Call me overly-optimistic, but I think we see Fortnite on Switch at least by the end of 2019. Heck, maybe this could even be a game Nintendo asks Epic to launch alongside the Nintendo Switch Online service.
I hope there's more than NES titles. I don't even mean things like Gamecube and N64 (although that would be awesome) If they just had NES, SNES, and maybe GBA, that would be great.
I played the demo of fluidity, and it was fun, but I feel like I would just as soon get Fluidity spin cycle on the 3DS. And the only other game that piqued my interest was World of Goo, and not only is that on the Switch, but it's cheaper there too. I am a little sad that there are a bunch of games I'll never play, but my family got the wii when downloading games right onto your console was unheard of, so we never really used the Wii Shop channel except for some virtual console games. (Super Mario 64, Super Mario Bros. 3, Kirby's adventure, LOZ:OOT, and LOZ:MM. Also, Mario Party 2 from Club Nintendo)
@BenAV @Megal0maniac Well that just completely changed my opinion of this game, and I am very happy they did that. I'l probably pick this one up now (Also, the dev doesn't seem like the guy who would block off bits of the story just because someones playing on an easier difficulty)
The problem is, I'm not a big fan of super tough games. This seems like fun but I'm worried I would pay $20 for it and then only play it for a few hours and get frustrated.
I was going to write this off as another mobile port, but it looks like they actually put in some effort to make it worth $7. If there were a level editor, this would most likely be a no-brainer, but I might have to look into it more before I make a decision.
@thesilverbrick I don't really see why it's so bad that @SLIGEACH_EIRE wants to know some big budget third-party games that are coming to Switch, because while you could classify Indies as AAA, You can't exactly have Night in the Woods and Wolfenstein II on the same list. (This is nothing against the quality of indie games, I'm just saying indie games tend to be very different from AAA games in terms of presentation and gameplay)
Personally, there are too many other great games I have yet to buy, and while I love the Portal series (Portal 2 is my favorite game of all time for Pete's sake) I think I'll give this one a skip.
@Nincompoop Nintendo: Okay guys, we need a new idea for the switch... Employee: Hey guys, check out this article I saw on the internet! Nintendo: GENIUS!!
I'm 15 hours in and have been having a great time. I'm just a little annoyed because I am now at a point where I have to grind for EXP because of a certain boss battle...
I've seen some gameplay of this, and it looks really fun. Also, it's been on Steam and Ps4 (I think) as well as mobile, so you can't really call it a straight-up mobile port.
I absolutely loved Dig 2, and it was one of my top games of the year. I never played Heist on 3DS or Wii U, so I'm very happy I'll be able to try this on Switch.
Honestly, this game looks like... What's the word? Oh yeah, garbage. I know I shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but I agree with most people that this looks like the kind of game that might be ¢99 on a phone, or even free. There's no way this should be $4.99.
@JLPick Golf Story is a fantastic game, and is a steal at the $14.99 price tag.
I expected the Switch to sell 7 mil this year, 8 tops. The fact that they have almost matched the lifetime sales of the Wii U in under a year is truly amazing.
I've never played a Street Fighter game, and I've been kind of on the fence about II for Switch, because I've heard V isn't great. However, this might just be the perfect time to get into the series.
Also, seeing as Valve is willing to port they're content onto consoles, perhaps we could get a Portal 1 & 2 double pack. If I could play Portal on the go, that would be a dream come true, especially with the level editor in Portal 2.

Re: Raise The Chequered Flag Because Mario Kart Tour Is Racing Onto Mobile Soon
It's gonna be tilt controls, and then tapping the screen to use items. I don't know how accelerating is going to work.

Re: Death Road To Canada Brings Roguelike Zombie Survival to Nintendo Switch
I've been holding off on this one because I wanted to play it local multiplayer. Now that it's coming to Switch, I'll definitely get it.
Re: Investigate Some Stranger Things As The Darkside Detective Heads To Switch
Oh boy @SLIGEACH_EIRE says something and immediately everyone starts complaining. This has never happened before...
Re: Hotel Transylvania Will Sink Its Teeth Into Nintendo Switch This Summer
I found the first movie to be okay, but I very much disliked the second movie. I doubt that either the third movie or the game will be better.

Re: Reggie On The Future Of Nintendo Labo Regarding Third Parties
On another note, I'm not really sure why adults are whining when Nintendo explicitly noted that it was aimed at children.

Well I guess I'll have to get a European Nintendo account to grab that Death Squared demo.

That picture looks familiar...
Re: Super Chariot Arrives On The Switch Later This Year
@link12684 To be fair, there are a lot of ports, and some people have already played these games, hence the frustration.
Re: Here's A New Glimpse Of Stardew Valley's New "Really Fun" Multiplayer Mode
I really hope it's multi-platform, because that way I could play on the Switch with one of my siblings playing on the PC.
Re: Alas, The World's Best Smash Bros. For Wii U Player Is Retiring
The fact that he could stay the center of attention in a fairly toxic community is beyond me. ZeRo, I give you my respect.
Re: Video: Nintendo's Track Record With Direct Broadcasts Points to Another One Happening Very Soon
I wouldn't get my hopes up...
Re: GameStop Tweets About Nintendo Direct, Then Quickly Deletes The Tweet
I would still expect a direct this month, unless Nintendo decides to troll everyone and announce a direct for February 1st.
Re: Nintendo of Russia Appears to Confirm Incoming Nintendo Direct
If it isn't revealed tomorrow, I'd say expect sometime next week.
Re: It Appears That Nintendo Has Unfinished Business With The 1080° Snowboarding Series
I think a new 1080 snowboarding on Switch is actually pretty likely.

Re: Slayaway Camp: Butcher's Cut Is A Killer Puzzler Slashing Its Way Onto Switch
I've seen some gameplay of this, and it looks really fun. Also, it's been on Steam and Ps4 (I think) as well as mobile, so you can't really call it a straight-up mobile port.

Re: Amazon Switch Game Placeholders Add More Weight To January Nintendo Direct Rumours
The Direct is supposedly coming on the 11th, so if that's true I'd look for confirmation on Nintendo's website by about the 8th.
Re: Nintendo Has Reportedly Delayed the Roll-Out of 64GB Switch Game Cartridges
How is this even a big deal if most developers aren't willing to get as big as 32 GB anyway?

Re: Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus Is Heading To Switch, Includes Exclusive Co-Op Mode
For about $15-$20 this would be great. However, I have a strong feeling in my gut that this is going to be a $30 game.

Re: Review: Yooka-Laylee (Switch eShop)
@JayJ So you made an account just to call someone out as being a "troll" when they're just expressing problems they personally had with the game?
Wow.
Re: Review: Enter The Gungeon (Switch eShop)
I would buy this right now if I had any money whatsoever.

Re: SteamWorld Heist: Ultimate Edition Storms onto Nintendo Switch This Year

Re: Review: WWE 2K18 (Switch)
@WhistleFish I don't think it's because of the content, it's because of the state it's in.
Re: Review: WWE 2K18 (Switch)
At least the PS4 version actually worked on day one...
Re: Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection Rumbles Onto Switch May 2018

Re: Bridge Constructor Portal Is Coming To Switch In Early 2018
Sorry for triple-post, but apparently it isn't out yet, so I will be able to wait until it comes out for console.
