Ehhh. Why add three super shallow games at once? How about Faxanadu? Dragon Warrior? Battle of Olympus? The Guardian Legend? There are so many great games left...
Because of the nature of the Switch, a new model can't really be a different size, and also can't have permanently attached joycons. (Otherwise it wouldn't be compatible with many games, including the Labo, which is sorta aimed towards children.)
I really can't imagine what this is gonna end up being, other than maybe the same console, but with cheaper parts inside.
I wouldn't mind a few little tweaks and bug fixes. I keep running into stuff like giving someone a gift, having it say I already gave them a gift, and then if I talk to them again, they respond to the gift.
And then little things, like being able to rotate while charging up a tool so you're not stuck in the direction you started, or maybe a tooltip showing that you can rotate furniture (I honestly got 40 hours in before finding that out on the internet).
I haven't finished up this game yet though, so new updates are always appreciated no matter what they contain!
These are two great games, but wasn't there an article recently saying Nintendo wanted more people to subscribe to this service? Short changing NA on these releases every month isn't exactly helping that problem.
@Medic_alert I'd also love to be able to hide the special games. At the moment I just have em at the bottom of my list, but with two more this month they're kinda starting to pile up.
I remember playing this game and thinking it was a shame that more people wouldn't experience due to the Wii U not being very popular. It deserves to be on the Switch! And I agree with comments above saying a "complete" or "revised" edition with additional content and some rebalancing would be fantastic. Maybe tweak the Skell combat to be a little more involved. Also they should redo all the faces to the XC2 style.
@FatPigeon There's a free tool called H2testw. It'll basically just fill the card with data, read it back, and let you know the speeds, and how much of it was writeable. Takes a little while, but gives you some peace of mind.
In my experience however, the fake card I had showed problems immediately. I wasn't even able to format it without issues.
Something to keep in mind if you order from Amazon, there's a chance you might get a counterfeit card (even if it's sold/shipped directly from Amazon).
I'm in Canada and had to return a 128GB micro-SD because it was a fake. They sent a replacement no problem however, and that one was fine.
Probably a good idea to test any cards you get from there before using them in your Switch.
From what I've heard people who wanna cheat in Splatoon 2 are doing it already. Why not just give us the cloud save? At least let us backup our single player progress, multiplayer level, and the gear we've purchased.
I want cloud saves so I can take my Switch out of the house without fears, and will need to subscribe in order to continue to play Splatoon 2 online, so it really feels like an extra expense I can't avoid, rather than a service I will get actual enjoyment out of. (Unless they add dedicated Splatoon 2 servers to improve the lag situation.)
I'm pretty far past getting excited about playing NES games on a new console these days.

Re: Get Discounts On Zelda, Metroid And More With My Nintendo Rewards (North America)
Yeah the My Nintendo stuff couldn't be any less interesting. I just toss my coins at a discount on Switch games every so often.
Re: Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl Gold Rated By The Australian Classification Board
Oooh it looks a little bit like Fantasy Life, so maybe it'll be great.
Re: Talking Point: Do We Still Want Achievements On Switch?
As long as I can turn off the notifications, I couldn't care less whether they exist or not.

