Tibob

So the full top 10 goes :

Mario Odyssey
Mario Kart
Zelda
Splatoon
1-2 Switch
Arms
Xenoblade
Kirby
Pokken
Bomberman

I'd love to know how many 1-2 Switch copies were sold during the first month, when games were so few that people would buy just anything.

You completely overlooked the "Mario VS Donkey Kong" series. It's a shame : these games are amazing ! Espacially the GBA iteration.

Guru Guru Gururin ?

@The_Mysteron Actually I was talking about Pilotwings.

@Kidfunkadelic83
Yes, please !
I'm pretty sure the IP would've been more successful if it had a proper roster of characters returning from iteration to iteration. Now I'm convinced the best move would be including Nintendo characters à la Mario Kart. (maybe along with them folks from '64)

@Miikko
If that's the case, don't worry that Nintendo's going to make it as easy as possible for them to get it on shelves quickly : N knows having the game delayed only on Switch doesn't look good !

Goldeneye - style FPS !!!

Trying to 100% Rayman Legends, and going on with LA Noire.

Outrun 3 !

@OnBeingHuman
Knight Terrors is a rather addictive runner. It's no revolution, but if you like the artstyle the few hours you'll spend on it are well worth two bucks !

Mystic Quest and Solomon's Club are really missing !

@citizenerased
Idk about Cave Story, but behind its cheap aesthetics Isaac is a deep game with an amazing amount of content. Got it day 1 for about 40$ and never regretted a penny of it !

@Giygas_95 Don't worry, I just found it a bit funny. But I agree they're incredibly badass !

@Giygas_95 " The Nazis may have been bad"
I love this sentence !

I 'll get the game eventually, but I might wait to be fully done with doom.

@roadrunner343
Shovelware has to do with the quality of the game. Being a port has to do with wheter or not it was available elsewhere before. So the issue is one of two things :

>> one wants games that are exclusive, but that's a false problem : why would anyone need others not to play the same game as him ?

>>one has already played the game, but then it's a very personnal issue.

@roadrunner343
I read you entirely. I said "you" not meaning you per se but meaning "one". I agree with your shovelware argument, but less with the subjective nature of the word "drought" : there's plenty of good games on the list, there's no denying that. Calling it a drought because of some screwed up criteria defies logic.

@ThanosReXXX
I was replying to roadrunner, I wanted to tag you as he was exchanging with you but I didn't do it properly.

@roadrunner343 @ThanosReXXX
I understand that some people are not hyped by ports/re-releases. But you can't just ignore them and claim there is "a drought" just because you're not interested in them. Otherwise how about people who only enjoy Versus Fighting games. Can they complain about a drought when for a couple of months there's none coming out ?

@Crono1973
Your expectations are not reasonable. As I told you, no one said there would be more exclusives than what is here. If you're unhappy about it you might consider selling your Switch I guess.

@Crono1973
An analogy is not meant at proving that two things are the same, but to clarify a fact that is relevant in both cases.

Here I was trying to make you understand that the Switch has a lot to offer, except for those who already had these experiences elsewhere (= "the people who own more than a Switch" as you said yourself).

I'm not sure if you played all those games elsewhere or if you just need exclusives for the sake of it but the fact that you disqualify games as worthy options doesn't make them disapear.

@Crono1973
Also everyone knows Switch cartridge taste very bad. That was as good a way to prove me wrong.

@Crono1973
Of course not. What do you mean ?

@Crono1973
Whoever told you there would be a lot of exclusive Sushi on Switch obviously lied to you. If need the games you play to be played only by people owning the same system you have, you might be happier some place else : there's "exclusives" coming (namely Nintendo games) but they won't be that many.

@MFD
Just like one's "absolutely favourite game"...
Anyway my point was not that we should keep playing the same games over and over. What I meant is that it's a very subjective point of view, relying on one's own experiences (=not all of us had Sushi for lunch). So complaints should remain on that note : "Not much for me : I've played most of these games already" is not the same thing as "What a drought ! There's nothing to play on this console !"

PS : I agree with you on one point : the "portability" argument has to stop. Everyone has by now understood that the Switch was a hybrid.

@koekiemonster
To me complaining that "Switch has mostly ports" is like passing by a restaurant and going "I had sushi for lunch already. How can this be appealing to anyone ? I don't understand how they're not out of business yet !"

It's going to be tough to reach people when they're opposite the Street Fighter collection and more "friendly priced" Neo Geo releases such as Garou.

@Alikan
I didn't know there was a demo coming up for Dark Souls and Mario Tennis. Do we know when they'll show up ?

I'm getting Little Nightmares and Dark Souls... then waiting for Octopath in july !

@Ooyah
The Lost drove me nearly insane on 3DS (but you didn't start with Holy Mantle back then...)

A full three days ARMS demo, that's great news !

I didn't know this game even existed and I'll have forgotten about it ten minutes from now.

@Thisismycomment
"Can you explain why there were reports that it didn’t sell as well as they hoped then?" You mean Wolfenstein II ?
Because it released on the very same day as Mario Odyssey and Assassin's Creed, and merely a week before CoD:WWII.

@Thisismycomment
Did any game undersell "suposedly because people were waiting for it to come out on Switch" ?

Same day or delayed does matter : some people just can't wait so they'll get the "home console" version, and then 3 or 6 months later when it shows up on Switch some might get it again on a portable system. I doubt anyone would buy two copies of a gameon the same day : one for the portability, the other for the Hi-Res.

@Thisismycomment
I'm not sure it makes sense businesswise actually : if I get it right porting a game to the Switch require time and funds. So delaying a ready-to-go game on Xbox and PS4 (and therefore lose money) doesn't seem to be the way to go.

Plus some people might "double dip" on Switch, but not the other way around.

Admit you too did check both "Nothing for me" and "No Thing".

This game seems to be very time consuming... but if I had the time I'm sure I'd love it !

It was very disappointing. I think everyone was expecting a longer broadcast. It's not very clever to gather everyone to watch your stuff and then come up with something that short and expeditive. There's tons of indy games coming so why not talk about them ?

@Alexface
The list is not out yet. I'm pretty sure they'll put it up as soon as it is.

Hope there'll be some discounted indies, like Cave Story or Human Ressource Machine !

Not disappointed. They're doing everything they can I'm sure... so it will come around whenever it's ready.

I'd love to know what Snipperclips creators SFB Games are up to !

@Bizzyb King of Cards coming this year.
Might be they'll announce tuesday on the Nindie direct when it's coming out (if they don't announce it's out "right now").

@Bunkerneath
Bought it on 3DS, and then again on Switch. Honestly I never regreted doing so : the game looks great on Switch, and is worth every penny.

@GrailUK Me too !
I know many people are annoyed by the Switch bringing back classics from the last few years, but I missed most of those games so for me it's perfect !

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Well if you're not trolling here, what are you doing ? Please note I'm not calling you anything, just calling out on your behavior on this site.

@thesilverbrick
They actually planned a "AAA 3rd Party Direct" only to please @SLIGEACH_EIRE but cancelled it right away along with the games, when they realised he'd remain unsatisfied as most of the games weren't Switch exclusives.

Papers please, please !

Also, I'd love to finally play Fez.

I didn't know about this game. Seems great !

@Pod
That was one of my very first games. So hard ! So great !

The level editor feature, though, was not thought through : there was no battery save so if you could spend an hour or so designing a very clever level, it was only for the sake of it.
