Trying so hard not to be negative these days, but I swear to god Nintendo better deliver this E3, the Switch is currently on a trajectory to be the most disappointing system of all time for me.

It started out with such enormous promise, only to become a dumping ground for ancient ports, shovelware, and mediocrity.  Not a single high quality new game since Xenoblade 2 last December.

I love the hardware and last years second half lineup was amazing, but the software output this year has been absolutely pathetic so far.

I heard Kirby was pretty good.

It looks okay, but nothing really impressive or that I'd spent $80 on. I want something new on the level of 2017 titles like Splatoon 2, Xenoblade 2, or Kingdom Battle. Is that really too much to ask?

I feel at this point, you should just wait for a system life cycle to be over before buying one. Most systems go through slow times and given your standards of only getting something super ambitious instead of just trying to have some fun (and I don't know how Splatoon 2 counts as something new) it will be worse overall waiting for something big to come out, adding to the fact that If ever as something as a small drought for you makes you overreact like this.

I don't limit myself to only the "super ambitious"; Splatoon 2 wasn't overly ambitious but it was still a high quality new game, same with Kingdom Battle. I just want something on that level of quality that I didn't already play to death years ago.

Completely unrelated, but when datamining models in Persona 5: Dancing Star Night, @OtherEhm has discovered Persona Q styled models of the Persona 5 cast as accessories for the characters in game.

This is essentially an unintentional sneak peek of how the Persona 5 characters will appear on their 3DS debut.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Then like he said, wait until a sufficient amount of games you're into are on the console before buying in the future. I did that with the Wii U and despite it getting the worst software support ever I was never sitting around waiting instead of playing.

I mean, in his defense the Switch got a phenomenal onslaught in the second half of last year.

This Spring is slower no doubt and definitely seems targeted at non-Wii U owners which is understandable to a degree, that is 90% of the potential customer base.  But it can leave some hanging.

And while I don't defend droughts often, the first Spring or two of a console are usually pretty meh.  One of the reasons I have so rarely bought hardware in year 1.  June on seems pretty tight for the Switch though.  It seems honestly like this year has a similar tempo to last year.  A calm spring followed by a fast paced summer and fall capped off with a big winter.

Rabbid Peach’s Instagram has been updated with a new character from the Donkey Kong Kingdom Battle expansion. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post it here or if it would be considered a spoiler.

We got a new trailer for the Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle DLC titled, Donkey Kong Adventure !

Basic info :

- New episode starring DK, Rabbid Peach,  Cranky Rabbid. (Don't know if there's something else)

- 4 new zones to explore

- 10 hours appro. in length

- Some tweaks to the battle system has been done to reflect the DK franchise.

 

It's litteraly a legit expansion at this point. I would consider this the best consummer friendly game I've ever see from Ubisoft 

soo when is this expansion releasing?  Nice trailer also
