The marketing implies they are putting some effort into it rather then just shovelling out a completely stripped down FIFA game. Even though most sports games don't appeal to me I hope this sells well enough for EA to invest further development in the Switch
@Anti-Matter I was mostly interested in the classic games part and didn't realize that had been announced yesterday as well at the time I made the comment. Oh well.
I am cautiously optimistic. While yearly sport rehashes and generic "My Sims" style games don't appeal to me I would welcome the more polished experiences like Boom Blox, Dead Space Extraction, or Need for Speed: Most Wanted U...
I am tempted actually. My new 3DS that is out of warranty is giving me issues (one of the shoulder buttons stopper working) and since it will cost $90 to get repaired I may just go that route. Provided the SNES virtual console will work on it of course...
@faint I agree that it's rare but I don't find the older rayman games appealing enough to get them at full price so I have no problem playing the waiting game....
Since movie tie-ins are usually quick cash grabs (although there are a few exceptions to that) I will probably wait until after I see a few reviews before I make a decision.
Just did both mine and my fiance's user id's. Kind of makes me wonder if they're doing this to eventually migrate all of the wii U/3DS NNID's to the newer user id setup
The only one I semi use lately on my Wii u is the YouTube app. I know the interface sucks but since I can control it using my phone. Up until a couple months ago i was using the Netflix app but I haven't since my cable box supports it now.
It looks interesting but with the disconnect between the trailers and finished product of some of there recent "triple A" titles I would have been hesitant to buy it anyways.
I have been tempted to get tipping stars for a while so I may take advantage of that. All the rest that would have appealed do me I've picked up already.

Re: Nicalis Confirms Tiny Barbarian DX And Ittle Dew 2+ For Switch
Ittle Dew 2 looks appealing. Also it looks like auto correct changed Ittle to Title in the second last paragraph...

Re: Microïds Confirms Six Games for the Nintendo Switch

the fact they are making improvements before launch makes me tempted to pick this up after launch
Re: FIFA 18 Gets Reveal Trailer That Suggests Missing Features for Nintendo Switch

The fiancé is interested
Re: Trio of Tomorrow Corporation Titles Arrive on North American Switch eShop This Week

It's definitely a good thing that they are going to be getting official UE support closer to the start rather then a couple of years in.
Re: Poll: Does Nintendo Switch Need Streaming Apps and a Web Browser, Or Is It All About Games?
The only one I semi use lately on my Wii u is the YouTube app. I know the interface sucks but since I can control it using my phone. Up until a couple months ago i was using the Netflix app but I haven't since my cable box supports it now.

Re: New My Nintendo Rewards Try to Show The Love for Valentine's Day
I have been tempted to get tipping stars for a while so I may take advantage of that. All the rest that would have appealed do me I've picked up already.

@retro_player_22 agreed.
Re: Kimishima on the Role of the 3DS After the Switch Launch
I recall a similar statement regarding the game boy line when the DS was launched...

I hope NA gets the tg-16 VC options this week too.
