I was telling people this is going to be not as great as they think but alas, people tried to convince me how convinced they were that this is going to be amazing.

I'm interested in what the Level Maker is going to look like this time around.

3DS rocks im hoping for 3DS 2 with better graphics but dual screen and with the 3D effect in tact.

@Cobalt the Switch tax

@fbnaulin is that Stocke as your profile pic?

i hope for a 3DS 2 with 3D capability.

will wait til deep sale and when all the "dlc" is released.

I hope it's dual screen.

No thanks.

Waluigi needs more story before being put into Smash as a playable character so I don’t mind if he’s not playable. He’s just not iconic enough to be part of it more than an assist trophy.

glad they made some real quality content worth the money, the rest of the season pass content was not enough to justify the price tag.

@thesilverbrick it's been bad on releases. Only family friendly stuff this year. Not one single player game from Nintendo I can think of except captain toad which is a port. My first purchase this year for switch is going to be octopath. Hopefully next year is better

@ekwcll wasn't talking to you, I was talking to the guy who said he didn't understand why people are bothered by the ports. Obviously if you didn't invest in a Wii u you don't care. For all the core fans that did though they are getting shortchanged. A lot of Wii u owners went out and bought the Switch either on release day or first few months because again they are the core Nintendo fans who stuck around in dire times. So after seeing as year 2 exclusives are more than half ports is disappointing and there is no sign of them stopping using ports as filler games throughout the Switch's life. Also Nintendo knows its fans love to collect so they throw in a paltry addition to the game only on Switch, don't allow a Wii U download and price it for full price. This isn't the Master Chief Collection we're talking either and sometimes graphics are barely improved. Its one of the reasons I'm out of the loop until year 3 when we hopefully start seeing a bigger annual lineup. There won't be any excuse not to have more than 5 new games next year unless their handheld divisions really are working on a 3ds successor.

@Joker13z that logic goes out the window when a lot of core Nintendo fans DID buy a WII U and they have to put up with port after port of what they already have. Its way too much and there hasn't been a true gamer's game released all year and won't be until Smash.

I had a nightmare last night about my 3DS not being as stable as usual.

3DS is as good and iconic as SNES and PS2.

@NEStalgia idk about that. yeah he sounds professional to the point where he rarely makes a mistake but that doesn't take away from his personality. he's got a sense of humor and that's apparent, he also laughs when he's caught on the PR stuff and I think he's got the strongest presence out of the other guys. the guy's got memes out of things he actually said and did. He also isn't afraid to get silly in skits. Him and Phil are tied for me.

@mgnoodle he’s excellent at his job and he is able to formulate a response that is both professional, mindful and one that is constantly teasing fans. Not sure why he gets bad rep. It’s pretty easy to extract what you need from him.

It will be his swan song for the series. I'm sure he's sick of it but Nintendo said lets end this once and for all, help us with final ultimate version for this new console and you can move on to what more interests you.

As far as a new one completely we will probably not see another one in 7 years at least after this one.

ugh when i thought i had a site (NintendoLife) that didn't have Fortnite news I get proven wrong. I'd rather not see this game everywhere anymore.

Not gonna happen. How are they going to meet demands of today's gaming desires? 4K 60fps+ with HDR and Dolby Atmos with near instant controller feedback at the mercy of your internet connection? That's not happening any time soon and hardware demands are going to increase with new Unreal Engine and next gen graphics.

@mister_magnus just make sure to prioritize the objectives. don't worry about killing every enemy.

hmm if this is Xbox One X enhanced and has HDR i'll have to skip the Switch version.

@WrongChops yeah im not expecting Shakespeare either, you're going to the far end with that one. also if Odyssey didn't have a strong story it would have not been as good of a game. The story and game design went hand in hand.

@WrongChops I take it you don't want a decent story in a Mario tennis game's story mode.

this ain't a core game, the main pokemon game is expected 2019.

Looks like a toddler toy no thanks

Not sure about it if the story mode is contrived. Donkey Kong won't let you pass if you don't beat him in match? How hard can it be to write something that makes a little more sense.

@NEStalgia what's wrong with having some choices?

@shani the point is you don't know what the good part of the gameplay is. you misunderstand the game and only got through the tutorial but think you already know the depths of the game. you say there is no challenge and yet have not tried any challenging content even though it's in the game. so to say the game is not challenging and the gameplay is uninspired, dull or a waste of time while also saying "I know what I'm talking about" is ignorant. if you never said "I know what I'm talking about" I wouldn't even have replied because you don't.

3DS is the best portable on the market.

i know it would never happen but i would like to have a Warcraft Warriors game.

That's almost 10% which is huge for only having maybe 3 games on the console and only one that is not a port. Also the system was only out for a year.

@shani how can you say 98% of the rest of the game is cake when you only played the story mode? Those “bonus” modes are the ones where players get 100+ hours of gameplay and where the game starts getting more demanding. When I finished fire emblem warriors I was lvl 35 maybe and not even close to maxing out a single character in their skills. It becomes more than button mashing on the harder difficulties. This is why you probably don’t like these games. You haven’t faced any difficulty yet because you think story mode is all there is to the game when everybody who enjoys these games knows that’s just a tutorial with cinematics and a story.

@shani these games usually only start after the story mode (tutorial) is complete so I don't think you know what you're talking about. The story mode is cake.

If you don't like the genre or think you may not, try to think of this game in a different light. I used to not like or care about it but one time I read that essentially warriors games are cleaning games, you clean areas by fighting and you don't have to kill/clean everything, you just have to do it enough to complete objectives so you can rush passed mobs. This made it way more enjoyable than thinking that it was a game where I had to kill everything and yet barely any enemy was a challenge but I also failed missions because I focused on killing enemies than finishing objectives. The game only starts when you complete story mode (aka tutorial).

we need an amiibo of this.

will be finally returning to my Switch for this since I last played it in December.

On one hand it's better for the business model as there are sooo many games releasing on it that virtual console would eat up sales and advertising of third parties including indie devs. I'd be stoked about this news if I was an indie dev.

Filler until they get some new games done. I think the hype will start again at E3 with Mario Tennis releasing soon after.

Glad they are still getting work from Nintendo after their original IP Ever Oasis didn't work out.

looks good but yeah that title card needs a rework.

Switch 2 won't be 4K, probably 1440p 30-60fps.

So glad about this. One of the best gaming platforms ever made. Looking forward to a true successor in the future. Hopefully a 3DS 2. I've been playing my 3DS more than the Switch which I have barely touched since Odyssey.

@Fandabidozi and Yoshi

@MrBlacky trophies yes, achievements no. you get wallpapers for your dashboard every time you unlock an achievement

I want a 3DS 2.

@ThanosReXXX It's a fantastic list for anybody that mainly games on the go or uses switch as their main gaming platform.

@Thanosrexxx never said software drought. I said there's a drought of new experiences/games if you play/own other platforms. It has only 4 and one is mainly for kids (Labo) while another is rehashed, short and mediocre (Kirby). that's why I'm only excited for octopath traveler and am on the fence for Mario tennis, will depend on how good that campaign is. Other than that I haven't touched my switch since December. Actually playing my 3ds more. If I didn't have a PC or X1 or Wii U then id be super stoked but most gamers have played a lot of these games or already have a platform they can play it on.

@ThanosReXXX If Switch is your only console this is a great selection but if you have had a Wii U and either Xbox/Ps4/PC this gen then there are only 2 games on that list that are new: Octopath Traveler and Mario Tennis Aces. In that case it is definitely same as Wii U with the droughts. I am hoping this improves in coming years though snd end of 2018 is looking good with a Smash Bros and Fire Emblem.
