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.

I'll have to have a look at it before it closes just in case there was anything else I was wanting to get but didn't.

It's alright, but not as good as the regular old VC.

Impressive, but that statistic isn't too useful since it's talking about the launch year. I'd be much more curious to see how the first 12 months of the Switch compares to the first 12 months of the other consoles, but it's too early for that one.

I had been quite interested in getting a Yo-Kai Watch game, but having multiple other games that I want to play more has caused Yo-Kai to be a low priority for me.

I'd love to go there

Those videos in the article above don't make it look particularly great or anything. However, it's getting exceptionally brilliant reviews and ratings, so maybe I could do with having a deeper look at this to find out what I'm missing.

@JaxonH At the end of the day it's just a matter of personal preference. Portability is a very minor factor for my needs, so I'll just grab the version of the game with the best graphics. If someone wants to play a game while out and about, then the Switch version might be best for them.

I know that I've said before that it would be great if the Switch had more AAA 3rd party titles, but realistically I'd be unlikely to buy many of them on a Switch when I can play them on PS4 instead. But having that option available would be great for lots of other people, judging by how excited people are getting about a portable Skyrim or Doom or Wolfenstein 2.

It's always the exclusive titles that brings me back to Nintendo. I love my 3DS due to it having Pokemon, Professor Layton, Etrian Odyssey, Animal Crossing, and many other great games. Portability won't sell me on getting a Switch, but I'm bound to love it once the game library is a bit bigger.

So basically, my PS4 will still be a better place for me to enjoy the AAA third party games I like instead of a Switch. At least the Switch will slowly become more desirable for me once more Nintendo exclusives are released.

So so, still not hyped for these. The games are looking rather underwhelming so far.

@BensonUii It's rather pathetic wanting the Switch to be unavailable in a certain region just because someone there pisses you off.

I spent a long time customising my Harbinger in the demo. She's my favourite out of the 5 characters in my team.

I might get Pokemon Silver VC eventually, but it's low down on my priorities list.

I'm excited for this. It's one of several upcoming 3DS games that are must haves for me.

@UltimateZero I would use Pokemon Bank, and transfer every pokemon that I want to keep in to Bank before resetting.

Grabbed one earlier. I'm tempted to restart my copy of Sun each week so that I can get all 6 hats.

I was hoping that these would be proper sequels like B2W2, but lack of new info makes me think they'll just have minor enhancements. GameFreak is doing a poor job at hyping up these games, which makes me think that Ultra S&M won't be anything special.

Seems way too high

I liked it on the Wii U, but not enough to double dip. It got boring after a while, and the special moves seemed overpowered.
