@Deadlyblack True. Limited Run Games is overrated; it's run by hipsters (seriously, look up the clowns that run the company) who seem to care more about making a game limited, "exclusive" and rare so they feel special, instead of serving the needs of customers who actually want the games to play.
I'm very interested in the Blaster and Camera games, perhaps something reminiscent of Yoshi's Safari and Pokemon Snap. Of course, DON'T expect full-fledged games like that for $40 (packed-in with the goggles) and $20. The games will have similar depth to something like the Labo Robot game; very simple but could still be fun.
@OorWullie Precisely. It seems like some people want to compare this to PSVR, Vive and Oculus. Lmao The truth is, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Labo VR doesn't receive any further games after these initial Labo VR sets are released, and that's fine.
To those who are concerned about the resolution and technical limitations of the Switch: Understand that Labo VR will only be compatible with games made specifically FOR Labo VR. The games will be developed WITH the resolution and technical limitations in mind, similar to how original 3DS games (on a regular-sized 3DS screen) still looked great and sharp despite the low-resolution display. Regular Switch games are VERY UNLIKELY to get a VR mode slapped on them, (due to the aforementioned technical limitations) so don't worry about that.
I pre-ordered the collector's edition of Persona Q2 from Atlas.
It's very likely that Nintendo will release a few more 3DS games for the holidays... OR they might just re-release more Nintendo Selects and call it a day. Regardless, I'm sure a few more notable 3rd-party games are coming this year and probably in 2020 as well.
As an addendum to my previous comment, yes, I'm aware that Nintendo has had plenty of problems with their external 1st and 2nd party development studios through the years as well, but they've certainly had more success than Microsoft in that regard.
Collaborations like this are great but I would NEVER want to see Microsoft buy Nintendo out unless they're in really bad financial shape and it's a last resort to save their studios. I just DON'T TRUST Microsoft with game studios, look at what they did to Rareware. And most other Microsoft-owned developers haven't fared much better through the years either, unfortunately. Maybe MS really has turned over a new leaf and they won't DESTROY Obsidian and other studios they've recently purchased, but that remains to be seen...
The Pokemon TCG has ALWAYS been a more simple, accessible alternative to Magic the Gathering. How many people did you know who actually PLAYED the card game back in the day? In it's late 90's and early-2000's hey day, EVERYONE collected the cards but I only knew a few other people who had any interest in playing. The Pokemon TCG is FINE because there will always be a demand for them as long as Pokemon is a popular video game franchise, and they'll always be a collecting hobby FIRST and card game SECOND. And at this point, Pokemon cards are a nostalgic INSTITUTION; people will always look at them fondly and grab some packs off store shelves. I can't think of a video game franchise with more popular merchandise overall; Pokemon is bigger than Mario, Zelda, etc. It's very telling that Pokemon merch is a consistent seller while all the Fortnite crap they're trying to push, for example, is rotting on store shelves.
If done well, a Pokemon movie franchise could be as big as Marvel, Lord of the Rings, or Star Wars. "Detective Pikachu" is an odd choice for the first live-action Pokemon movie, but I'm pulling for it.
Then WHAT has Retro Studios been doing for the past 5 years?!? If it's true they're having problems and not getting their games off the ground, that doesn't bode well for Metroid Prime 4 either. I'll be VERY disappointed if a Retro Studios games isn't announced and released this year.
There's going to be a few more big 3DS games this year and a few more in 2020, and that'll be it. Definitely more waves of Nintendo Selects as well. The 3DS is amazing. Game Boy/Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS.... I won't even try to decide which has the best library, all Nintendo handhelds are LEGENDARY.
Dragon Quest is pretty much a given at this point, but I'm going to laugh if it turns out to be a character from Bravely Default. And I think SLIME is just as possible as Erdrick, especially since the datamining apparently revealed "Brave" to be a short character with sliding movement; he could work like Piranha Plant and take the form of several different slimes for his attacks, transforming into a King Slime for his Final Smash. Or, of course, it's a completely different character from another series.
@Mrtoad Because the Final Fantasy series has both a longer history on Nintendo consoles and put JRPGs on the map. Remember, Cloud is a representative of the Final Fantasy series AS A WHOLE, not just FFVII; he's undoubtedly the most iconic character of the series and probably the entirety of Square-Enix as well.
Nice, the 3DS keeps on rolling. I'm sure there will be at least a few more notable 3DS games throughout the year as well. (and more Nintendo Selects) Maybe a few more in 2020, but that will be all. Respect for the 3DS: amazing system, incredible library.
@sanderev Maybe, maybe not. Apple just doesn't seem to take gaming seriously, and they're not making much progress in pushing their platforms in homes. I think Apple's best days are behind them, honestly.
Her panty shots are most pronounced in Brawl, I think. There's a move where her legs are spread wide open and you can upskirt her, and take snapshots if that's your thing. Lol Yeah, there's tons of borderline-porn games but I can see that the appeal here is seeing something that you don't normally get to see, an OFFICIAL portrayal of a family-friendly character you grew up with (and probably had a crush on at some point) in a very sexualized position. Lol
ALL of the content is already in the starter pack and you get an awesome Fox figure and Arwing model. The deluxe version only gives you more ships, pilots and extra weapons. And WHY the hell would you want to play this game with ANYONE but Fox and his Arwing? As far as I'm concerned, THIS. IS. STAR FOX.

Probably a MULTIPLAYER Zelda.
A new version of Four Swords only for Switch Online subscribers.

Re: Witcher Rumours Intensify Following Discovery Of Job Listing Referencing Nintendo Switch
The Witcher 1 and 2 would be fantastic.
2 is much better than Witcher 3 IMO.
3 is BARELY an RPG at all.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Has Plans To Revive A "Dead And Buried" Game
SHADOW OF THE ETERNALS - The spiritual successor to Eternal Darkness, now retooled as an official sequel.
MEGA MAN LEGENDS 3 - Nintendo is funding the development of the sequel and publishing, similar to Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3.
Either game would be AMAZING.

@Varkster You couldn't be more wrong.
Kingdom Hearts 3 has the best gameplay of them all.

The 3DS is amazing.
Game Boy/Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS....
I won't even try to decide which has the best library, all Nintendo handhelds are LEGENDARY.
