@eripmav I am aware and I love that it is. I was just referring to @bluesdance‘s comment on how Battle Princess Madelyn is already a strong contender for an award category weirdly specific to this game and only this game. All in all, a jokey reply to a jokey comment.

@Alucard83 You mean Super Princess Peach?

@bluesdance What a weirdly specific award title.

Watched either Markiplier or Jacksepticeye play this. Not gonna go out of my way to pick this one up, maybe in a sale.

@th3r3ds0x I wholeheartedly agree. I‘d even dare to claim it my favorite console ever. I mean, I can play the best indies known to man, frickin beautiful games like Bayonetta, Mario Kart 8 or Breath of the Wild wherever I want. This is something PS and Xbox need to catch up on but all they care is how much res their games have and how many teraflops.

@therealgamer Oh pardon me, my good sir, but just because these games released last year doesn‘t mean they poofed out of existence and couldn‘t be bought by future Switch owners. Also, Kirby Star Allies, Mario Tennis Aces, Yoshi, Fire Emblem, Metroid Prime 4, Bayonetta 3 and Pokemon are all known to be coming to Switch either this or next year. Also, we‘re in February and Nintendo‘s only given us a schedule up until May so calm down and drink some tea.
Also, excuse me but I did buy all those games when they were released on WiiU - Mario Kart 8, Pokken, DKCTF, Bayonetta 1 and 2 and lots more. WiiU flopped big time so why not bring these games over to Switch to give them a. a second chance for people who rightfully didn‘t invest in a WiiU and b. make some extra cash from people double-dipping on them, like I do? Also, I‘ve never said I‘d rather have ports than new games. Ports take less work and do have an audience, again given the WiiU‘s failure. I doubt they take large resources away from the development of newer releases.

@therealgamer Breath of the Wild, ARMS, Splatoon 2, Fire Emblem Warriors, Kirby Star Allies, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Mario Odyssey are ports? Every console gets ports and considering Switch already overtook WiiU in hardware sales, they have every right to give these great games a second chance on Switch. I‘d say keep‘em coming!

The memes will be strong with one lol.

@shaneoh But of course! How could I ever forget you, Bird Jesus? And you as well, All Terrain Venomoth? Please oh lords, oh punish me for I have sinned!

All hail, Lord Helix, our lord and savior!

@TheMadPolarBear "...whilst the unranked playlists (quickplay in Overwatch) are for when/people who just want to have fun and not care about ranks "

And this is EXACTLY why I have only ever played Quick Play or the Arcade and have never nor will ever touch comp. And yet the crybabies who get ticked off when they lose, follow.

Also, I believe it's important to point out that just because I don't play the meta or go with popular choices, I wouldn't try to win. I do - whilst playing as whoever I want for as long as things work out and I feel useful to my team. Also note that, like I pointed out many replies above, I am often the one bowing down for the team and go with a protective Tank or Healer just so others can play their Hanzos and Meis.

@NEStalgia That's really well put.

I feel like online multiplayer games should be fun no matter the outcome of a match. If I become competitive and obsessed with winning, I will eventually drive myself mad to the point that every victory feels like the prolonging of the inevitable loss. Then it's clearly time to take a break from the game. It's happened to me with Overwatch, it happened to me in Splatoon 1. That's why I try to have fun no matter the outcome. In Splatoon, this works. In a team-based system like Overwatch, it likely won't with too many people trying to find fun in their own way.

@Saego Having avoided comp like the plague, I obviously don't have a rank. Working together with incompetence incarnate can be frustrating, that counts for Overwatch, Splatoon, COD, pretty much any online game, trust me, I know exactly how that feels. But I'd still rather let the guy have fun playing as Mercy than tell him to change. It's all about having fun, right? In all the different forms fun comes in. And if another's fun gets in the way of your own, it's up you what to do. You can tell him to change. Or you could let him be and leave after the match, like I'd rather do.

@Saego I know that as well. Trust me, I‘m no rookie. Haven‘t played 260 hours for nothing. Especially to not know the differences between characters of a class. Thing is, I‘ve only ever played QP or Arcade to avoid the exact thing I described above. And yet it follows me.

@Saego I realize that and I am well aware what hero works best in which situation. I am often the one to pick a tank or healer so others can play whoever they want. But it's the constant 'Orisa? No, go Rein!' 'Zen, go Ana!' that just annoy me to no end. I will change when I feel I don't do enough for the team. But please leave it to MY decision when to change and to who. What's sense of victory when the road there is full of crybabies and playing characters who are 'better' than others, anyway?

