Monster Hunter

While I wasn't expecting it, I was hoping we'd see Metroid.

Less talking and more trailers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I rate the direct at 7 and was disappointed. After the event learn there was alot more games and more third party support,enough to change my score of the direct to a 9 maybe a 10! Huge games were announced but were horrible at there presentation. I was over the moon for no more heroes being announced but it fell flat as an announcement like many awkward moments.The EA moment was drugged out and boring, that announcement should have been big with EA coming back to support but fell flat. Im not big on Sonys e3s with trailers of games that havent even been started yet but god damn nintendo could have shown more single trailers! They had a 1 min jam vest at the end of several games that could have had there own trailer to help show that the third party is on board. GREAT CONTENT BAD SHOW!

Paid online is not bad.

More games.
More strong launch titles.

a lot felt like it was missing. I think it was natural to expect, especially with how lackluster Wii U support has been in the last 2 years or so, for Nintendo to have been working on a LOT of software for the Switch.

I don't think it would be wrong to expect that Nintendo would announce a number of launch titles, and possibly unveil that they were developing titles for some of the franchises they have mega neglected as of recent generations (Metroid, F Zero, Animal Crossing (overhaul), reinvention of something like Wave Race, etc.)

I also think, considering how much Nintendo seemed to have been hyping the Switch, that they would ensnare SOME sort of surprise third party exclusive. Or even just get a third party to agree to put their game on the Switch that might otherwise be a surprise, like Square Enix and Kingdom Hearts 3. I mean Nintendo is a big company, I don't understand how or why they haven't moneyhatted some sort of special third party exclusive, it makes zero sense

So in the end its a combination of overall lacking announced titles AND a lack of announces LAUNCH titles. I think most people expected a lot more in terms of titles. I guess we can hope that more gets unveiled soon, but based on how Nintendo has already updated their Youtube and the Nintendo site quite a bit I get the feeling that there aren't really a lot more hidden secrets with it in terms of immediate software :/

More games?
Like Metroid or MH?

This means no MH basically on March for Switch?

a 'lot' more? you mean the lazy looking Konami Bomberman game, the Sonic revitalized Genesis-ish title (again, a very small game), the Mario Kart with some more tracks and and an expanded battle mode? The reskinned Tetris?

none of those are ground breaking my friend and I think its quite obvious why they weren't emphasized 

dude come off it, there is no excuse for ANY video game platform to release with only one big exclusive, no matter how great the game is. I love Zelda, its my favorite all time franchise in video gaming, easily, but if it truly is the only big Switch game at release.... gah. That will not be an okay thing.

I mean I already have pre-ordered the thing to be safe but the reality is that its just disastrous to potentially expect buyers of the system to have only ONE big release for a few months potentially. (and no I don't count a Mario Kart rerelease as anything new really).

if Nintendo doesn't have something else big for March or April and just 'chills' till E3 and likely beyond (since at E3 you'd be announcing like holiday titles) then that will be pretty lame

I mean after the Wii U getting like mega few releases most people would naturally figure Nintendo was bulking up for the Switch release. What were they doing otherwise>? bit of a mystery now, were the dev teams just on extended vacations 

I'm not saying that's all they should have. I'm saying that Nintendo plans on selling 2 million of these things, Zelda can take care of that easy. To hope that we're getting huge AAA third party games woudl be "on it". We're simply not going to get those games on Switch. All I'm saying is wait until after E3 to start making conclusions out of things that haven't been shown yet. Based off what has been shown, Nintendo should be able to sell through their stock in time to get people excited again around E3. 

@ bolded: Seems like a contradiction there since you say wait before making conclusions but then you say that the Switch isn't getting those huge AAA games when nobody knows that yet, launch is still 2 months away. 

Not arguing your point or anything, i'm just pointing that out.
