I would really like to see a Red Steel 3 or Zombi2 release for Switch. Both series had so much potential that just fell a little short. Dual handed shooter a la Red Steel seems like a perfect fit for those joy cons. I know that I am in the minority on this but I'm picturing aiming a la Resident Evil Chronicles with a full the range of analog control movement of mpdern shooters.
So first the bad, where are all the launch games? Nintendo supposedly has learned from their mistakes to not launch a console with a paper thin lineup. We all know Zelda is going to rock but what else is there? That price is high, $400 Canadian without a game is off-putting. Nintendo has to be making mint off of each console. Where the heck is Metroid, Fzero, Punchout, Excitebike/truck and the other dorment franchises that we as fans clamour for.
So now the good, hardware looks quite nice, cool tech, future games look great, Mario, Xeno 2, Skyrim.
I feel quite mixed about this, unless Nintendo is hiding a ton of unannounced, early release games I feel they will not do as well as they could have. I will pick up a Switch but not until at least holidy 2017.
Would really love it if Switch could this kind of momentum. Even if Pokemon Start came.next fall it could lead to massive sales of.Switch. Pokemon is coming to Switch without question, the only question is when it does.
EA is too lazy toake a game from the ground up, all games will likely be released Released games that are already cheaper on other systems and then cry about lack of sales, I mean it worked for them for Wii U.
Is anyone surprised by the lack of sales for wither Paper Mario Or Metroid federation force? If you do the exact opposite of what fans are asking you to do, don't expect the game to do gangbusters.
So the Metroid game that noone asked for or wanted, plus it received tons of hate, didn't sell well. So does that mean that Nintendo can pull it's combined head out of its butt and perhaps actually listen to what the fans want out of them? Federation Force could have been cool as an online shooter for Wii U, sort of a Halo vibe you know.
I'm getting an NX regardless so I'm not the market they need to target. This time though I think Nintendo needs to get their collective heads out of their butts. If NX launches with anywhere near the same capabilities/power of the Wii U, the NX will flop. The NX doesn't need to do 4k gaming but it has to do no less than the PS4 at a bare minimum. They need to stop trying to reinvent the wheel, wheels are still run on cars, no one has flying cars yet. If they have somehow thought of some gimmicks that actually grabs people's attention and becomes an industry standard innovation then great. I just don't hold much hope for something like that, I love my Wii U but after 4 years they still haven't proven to the mainstream why they NEED it. That is marketing 101, find the consumers need and fill it.

Re: NES Classic Mini Demand "Greater Than We Anticipated," Admits Reggie Fils-Aime
