I just speed past the revision and go straight to: more expensive online service 😕
They coulda just started with a good one and not make me upgrade or worse, have two different paid subscriptions on switch.
I'll wait for it to materialize before whining more. And if it does show up, I'll probably get it, but why not just improve the current one?

Time to preorder then. Iron Crypticle has an asthetic that I'll probably love, me being a huge Smash TV, knight, and Gungeon fan.

Civilization VI. So addictive once you get into it. Got the science victory with rome on true earth map. Going for culture with greece this time. Probably play my MAME arcade when I have spare time.

I owned all of these.
Sold Splatoon 2 because it became too repeatative. Sold DKCTF because after finishing the game I realized it wasn't very fun to me, just brutally difficult.
Rest are great games though. Just my opinion.

Daemon X Machina
Bayonetta 3
Resident Evil 1
SNES games
Angry Video Game Nerd 2pack
Pokemon
Sega Ages Dreamcast games
Streets of Rage 4
Maybe Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem

Labo, the Rob the Robot, Super Scope, Hey You Pikachu, plastic wii accessory, wiiU gamepad of its day.
Looks cute for kids though.

1. I still don't want to get my hopes up.
2. I would love it if they dropped them all in February.
3. Though I bet when they do start adding them it'll be 1 or 2 at a time, not all at once.

Glad to have Zelda II. Still waiting on Super Mario Bros 2, Punchout!!, Kirby's Dream Land, Contra, Super C, Castlevania, Castlevania III, Double Dragon II, 1943, Star Tropics, and Star Tropics II, not to mention the fabled SNES games, but I refuse to get my hopes up.

Illusion of Gaia
Secret of Mana
Donkey Kong Country trilogy
TMNT IV Turtles in Time

@BenAV there's demos for a few of them on the eshop. Give them a whirl.

I don't believe these are coming anytime soon, even if this is a real leak.
That being said: I'd love to play Link to the Past, F-Zero, and Super Mario World on my Switch. I just feel like the soonest any of these will come is September 2019.

3rd playthrough(maybe 4th) of Super Mario Odyssey. Going to load up some more games on my MAME arcade as well. Maybe play some NES on my Switch if I find some other spare time. Just need to forget about work and how blah its been lately....

On my 3rd set of joycons now. My day 1 spare set grey left joycon's joystick takes a second or two to fully register movement. My day 1 console set left neon blue joycon's joystick jumps to the right every few seconds. Both of them started acting up after a year of play. Got a new neon red blue set now. Hope I don't kill these too.

Not going to double dip this one. Enjoyed this and Super Luigi U in the Wii U years ago. But since I played through both I haven't had an itch to revisit either one. Rather play almost any other 2D mario. Somehow the older ones are more addictive and fresh feeling. Still good games for any that missed them the first time though!

What sucks is there was an expectation of 3 games a month. After this there's nothing stopping Nintendo from going down to 1 or 0 free games a month and saying that they're just a bonus that we shouldn't expect every month. Just leaves me dreading 2019 since unlike 2018 they haven't bothered to tell us what they'll be giving us for the other 11 months.

I like Zelda 2, but I was expecting more from 2019, not less.
With other random announcements I doubt there's even a direct coming. Waiting for E3 I guess...

On my eighth playthrough of Breath of the Wild. Also got my x-arcade controller in the mail for my MAME computer so after setting that up I'll need to play some classic arcade games the way they were meant to be played....in my mancave 😆

Back when Samus wore a deep sea diver pressure suit. Back when Megaman was a man with a hand gun. Back when Snake was a cartooning of Reese from Terminator. Back when Nintendo Power envisioned Mario in claymation. Let me take you back to the old days of videogame art. We have such sights to show you.

Ah, the problem with being an early adopter...already have all the games I want on this list. Great time to be a new Switch owner though!

Fallout, Dragon Age, and Soul Calibur series please. Other than that Switch has just about everything I like playing. Oh and a Midway game collection.

Weirdly in early childhood we got games year round (whenever my dad saw NES ot SNES games at the pawnshop) but especially on birthdays. As a kid I wanted toys more than videogames, but in my teen years I remember a christmas where my brother and I got a slew of gamecube games: Resident Evil remake, Legends of Wrestling II, 18 Wheeler, and SSX Tricky. The first two were for me and the latter for my older brother who is scared of horror and likes snowboarding. Good times. Past couple years I've gotten Atari Flashbacks and Nintendo money so my 30s are a bit different.

Always physical if it's about the same price or cheaper than digital because I like saving money and memory space. I have a 128gb card but I've got less than half that space available after several big digital only games and digital deluxe of starlink because at the time $80 for nearly everything was a better deal than $75 physical with less than a quarter of the unlockable content. Physical is nice to lend out to friends or resell games if they don't fit my lifestyle, like when I decided I never wanted to play Splatoon 2, 1, 2 Switch, or DKC TF again and was able to sell them to Gamestop for about 50% their value.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate is #1....hard to decide on what's worthy for 2 and 3, but we'll go with Starlink and Hyrule Warriors.
Eshop has to be Broforce followed closely by Bloodstained Curse of the Moon. Honestly can't decide on a 3rd.....

@rdrunner1178 if you love retro games pick up the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection. It has Athena arcade and console versions to boot.

