Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Another Switch Launch Title (plus more)

The game looks interesting. Wanted to get some version of it for PS3 but never got around to buy it. Maybe I'll give it a try on the Switch.

The Launch games aren't that bad (Mainly due to Breath of The Wild being day 1 though)

  • 1-2-Switch
  • The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+
  • Just Dance 2017
  • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
  • Skylanders: Imaginators
  • Super Bomberman R

If you ignore BoTW because its a cross gen title.... its pretty damn weak.

Even if you dont, BoTW is basically the only game there thats intresting.

If you own a Wii U, theres like zero incentive to get a switch day1.

 

Id argue this is probably the weakest nintendo launch lineup ever, for a home console.

Except that Breath of the Wild on the Switch is superior to the Wii U version and has added portability. The 3DS and Wii U launch were worse. Even the DS launch was bad. 

And you don't have to wait long for more games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in April, Arms in Spring and Splatoon 2 in the Summer.

Wii U launch lineup:

U.S. launch: November 18, 2012 

 

The Switch launches with 1 big game.... BoTW, thats also a cross gen title.

Wii U launched with multiple big games.

Imo Wii U launch line up was/is stronger than the Switch's.

People still thought the WiiU launch was shit though. The N64 launched with 2 titles.

How could you ignore breath of the wild just because its releasing on 2 consoles at the same time? It's still a new game that hasn't come out yet Besides a main series Zelda game alone beats the Wii U's launch all it got was a 2D mario game and 6 month old unoptimized ports which lacked features. So Zelda Breath of Wild (one of the pretty much biggest games of 2017) and some side games (tough Super Bomberman has got be super excited) is enough for me at launch. Especially if it gets Gamecube VC games cause playing Mario Sunshine on a handheld is pretty big. Also the games just announced so far that are coming in 2017 is already better than any year the Wii U got, I mean Splatoon, Main series Zelda, Proper 3D Mario, Xenoblade, Fire Emblem Warriors, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Arms, Yooka Laylee, I could go on and on and I didn't even mention some of the biggest coming just this year.

Yeah but atleast those two titles where "big" then.

And exclusive to the system. Mario 64 was revolutionary back then.

Id say even that beats the Switch launch titles.

Yeah, it launched with a lot of games, but almost none of them sold well besides NSMBU (Nintendoland was bundled). Nintendo hardcore fans (the early adopters) simply aren't interested in late third-party games (which is what most of the games on that list are). And NSMBU looks just like the Wii game, but in HD, a very unimpressive launch game if you ask me. Anyway, you said there was zero incentive, which is not true. A superior Zelda game is an incentive (to me).

So what is the problem. The lack of games or the lack of big games?

Both. Switch lineup lacks both, imo. And something exclusive that ll really sell the system.
