Nintendo, but they didn't impress. Halfway in I was feeling all the good vibes, but after the conference I'm not so sure. Xenoblade 2017, pokemon versions for switch and metroid 4 is amazing. But no footage of those two. Still very much excited, but it would be 10 times better if we got to see it. The mario trailer was fantastic, at the same time, for a second I thought we were getting a dinasaur game from nintendo, something that I've been hoping for.

Too much time spent on zelda and nothing really from third party. Where's netflix, where's hbo and so on? Kirby and yoshi really isn't interesting at all.

So yeah, actually not all that happy about nintendos event, compared to my hopes and expectations. Still prefer it to the others though. Ubisoft was the most surprising though, I'll give them that!

Yoshi is literally in your username yet you're talking smack about the guy.

and as far as third parties go I actually think Nintendo has clearly been working kind of hard. Rocket League, Fifa, Skyrim all coming this Fall is not that poor even if they are just ports. Those are popular games. 

I don't care a huge amount about the Netflix app but Nintendo not having updated an internet browser onto the Switch UI yet is pretty insane 

My username is more of a nod to the fact that I use yoshi in smash and a trailer for MGS some years ago. :P Never cared for the yoshi games. 

 

I wouldn't call that working hard. That's three popular games, skyrim being a port of a port. Xbox and PS are getting tonnes of popular games, nintendo needs more multiplats, or more exclusives from third parties (or themselves to fill  in the gaps). I'm getting all three of those and I'm glad they're coming to the switch, but it's simply not enough. More diversity is needed. Is there even going to be a shooter this year? The lack of diversity is showing, and it will hurt switch sales. 

 

If you don't use netflix then it of course is irrelevant. My point was that the switch in general lacks options outside of gaming. Many will want to have those. Some, like me would like netflix. When the new GoT season comes out many will want HBO on the thing. An internet browser is something many probably would like to see. And so much more. It's a homeconsole, but it's also a tablet. Nintendo should utilize this more.
