I don't really understand this, but maybe it'll turn out okay. Might make Salmon Run a bit more enjoyable if you can't play it whenever you want.

I'm pumped. I didn't play the first one, but if the testfire was any indication, I'll lose my entire life to this game, lol.

Probably the only games from that list that I'm gonna be buying are Splatoon 2 and Mario Odyssey. I might consider Mario + Rabbids depending on the reviews, though.

Looks like my PS4 will get more usage this year than I expected. Definitely looking forward to next year's Switch lineup, because I'm not really excited for anything this year aside from the two games mentioned above. I would be all over Skyrim, but I've already put hundreds, if not thousands of hours into that game.

Maybe there will be an indie game or something that surprises me, though.

@Timppis That was just a rumor by Laura Kate Dale, I think.

Hope it doesn't suck as much as the movie did.

That's good to hear. I just hope their games improve in quality a little. Some of their new stuff has been great, but others have been a bit so-so.

Toys to Life can basically be thrown into a pit, doused in gasoline, and set on fire for all I care.

Gonna avoid this direct. I want to have some surprises left when I get the game.

Seems like a bad time to skip out on support for Nintendo, since the Switch is clearly succeeding, but oh well.

@AirElephant I'm scarred for life after clicking on this article and seeing that picture.

Meh. Kinda strikes me as a filler launch title for when people beat Zelda and didn't have anything else to play.

I don't view the lack of units beyond 2017 as a bad thing. It means more chance of the Switch Virtual Console coming.

I don't know if they "causally" announced the SNES Classic, but they definitely "casually" announced it.

I guess we know why there's no Switch Virtual Console.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Like I said before, I recommend actually using a controller before you critique it. The vast majority of people have no problem using the Switch with the JoyCons in the grip or in portable mode. The most frequent complaints I hear about are holding individual JoyCons for multiplayer and holding both JoyCons in each hand. Holding a single JoyCon for playing multiplayer isn't ideal, but that's intended for quick multiplayer sessions when on the go, rather than long sessions at home. Holding a JoyCon in each hand isn't necessary at all, due to the grip.

As for power, the Switch is more powerful than the Wii U which you love singing praises about, so I don't really understand why you're using that as an argument. Besides, Nintendo stopped caring about power after the Wii era. Nintendo consoles also haven't had great levels of third party support since the SNES.

I also disagree with the statement about the Pro controller. I prefer the Switch Pro controller to the Wii U's (granted, I didn't use that one nearly as often because I'm not a Wii U owner, so it could be that I'm just not used to the Wii U one), and even if some people think it is slightly inferior, it's still one of the best controllers on the market. Not many people would disagree that it's better than the Dualshock 4, for example.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE It has the biggest Nintendo game ever in the form of Zelda as well as the fastest selling Mario Kart game ever, and it's also getting the first non-linear Mario since Sunshine, Splatoon 2, Metroid Prime 4, a mainline Pokemon game, and presumably games like Monster Hunter (technically this already coming, it just isn't localized yet), Smash, and Animal Crossing, as well as many other smaller IP. If the Switch doesn't succeed even with that lineup, no future Nintendo console will, either. They're bringing almost everything to the table.

It also doesn't hurt that the Switch is a very attractive console in terms of its functionality, and people can actually understand what it does, unlike the Wii U. Plus, Nintendo is actually marketing it.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE You're very quick to judge a controller you've never used.

And yes, the Switch library will completely destroy the Wii U's library in very little time. There really is no comparison at all, especially when you consider the fact that the Switch will get pretty near all of Nintendo's major franchises as well as some of the smaller ones.

The portability is also killer. I'll take a portable console that can play the best Nintendo games we've seen since the Gamecube over a clunky system that has a toy-looking tablet for a controller and doesn't have nearly as many good games IMO.

The Switch isn't perfect, and it is missing some features like Netflix and a browser (I don't know why anyone cares about that in this day and age where practically everyone has 5 different devices that have Netflix and internet access, but oh well), but I've had more fun in the few months that I've had with it than I have with any other console in years. That definitely counts for something, at least for me.

This is just my opinion, but this definitely feels more like the Nintendo from the NES to the Gamecube era than it does the Nintendo from the Wii/Wii U era.

@jeffri That's probably true. I didn't experience that, because I've never played a Metroid game, but I can definitely see how the MP4 announcement overshadowed the Yoshi one.

