@Kirk I'm curious since this was just the unveiling of these new ips and Nintendo isn't known for letting much information out to early what makes these games only worthy of eshop download only? If you base you sole decision on looks that's really sad
I think this is a smart move by Nintendo. A new ip gives them the chance to attract a new crowd. I don't know why people are saying bring an established franchise like metroid, f zero, etc. People that are buying systems for a particular game and not willing to try something new are worse than people who aren't buying the system at all
