| DélioPT said: There are a few games i'll be buying this year: Yoshi, Hyrule Warriors and Captain Toad (didn't get them on Wii U) and probably Mario Aces. As others have said, personal tastes aside, this really is a bad year, even if we don't compare it to 2017. The only major game that 2018 has, so far, is Smash. That's it. And you can always say that we don't know the full line-up for the second half - which is true - but i am left wondering why did they reveal Smash so soon (E3 is 3 months away). It's a huge game for them; a true system seller. Didn't they have anything else, even if not as big, to show in March, for the last quarter, instead of Smash? |
I don't know if we can say this is a bad year, even with personal tastes aside. A lot of these ports are games that fans haven't played before because it was on Wii U or it was on other consoles and its a good opportunity to port them and showcase the portability factor with the Switch. Not saying its a legendary year, but its hard to say its a bad year at this time.
2018 has Kirby, Yoshi, Smash Bros., Mario Tennis Aces, and Labo so far in terms of first party titles (or concepts with Labo in mind). Then you have Fire Emblem confirmed for 2018 and potentially Pokemon. And its not unprecedented that Smash and Pokemon could release in the same year as ORAS and Smash Wii U released on the same day in NA, albeit on different consoles.
As for why Smash was announced, tough to tell. Nintendo will announce games when they're ready to show them or tease them.
