It sounds to me that Doug Bowser has thwarted the plans and Nintendo will be playing things close to the chest in the future, focusing on only a few games in the near future rather than ten months out

Luigi's mansion 3 outsold super mario maker 2, no wonder support stopped for super mario maker 2

Wow, super mario maker 2 did not make the cut, no wonder support is going to stop

Of course EA decides to put the console with 55 million units as their last priority

FIFA is one of them, but if there are multiple games, I wonder what the other(s) will be? Cross your fingers for a madden

This is an excellent article that talks about both sides of the coin

This is an important moment for EA, which system will they support more: the switch (with over 55 million users) or stadia (with 1 million users)

This could mean a May or July direct...or another mini-direct

I would buy an EA game on switch...and only switch because everything should be on it

EA wishes it supported the switch enough to have a best hit

This was really well done!

I really wish the original roller coaster tycoon would come to the switch...it is on the iPhone so it could work on the switch too

They already do this for past games, it is called Nintendo switch online service (NSO). He wants them to monetize new indie games I guess, but I don’t think he is speaking to the right audience for that (retro gamers are the primary audience of the big N).

This certainly is an interesting what if

I wish these games would come to switch...Oracle of ages is my favorite

It is more likely that remote access from home has complicated secrecy

I am skeptical of this, but I could see a simple port of some of these

This is really only the first half of the year too...I wonder what the second half will look like?

I’m surprised there has been no attempt for a call of duty, even a general port from the past for some kind of presence.

Now it’s time to speculate what the big first party game of the year will be (beyond animal crossing)...Mario strikers? Pikmin 4? Star fox racing/unannounced retro project? Super Mario party 2? Metroid remastered/pikmin 3/3D world? Breath of the wild 2? Something new? Lots of options, I think Nintendo is still figuring out what will be ready by holiday.

Or it just uses an engine that allows the switch on less demanding games

Who honestly cares about cheating on animal crossing?

Nintendo’s switch reveal trailer also was about 2 minutes long as well, even with brief reveals like Mario odyssey, keeping people interested in what it can do without overstaying it’s welcome. The games are the most important reason to buy a game console after all, so showing the games goes a long way. I feel like the big consumer push will happen in the summer rough 5 months before November, which means Microsoft and Sony are still finishing up the lineup for what games will make launch. Even Nintendo kept most of the spring and summer games out of the initial reveal (close to the chest) until the second direct in January 2017. Specs seem to be more for the developers to encourage them to finish developing in time for the launch window and the die hard fans that are going to buy one anyway. After all, Sony did not call it’s video the PS5 reveal but instead the road to the PS5.

But when will they allow users to gift games (especially since most eshop games don’t release physically)

What do people think Sony would pay for them?

Wow, this really might be the end of e3 for the big 3

I agree that developing for iOS and Android screen sizes has become a nightmare. But I also think that the switch had more than good timing... the marketing, portability, and great games (two of the greatest games in its first six months) drove it to be a mega success

Merging of the two best games ever

At least it is a free feature for all players! Looking forward to trying it out! I like that I have yet to give this app any money, but have gotten 10+ hours of fun out of it

Normally, I would skip out on this sword fighter, but the Stage actually has potential with all of the Disney characters...unlike the horribly boring fire emblem stages

Hopefully these don’t take up resources in the Animal crossing dev team (Instead it should be the switch cloud team), because I would much rather prefer content than transfers

This is a relief, but it appears that this will be an update to NSO...does this mean that other games like Splatoon 2 will be applicable to this as well? I feel like it will just be a console wipe and full restore feature

Also, is this once per subscription term (aka if you subscribed for one month of one year)? Lots of interesting questions still remain, but it is nice that Nintendo is doing at least something about this!

The next smash bros will probably be 3D like that promo for ultimate

It still has to compete with fortnite, but at least it is a less crowded environment while the big call of duty’s waste potential profit opportunities

I hope that someone makes an example of these goofy rules and contests Atlas in US Court when they copyright strike

Honestly, they just need to add a way to backup all saves (in the event of loss of console, you could use the backup for the entire console once a year rather than a specific game to avoid cheating)...and add Donkey Kong Country to the library of games

I’m glad that these other companies can capitalize on Call of Duty’s lack of interest

Mario kart tour won best racing game in a year where Crash Nitro Kart came out and a new Sonic Racing

Sounds like Nintendo is taking a different approach by having title specific events, definitely a way to avoid needing a bunch of full directs and a way to differentiate from Sony’s state of play

The rotten tomato score is above 60%

The actual video translated into a cartoon really well

Still waiting for Donkey Kong country to arrive

I think cloud was the better fit

I’ve actually done this before to a family member. It does work.

I am very interested to find out what Gods and Monsters gameplay is like, E3 did not show us anything about that game other than the art style

At least it is still coming! I am looking forward to it!

While I agree that Nintendo is not a competitor to Xbox (it is a complimentary product), I think Playstation is a competitor that is taking a slightly different approach (as consumers would hope for competitors) to get the consumer dollar. I think a powerful offline console can still compete with a powerful cloud, as it is all about the games at the end of the day. I haven’t seen any pure cloud games that can only run in the cloud (except the disaster known as crackdown 3)

This almost sounds like he wanted cup head to be the main fighter

I don’t notice a difference, guess resolution doesn’t matter more than frame rate

I’m honestly shocked, the gameplay looks so good and yet they are flubbing it on the details like this