Re: Shakedown: Hawaii Finally Gets A Launch Date On Switch
Ahh, I already have so many games to play! I'll get this one for sure at some point though.
Re: Random: Reggie's Most Touching Retirement Gift Was A Custom-Made Satoru Iwata amiibo
I can't believe how awesome it must be to have been in a "gang" that consists of you, Iwata, and Miyamoto.
Re: Reminder: Reggie Fils-Aimé Retires As Nintendo Of America President Today
Truly one of Nintendo's greatest characters. Enjoy your time off Reggie!
Re: Konami Releasing Anniversary Collection Series On Nintendo Switch
This is cool, but I wonder if this means we won't see any Castlevania or Contra games on the Switch NES app?
Re: Nintendo's Tom Nook Tax Day Tweet Has Sent Animal Crossing Fans Into Overdrive
Obviously this means Reggie is giving us Mother 3 as a parting gift.
Re: Kid Icarus And StarTropics Join The Switch Online NES Library This Month
These are two great games, but wasn't there an article recently saying Nintendo wanted more people to subscribe to this service? Short changing NA on these releases every month isn't exactly helping that problem.
Re: Dragalia Lost Has Generated More Revenue Than Mario And Animal Crossing On Mobile
Seems like a cool game, I should give it a try. Loads up the Canadian App Store...
Re: 1TB Micro SD Cards Are About To Hit Stores, Perfect For Your Switch Storage Woes
The real question is are you able to get one that isn't a counterfeit.
Re: Sega Wants To Know Which Games You'd Like On The Mega Drive Mini
They should include Shadowrun. One of the best games on the Genesis but I feel very few people played it.
Re: Switch Stretch Goal Announced For SNES Style RPG Chained Echoes
Wow this is super pretty. I'll have to keep an eye on it.
Re: Team Cherry Teases Hollow Knight Hornet DLC Reveal Coming Later This Week
Always happy to play this game some more. Can't wait!
Re: Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey Is One Of The Worst-Selling Mario Games To Date
The original is still great, and this one doesn't even have stereoscopic 3D.
Re: Kirby's Adventure And Super Mario Bros. 2 Join The Switch Online NES Library This Month
I think I might be bored of this already...
Re: Switch Tactical Epic WarGroove Marches Into Battle Next Week
Man I love indie games. They're inexpensive and offer some of the best experiences these days.
Re: SteamWorld Quest Officially Revealed For Switch, A Turn-Based RPG In The SteamWorld Universe
Man, these guys really do whatever they want don't they? Looks absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to see what Image & Form does with that card system.
Re: CrossCode Brings Its SNES-Style Action-RPG Goodness To Switch With Exclusive Content
Nice, I was hoping for this one.
Re: Reminder: Zelda II And Blaster Master Hit Switch Today, Plus Two New Special Edition NES Games
@Medic_alert I'd also love to be able to hide the special games. At the moment I just have em at the bottom of my list, but with two more this month they're kinda starting to pile up.
Re: Blaster Master And Zelda II Arrive On The Switch Online NES Service This Month
These are two fantastic games, but can they really not pick a third? If they need suggestions I can list about 100 worthy NES titles.
Re: Treat Yourself To A Bargain Or Two With The Nintendo New Year's Sale In North America
This convinced me to finally pick up Just Shapes & Beats. So far really enjoying it!
Re: Looking For A Brand New Wii U? That'll Be $800 Please
I just wish I could get a second white gamepad for a reasonable cost. Eventually that thing is gonna die or wear out and then my Wii U will be no good
Re: Random: This 1991 Nintendo Calendar Is Pretty Bizarre, And It Can Be Used Again In 2019
I still have this calendar somewhere! I should dig it out and hang it up for the year!
Re: SteamWorld Dev Image & Form Says 2019 Will Be "Huge", News Coming "Sooner Than You Think"
Another Heist game would be awesome, but at this point I'll just enjoy anything they make.
Re: Suda51 Would "Love" To Bring Killer7 To Switch, But It's All Up To Capcom
This is one of the games that made me really like Suda51. Such an awesome original creation. (Also has an amazing OST.)
I'd probably pick it up for Switch if it happened.
Re: Review: Dragalia Lost - A Deep And Rewarding Smartphone RPG That Might Just Surprise You
I'd love to try it, but I'm in Canada.
Re: Famitsu Teasing "Possible Revival" For A Cancelled Level-5 Game
Please be Fantasy Life 2 for Switch!
Re: Monolith Soft Director Would "Love" Xenoblade Chronicles X On Switch, Money Stands In The Way
I remember playing this game and thinking it was a shame that more people wouldn't experience due to the Wii U not being very popular. It deserves to be on the Switch! And I agree with comments above saying a "complete" or "revised" edition with additional content and some rebalancing would be fantastic. Maybe tweak the Skell combat to be a little more involved.

Re: Soapbox: Nintendo's Excuses Regarding Cloud Saves Aren't Good Enough
From what I've heard people who wanna cheat in Splatoon 2 are doing it already. Why not just give us the cloud save? At least let us backup our single player progress, multiplayer level, and the gear we've purchased.
Re: Your Nintendo Switch Cloud Save Files Will Be Lost If Your Online Subscription Expires
I'm pretty sure I let my PS+ account expire for almost a year. Subscribed again and all my saves were still there.
Oh well, give Nintendo some time, they're still new to this whole games thing.
Re: Hands On: Getting Fancy With Shovel Knight: King of Cards And Showdown
I'm excited for this, but even more excited to see what Yacht Club will create now that they're able to move on from Shovel Knight.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X's Elma Revealed For Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Available Today
If they port XCX to Switch I hope they update all the faces to use this style. It looks so much nicer!
Re: Nintendo Shares Image Of Super Mario Bros. 3 In Action On Switch
Oh goody, seems the colours are still too dark, like on the Wii U. Please Nintendo, can you not fix this?
Re: Zelda-Inspired Adventure Game Minit Arrives On US Switch eShop Next Month
Yay I’ve been waiting for this one!
Re: Hollow Knight: Gods & Glory Arrives On Switch August 23rd
These guys are too good! Can't wait to play the new content.
Re: Adventure Platformer Heroki Is Flying Onto The Switch eShop Next Month
This is one of the few iOS games I've actually enjoyed and finished. Hope it does well on the Switch.
Re: Reggie Knows You Want Nintendo To Localise Mother 3 And Make Another Animal Crossing
Switch seems like the perfect time to make Mother 3 happen. Also I wouldn't mind having a few other GBA games on that giant portable screen.
Re: Surprise, Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion DLC Is Out Tomorrow!
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT???
Re: 8BitDo Reveals Huge Range Of Bluetooth Controllers, All Compatible With Nintendo Switch
These are all very cool, but one little detail could be improved. The left analog on that purple Gamecube style controller should be white/grey.
Re: Explore The Hand-Drawn World Of Hollow Knight Right Now On Switch
And it’s so cheap! Such a fantastic game and they’re practically giving it away.
Re: E3 2018: What Do You Want To See From Nintendo At E3?
A new Pushmo for Switch, released today in one of those surprise reveals.
Re: Feature: Hollow Knight On Switch "At The Finish Line" Says Developer Team Cherry
This game is a masterpiece! Can’t wait to play it again on a handheld.
Re: Reaction: What are Your Thoughts on Nintendo Switch Online?
It's not bad.
I want cloud saves so I can take my Switch out of the house without fears, and will need to subscribe in order to continue to play Splatoon 2 online, so it really feels like an extra expense I can't avoid, rather than a service I will get actual enjoyment out of.

Re: Video: Get Your Hands Dirty With Six Minutes Of Switch-Exclusive Garage Gameplay
Looks pretty awesome actually. Might have to check this out eventually.
