What other games besides Zelda is there? Bought NBA Playground which is really fun. Thinking of getting Shovel Knight and that Final Fantasy Tactics game. Not sure if I will want to play such a slow type of.game like Tatics anymore though.

Disgaea 5 (the Tactics game) is incredibly. Really hamfisted story but the gameplay carries the game. Very grindy though, not for everyone. If you're already having reservations about that kind of game, I'd steer clear tbh.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is obviously the goods, if you don't already have it on Wii U. Lego City Undercover is fun if you like the Lego type games. It seems very poorly optimized on the console though, the framerate dips really kind of killed the game for me. If that's not a big issue for you, could be a good purchase. Puyo Puyo Tetris is great fun if you like Tetris. I'm not sure if the demo is still available now that the full game is released, but I highly recommend trying out the demo if you can. tbh I kind of regret buying the full game and would be fine with just having the demo. Minecraft is great if you like that type of game, and/or don't already own it on one of the other numerous platforms it's available on. It's definitely one of those "you get what you put into it" type of games, so YMMV I'm really excited for Shantae: Half-Genie Hero to come out this week as well. It's a fun platformer/Metroidvania type series being ported in, if that's your jam. The games are easier than Shovel Knight, which can be frustrating at times |

I'm not gonna lie, I was going over a mental list of games to try and recommend, and I do have to admit that the criticisms of the Switch having a lacking library are not unfounded (holy double-negative).
A lot of the current offerings aside from Zelda are pretty niche. In Nintendo's defence, the 3DS started off really slow, as did the PS4 if you recall. Doesn't make it any easier to swallow, of course, but there are some big titles coming on the horizon. Plus E3 this week. My biggest gripe is that even the games that I am mildly interested in just seem so overpriced. Would I play a 20-year old port of Street Fighter II with VIOLENT KEN? Sure, why not. For $40? Fuck no. Super Bomberman R seems like it would be a hoot, but not for $60. That all said, I am fully in love with the console, but there are definitely legitimate criticisms with the lack of library still. I totally have faith that within a year it will boast some impressive titles though. |

I think the library is looking pretty great. I got a PS4 at launch too and I was hunting around for games that I didn't already have on 360. I've just gone back to the list and it basically only had Infamous: Second Son and that was 5 months later.
The fact we still have ARMS, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade and Mario by the end of the year is bananas. |

They should do the whole presentation around "Magikarp is jumping to Nintendo Switch" and then do a lengthy explanation of how the game works.
Then just end it with "And this will be free to all Nintendo Switch owners who purchase the upcoming Pokemon: Stars for Nintendo Switch, out tomorrow" and then say nothing more. Just shadowdrop that shit. |

Eh, in Japan. Still hard to get people to give a shit over here. BUt yeah, Pokemon...
I think this will only be small thing. Surely if they had Stars, they'd just wait for E3 at this point? |

Thinking about it, it could be talking about Pokken for Switch, which was rumored about a week ago

Switch lacks games but in time there will be more than enough. ARMS looks like a game I will never get tired of like Overwatch. Really excited for it.

I honestly have no idea what to expect. Part of me thinks it's gonna be some shitty Magikarp Jump shit or something equally useless, but these guys are not above making a huge announcement a week before E3. If they announce any type of mainline game (the rumoured "Stars" game, gen 4 remakes, or anything similar that people have been clamouring for), I will fucking die. This morning will be so slow.

If they announce Magikarp Jump for the Switch I'll probably buy it because I'm a whore.

Do they believe people will buy a 3DS for thes3 games or something? Why not just put the fuckers on Switch too.

I get that the old games did. But who is really buying a 3DS that does not already have one?

I'm as diehard a Pokemon fan as anyone and I have literally zero intention of getting Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon on the 3DS
Have it come out for the Switch and then we'll talk |

Seems silly but I guess. If they are going that route I doubt it will come out on the Switch anytime soon.

In other, actual positive news:
http://www.nintendo.com/en_CA/whatsn...intendo-kiosks Sign-ups for an early-access Mario Odyssey thing in Canada next week... seems good. Mississauga and Burnaby, BC seem like weird spots but hey I'm close to Mississauga so no complaints here |

(trying to talk myself into this)
If they launch the Ultra Sun/Moon thing with the N2DSXL as a bundle, and the game includes some slight improvements (NATIONAL DEX PLEASE) and some improved framerates, I could see myself getting suckered in. That's a very precise and specific list of "ifs" though. Alternately, if they'd just fuck off with the whole thing and announce "lol jk coming out on Switch as well" I will gladly drop $60 apiece on both Sun and Moon |
