Soundwave said:

1, 2, Switch $49.99

 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe $59.99

Arms $59.99

Indie-tier titles and MK8 DLC for full-price. Jesus, Ninty.

Only 7 games? theres gotta be more than it surely?



How is this not the worst launch line up of any Nintendo system ever? Even games that are as good as finishes (Skyrim, Steep, Rayman) will be launching way later into 2017.

So in the first 9 months confirmed for sure:

- Zelda: Breath of The Wild
- Splatoon 2
- Mario Kart Deluxe
- Lego City Undercover
- ARMS
- Skyrim
- Super Mario Oddissey

Not bad at all, also I expect Dragon Quest Heroes I&II to come in 2017 too. Maybe DQXI too?

I'm getting an awfully strong WiiU vibe from the lack of games, im not convinced third parties are that interested yet. Guess we will know soon enough :P



Too bad MK8 didnt make it for launch. Does it contain all the dlc?

Also $60 for Arms is too much from what I've seen.

You are seeing ghosts, WiiU had Zombie U, NSMBU and Wonderful 101 as big games first 9 months, this console has things like Breath of The Wild, Splatoon 2, Mario Oddissey and maybe even DQXI and xenoblade 2 on Japan, with Mario Kart and Skyrim on the go as the icing of the cake, that sounds actually really good, just with BoTW is already a superior launch lol.

Yes, and more.



Intel Core i7 8700K | 32 GB DDR 4 PC 3200 | ROG STRIX Z370-F Gaming | RTX 3090 FE| Crappy Monitor| HTC Vive Pro :3

So it's Zelda and nothing. Until
Mario Odyssey.



..... You forgot Xenoblade Chronicles 2....

Maybe you're right it was a long time ago but looking at this list here it says the WiiU launched with 32 titles. http://www.ign.com/wikis/wii-u/Wii_U_Launch_Games_(US) seems like the Switch is launching with a much weaker line up. I understand Zelda is a big selling point but I suspect alot of people will just opt for the WiiU version if the other titles are convincing either to upgrade.
