Great game, hopefully it gets more exposure on the Switch. Pretty tough, I got no where near 100% but I did finally beat the last boss after 50 or so tries

The wrestlers from NES Pro Wrestling please

I'd totally leak like 4 or 5 things today if I was Nintendo just to super confuse EVERYONE!

I'd buy that for a dollar!

I would love a weekend of nothing but gaming, but those are few and far between. Hopefully I'll have a chance to play EarthLock some and if I have extra time I may play some Splatoon2 solo missions and maybe even some Odyssey. I'd like to devote more time too both since Ive barely played either

@BarFooToo - ARMS Reminds me more of the 16bit era boxing games then a fighting game and I think that difference is what throws off the fighting gamer crowd. Probably why I enjoy it more then say a Street Fighter or Tekken.....but I was never a fighter fan.

I wouldn't have bought it but the littlest played the trial and fell in love with it. Now his brother and all their friends want to play it together all the time and I think it gets more play then Splatoon2 which surprises me as much as they played the 1st Splatoon.

I think Splatoon2 suffers from no split screen. As more friends get Switches I'm sure Splatoon will make a comeback but for now Rocket League and ARMS with the ability to play all together are the games getting the love.

@hippoeater - yeah but I don't feel the need to upgrade it......at least not till the cross platform play and a physical version is released. All their friends still play Wii U version.

My sons play this, Splatoon 2, and ARMS on a constant rotating basis with an occasional switch to the Wii U for Minecraft. This is the only one that isn't online with their friends talking over facetime because they tend to play this 4 player split screen in our family room.

1st 1 is a great version of Monopoly......not sure if this is different enough to warrent a purchase but as much fun as we have had as a family with gamer, I am definitely interested

Console Wars - as a kid in the 90's and the only Nintendo owner of my group I took a lot of ribbing from my friends but it was all in fun and the rivalry produced amazing games in the prime of my video game life

My kids had fun with it until Minecraft hit Wii U and they switched to play that with friends. It is a challenging game for those that like that genre.

I personally liked it more then Minecraft but neither is my cup of tea and I haven't given the same time to minecraft as I did survival in CubeLife

Started Earthlock yesterday. About 2 hours in. Really good so far except when I stumbled into an area I shouldn't have been in. After 5 game over screens I realized I had jumped a head a little bit and back tracked

@ricklongo - on the kickstsrter message board they are asking you to contact them if you haven't got your Switch code in your backerkit yet. I was also waiting, contacted them and they got it to me this morning. Can't wait to play it tonight.

I'd love one of these as an extra controller but the wire kills it for me. Can't they make a wireless for like $10 more?

A wire is just an invitation for my kids to pull everything off the tv on to the floor and end up with a busted Switch

Ok.....so can I hold out hope that THQ can find a way to revive the old WWE N64 games..........I'd take a No Mercy HD remake

After seeing the nindie showcase, I've gotta check these games out. Look like my kind of jam

I've never trusted the quality of 3rd party accessories. Lots of Christmas and birthday presents over my life have failed miserably because people figure controllers are all the same.

I waited for the Nintendo Dock to go on clearance at my local store before I grabbed a 2nd. I'd like a 3rd but these off brand dock issues may keep it from going on sale again anytime soom.

I'll grab the Splatoon 2 DLC by weeks end. The single player is my favorite part......my sons can keep at the online multiplayer

I think there is too much realistic and glorified violence in all forms of media. I keep myself away from some of it and monitor what my children see and do.

But none of this is the cause of mass shootings and little more then a distraction from discussing the real issues, causes, and solutions.

So excited to finally play Earthlock. As a backer I've been waiting a while to get this on Switch.

Can we please get a video of Alex playing these games on his potato switch? Gotta be some editing wizards who can make that possible!

I don't think we will get many surprises for Switch. I think they are slow playing it right now to set up the 20 Mill sales in FY2019. No need to hype up the gaming crowd until after April when the new year hits officially. Especially when they destroyed 1st year estimated numbers.

3DS will have some surprises I think though. Not much really happening on it currently and I think they will have a few 3rd party surprises and maybe a couple ports or remasters to make the year seem fuller.

Sometime closer to E3 I expect a pretty full direct with a lot of info and then a huge E3 Direct full of surprises to push Switch Sales into over drive.

Or Prime 4 will be announced tomorrow with a release date of Friday and our collective heads will explode.........

Seriously though.......Baseball Stars 2........or Nintendo could help by remaking Ken Griffey Presents MLB from the SNES

That's a lot of small changes......might have to read it all someday to find out what problems I never noticed

@MrGawain 4/3 of people don't understand statistics anyway

Spent some time playing Worms W.M.D. and Rocket League with my boys......no time lately to game on my own. Maybe in a few years?

@Kirgo @aaronsullivan @rjejr @Rococoman

Thank you all for the suggestions!

Is it a good tool for teaching basic programming skills that would transfer to more advanced programs?