Gotta agree with Yasuda's stance on Overwatch. If only its playerbase wasn't so toxic and would let people actually play who they want, I'd play it more. I feel like the lack of team communication is actually what appeals Splatoon so much to me.

Concept sounds fun (I‘d be dying to have the Game Grumps in there!), just needs a lot more work. They sure have a lot of balls doing a Kickstarter with this level of quality. Sure, pre-alpha and we need the munes to get really started but it should at least resemble the final product in some ways.

Ugh, thanks but no thanks. Guide's nice but the stickers are just meh.

Just give it to me already! I know I already played it on PC but come on calendar, say Feb 13 already!

@NaviAndMii So we are. As with every Splatfest, I‘d like to get a team together and do some team matches but considering next weekend‘ll be busy on my part, I can‘t tell when I‘ll have time to play. I‘ll likely try and get to Queen Saturday evening to early night. Who needs sleep, right?

A bit of Splatoon (Turf War and Salmon Run) and MK8D because I feel like it and am still too sick to Splatoon for longer periods.

Get these gherkins out of my burger! Loads of onions, too, for that matter! And the oceans of ketchup and mustard most chefs put on burgers these days! Disgusting! .... sorry, I‘m just very picky when it comes to sandwiches of any kind.

Hope, I‘ll find time to reach Queen. Am scheduled to shoot parts of my short film that weekend.

Looking at the screenshots, this looks like a GameCube game AT BEST. Still doesn‘t look as bad as that WWE game, though.

Definitely picking up Night in the Woods and the Battle Pack from Pokken. Once I‘ve actually got money on my Switch again ...

Looks over to his videogame cabinets and focuses on MK8D.

Nods

Yeah, I'll stick with you.

VC!! VC!! VC!! VC!! VC!! God, let it be more than NES and SNES at launch!

Well, at least it'll look good and accurate to the games. But then again, so did The Emoji Movie ...

@CurtBro Twerks!? Quickly turns around (as sober as a dried fish) and looks at his docked Switch No, I don‘t think it does.

@thesilverbrick We've got a new arena roughly once per month. My best guess is it'll come in February.

Honestly, I like Ink Mines with it better. The only better sub would be Point Sensor. Inkjets also not my thing so no thanks.

Never played this nor PUBG. But this'd be massive if it was on Switch.

Lost Sphere physically but Switch‘ll have to take a backseat for a while to Monster Hunter World and Dragon Ball FighterZ.

I think I opened it like once and even then it was only for some points on MyNintendo. Sad to see it gone but not very surprising.

@CurtBro No, I doubt heavily drinking is a solution. Btw, I got used to Sleep Mode long ago. I only power it off completely when I go to sleep and even then I sometimes forget to power it off.

@CurtBro I don't know. That doesn't seem like a good solution to whatever problem I had eight months ago.

Cutting this down to the top three titles is so cruel. So many great titles I can‘t wait to first and double dip on Switch throughout the year.

Oh boy, it‘s impossible to please everyone (especially with a product that is heavily focused towards people of a specific age group)? Next you‘ll tell me the Earth is round and the sky is blue!

@Dan_Dan Patience is a virtue, you know? There‘s never been a console in the history of forever to release all of its big heavyhitters in the first year (unless it failed miserably lol). Switch‘s launch year was a phenomenal one and you‘re complaining it doesn‘t have Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Smash Bros. and so on yet? We already know Pokémon and Metroid are coming, with Pocket Camp on Mobile, a new AC on Switch is a given. Switch had heavyhitters in 2017 in the form of Odyssey and BotW, 2018, 2019 and so on will most certainly have them as well.

As for Monster Hunter, World is Capcom‘s focus right now. You as a company would want it to sell as good as humanly possible, right? So talking about a MH game other than World would steal its thunder. Also, I think a large amount of publishers announce games when they are, you know, closer to being done, and not like 'Oh hey, guys, sorry, we don‘t have a Monster Hunter on Switch yet but we‘re bringing one in 2020, I hope'. I mean, it took 4 years for World to being done and when was that announced? E3 2017, three years after the development began and little more than six months before its launch.

Wanted to comment on how the original Danger Mouse was the first for tv produced cartoon but that honor actually belongs to Crusader Rabbit. Looking deeper into it, I think my confusion stems from how the Rabbit‘s creator‘s uncle founded an animation studio and created Mighty Mouse. Ah well, can‘t see how Danger Mouse is iconic then. Never heard of it. Continue to drag his legacy through the mud as long as you want, guys, this looks like garbage.

