Wow. That just blew up this community.

But actually, that was really disrespectful no matter how you put it.

No love for split-screen co-op?

@Niinbendo I'll definitely be waiting for the switch review too. And I hope you're right about the updates. It looked so promising from the start.

@Niinbendo Be careful with it looks at some reviews. From what I've heard, other systems have been extremely glitchy

Looks tempting. But the Switch has spoiled me. I need these games on the go. I'll just wait until they release the VC version of these games. If they ever do release the VC

I bought Metroid 2 on the VC, and really liked it. The problem was that there was no map so I could never tell where I was or if I had visited the same black and white area. Simple things like a good map makes more super excited for this game

I just booted up Ocarina of Time again before I saw this. Even though I never owned a n64 or Oot in my life, I still get the feels from playing it all over again.

Does anyone know what he means by a "Wing suit"? I don't ever remember a wing suit appearing in a metroid title

@Zyph You have to keep in mind, the Original Xbox and PS vita could both do voice chat. It's not a matter of power, but of optimization. Nintendo could do it extremely well, but I have a feeling many problems would happen with Discord, leading Nintendo to turn them down

Really had my hopes set on VC info/launch date, Animal crossing or Pilot wings. Oh well, there's always next year.

If animal crossing and/or VC info is released in the next couple of days, then this will go down as one of the best e3's for Nintendo ever. If it doesn't, it's still a solid win for the Big N.

The real question will be how this stacks up against the skyrim special addition and if it will have any bonus content.

@crimsontadpoles Its not. The VC will be there too

I would like at the very least- nes and snes games. Most of the nes games haven't aged well. And if in a future update n64 games come, it will be all the more better.

Obviously most excited for Nintendo's side of e3, but for once I'll actually be super excited for what Bethesda might have in store.

For 10 Gold you get Mario kart 8 Deluxe.... Starter guide?
... Eh. (Insert argument about how club Nintendo was better)

Was gonna skip this one, but for $20, I might actually bite, even if it is so late in the summer and school starts back up again

I understand how some would be skeptical. But this just makes sense. It promotes the Switch and the 3ds, which both aren't dead systems yet while also promotes 3ds owner to move to a switch. And switch owner are happy too because they now have another game to play. Win-win all around. If monster hunter was actually my type of game, I would be ecstatic.

ANY FRANCHISE on the switch is a match made in heaven! Because all these handheld versions are watered down or less graphically enhanced versions of their home console counterparts. But with the Switch there are no compromises! No need to choose, or have a portable and a home console version which aren't very compatible with each other. I would have never picked up monster hunter on the 3ds because I have the old 3ds and it has no c-stick nor would I get it on wii u because I would be tied to the TV. But I might be willing to give it a try because I'm not tethered to a small screen or a large screen. Monster hunter really would benefit greatly from the switch. But not as much as Animal crossing. Hint Hint

Ugh. So many bad choices. Click the joystick in to guard? Can't curve punches while moving while not using motion controls? Why not use the Right joystick for that? It feels to me that the traditional controls will be gimped. I wouldn't mind this as much if I wan't going to be playing this on the go, where I wouldn't want or couldn't use motion controls.

This could be a stellar game...or a completely awful one. Only time will tell.

I got a Dsi later in the ds' lifetime. As much as I love it, it was kind of disappointing to. Miss out on all the good gba games out there

As much as I wanted to love Breath of the wild, I never got very excited about much in the game. I've easily played about 80+ hours, but I still felt generally unimpressed. Perhaps I'm just getting more hard to please as I grow older and have less and less chances to play video games.

Give me VC and a big new title announced from an older ip like Kid icarus, Pilotwings, animal crossing and of course metroid and I'll be more than pleased.

Very happy to see this happened. I'm very glad they're listening to gamers. I was going to buy this before they mentioned the digital price cut, but now that they have, I think myself and others included will have much less a chance for buyer's remorse. Just having a game in the visual style of winder waker is enough for me to get excited.

April fools was a while ago...
But seriously, NEW 2ds XL? Will there be a new 2ds too? Or how about a mini? Sp? Lite? Can't we just keep this simple, better yet not at all?

First console I ever bought on launch day and I couldn't be happier! I just wish I could get some more titles like AC or pilot wings to balance out the Fast RmX's and other more difficult games. Anyways, it will be the games like Animal crossing which will bring in the casual gaming audience

Ha! That guy was right. There was someone stating a long time ago that there was going to be a third character because of one frame which showed the two sonics not following the rule of thirds. It was a really round-a-bout way, but he was right!

I can easily see the switch outselling the Scorpio. Games that have only promised next-gen graphics before they arrive to the consumer market never sell all that well. Just look at Sega. And unfortunately, I could also see Sony outpacing the Switch with as many ps4 as they've already sold. But who knows?

