What I want to know is, are they going to make a special "Switch: Labo Edition"? Where the entire box and inner packaging can be transformed into a Toy-Con so nothing goes to waste?
No Switch Animal Crossing news (or even at least more about that mobile thing), no Switch Virtual Console details, and no [insert any other franchise/service/accessory here] announcements . . . and yet, it was still an excellent showing for Nintendo this year.
Granted, with the Switch in my grubby hands, it's the first time I've had the newest hardware right before an E3 week since the Wii, so I may be a little too excited and biased at the moment to be objective, but I don't care . . . .
I'm pumped for Mario Odyssey and Metroid Prime 4, the "esports" style showcases of Pokken/ARMS/Splatoon2 were intense (at least to me, I've never really watched esports before), and even some of the 3DS stuff looked cool (and I don't even have a 3DS, still rocking the DS Lite, lol).
It does really feel like the Switch was launched about a year too early, but Nintendo is certainly making the most of what the have to work with this year (kind of like what they do with their hardware). With the seeds they've planted this year (Core Pokemon RPG? That better mean what I think it means), here's hoping they just knock it out of the park next year.
When I first saw this announced it just looked like "Wii Boxing with Stretchy Arms" . . . then my kids and I jumped in on a couple sessions in the TestPunch and discovered it wasn't just a rehashed waggle-fest (mind you, I really liked--and still have--the Wii, but losing to waggle got old). Longish story short: My Amazon Prime 20% discount preorder is being delivered TODAY.
I could see that happening easily enough. I eventually got all 3 major consoles from the last gen and enjoyed them all, but favored PS3 the most. Though, Wii was a close 2nd and I just, um . . . lost interest in anything Xbox.
However, BECAUSE of favoring the PS3 I have an embarrassingly large backlog for it. So with no true PS3 backwards-compatibility on the PS4 yet (if ever), I'm in no rush to upgrade, but am not opposed to it either.
All that being said, I'm too happy with the Switch right now to care very much.
