@BanjoPickles You aren't gonna see most indies do huge graphical showcases due to budget. That's limited to first party and major third party devs for the most part.
So yeah...75% of the indie library will most likely always be 2d or top down with a few pretty looking 3d games thrown in there haha.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Unless you're being sarcastic, what would get you hyped then? Cause I'm pretty excited for about half of those games shown. A third of them at minimum.
@Kalmaro How do you almost always post the first comment on articles up here? Do you have a nintendo life tab open at all times that auto refreshes or something lol.
@Octane Huh? A lot of these games are on other platforms or coming to multiple platforms. So I really don't understand the point you're trying to make here.
@Ralek85 Well if he's including eshop games as well it's very easy to get to that amount. I think I have almost 20 between eshop and retail. Been playing games my whole life and none of those are double dipping haha.
Holy hell...$149??? That's half the price of the Switch itself! It would take a lot more than a free copy of cheap game to get me to buy that haha. I could buy 3 full retail Switch games at Amazon or Best Buy for that. O_o
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Pretty sure it would sell more Switches. As another person stated, that's one of the main selling points of Nvidia's shield tablet and tv box. And in my opinion, the switch would be better than either of those for streaming.
I'm guessing they didn't allow any pictures of video to be taken of the game running at the booths? Every article I've found has none. Is this a common e3 practice? I've never been or looked into that.
@KillerTan98 It was $9.99 to unlock the full game a few years back. Probably still the same price these days. I'm hoping it'll cost that on Switch. If so, I'll get it on there too since it could have benefited from physical controls but an otherwise fun game.
@neufel Ah mmk. Well there are just some certain retail games I like to have the convenience of digital and an abundance of gold coins. I can normally get 20% off retail copies. But only a $4 difference here in the states would sway me more to a few more digital purchases
Not an abundance of them mine you. But I think it would be cool if they provided that option for me and others as a my nintendo reward for preorders. Since I have waaaay too many coins that are just going to expire anyways.
10% preorder discount from my nintendo? Does EU usually get these kind of specials on there? Cause I wish us in the US did. It would actually tempt me to get more digital games.
Incredibly stupid decision. Why go backwards from previous systems like the 3ds that let you do save backups? There better be cloud storage for saves then when we start paying for online. I adore my switch but damn... -_-
It looks like he's about to crush that poor controller in his big ol hands haha. Never watched wrestling but I really like John Cena. Always seems like a real down to earth kind of dude.
I didn't think there were that many accolades to pile on lol. I keep hearing from people who played it that it's just "ok"
Granted I haven't tried it yet so I can't really speak on how good it is or isn't.
And wait...why is it ps4 footage being shown and not the Switch version at this point??? I mean surely they can get some easily right? It's like 2 weeks away lol
Now if we can only get a confirmation on Heroes getting localized. I really want that game on my switch. Would rather not have to go to the trouble of importing it if possible.
This is a long shot but anyone know if it has an english option for the text? If so, I'll probably just go ahead and import.
@Jaded_Drybones To be perfectly honest with you cause I can afford it and I want to lol. Sold an old backup console I had and 25 games over different platforms. But there is nothing wrong with not buying it at launch either. I didn't buy Wii U at launch.
Just so we're clear, neither people buying at launch or waiting to buy it later are wrong or right. Me buying it at launch doesn't somehow negate your reasoning.
@lighteningbolt79 Hey man, you asked a question and I answered you that yes I'm buying it for that reason lol. Same reason I bought a wii u. You asked if they are really that good for people to buy the system for...aaand I'm one of those people. Simple as that.
@lighteningbolt79 I have a ps4, xbox one, gaming pc, wii u, vita, and 3ds. I'm getting the Switch purely for the Nintendo exclusive games like Zelda and Mario. Which I'm pretty sure most people are.
@ThomasBW84 If they aren't standing in front of that store door 24/7 for a month, then they aren't "first in line" or can even come close to claiming they were waiting in line for a month. Let's be real here lol.
Some random nobody could just go there while they are sleeping and be standing there when one of them comes back and boom, "first in line" status immediately transferred to Mr. Nobody. I'd like to see someone do that actually so I can laugh when they try to make a daily video of their progress and some dude is literally standing in front of them haha.
NYPD would kick them off the streets during the very first night if this was even close to a real thing. What a joke. I'd actually love for them to sit there 24/7 and attempt it so they can freeze to death for nothing lol.
How is Xenoblade not a "real weapon" this holiday season and Mario Tennis and Amiibo Festival are? I really do not understand the complete lack of any mention of this game anywhere in this article.

Re: Oceanhorn Anchors In The Sheltered Harbour Of The Switch eShop This Month
It looks like it'll be $14.99 if you're to believe this site: http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/Switch/Oceanhorn/news.asp?c=74263
I visit them all the time so they're probably right. I'll be down at that price.

Re: Guide: A Breakdown of Confirmed Nintendo Switch Games and Release Dates
You forgot Dragon Quest Heroes 1&2. Unless I'm wrong, but it seems lists everywhere else include that as a confirmed title for 2017.