Having finally conquered my fear of Kelbi (yes, Kelbi, I'm aware I'm pathetic), I am really looking forward to dipping my toes into the series this Friday. Would I prefer it on Switch? Yes, but hot damn, does this game look beautiful on a PS4 Pro!

Switch will get a true MH with a westerm release. It's an inevitability given its sucess worldwide.

I need Crash and Hunter so bad. Why is so much stuff releasing in March? It‘s almost as bad as the end of January/beginning of February. MHWorld, Dragon Ball Fighter Z, Lost Sphear, Dissidia NT, Axiom Verge Multiverse Edition, Shadow of Colossus ...

Always hoped they'd include Wind Waker content in the original considering it's my favorite Zelda. And then they did in Legends but the 3DS just couldn't handle it and it negatively affected my experience. Some might say I should've just doenloaded the Legends characters to the WiiU version but I never bothered for whatever reason. Definitely picking this one up.

I should be using the original version more. The subs and special on this one are just ugh, though.

@jsty3105 Labo is aimed at children, this has always been clear to me. But as any product should, Switch aims to appeal to the broadest audience possible, including teens and adults. Coming off from two consoles that were mostly seen as toys and child‘s play, having a product this strictly appeal to young children may put a few scratches into Switch‘s perception as a cool and slick piece of tech, especially if Labo‘s success leads to a stronger focus on it.

@electrolite77 I‘m aware of this and I hope this is the route they continue to go with Switch no matter how successful Labo might be. With the Direct Mini only showing off Kirby and now Labo‘s kids focus, I‘m just not convinced of Nintendo‘s 2018 plans in terms of first party content yet. We know of Yoshi as well but that‘s it. All of the rest is third party and ports. Do I expect them to hit as hard as last year? No way. But something bigger like a Smash 4 port, a real systemseller, would‘ve been nice. But that was only a Direct Mini, we‘ll definitely see more in June at E3 and during fall and all my worries will have been for nothing. Maybe it‘s also just that Monster Hunter World is coming and Ni No Kuni II, too, and none of these announcements can’t really get me as excited as these two titles.

@Anti-Matter The hardware sales figures MIGHT care what the Switch is thought of as. Just look at WiiU and how that did. It looked like toy, was advertised as being played by kids. And then see how Switch with its adult-oriented ads, slick design and games basically smashed WiiU‘s life-time sales. It‘s ALL about how you‘re being perceived in the world of advertising.

The german site thinks I‘m looking for a perfume by the name of Labo. Reminds me of the time I was looking to preorder Splatoon 1‘s Special Edition and all I got was the movie Platoon. Probably gonna preorder at GameStop like always anyways. Doubt they‘ll be this sought after.

@Anti-Matter It‘s not that I‘m worried about others judging me for playing pretty much whatever. It‘s often the perception that gaming consoles, particularly the ones made by Nintendo, are perceived as toys, as child‘s play and aren‘t that attractive to teens or adults who don‘t console or pc game like we do, who mobile game if at all. And after the toy-looking Wii and WiiU with their family/kids-focused ads, the Switch comes along with its ads showing adults playing what is a very slick and smartphone/tablet-looking piece of tech. That and the Switch‘s mobility are what‘s driving the console itself in my eyes. And then comes Nintendo Labo with its focus on kids. Now mind you, this is not an issue on its own but it might just be a first step towards cooling down what‘s made Switch so popular, towards making the Switch look like a child‘s toy, too, and thus diminishing sales from non-gaming adults.

But then again, I was also very worried about Nintendo putting all their eggs into one basket by combining home console and handheld and look how that turned out. As always I wish Nintendo nothing but the best it could do.

Slowly but surely I‘m starting to warm up to the idea of Labo and its potential. Still kinda worried how this might influence the Switch‘s image on its adult audience, though.

Been thinking about it and reading through most of the comments on this article over the past 45 minutes.

I am clearly too old for this. But does this take away from the fact that this is a very creative and Nintendo thing to do? Not in the slightest. I am unsure, however, that the target demographic will care much about this and won't break one of those constructions one way or another. I wish to be proven wrong, though, because this is simply ingenious and could very well be a series in of itself.

Video ends - 'What the heck did I just watch?'

Sorry, Nintendo, but this is really only something for little kids. I doubt my 10 years old cousin would sit herself down and fold cardboard. And then where do I put these so they won't break after a while? Or are broken by kids as they use them? I mean, I'mma get it but it'll be more of a collector's item type thing to me, like those Classic Editions.
