I mean, this is a couple hundred hours worth of content between BotW and D5.

Just Zelda for me I guess. At least I save some money

Zelda and Puyo Puyo Tetris for me. I'm surprised that I'm getting more than one launch game, as I never do that.

Is that supposed to make it all better, or something?

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Yeah....I don't think Im buying this at launch anymore

Anyone noticed that the MK8 Deluxe trailer was reuploaded without the April date? Kind of expecting this to March at the very least.
I second the sentiment that Nintendo tries to get as many money as possible from early adoptors, but especially Mario Kart 8 should be able to release any second that Nintendo wants to. Hopefully they think that some damage control would keep the hype.

listen to the mad man
the n64 had two games and the 3ds' breakout title was a low budget strategy game made by hungarians like come on
Seems standard for a Nintendo console launch. One big hitter and not much else, the question is how quickly the other Nintendo games start coming. They can't afford another Wii U situation where we are waiting a year for new games.
I'm not talking killer apps -- I'm just talking legit, full-price, full-value games that haven't been previously released. This is terrible.
Yeah but all 3 are games that can be played on systems that have been available for years.

Decent lineup, all things considered. Especially compared to most other recent launches.
Disgaea 5 had a massive discount on PSN just last month... are you really prepared to pay 60 dollars just to say you own a Switch game?

Pray for Nintendo Direct/E3 to hype up Fall 2017 and Beyond.
I can't figure out if Ubisoft if trolling, or if Nintendo made them do it as penance for messing up the WiiU release.
Either way, it's a good game which hasn't come close to it's sales potential, and Nintendo doesn't have a 2D Mario at launch so it's actually a genre gap filler this time.
I'm kind of in disbelief. How on Earth did you get 5+ launch titles for XBO/PS4 without getting something you could get elsewhere?
We had no real info on the UI and other features, so I'm going to say there will be a Direct with VC features and downloadable games at launch, so hopefully there will be some more indie stuff to choose from on Day 1 away from retail.

Rayman Legends should've been a launch title on the Wii U's god's sake.
At least Bomberman is back.
At least Bomberman is back.
"I'm only getting 3 games on launch" is such a weird sentiment to me. The only game I had to play extensively on the Wii U is Mario U, so the Switch is already way ahead for me in this regard between Puyo, Bomberman and friggin' Zelda.
If the launch window is bad outside of that though, that would be an absolute cause of alarm for me.

Rayman Legends lol
That Street Fighter II port aint even day 1?

No, my point was that the other poster was saying this is the worst system launch ever. It's not. In fact, it's pretty normal. That's all I was saying.

Regardless of Zelda being a WiiU game, DS and WiiU were probably worse than this.
Also it's March. I guess I get why they likely pushed back Mario Kart and that Arms game. Nintendo likely wants to have a game per month for the rest of the year.
Still terrible.

Of course there will be more. Nintendo loves to sit on stuff and wait till the last moment to reveal.

Better launch line up than Wii U isn't really saying much.

This thing has barely any software wtf , this is DOA. No third party presence, they barely showed anything, except the usual Mario/zelda. Zelda looks amazing but the rest is a disaster.
It will be portable. That alone changes many things.

Wow, really? I tend to consider most launch lineups to be absolute trash. This isn't that great, but it might be the first time there's more than 1 or 2 games I'm interested in. 1-2 Switch, Bomberman, and Zelda are probably my day 1s. Maybe even Disgaea.