@Alikan Not denying that. I just would never have thought Kirby would get that reaction, especially since we've had way more Kirby games than Yoshi games, at least to my knowledge. I didn't start following Nintendo until recently, so I don't know for sure.

I'm really surprised that Kirby was talked about more than Yoshi. That games looks way more appealing, at least to me.

Kind of a bad time to join the console market again, what with the PS4, PS4 Pro, Xbox One, Xbox One X, and the Switch.

It doesn't have nearly as much eSports potential as something like Splatoon, but we'll see.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE They didn't show the games because there's no footage to be shown. It's better they let everyone know that the games exist to set people's minds at ease, and then show footage when the games are actually ready to be shown.

@Proust Fixed it for ya.

I find it funny how people were whining for Metroid and Pokemon on the Switch, and now some people are whining that the games were announced without any footage of the games themselves. People are impossible to please.

I thought it was a great E3 overall. I personally would have liked to see Animal Crossing, but I assume we'll get an announcement for that later when they announce their Animal Crossing mobile game.

@cameronw3st Buying a Nintendo console for third party games hasn't been a good idea since the N64.

Already own:

Breath of the Wild + DLC
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Buying:

Splatoon 2
Super Mario Odyssey
Smash (if it comes, which it probably will)
Animal Crossing (if it comes, which it probably will)
Pokemon (Not totally sure about this one, but I would be really surprised if I didn't end up wanting to buy it)

Maybe:

ARMS
Mario + Rabbids
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Metroid Prime 4
Kirby
Yoshi
Project Octopath Traveller
Monster Hunter XX (If it gets localized. I might not buy it even then, depending on how good MH World turns out to be)

I'm sure as time goes on and more games get revealed, plenty more will be added to that list, but that's it for the time being.

@MrGawain Parents walking into the store will still see Mario either way, even if it released this summer. It's probably even better for it to release earlier anyway, since people doing early Christmas shopping will see it.

@Nintendoforlife I wasn't expecting it this year, and I certainly didn't expect to see Smash at all, considering we already have ARMS and Pokken. I just thought they might announce Animal Crossing for a 2018 release. I still wasn't that surprised that it wasn't there, though. I figure they'll want to announce it later alongside their AC mobile game or something.

@Yorumi Yoshi still looks better than Kirby though, at least to me.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Still way better than the Wii U's first year lineup.

Very good E3. Disappointed by the lack of Animal Crossing, though.

That seems to be his answer to a lot of things.

@foobarbaz The Switch has only been out for a few months, and it's going to have a good library a lot faster than something like the PS4 did. There was very little worth buying on that system for quite a while.

I fail to see why millions upon millions of people would buy an Xbox One X just for 4K resolution. Not many people wanted an Xbox One before, and not many will want one now.

@JaxonH It does sound very interesting. I'll definitely keep an eye on it. Kind of a bummer if the Switch is gonna be getting the less ambitious games, but oh well.

@JaxonH Did your opinion of World really change that dramatically? You were roasting it pretty hard the other day.

That sets my mind at ease a little, since you would have a lot better idea of what makes a good Monster Hunter game than I would, considering how little of the games I've played compared to you. I'll still be really bummed if no MH game comes to the Switch in the West, but at least I'll have some form of Monster Hunter to become addicted to again if World turns out to be good.

They're totally screwing us over if they don't bring Monster Hunter to the West.

Best part was Pokemon IMO. I would have liked to see the Odyssey trailer, but I closed my eyes for that part to avoid spoilers, lol.

It was really good. Kind of bummed there was no Animal Crossing or Western Monster Hunter, though.

They won E3.

@holygeez03 Because it's a Ubisoft game.

Looks beautiful visually. Not really a genre I'm a fan of though, so I doubt I'll be buying it.

Ubisoft won E3 so far. Now we just need to see if Sony or Nintendo will dethrone them, which they probably will.

@datamonkey There will be more announcements during the first hour of the Treehouse. Not sure about anything past that, though.

@gatorboi352 Fair enough.

@gatorboi352 Why do you still post on this website then, exactly? Just curious, because I don't post on the Microsoft forums because I don't own or care about Xbox.

All they need is an Animal Crossing reveal and I'll consider it a great E3.

Some info on the Virtual Console and apps like Netflix and YouTube would be nice as well, considering they were strongly hinted at by Reggie (The apps, that is).

Anyone who liked Breath of the Wild should seriously consider this game.