The opinion of a 31 year old American: I disagree. Here's my list:
1. Switch-bought day one, goes everywhere with me.
2. NES-grew up with this and the two dozen games my father bought from pawnshops over the years in the early 90s.
3. SNES-got a couple years after launch.
4. N64-got a year after launch.
5. Gamecube-launchday, yay Rogue Squadron II
6. Wii-got several years after launch.
7. Wii U-got a couple years after launch
8. 3DS-got a couple years after launch
9. Gameboy-got with the Super gameboy several years after launch.
The others are never owned and refuse to rank. I also own every classic game compilation for Switch so far and despite some games coming out before I was born, have an interest in old Atari and Arcade games. My family has always been behind the curve on consoles. The only systems we bought on launch day were the Dreamcast, Gamecube, and now Switch for me on my own. (I also picked up the NES and SNES classic as well as the Atari Flashback 8 Gold HD day one, but they weren't hundreds of dollars either) a friend hacked my Xbox in the early 2000s with all the NES, SNES, and Genesis games and I was able to experience all the games my parents were unable to afford in the early 90s. I bought several on 3DS virtual console because I love having them on the go and support Nintendo whenever I can or as I call them: the number 1 purveyors of fun in this current depressing world we live in.

Look past the bloated collection Atari jammed in here and you'll find there are real gems.
Most of the arcade games are great. Avoid just about all the sports games.
Do play Aquaventure, Air Raiders, Asteroids, Breakout, Centipede, Super Breakout, Millipede, Missile Command, Tempest, Warlords, Fatal Run, Red Baron, Yar's Revenge, and a few more gems here and there.
The Swordquest (manuals aka comic books) are also fun reads.
Worth 40 bucks.

@Balta666 perhaps, but in the US kids/adults who only own cod or madden are made fun of at school/work nowadays. Being a jock/dudebro is less desirable by the general public. The Revenge of the Nerds is here. 🤣

May pick up one day discounted or awhile from now on a whim. Playing through the huge amount of content in Smash and anticipating wadinf through the SNK, Sega, and Atari collections...not to mention I know I'm getting Civ 6 and Lets go Pikachu....just too many games. Maybe February.

Between the 4 switch owners I know:(including me)
2 copies Zelda
3 copies Mario Kart
3 copies Super Mario Odyssey
3 copies Pokemon Lets Go

Got Capcom collections, Namco, Sega, SNK, Atari, select ACA titles, and NES online. When am I getting my Midway arcade games?

That announcement just hurts my soul. Give us some Super Nintendo, 64, or Gamecube games. We'll pay more money if you need to, just something more than NES. Was hoping to wait for next direct for good or bad news regarding 2019, but not looking great for the subscription service.

As a teen player of 64 original and gamecube melee my friends and I would pause the game to see how much we could see. No harm done.

Welcome to Super Smash, a fun game full of unlockables for 13 and up. If pro gamers need the characters unlocked for tournament play they should play through their games. Unless it's too hard for them in which case.....maybe not call yourself a pro smash gamer.

@JoeDiddley for that SNES feel you can play Ultra Street Fighter II in classic mode or Megaman X-X3 on the Megaman X Legacy Collection. The Capcom Beatemups Bundle also includes several arcade games that ran nearly identical on SNES hardware.
Hopefully Nintendo gets us some Super Nintendo goodness through the online service for 2019, but it remains to be seen.

Playing Smash with my roommate who has obsessively played every main console Smash with me for days worth of hours each. Right thumb hurts from 7 hours straight fighting yesterday so I'll have to try and rest it for more Smash tonight....may load up Genesis classics though, been looking forward to that so much. Also got the Katamari Damacy demo to mess with and Risk (much easier set up than a IRL Risk board) on the Switch has been great fun, so maybe some of that as well.

@JaxonH Is Atari Flashback actually coming dec 7 or is that a placeholder date?
Walmart claimed they'd have it in october so preordered it from them. They took their money from my credit card, gave me a shpping arrival date, then the day afterward claimed it'd been delayed until 31 december. I demanded a refund and got it within a few days.
Since then I'm leery about whether or not anyone has a real date for the atari collection.

@Spoony_Tech yeah that game seems a bit disturbing. Not like senate committee hearing disturbing, but creepy nonetheless.

@bombjack this may be true, but how many gamers have a NAOMI in their homes?

House of the Dead 2, Gundam Sidestory 0079, Powerstone, Toy Commander, and Resident Evil Code Veronica are my wishlist for Switch gaming.

Currently playing Fallout 76 on Xbox One.
Pokemon Blue on 3DS while hanging out with my wife playing Pokemon Lets Go Eevee.
Picked up Risk and Bethesda pinball tables on Switch for Black Friday, so I'll find some time to enjoy them on Switch.
Also finally caved and got Namco's Arcade Pac for $25 from Target. Coming in mail next week.

If you don't have a Switch, or have a smaller game collection, now is the best time to expand. Or wait another year for next Black Friday's sales.

That seals it. I need this as a christmas present. I haven't played since Civ2 and 3, but I haven't heard a single bad review (user or professional) since this game came to Switch.

@Pod perhaps I'll try the old "switch controller after every level complete/death" like ye elden times of NES and Super Nintendo. That way my friend and I can play together.

This game looks fun.
Love Smash TV, Enter the Gungeon, Gauntlet, and Hammerwatch so this seems right up my alley.

I paid 5 bucks for this on Wii and felt like I wasted my money. Get Go Vacation or Super Mario Party instead.

Super Mario Bros 3 and Broforce. Wonderful games.

SNES, gameboy, and N64 games would be nice. I like the good NES games but please do more than 3 of them a month during 2019. Free indies, 1st party switch games, or real member discounts would be nice too. I rarely play online so its all about the games for me.

I'll play each of these for a few minutes. Metroid is too hard for me while the other two are okay, but not for long.

@Silly_G I doubt Pokemon will takes sales away from the sale of a niche collection of old games. Those of us who want the SNK collection are going to pick it up. Getting pokemon for the wife and this for me.

By Grabthar's hammer. What a savings. 😒
