I want a package with Bayonetta 1+2 & 3

Call it Bayonetta Trinity



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Maybe, but then people clearly didn't want to play those games otherwise they would have sold more in the 1st place. Look at Mk8 it sold amazing because that's a game people wanted. I think nintendo probably realise now they need four things for success. Mario Kart, 3d Mario, mature zelda and Pokemon. Add splatoon and smash too, so call it 6. 

I don`t think so. There are games that are system sellers, but there are games that sell well because they are on a platform with a big install base. There are many games that are kinda " well, this games is in my system, it`s heavily discounted so let me grab a copy". Like Carnival Games on Wii.

Yeah definitely. But games like Donkey Kong TF and Wind Waker HD are like 14 pound right now In UK And they ain't exactly selling well. Even in germany games like Lego city and pikmin 3 are only 25 euros. Nintendo should just get the games I mentioned out as quick as possible so there IS an install Base to sell much smaller IPSWICH like Xenoblade,  bayonetta,  DK etc etc

Since Switch isn't backwards compatible, it only makes sense to cash in with some easy remaster/ports, yeah. Can't see every WiiU game on it, though.

I agree, this is a big factor in such a business decision. Granted, if it was a matter of choosing between stick with PowerPC/backwards compatibility, vs. migrating to x86/fewer ports, I am glad that Nintendo made the latter move, at least at this point in their history.

We can hope though, some great games like Bayonetta would be wonderful to port over. I predict fewer than what the Wii U had as ports, but I could be totally wrong on that =p

Add to that Animal Crossing, Metroid, Kirby and Fire Emblem and you probably be right.

Not too sure about Metroid  and Kirby,  honestly think there just a nice little incentive or bonus really. Animal crossing can definitely shift consoles though. I mean these are the games nintendo should be making not stuff like Star fox zero and project guard or whatever it was called. Get these big sellers out there and don't taint them with shit like Amiboo AC thing and the already mentioned SF zero. Didn't they release some garbage metroid  game too.  They trying to kill off some smaller Franchises lol

I'd be surprised if we didn't get a whole bunch of ports and remasters of Wii and Wii U games, considering the lack of BC (booo) and how terribly Wii U did.

I knew I had been hearing too much about Trump when I read "massively deported" in stead of "massively ported"...

I'm very, very pleased to see that this isn't the case currently. I was extremely worried that the first year of the Switch would be stuffed full of ports and only a handful of new games. That we have a healthy number of NEW exclusives and only 1 port is very good to see.

The rumored Super Smash and Mario Maker is probably true and probably release in 2018.

I would like them to port W101 and TMS #fe. They could get a couple thousands copies sold.

Maybe exclusive games maked for third party studios like hyrule warriors, bayonetta 1 and 2, the wonderful 101, zombi U ( its no longer an exclusive ), Pokken Tournament, tokyo mirage sessions #fe, Devils Third.

Pretty sure Smash4Switch is a given



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
