Forums - Nintendo Discussion - What 5 games does Nintendo need to show to WOW people at the Nintendo Switch Event? (First and Third party games)

Soundwave on 27 October 2016

If they can show Final Fantasy XV running on this system ... and not looking like crap ... that would be an interesting thing.

Basically any really high end "built for PS4/XB1" game, not a 5 year old port of Skyrim or NBA 2K (which is also on the PS3/360 still).

What they need to show?

-new 3D Mario
-Zelda BotW NX version
-Retros Project
-something new
-some big 3rd party exlusive

Show everything the Wii U missed and the reaction will be overwhelming. Retro Studios, Metroid, F-Zero, true 3D Mario, strong third party multiplats and exclusives. If they show even half of these... I'm good.

-A stunning looking 3D Mario
-An ambitious Retro Title
-A new Nintendo IP
-Impressive Capcom, Square and Ubisoft exclusives
-Pokemon Blue, Red remakes/Reboots.

I think people greatly overestimate the effect of showing existing PS4/Xbox One games, running on the system. The large majority of people will not be interested in the watered down Switch version when they've already got a more capable system at home.

Only the Japanese AAA titles like Kingdoms Hearts and FFXV will really mean anything in the longterm.

Final Fantasy VII Remake running on Switch would bring down the house at the event. No question about it.

Everyone kinda expects Mario/Zelda/Metroid to an extent, that's going to be more of "oh ok here it is".

But if they show FFVII Remake running on that little portable, I think the gaming press in particular is going have heads exploding.

Provided the system can even run said game.

I would argue it will take more than 5 games to wow people.

Yeah after all this time of nothingness for the Wii U and little for the 3DS I expect a dozen plus games that are coming out soon, not two years from now. Atleast that's what it'll take for me to consider getting a Switch within it's first year.

3 mainline Zelda games and 2 mainline Metroid games



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

It still needs to be something that Nintendo is comfortable with.

Why are you downgrading the games I want, are you working for Ubisoft?