Just more games!
Animal crossing Switch!
Kid icarus Uprising 2!
Pilot wings!

(Oh.... and metroid....that would be nice...)

I'm personally shocked. Phantom hourglass, Imo was the easily the worst of all of the Zelda games in somewhat recent memory. The only way I had any fun with that game was by using an action replay to make the game somewhat entertaining. It's successor, Spirit tracks s much better done and I played it to death.

Zelda is a must - buy while Fast RmX looks really compelling

Don't care too much about these features, but if the community is hyped for this, that's always a good sign!

If there was ever a successor to the 3ds, it would be a cheap console, like a 2ds.

Really happy to see this news! I only hope they change their thoughts on "monthly renting" games for NES and SNES. I would be willing to pay a bit more just be get access to these games for as long as I pay for the service, like Sony and Microsoft are doing. This way, I'll finally get to play some of those VC titles I just couldn't justify shelling out money for.

For some reason, I REALLY don't like this. I wish they would commit in one way or another. Make Nintendo all 3rd party, or remain exclusive to Nintendo consoles. (Excluding mobile style like games for mobile phones of course)

Good to hear people speaking positively about it. It's been mostly the negative ones which get the most attention

Asuch as I love the 3ds, it shouldn't be be dead right before holiday season, if not right after. Because like some, I believe the Switch is a soft launch, meaning that it's taking its time, amassing games, features and gaining user feedback, all in time for the holiday season. It's at that time, Advertising should be pushed hard, and the 3ds should be dead, leading more people to pick a switch.

But on a side note, it might also benefit them if they released a Gameboy mini, like the nes mini. It would cater to the retro and low cost gaming people, while the switch would be more for the the higher end market

Reminds me of the Air race series. (AiRace?) Anyways, not too interested, but I won't decide until I see the price

I remember first seeing Arms, and thinking how utterly disappointing I was with Nintendo, and how they hadn't learned anything, especially with motion controls. But then I saw more gameplay, mechanics, and then I finally stumbled upon the fact that this game could also be played with a regular controller. It's that duel set up which could really drive sales. Some people really like the motion controls, and others hate it. This really gives people a chance to use their preference.

But seriously, the competitive gamers will always be using actual controls, even if the motion controls are phenomenal

Absolutely perfect for the Switch and it's audience, if Nintendo has judged right. While anyone can pick up this game on just about any other console or pc, the Switch makes the most sense

It's alot of little things, I have wrong with the Switch. Actually, it's not even the console at all, I LOVE the Switch. Everything about it seems really well put together. But aside from the console itself, it's most everything else which muddies things up. And i think the biggest culprit is the marketing. Everyone loved the straight forward marking that was the reveal trailer. But at the press event, things seemed to be all over the place. I still think they can fix this, but many (but not ALL) youtubers and news sites are making things MUCH worse. Nintendo needs to make a strong marketing statement, and then stick with it. "Home console gaming- on the go and on the TV". It would be even cooler if they tried to emphasize these huge world that they were making, or adding to the Switch, then say that you can buy a tiny console to play these BIG AAA games. Examples of these are BotW, Super Mario Odyssey, Skyrim, and Xenoblade 2

The only thing I don't understand is: How in the world did 1,2 Switch become a game which needed so much work done on it to give it it's full price?

@DizziParadise It just seems like they would have learned from their past already. And it also seemed that all these filler games like Animal crossing Amiibo festival and Federation force were just to lead us off from the fact that they were planning some main series games that were planned for the Switch. Who knows, it might come true. But as of so far, the future looks bleak.

@beazlen1 Steep

@QuickSilver88 I really wish I could believe you. But between a weak launch line-up and second of all, the switch seems to be really pushed as a portable wii 2 or wii U 2. The games which AREN'T Wii U remasters, are motion controls games from the wii era. I thought it was even clear to Nintendo at this point that all the wii gamers either moved on to Sony or Microsoft, or have been converted to mobile phone gamers. So the ones which are left are the die-hard nintendo fans, and the ps4 and Xbox one gamers. If nintendo really got some new third party games, even if they were ones the consumer could buy on another system, they might just buy it for the Switch because of the portability factor. But no one is going to buy 1,2 Switch, and even less likely buy a switch because of that game or really any of the other games. Not when the Xbox one and Ps4 already have bigger and better libraries

Eh. I love this game as my favorite Lego game, but even then it's not worth it rebuying. I'll just wait for the sequel

Most people here really don't seem that excited about this feature, but for me, this makes me totally hyped if this happened! If if the switch doesn't even support a game, you could still stream the PC version, making The Switch's potential library exponential

The Amazing Spider-man was a great Wii U game! I can't say anything about the sequel, but it was much better than the Batman games

@leo13 It's rumored to be $250, but could go all the up possibly to $350