I tried working with my son through unity on my crappy laptop and got nowhere. He wants to learn but unity is not a good 1st step.......at least not on my 7 year old laptop

THQ was one of my favorite gaming companies for a while.......as they rebuild I hope they can find that magic again.

Ken Griffy Presents is my favorite baseball game of all time followed by MVP05 on game cube and Baseball Stars on NES. RBI 87 on NES was pretty good as was the Power Pro series on Wii. I wish Nintendo would do an updated version of Ken Griffy keeping the cartoon graphics and difficulty.......because you were pretty much destined to lose every 4th game no matter how good you were. I think in my best season I went 120-42 and most sport games once you get good it is rare to lose to the AI.

I really enjoyed The Fall. Took me a while to get the hang of it and I probably restarted it 3 or 4 times but once the game clicked, I finished it in 1 sitting. For whatever reason I couldn't figure out the 1st couple of puzzles.

I would like to give the 2nd a run through but I've got a few things to finish 1st

I could see thousands of joy con options adjusting shape, size, and look. Specialized for specific types of games like racing etc. Other then that who knows what they got cooking at R&D? After Labo I dare not guess

Is that good? I don't have any idea what they expect or what the cost is to get these titles on the Switch but they have a ton of games so sales wise per game we aren't talking about a ton......still a million sales at $7.99 a pop is a decent figure

With a patch that fixes the issues this may well be worth the bargain bin prices of it currently

1st game was very good. Hopefully the developer can continue this trend.

Some of these indie games have been my favorite games of the last 2 generations and while it is hard to search through the hundreds of bad it is well worth it when you find the great

Hope is a vast improvement over the last few but I don't think it will be different other then updated rosters and a few tweaks. I'd like a good new baseball game to play........otherwise Ken Griffy Jr Presents MLB on SNES will do

It's an impressive list so far that is missing a lot of titles........so really there should be 5 or 6 more retail releases at least that we know are confirmed for 2018 not to mention Pokemon which is slated as sometime 2018.

I have a feeling a lot more will be announced before and through E3.

Whether or not I want them is another story but hopefully a Good FE, maybe a stab at Dark Souls, Octopath Traveler and an EarthLock Switch release that I was a backer for means 3-4 games to keep me occupied all year. That's about all I can get through anyway.

Lots of comments so maybe this is already been stated, but Nintendo already talked more motion and HD games this year, I bet they are going to announce games that center on motion control, HD rumble and touch screen. Probably smaller indie type experiences from Nintendo that will be more active in gameplay

Funny the Switch would be the best vr on the market considering the joy cons great tech, that it could slide into a headset and all of it would be wire free........but I think they are right to avoid VR considering many people can't handle it without motion sickness.

4K is different, they will have to keep up on some level but $500 machines still struggle with it and consistent frame rates so I understand the apprehension of Nintendo of pushing into biggest fastest best tech

It will be interesting to see what is coming in 2018.......if 20 mill is really the target then that seems to point to an Animal Crossings or Pokemon game coming in late 2018 along with a few other surprises.

Regardless, keeping pace in Japan with PS2 is a remarkable feat, now they need to keep it moving

a January Direct was almost all but guaranteed once we escaped December without 1. I'm sure Amazon knows games and announcements are on the way and pre entered some info to make it easier to get the preorders set as the announcements come.

Anyway, I think Nintendo is now on a schedule of sorts. Big reveal Direct in January, couple smaller PR or Directs pre E3, E3 fun and then a late September Direct to round off the holiday season. This is what we are going to get for the foreseeable future.

Reading the comments, a Pop Cap collection would interest me, Peggle, PvZ, Zuma......I think there was a diamond game too?

@Agramonte - I didn't state that thought very well either, my point was it is data you pay for, because they don't pay for it, they don't want to report on the rumors before hand or the leaks or reports of others.

Yes great at reviews for every Nintendo system.......although the amount of Switch games seems to have them struggling to keep up as if late

@Agramonte - Not that I can speak for NLife, but NPD isn't officially released, most of what you see is rumors or leaks and of the articles I've seen, NLife usually does a report when Nintendo releases an official statement pertaining to the NPD results.

Now NLife obviously reports on rumors and leaks about hardware and software so.......maybe a moot point but regardless I think they are pretty fair with their coverage considering it is a fan site

Wow.......that's a spicy meatball!

I thought they would push for 20 characters but my sons play this all the time since they got it in November. It is a great local and online game and they enjoy it a lot.......so well done Nintendo!

I will wait to make sure it is developmentally sound.....but assuming Hamster is up to their usual standards, I will buy this right away

Welcome Dom and good luck maintaining your sanity

Congratulations Thomas.......the reason most of us visit NintendoLife are the people who work hard everyday to make it a site worth coming too and you will be missed. Good luck with the new gig! I look forward to seeing random posts from ordinary average non NintendoLife affiliated Thomas

NES was a disaster.......SNES has been better. I randomly see them in stores at least.

With NES coming back next year hopefully they have enough supply to thwart the scalpers.......and hopefully the population is smart enough to ignore the scalpers. If no one bought them for $250 then the scalpers would disappear
