should buy 1. When they announced Xenoblade Chronicles 2 I turned to my wife and told her I was buying a Switch at launch because of this game.

@jakemills91 I'd say you should absolutely play the original. Although I don't think it matters which you play first. I enjoyed Xenoblade Chronicles X and put about 70 hours into it (although I never finished it), but the original Xenoblade Chronicles is my all time favorite game and the further I got in it the more I couldn't put it down until I beat it. I then bought it on 3DS (a few years later) and played with my son who was finally old enough to join me on an epic quest.

I'm super excited that Xenoblade 2 is similar to the original!!! I pre-ordered this as soon as it was an option.

@AlphaElite I assumed Switch games were going to be in there until I read it.

Too bad Xenoblade Chronicles 2 wasn't out in time. We don't yet know how good it will be and so it has legitimately zero chance to win. I liked X a lot, but Breath of the Wild is only my second favorite all time game. Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii is my all time favorite game which is why it's too bad these nominations were made before the actual end of the year. I'm hoping somehow 2 will be better than X and the original.

I’m hoping you guys with more diverse experience can help me. I don’t own a PS4 or an XBONE and I don’t play games on my PC. I just play on my Switch. To me it seems like a no brainer that Zelda will get game of the year with a chance that it could be Mario, but am I wrong? Is there a legitimate chance that it will be one of those other games?

I'm going to download Rocket League on my Switch tonight. If my wife and I both like it I'll download it on my wife's Switch, if my kids also like it then I'll buy it for theirs too. They may sell 3 copies off of us.
I will look into Batman. If it looks like something my wife and I might like I might get that too.

We had some good fun with this on Wii U, but since I already own it, my willingness to purchase it again will depend on the pricetag for the Switch.
It's too bad Nintendo and/or 13AM games won't have the eShop recognize that my NNID owns Runbow (even paid full price) and give a significant discount.
At half price many people would double dip.
Think about upgrading VC games from Wii to Wii U for $1-3. If it was a game I liked at all I did the upgrade.

@ballistic90 actually Hulu has some great options!
It's particularly great for people like me that aren't willing to subscribe to cable and live in a town where we can't pick up channels with an antenna

My normal response to DLC is, "I'll play through the game, if I finish and I want more then I'll be more than happy to buy it. If I finish and feel satisfied then I'll leave it alone and save my money."
With Mario Kart 8, I wanted more and bought the DLC, with Smash Bros for Wii U, I was satisfied and didn't buy any. With Breath of the Wild I conquered it and wanted more story (as soon as it releases I'll buy it).
However, the original Xenoblade Chronicles is my all time favorite game and watching that Nintendo Direct this morning I got more of an original Xenoblade Chronicles vibe than I did a Xenoblade X vibe so I just may break my rule and buy it day 1 this time.

@Lord I've been wishing for a Multiplayer Xenoblade since I fell in love with the original game!

@Dysnomia ???
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
I have been getting it free (see Wii U and Switch current online price)
Plus I never said I wasn't willing to pay for it. I'm just not sure I'll be willing to pay for it 3 times (I currently own 3 switches) so that we can play 1 game (Splatoon 2) online.
I understand what's actually going on here, I understand that it costs money to run the servers I'm ok with them charging. I'm just not sure if I'm willing to pay 3X subscription when we only play 1 game online. When they actually detail out any and all benefits of the subscription I'll decide if I'm willing to pay for 1 subscription, but it's hard to imagine being wiling to pay for 3 unless they do some kind of family plan (which I'm assuming they won't)
That was the point I was trying to make.

@BezBot @Blue_Blur @tamantayoshi @AG_Awesome
Thanks for the feedback guys. Sounds like this game will be enjoyed by my whole family!

@Blue_Blur @thesilverbrick @BezBot @BezBot @sketchturner @daveh30 @AG_Awesome @justin233 I've never played it, but the vibe I get is something similar to Snake Pass in that it has vary different and more complex controls to manage. Is that correct?
What was wrong with the Wii U version?
Should I wait until reviews surface to make sure this version doesn't have the same problems the Wii U one did?

@leo13 @Tyranexx @Matthew010
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that thought 3D Land was the best one.
@leo13 I also wanted Super Luigi for the best 2D game. I LOVED that you had to rush through challenging levels.

FIFA doesn't fit the Nintendo fanbase as well as other games would. If they were going to test with just 1 game they should have used Star Wars Battle Front II

@Dev You mention New Donk City, Check out leo13's comment above

@leo13 That would be a game worthy of Retro Studios real skills!!!
Hopefully they get Monolith Soft to help like they did with Breath of the Wild.

