I think we will definitely hear more about what Nintendo's 2018 plans will look like in March, sort of like a 1 year anniversary Direct. That's where we will get the online/vc details (I'm betting that's why they're pulling the plug on adding Wii currency in March). It's also where we will get a taste of the big hitters coming this year.
Wow!!! This is so cool! This definitely falls in line with Nintendo's president saying they wanted to reach new customers and find inventive uses for the joy con. This has such awesome potential for use in classrooms, particularly tech and robotic classes. And using cardboard should keep packs low in cost, and hopefully easy to replace. Wow! This is Nintendo through and through. Way to go!!!
Hmmm...the "interactive experience" wording makes me think it will be something similar to the "Nintendo 3DS Guide: Louvre Museum" or the WiiU Street thing.
Oh gosh, not this again...I am very happy with what was shown already at the direct mini. I am not gonna go through that fervent waiting again or I'll go bald!
I thought it was a great, game packed mini direct! Literally every game on there looked like great and showcased a wide variety of genres. Fighting, sports, platformer, jrpg, action, adventure, and some really outstanding 3rd party support. It also seemed like Nintendo heard what people wanted in a new Mario Tennis game (story mode). As a WiiU owner, 2 of the games already sit on my shelf, but I'm glad a new audience will get to try them out. As for the rest of the games, they all look like day 1 purchases for me. So excited!!!
Yesssss!!!! It looks wonderful! I love the art style, it's a nice mix of the classic look with an updated style. Wow! Annnnnnd we're getting Mega Man Collection 1 and 2, annnnnd all the Mega Man X titles!!! 2018 is looking great. Thanks Capcom! Keep the games coming!
My copy will be here today! I can't wait! I loved the first Revelations on 3DS, and have been waiting for part 2 forever. 40 bucks for both games is a steal!
Oh man...what a bummer...I was really looking forward to this one. Would a patch be able to fix enough of the issues to warrant a purchase? Maybe they were trying to make it out by November and had to cut corners?
I'm still really looking forward to playing this game. It makes sense that a publisher would want to cut costs where possible. I remember reading somewhere that the carts get far more expensive as they get larger. I dunno, the extra download doesn't seem like a big deal. I'd much rather have 3rd party support than not, so I'll take what I can get!
I bought Flame in the Flood and have been really excited to give it a go. Also, I'm still in the midst of the captivating Steamworld Dig 2 so I'm sure I'll play that too!
Some great 1st party titles! I really enjoyed Nintendo's E3 lineup... But where are all the 3rd party titles that were listed in the initial Switch reveal? Like Shin Megami, Project Octopath..and all the games from the other companies that were mentioned as working on Switch projects?

Oh man...what a bummer...I was really looking forward to this one. Would a patch be able to fix enough of the issues to warrant a purchase? Maybe they were trying to make it out by November and had to cut corners?
