I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Sorry - I should have been more clear. I worded that terribly.
If you own a WiiU, the Switch launch is shit.
As an aside, the N64 and Gamecube had a better first year.
Yeah, I agree... the wiiU launch sucked.

Looks good. I wonder if there'll be a pokken switch edition also.
Guys, i was thinking, LKD only talked about Western games and Nintendo games right? So there still are japanese games to leak.I think the only Japanese game rumor was DS3 that is a megaton by itself. Even more strange is the fact is that we heard nothing about the DQ XI or Namco games (I knpow DS3 is technicalyy Namco, but i mean internally developed games).
You are repeating your opinion, not turning it into a compelling argument.
Why does it suck?
Get people to create a Nintendo account.
Get people to play online and show other publishers there's an online crowd (Nintendo is traditionally the offline platform in many peoples' eyes).
Get people to play Splatoon (it's a new IP and as successful as it was on Wii U, it still has to prove itself).
Give people a game with constant events and updates they can always play.
I doubt thats all thats coming from Ubisoft, Rayman is prob just a digital game, BG&E 2 is a year away and the source says Rabbits x Mario might come out in Sept.
For launch Ubisoft might have For Honor and Ghost Recon wild lands
We heard one game got canned due to it bombing on PS4/One which is prob Steep.
Ubisoft may also have Watch_Dogs 2
Just cuz something has not leaked, does not mean its not coming.
Nobody is talking about what they are going to release on Switch in general. Everything we know are all rumors of the ones being showcased in seconds during the Switch reveal trailer.

You gonna end up doing that anyways.. I really dont believe theres a bundle and Im gonna stick with that
This is including only games that we know about one way or another. There will definitely be more.

3D Mario still doesn't need to be a launch title.
Just remember the subpar launch the Wii U had with NSMBU and it sold out quickly.
BotW will sell the 2 million on its own. 3D Mario can be saved for another month or two.

Oh please, let this happen based Namco.
Was Super Mario Maker a good game on Wii U? I never got around to it but I would probably like to have a 2D Mario platformer for Switch.

No. Nintendo do had a very heavy hand in the design of the chip, without a doubt. From what we know, what's in the switch will likely be 'weaker' in a sense than any new shield Nvidia makes anyway. The most important aspect of the Nvidia partnership is all the tools and API that come bundled with it. Video games are 10% ideas and 90% execution. What Nintendo bought into, and according to early rumors at a very good price) was that software library and support. Every step that helps make games easier to develop, makes them cheaper and more feasible to appear on switch.
Why would someone who owned a Wii U be hyped for Wii U ports and subpar third party games?
Japan.
Also having Splatoon with maximum install base and use it as a "game as a service" down the line.

Are we sure we are getting this price? That would be awesome. I mean 250 for Zelda and console.

To be fair, we should wait until the 12th to be the judge of that, i would hope we haven't heard everything yet.
It's Laura's UK price converted in dollars/euros. I think it makes the most sense. But we're not sure yet.
Edit : ah no I meant 250$ for the console alone.

If these predictions are accurate, in the first six months I'll own...
-Zelda Breath of the Wild
-Mario
-Skyrim
-Tekken 7
-Splatoon Switch
-Mario Kart Switch
-Rayman Legends
-Lego City Undercover
-Xenoblade Chronicles X
-Mother 3
-buncha GCN VC games
-buncha indie Games
That's a damn fine launch window. Really excited to see some stuff that we don't know about.

No it's 250 for the console alone.
Lol exactly, freaking out over leaked games as if its official launch lineup really makes no sense at all, just wait for the 12th geez people.

