While as a Wii U owner I would see the focus on fresh games, I would buy up again Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE in a heart beat. This game was Persona light, but so much more manageable with my adult responsibilities!
I might have in and get Battle Chased, been eyeing this game for a while, but on the other hand, I am stocked up on games. I guess I make it a "Depends on what I get for Christmas!". This title and the already reduced Meha Man 11. Already made me a reminder on my phone!
It's no wonder the Switch is doing so good in Japan. It is catered to a japanese audience, since you can play on the go, in a land that has a lot public transportation. In addition you can still play it without a lot of space as you can put the Switch up with a stand, without a TV. If you are having a TV, the motion controls are more forgiving / don't require as much space, as the Wii. So overall the appeal is quite big.
"the performance has begun with the consumer's prior express consent, and with the acknowledgement that he will lose his right of withdrawal once the contract has been fully performed by the trader"
The problem is, the eshop forces this on you. If you want to buy something you have to waive your right upon buying.
@Audigore0733 The problem stems not for being able to make preorder, but from not be able to withdraw from the contract. For example, if you preordered a game, but want to reconsider, you can't do that currently on the eshop. This is where the lawsuit is aiming at.
I guess this seals the fate for Sakurai. That poor man probably is being led to a room within the Nintendo R&D basement and gets shackled to a computer...
@NotTelevision I'm honest here, I bought the Season Pass of Smash, because this is for me a "More of a good thing" than "Needed to flesh out the roster". Yes, it's still an attempt to cash in a bit more, Nintendo is no saint, but with over 70 fighters already in the main game, I have no gripe...
@Painay I understand that not all had a Wii U and experienced those titles, so I can understand Nintendo bringing them to the Switch. I hope they have more to offer though.
Hopefully next year a third and first party momentum is back in full swing, I am modestly optimistic with already some games announced for Switch like Doom Etenrnal, MK IX, but also some more obscrue titles that are for PS4 & Switch, and hopefully anticipated titles like Metroid 4, Bayonetta 3 or the next Shin Megami Tensei.
Though I do hope the Wii U porting stops. As one of the handful of Wii U owners, I have enough
1) I can perfectly use my Joycon Controllers with the Nintendo Online offer
2) I can't use those NES controllers with Nintendo Switch games
3) ???
4) No Profit
I am interested in Mega Man 11, so I am happy, still need to hear back from a friend if I can acquire a game card (not sold in my region) from a friend, which would be preferred for me, but if not a deal, is a deal.
It was only last month that Reggie described the NES and SNES Classics as "limited time opportunities" that were designed to bridge the gap between Wii U and Switch, so this news isn't all that surprising.
Seems Nintendo wasn't sure if the Switch would meet the same fate as the Wii U and cashed in quickly, but now with having some system sellers under their belt they probably want to use the nostalgia feeling to boost the Nintendo Switch Online program.
a] The success of 3rd party titles like Octopath Traveler, to show that the Switch is worth their time and don't need to bring in Nintendo Mascots. Even Bethesda was happy with the sales of DOOM, Skyrim & Wolfenstein., which probably lead to DOOM Eternal coming to Switch now.
b] Panic Button's ability to bring demanding titles to the Switch [sure they can't work on every title, but demanding titles can be ported]
The thing is, while the Switch has original games, even Nintendo graced it with a lot of Wii U ports. Granted the Wii U was not a big system seller, so Nintendo can tap into a new market with those games, but as a person owning a Wii U I am not excited to see those ports and would have rather more new titles to choose from.
Well, I think that seals the fate of Sakurai on not doing another Smash. Nintendo will probably shackle this poor dude to a computer and make sure that this series will continue to print more money.
I stayed awake for it, but fell asleep midstream, because of how boring the presentation was... also I was quite surprised with how they handled the prie for best RPG; it was like "Really, you drop it all together with eSports?"
I also had hoped for better announcements in general, but ohhhh well!
a] selling the switch for 277,00 € b] having a games sale (go to saturn.de/3f2) where you can get three games and get the cheapest one for free
So if you looking for a way to cheaply bolster your library, or as I did it took advantage of the whole deals to get myself a switch, too, you might not wait long.
Already backed and now happy I get to play it on Wii U, especially when Off-screen mode becomes a reality. nothing better, than to wake up, take the pad and snuggle a bit further into the bed :3
@NodesforNoids
Won't happen that this is not coming to Nintendo hardware. It was funded on Kickstarter where you could acquire also Wii U and 3DS keys. Also they want to release the game on Steam, 3DS and Wii U at once (well at least during the same week). Currently they are into submission mode, and if one party rejects the code, than everybody else has to wait. Also they would need a release slot for that the same time and that isn't easy to pull off, too ;p
Taken from their last Kickstarter update
"FOR SHOVELRY! After near endless days of bleary-eyed internal testing and bug fixing, we opened this week by creating a gold master candidate of Shovel Knight! That means we have a potentially finished version of the game which is ready to go live!
Now we are in the submission and certification process for platform holders. That’s when external teams verify that the game works as expected. If everything checks out on their side, then they’ll prepare the game to go live on their digital storefront and get back to us with a true, solid release date.
But! If they uncover any issues that somehow slipped by our team then the game will “bounce” back to us for a fix! So… at this point, even the Yacht Club is playing the waiting game. "

Nice game. Not an instant buy, but I look into this. I think it's pretty neat to get a full sound when all targets ar lit, dood and this adding up target by target. It's like an instant reward for doing something right!
