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.

Nintendo are the experts on condensing their games down to a small size.

I may as well grab some themes. My points would just expire otherwise.

It was a good Direct. It wasn't brilliant, but it wasn't bad either. More Pokemon news was nice, but was underwhelming. I downloaded that Etrian Odyssey V demo and played lots of it yesterday (haven't got far in it yet since I spent way too long customising the characters).

As for Switch, it was fantastic to see some big 3rd party games heading to it. I'd still prefer to play Wolfenstein 2 and Doom on PS4 since they're bound to have better graphics there, but the Switch option is good for those that like portability.

The Super Mario Odyssey trailer has got me more excited for that game than ever before. It's now a must have for me once I get a Switch.

This game is going to keep me occupied for a long time.

Etrian Odyssey V demo. I'll likely buy the full game once it's released.

@rjejr Oh yes, that lol. A Pikmin 4 trailer would have been sweet. I wonder when we'll hear more about it.

I liked the Direct. Sure there weren't that many new games, but it was great to get lots of juicy details on the upcoming games.

I liked the new info, but Ultra S&M still feels underwhelming. A brand new Pokemon per game is good and all, but I'd much prefer a variety of new Alolan forms.

This game is looking much better than ever. I've been underestimating it until now. The bundle could be tempting to me depending on price (though I'll likely still wait until at least next year before getting a Switch).

It's looking great. I have the first Xenoblade somewhere, so I'd like to play that before considering getting this.

@rjejr Are you sure you got the right person? I don't remember mentioning Pikmin on here or on twitter recently

A few new games for the Switch would be fantastic. And by that, I mean actual new games. Ports of games that I've already played aren't going to excite me.

And more Pokemon Ultra S&M info please. And it's a long shot, but Monster Hunter XX localisation would be brilliant.

@JaxonH Pokemon and MH fan here. I tried the demo of MH Stories, and I can't say that I loved it. Some of the characters were annoying, and the combat system never clicked with me.

Each to their own I guess. I'll just stick to Generations and World (and maybe XX if that ever gets localised).

The Switch has the advantage of being a newly released console, but it's still great to see it doing well.

It's looking fine judging by the clips I've seen of it. I'll keep it on my radar.

Yay. The 11pm time slot is good for me, since I'll be at home and not stuck at work then. Hopefully there'll be more Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon news, along with some Switch news that'll get me more excited for it.

The Switch is doing a lot better than expected, so supply issues are hardly surprising. However, Nintendo really needs to get on top of this problem and resolve these issues.

Achievements would be great, though I doubt Nintendo will do this. I'm guessing that developer was second guessing Nintendo, which is never wise given how unpredictable Nintendo are.

I don't know why some people get so mad at the possibility of achievements. As long as they can be hidden, it makes no sense for people to object to having the option available.

@Anti-Matter Unless you're trained at diagnosing these sorts of things, it's rather insensitive, inappropriate and insulting to suggest that someone is autistic.

I wouldn't say Monster Hunter Stories is a good primer to the series. After playing the demo, it felt like something very different to any traditional Monster Hunter game. I'd treat Stories as something that very different to the other games.

The Switch was clearly a smart move by Nintendo, as the sales show. It's good to see that it's doing well.

However, it's still not that appealing to me personally. I rarely play games outside of the house, so portability doesn't do anything to me. Plus, quite a lot of the biggest hits on the system are similar to games that I've already played lots of on my Wii U. Then there's the cost of it, as it's more expensive than other consoles, the 32GB internal memory will quickly run out and Micro SD cards are expensive, it'll cost more to play using a more traditional pro controller, and third party games are generally more expensive and less pretty than on other systems.

So the console itself isn't something I'm keen on, but it's the games that matter. Once the Switch has Super Mario Odyssey and a Pokemon RPG, then I'll likely be a lot more positive.

@SanderEvers I'd rarely ever use it outside of the home, so no I wouldn't want to pay a Switch tax for portability.

Nintendo are the ones who went with game cards for a home console, so I'm blaming them for this situation. I'll usually prefer the cheaper and better graphics option instead of the more expensive portable option.

I'll happily take the better visuals over portability and extra $10 cost.

This Switch tax is a problem, but I can't see any real way for Nintendo to fix it now.

Convenient timing for me. I've recently finished my Sun playthrough, so I may as well deposit legendaries and useful pokemon in Bank, then restart the game to grab all the hats.

Nothing for me this week. I tried the Monster Hunter Stories demo, but didn't enjoy the gameplay or the characters that much.

I'm not keen on this approach. They may think they know what I want better than myself, but I suspect they'll be wrong.

@R4z0rGr1nd3r You could at least @ me if you're going to say my arguments are dumb. Anyway, the Wii does show that Nintendo can do fine without the AAA games, but that doesn't mean that the Switch is better off without having them.

@Anti-Matter Okay. I wasn't suggesting that everyone should like AAA 3rd parties or that they're all good games. However, a lot of people do like them, so it can only be a bad thing that the Switch only has minimal 3rd party AAA support.

@Anti-Matter Judging by all the talk about Skyrim and FIFA, it would seem like a lot of people care care about the AAA 3rd parties.

Fair enough. I was skeptical at first, and I'm still skeptical to some extent.

I already played a lot of the Wii U game, so a Switch port wouldn't excite me. Releasing this on the Switch would be a smart move.
