These games should be great, but I'm skeptical about whether Ultra Sun and Moon deserve a 10. There were lots of small annoyances with regular Sun and Moon, such as a story that drags on with no way to skip cinematics, an annoying rival, festival plaza, and the sos mechanic. Maybe the Ultra games have fixed the issues with the older games, we'll see.

What's up with that title? Minimum of 2 years away is still very far off.

That's very ambitious. As long as they don't overdo it and have lots of Switches sitting on shelves, then next year should be very good for Nintendo.

I've been overlooking this game, but it's probably something I'd rather like. Maybe I'll get it on PS4 eventually.

Wasn't there already did a review for this, or maybe I'm getting muddled up with somewhere else. I only got this a couple of days ago, so I'm still in stratum 1.

So far, it seems to be at least on par with Etrian Odyssey 1 Untold. I wouldn't say it's as good as Etrian Odyssey IV, mostly because I preferred having the overworld and multiple smaller mazes instead of 1 huge labyrinth.

That's very optimistic. The Switch is doing very well, but I can't see it getting close to that number. Even the Wii hasn't hit that estimate.

That expansion pass seems rather expensive. I'm also not keen on the expansion pass model, I'd prefer to be able to just buy the new story and skip the other things.

Can't say that I'm very keen on the winner.

PS4 would have been my console of choice for this game anyway, so lack of a Switch port wouldn't bother me. It's still a day 1 purchase for me.

Etrian Odyssey V for me, since the physical release is on Friday.

Okay, I'm finally hyped now. That remix of the Team Rocket battle theme sounds fantastic, and it's nice to have other teams as well instead of just being completely gen 1 fanservice yet again.

Also, this trailer had a good amount of legendary bird pokemon in it

I've become rather wary of Mega Man inspired Kickstarter games with the word Mighty in the title, so I won't back this. If the final game ends up being brilliant, then I might get it.

My biggest worry with this so far is that it looks more like a copy and paste of Mega Man instead of taking inspiration from it.

A Nintendo Twist usually means either they're adding something cute and charming, or they're doing something complex and limited.

It's very unlikely Europe will get this. Atlus isn't releasing the special edition of Etrian Odyssey V with the soundtrack in Europe, and there's no reason why this will be any different.

Lots of fantastic games here. The Zero Escape series is exceptional, and Luigi's great for some more relaxed fun.

As long as Nintendo release plenty more great games, then it'll be a fantastic year for them.

Can't people just be happy about this without the whole stupid Nintendoomed thing.

It's lame that Europe didn't get a Halloween splatfest. I could never say no to a hot breakfest, so I'd like that team to win.

Gonna play plenty more Layton's Mystery Journey. Probably some Monster Hunter Generations as well, I've only get one Alatreon quest left then I'll be done with that game. And I've been replaying the old Tomb Raider III, so there'll be more of that if I have time.

Now that I've watched the entire Direct, it's looking better than I initially thought. I'll give it a try once it releases worldwide, I'm in no hurry to play it.

Looks alright, but not as great as the 3DS game New Leaf. Since I have New Leaf and since the mobile game will have microtransactions, I'll likely just skip the mobile game.

3D Platformer, but procedurally generated? I'm not sure that's a good combination.

I enjoy having the 3D effect, so it's a shame whenever a new 3DS game doesn't use it.

7am is a little early for me, so I might not watch it straight away. I don't have particularly high hopes for this, but who knows, maybe Nintendo will surprise me.

Thanks a lot for adding the transcript to the article, it was a good read.

All the recent news has got me more excited for these games, but I'm still not as hyped as usual for new Pokemon games. The Ultra Wormhole area sounds good, but I'm wondering whether there'll be lots to explore or whether it'll be linear and boring.

I didn't realise Etrian Odyssey V was releasing this soon, I thought it was going to be later on this year. I'll likely pick it up before too long.

Edit: Weird, EOV is available now on eshop, but it's still 2 weeks away from the physical release. Since I'm busy with other games now, and preordering a physical copy is considerably cheaper than buying on the eshop, I may as well wait.

Recording videos for only a select few games is a problem though. It should be available for almost all games.

My 3DS is still going to be keeping busy this year.

I was worried about these games at first, but the recent news has got me hyped up for them.

I'd still like more great games

Variety is good. There's no reason why the Switch can't have both mature games and kid friendly games.

@LiberatedAnimal I'm enjoying Layton's Mystery Journey so far, and it still feels like a true Layton game. The puzzles seem slightly less good than previous Layton games. Layton's Mystery Journey has plenty of memorable characters, but I still prefer Professor Layton more than Lady Layton.

So overall, it's good but it's not my favourite Layton game.

I'll continue through Layton's Mystery Journey, and perhaps some quests on Monster Hunter Generations if I'm feeling up for that (stupid cold ). Perhaps I'll also pluck a new game out of my backlog to play.

@Anti-Matter You're being way too paranoid. The reason they stated in the article is a sensible and plausible reason.

I can be agile in short bursts, and completely lack endurance. So agile for me. At least this one is a much better choice than that stupid Europe choice.

It was fun back in the day.

There's a lot of mistakes with the Wii U that they've so far avoided with the Switch. The big thing for me is branding. The toxic Wii U name and lack of advertisements caused some people to get confused and think that it was just a Wii accessory. Whereas Switch is a much cooler name which helps to explain the big selling point of the console.

Luigi's Mansion 2 and Super Mario 3D Land are both excellent. Kirby Triple Deluxe is probably great as well, but I've not tried that.

The nearby wild animals might get annoyed with me if I ever bought one of these.

Vampires. They used to be cool, but Twilight kinda ruined vampires for a while, but they deserve to be made cool again.

Super Mario Odyssey is the main thing for me here. I got the first Xenoblade Chronicles somewhere, so I'd like to play that before even thinking about getting Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Now that I've calmed down from that Day 1 DLC news, I'll probably keep my preorder and enjoy this. However, I'll be more careful next time I want to get a Level 5 game, and won't preorder their games any more.

Finally, these games are looking interesting.

That's a surprising amount of Day 1 paid DLC for Layton's Mystery Journey, I'm not impressed. That's very unexpected, since previous Layton games on Nintendo consoles never had paid DLC. And there wasn't any hints that it would be getting this DLC before the release.

I'm excited for this one. Should be able to play lots of it this weekend.

Edit: Seeing all that Day 1 Paid DLC for this is killing my hype. The 3DS version is seeming more and more like a ripoff now. The game is being sold at a full retail price, has paid DLC, is vastly more expensive than the mobile version, and they didn't even bother to add 3D to it.

I'm very tempted just to return my preorder and instead buy the mobile version.

I'd be tempted, but I like the 3D too much.

@PanurgeJr Not every company is perfect. If you're no good at spotting when a large company is making a mistake, then that's your problem.

It's not something that I wanted to get, but I can see why some people are hyped about this. Have fun with them guys if you have one.

It sounds like something that could easily get overlooked, but is actually a great game.

I had been interested in this, but the game looks to wacky for my tastes, both in terms of the story and the monster design. That train journey "fast" travel sounds frustrating as well.
