3DS had a ton of hype that only died down after there was nothing to play at launch and for several months later.
2 million might mean nothing depending on the release date.
Early March-> not good. Late March->good

Sony already made sure that there won't be a Street Fighter game on the Switch, & I'm 50/50 on if RE7 is gonna come to the Switch.
That said, if we're gonna get a Mega Man game, it's gonna be whatever game they're making to launch alongside the cartoon.
My Capcom dream would be CC2 resurrecting Legends 3 for Switch. Also an Okami HD port with touchscreen inking.
What about Tenchu DS?
Was 3DS hyped? I remember everyone saying it was going to be slaughtered by the Vita (similar to DS pre-release predictions) even though we all know that didn't happen.

Nah, the e3 was huge. It was post release when we saw Vita's price and the 3DS's lack of games and specs for the price that the system died down.
That's nonsense. We all know MH and AA will release on Switch. What we want to know is about the games that aren't that easily predictable.

On a scale of F-Zero to Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games,
What are the chances of a Fire Emblem announcement that isn't moblie? Actually will they talk about moblie? Animal crossing is a pretty deal.

Yeah but those machines had lots of third parties and were great powerful machines (compared to consoles). Switch might be ports and the odd new Nintendo game.
LMAO! That is a nice and pretty darn convenient way to sell the Switch version of RE7. Yes I would looove to have Overwatch on Switch.
But then I think about Splatoon and since this two games are kinda similar on the multiplayer aspect... maybe Nintendo don't want that kind of competition on their own console
((Oh man it'll be so damn nice :') Fingers crossed.
"Nippon Ichi Software will deliver various content from Gifu Prefecture to the world. In 2017 as well, we will actively launch new IP in the consumer game market. But it doesn’t end there. We will steadily take on new initiatives. We also have Nintendo Switch project(s), so please look forward to that. (There has been some skepticism about our company’s participation, but…. we’re in proper development!)"
Do you guys think they'll announce Pokémon Stars at the January event or are you of the belief that it'll be held off until whenever The Pokémon Company feels like showing it off (be it April or at E3)?
As for me, while announcing it in January would be a cool way to coincide with the launch of the Pokémon Bank for Sun/Moon, I could see them waiting a few months so they don't piss off those who got Sun/Moon for Christmas.

I honestly doubt it.
Pokémon company tend to announce their own stuff. They needed their own 5 minute direct for concept art and logos.
Would be a nice surprise.
That's the other reason why I'm thinking that they'll hold off on revealing Stars. The Pokémon Company more-or-less goes to the beat of their own drum. They'd probably want the reveal of Stars to not share the spotlight with any other Nintendo reveals, especially when (as you mentioned) TPC did a 5-minute Direct just to reveal Sun/Moon without any actual gameplay.

This is a tough one! A January announce could certainly feel like a jab at current players, but I think Nintendo needs to be as upfront as possible about Switch's year-one lineup. Get it all out in the open as of January and save the rest of their energy to talk 2018 and beyond later in the year.
I expect the event to focus mostly on games coming between launch and August and the device itself.
I doubt we will see Pokémon at the event. TPC does always their on things when it comes to marketing and I doubt that Stars will be close to launch. So I expect them to announce Stars on a later event.
AA and MH on Switch are hardly on level with a new Darkstalkers. Both are more likely to release than some Capcom games that actually have been announced (Deep Down).
Yeah, Ace Attorney & Monster Hunter on the Switch are more of a when than an if. And while something like a new Darkstalkers is pretty unlikely right now, people thought another MvC game in the near future was impossible, too. You can never really read Capcom, much like how you can never really read Sakurai.
Yes DGS2 screams Switch. Really the entire series is ripe for porting now thanks to 3DS and iOS too. Get ready to buy the Phoenix Trilogy a 6th time.
I've seen this opinion a lot and I'm just not convinced- this isn't a Nintendo Direct or even an E3- this is a huge, multi day event and the first true showcase for the system. I think (hope) you are going to see a very clear roadmap for the first 1-2 years of the system- people buy systems based on hype.
Good point, we should have gotten a platform announcement for The Great Ace Attorney 2 by now.

Is there something that would prevent Nintendo from just patching the new Stars-exclusive Pokemon in to Sun/Moon? Didn't they patch those new legendary Pokemon in to X/Y and AS/OR?
For trading, is there not some way with friends codes or whatever it is Nintendo has now, to have the Switch send "X Pokemon" to a server, and then the 3DS connect to that server and receive it?
I can see battles causing a problem but at the same time that would happen even without new Pokemon since it's across different hardware. Trading, I'd imagine, would be more simplistic and easier to accomplish.
But I don't see any reason why trading wouldn't work, though again I have no idea how the back end for that kind of thing works.
Yeah if Nintendo only show the first few months worth of stuff they are going to be raked over the coals for not having games.
People seem to love vaporware
They didn't even bothered to patch XY with the new Mega-Evolution introduced in ORAS.
Oh, I would double dip so hard for Overwatch on Switch... Just thinking about it brings a smile to my face

If its just an upgraded SUN/MOON i don't see why Pokemon wouldn't be hyped at the Switch event
Because it may anger those who bought Sun/Moon during the holidays & that The Pokémon Company typically does reveals on their own terms. While it's possible that Stars could be at the January event, TPC could very well wait until Spring to do the reveal.

Not now, but Bioware doesn't say never:

Yes me too, first person RE7 makes it not so high up
They could just do a teaser without showing footage.

So it's more of a "doubt they'll bother to do it since they didn't before" than a "it's not technically possible to do?"
I guess to be fair to GameFreak, XY and ORAS were different generations of Pokemon, whereas Sun/Moon/Stars would all be in the same gen, so I'm still holding out hope! I won't be crushed or anything but I don't see any reason for them not to at this point.
I played the Beginning Hour demo on PC and I have to admit it was pretty cool. I really want to try it.

RE7 not making it to switch would honestly surprise me. It's like the switch not getting call of duty next year.
I still don't think RE7 on the Switch is as given as people make it out to be.
Why? Resident Evil 7 is a weird ass game and somewhat of a gamble for Capcom. I bet they'd rather see how it performs on the other platforms before they consider Switch.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
The sudden yet low number of switch threads today have awakened my hype
Like when RE4 was almost a Gamecube exclusive?
