Honestly if that list is true it's the best console launch since Gamecube.

That's why, for example, GTAV is never among the Steam top sellers anymore.
Rumors, rumors. We'll see very soon though!

I would respectfully disagree. It would kill third parties chances at launch. Also both 3d Mario and Zelda are predominately single player games. Switch trailer was heavy on multiplayer. Better launching Zelda or Mario at launch with Mario kart or Splatoon.
IMO Something more like this for NA launch:
March:
Zelda
Splatoon
Borderlands
Fifa
Lego Worlds
South park
Darganronpa
Resident evil
COD
Rocket League
World of Final fantasy
Tekken 7
For Honor (I know Switch probably can't run it)
Just Dance
Nba 2k17
Undertale
April:
Skyrim
Lego city undercover
Mario kart
Guardian of galaxy
Sonic mania
Seran kengura
May:
Overwatch
Dark souls
Minecraft
Yooka Laylee
Tales of berseria
June:
Mario
Dragon Quest 11
GTA V port
You think these games would sell systems? lol
I want to live in this world. That's quite a wishlist.
Switch reveal was heavy on multiplayer therefore Mario and Zelda is a bad idea? Huh? You do notice these games were part of the trailer, right?

Of course. I'm just saying, if Nintendo is courting the multiplayer or esports crowds, launching with Zelda and Mario as your one two punch, will not get it done. Nor will it endear you to third parties.

Nothing on the other than Overwatch, gta, and for honor is really that far fetched.
I personally believe Switch will get at least Overwatch. But not at launch.

Nintendo won't exclusively focus on eSports crowds. That would be suicide.
WhiteWaterM00se

No they won't. But they should court local and online multiplayer, and esports. Which is what their announcement trailer conveyed. I think they should launch with one single player title like Mario or Zelda and one flagship Nintendo multiplayer title like mk or Splatoon.
Their trailer contained three single player titles and it conveyed a clear eSports message.
Amount of games isn't that important, its how you communicate.
I agree with you about Overwatch. Assuming the launch and first few months are healthy.

It's so boring when we don't have leaks every 5 minutes lol
I would like to preorder at GameStop to try and get the system early in the morning and not wait for UPS to deliver from Bestbuy or Amazon. What is the chance that GameStop tries to force a bundle on people? I know back in the day when I got a PS2 from them they made me buy a warranty.

It might be boring but we're less than two weeks from the presentation. Who really wants substantial leaks at this point? I'd rather save my excitement for when Nintendo themselves showcase the Switch and its upcoming games.

The Wii U's parting gift to its son. a depressing meme.Looks like we already have this. And it isn't even the 12th, yet.

That you bothered to find and post it.
But hey, like any meme, it lost meaning.

If you pre-order you should be fine. They only do that bundle shit when they're selling non pre-order stock.
It was in the No MEA on Switch thread.
You need to adjust your expectations people, that way there would be just a little disappointment.
Release schedule in my head:
Launch: Zelda BoTW, Mario 3D, Splatoon, Skyrim (not remastered PS3 port), Rayman Legends, Fifa 17 (PS3 version), Madden (PS3 version) NBA 2K17 (again, PS3 version), Megaman Collection, DQMJ3 Professional (up-res port, Jp only, lol), Disgaea 1 Switch Edition, Skylanders, Lego City
April: Mario Kart 8, Blazblue Central Fiction
May: Great Ace Attorney 2 (Jp only, because fuck you that's why), XCX, Rime
June: Assassin's Creed Ezio Collection (this is the one Laura was talking about), Mario Maker (3DS port, no sharing), GotG Episode 1
Summer: Nothing, just like Wii U's first summer
September: Rabbids Battle Kingdom (F2P shit, Mario just a cameo)
Fall: Pokémon Stars (just a up-res Sun/Moon), Pikmin 4 (it's 2D sidescroller lol), Sonic 2017 (2006-2), Smash (no new characters, Cloud, Bayo and Ryu gone for some reason), Dragon Quest XI (Square decides to localize only PS4 version)
2018: Beyond Good & Evil 2 (top down perspective, 5 hours long), Donkey Kong Country: Cranky's Adventure (Retro's Fucking new game), New Nintendo IP (Jp exclusive, just like Reginleiv, Soma Bringer, Captain Rainbow were), Hyper Nintendo Entertainment System (first 10th gen platform, graphical powerhouse, fall)
See? My expectations can't go any lower. Now I'll be crazy happy when they announce something extra at next week's event. You should try too, it will feel amazing!

Do you really think Skyrim would not be the remastered version?
There's lowering expectations to a reasonable level, & then there's overkill. This falls under the latter (though I have the impression that you're mocking me).
That said, what makes you think that both Zelda & Mario will be on Day 1?
No, but I want to be surprised, so... I'll just pretend like it is a just port of PS3 version.
It may sound overkill to you but some of those are really possible. Like Square bringing only PS4 version of the game. Or Ubisoft treating the system like a tablet and making F2P stuff. Or Retro's new game turns out to be another fucking Donkey kong because "they're not really done with the franchise". They're really believable. Let's hope they won't end up true.
You know there is lowering your expectations, and there is lying about what you expect.
Dumb thing about that IGN thread is the source is from December 19th. Why bother dredging it up this late?
Never miss a chance to laugh at Nintendo.

At least there's a game running on it which is what the Wii U didn't have.

Or Vita....
Yeah, for me those two are the same thing. I know deep down I feel like Titanfall 2 will come out for Switch. I'm just trying to deny. I don't want to be let down.

Titanfall 2 is going to be an old ass game when the Switch releases,thats just one reason it wont come out to the Switch

Honestly the only EA published game I'm interested in. This game could have been a Switch launch game if EA wasn't so greedy.
Not as old as ancient Rayman Legends but it's rumored to get ported. So that's not a valid reason.