I have a WiiU. So far, every rumored Switch title that is either 1) not 3+ years old, or 2) not likely to be an obvious AA, small-budget title, is a game I already own or a sports title. The one exception is Mario, of course.
Zelda is HUGE. It's the single reason I'll buy a Switch - I'll be there Day One. But we were promised this on the WiiU ages ago. And now it might be coming to that system later.
If you own a WiiU, there's not a lot to get hyped about outside Zelda (which you'll get anyway) and a new Mario. God forbid you also own a PS4 - then there's practically nothing new.
Nobody gives a shit about Rabbids.
EDIT: That said, these are all rumors. I'm more than open to being surprised! I hope there's more we don't know about - and that would make my whole issue invalid.
I can follow your logic. Hopefully they got a few surprises for launch.
This. Splatoon needs to come bundled, so it can be developed into a game as service kind of deal and they could grow a huge community.
I see your point and I think you're right. It doesn't NEED to be bundled. I just think Nintendo wants to jump-start the online community and no better game to do that than the next Splatoon game. Mario Kart will just be a port with Battle Mode. That's not enough. Splatoon however could do wonders for the entire platform.
What does this even mean? A fan of games in general is very likely a fan of Mario & Zelda games. This has nothing to do with being a Nintendo fan. Being a fan of games in general doesn't in any way exclude Nintendo games.
It is tricky to call. LKD said it would be priced at 199 pounds for the basic Switch SKU, which always used to translate to a $250 price tag, but maybe the price will be lower for US (and EU) due to the pound's weak position. In that case, maybe $200 or $220 would be possible. Adding Zelda for $60 (assuming they do that pricing for games) brings you close ($260 and $280). We don't know this, and we also don't know the pricing for games.
Some people (like me) find the portability aspect attractive enough to overlook the (significantly) lower graphical fidelity (frame rate should of course be reasonably good).

I have 400 budgeted for the switch. With that I'm hoping to get whatever the 'deluxe' switch bundle ends up being, and at least 2 games, hopefully Mario +Zelda/Splatoon if its not a pack in.
All I said was that I am not getting hyped by those two titles. Somebody said it was basically "weird" that one wouldn't be hyped for these, which I disagree with. Nothing weird about it.

That's 50 bucks too much for me, unless it has the pro controller in it.

I don't want to take away from your excitement - honest! Glad you're pumped. But for me, I've put my comments above. As a WiiU owner and a gamer in general (I would assume at least a significant portion of those in this thread), I don't think my situation is that unique.
This is insanity
Which one of those is a subpar thirdparty game:
Skyrim, NBA 2K, Fifa, Just Dance, Lego Works, indies, Yooka-Laylee, Lego City Undercover, Tekken 7, indies, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, Guardians of the Galaxy, Rayman Legends, Ever Oasis,Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Project Sonic
Which one of those is a Wii U port:
Mario 3d,Skyrim, NBA 2K, Fifa, Just Dance, Lego Works, indies,Mario Sports Superstar, Yooka-Laylee, Tekken 7, indies, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, Guardians of the Galaxy, Pikmin 4, Ever Oasis, Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Project Sonic, Pokemon Stars
Tekken 7 isn't even out on consoles, yet.
I am excited for the switch and hopeful Nintendo gets this one right. Was disappointed in the Wii despite buying it day 1 and buying a lot of games (both ports and originals). I regret some days selling it since I had A LOT of VC titles that I can never get again. Felt like wasted money. Wish Nintendo had a system like PS or MS do with digital games tied to profile or account. Do we know if they will or have we heard anything yet? I think that is my biggest hangup this go around. This console will get me to buy digital titles only because it is a mobile home console. I prefer physical discs for traditional home consoles. I may wait on getting one if they do not do this and hope for a great Black Friday / holiday deal. I skipped the Wii U completely and have no regrets with all of these ports for the Switch.

Do we know if WiiU Pro Controllers will be supported
I dont see why not since its rumored to support Wii Remotes and has bluetooth

Nothing weird about not liking certain games, what is weird is saying that you are "a fan of games in general" and then use that as a reason why you don't like certain games. It's indeed a very weird argument.

Lmao wth people are back on crapping on the "Switch lineup" based off rumors and acting like those are all the games.
He was explicitly referring to the next installment in the Pikmin serie, so not a weird 3ds spin-off.
It's $300 for the Deluxe Bundle. So if you don't really care about Splatoon or extra internal storage, you can save $50.
You own Tekken 7?
You actually own a Japanese Arcade Machine?
Damn, bruh. Can I come over to play it? I'll bring beer.
For Japanese 3rd party leaks we have:
Multiple Namco Bandai games in development (Dr. Serkan Toto)
The Silver Case HD in 1st six months (LKD)
Dark Souls III port up and running, possibly a Trilogy release later on (LKD)
Bloodstained moving from Wii U to Switch (Shocking Alberto)
For official announcements or comments we have:
Dragon Quest X & XI (Square Enix)
Nobunaga's Albition series (Koei Tecmo)
Project Sonic 2017 (Sega)
Full lineup (Nippon Ichi)
Not interested in mutiplats (Capcom)