It can't possibly catch the Wii. Nintendo isn't making enough of them. They're almost always sold out. My local Best Buy is stocked on Sundays and by Tuesday it's sold out. You can't sell more than you make it's just not possible

@Masurao No, you misunderstood. I NEVER said I can't afford $60 for the online subscription. But just because I can afford something doesn't mean I'll buy it. If I don't think I'll get my money's worth then I won't touch it. I felt I'd get my money's worth for the 2nd and 3rd Switch and so far I have we play 3 player Spatoon all the time. However, eventually we'll get tired of playing that game and my track record says we don't really play games online (didn't much on Wii or PS3 or Wii U so why should I expect that to change now) so unless they have more built into the subscription to help me justify paying for several then I won't be willing to pay for several.

@okeribok @ShadJV I understand the hows and the why's of the pricing even when there may be multiple Switches in a family. Again, I'm hoping to get lucky here with some family plan, but I'm not delusional enough to think it'll actually happen. I'm just hoping they find some way to make me feel like it's worth buying several of them.

@ShadJV From what I'm seeing 3DS is not going strong. Nobody buys games for it anymore. It's basically dead.
I believe they're talking big because they're hoping to get 1 more decent Christmas out of it.

@Heavyarms55 @subpopz @Wexter I understand your point. I'm hoping they offer a family plan, but I'm not at all optimistic about it because they don't offer a family plan that would allow all 3 switches to play the games I downloaded digitally (the reason I started buying physical after we got the second Switch) so why would they change when they introduce the online subscription.
I also understand that Playstation and Xbox users have been paying this for a long time, but you have to understand that in my family we don't play online much. With the Wii U Splatoon was the only game that got played online and with Switch it's been 99% Splatoon 2 (with a tiny bit of Mario Kart Battle). So it's hard to justify paying a subscription so that we can play 1 game online. then I learned $20/year so I bought Splatoon and we had too much fun and bought a second Switch and had even more fun and bought a 3rd and it's been GREAT, but again paying 3 times so that we can play 1 game just isn't exciting.

Long story short...we're getting in as much as we can now, while also hoping for the best. (I was very relieved when I learned it got bumped from Holiday 2017 to 2018)

@Heavyarms55 I'll complain about 1 thing right now. We have 3 switches (my wife and daughter and I frequently play Splatoon together). I've never paid for online service and suddenly I'm going to have to buy 3 subscriptions.
When the come out with the list of benefits/features that come with the subscription I'll be seriously considering selling 1 or 2 of the consoles. We'll see.

@GaymerGuy5 a lot of disconnects in Splatoon? Define "a lot"? We (my wife and I) play several times a week and we've been disconnected 4 times in 4 months. I'd say not bad.

I would have never considered buying this...now I am considering it. Thank-you for the review

@Shufty No, I've never updated the firmware of the adapter. I hope updating that firmware didn't mess it up for others...

@MrGamerClock64 hmm. I wish I knew. I don't know why mine didn't work the first time and I don't know exactly what changed it. I'll have to try it again tonight and see if it still works.
You know, I have 3 Switches I should try it on the other 2 and see if I have the same experience on each one.

@UmbreonsPapa You sound just like all the crazy people that tell me that "Back to the Future" is a Great movie.
It's a terrible movie and the N64 controller (although I have A LOT of nostalgia tied to it) was a terrible controller.
(Yes I realize that now I'm going to get a bunch of people responding to me telling me that Back to the Future is amazing, but it's not you're just nostalgic for it)

@doomgc @BezBot @Shufty @Shufty
I have the 3rd party Mayflash adapter and I tried this out last night. Played some Breath of the Wild and some NBA 2K18 with my Gamecube controller.
It took my switch a second to recognize it (maybe because I have a 3rd party adapter (I would have bought the Nintendo one, but I couldn’t find one).
I plugged it in and pulled up the controller settings page and pushed L and R on the Gamecube controller over and over, but nothing happened. Then I pushed them on my Switch Pro Controller and it pulled up and I pushed them again on my Gamecube Controller and that time it worked.
I wanted the Gamecube controller to be the 1st player so I got out of that menu and then back in and this time the first time I pushed L and R it registered correctly. Then it worked just fine with Zelda and NBA 2K.

I bought this game during the last sale for $15. I personally enjoy playing a wide variety of styled games so for me it was enjoyable mostly because it's SO DIFFERENT from anything else I've ever played. Surprisingly, it's one of the few games my wife enjoyed enough to conquer (she'll play games with me, but the only game she normally plays when I'm not around is Splatoon 2)

@crudfish I downloaded the update and played an hour of Splatoon 2 docked with ZERO PROBLEMS

@MetaRyan That's good to know (8 friends more fun than 3-5)
Thanks for the pro tip
