You're not kidding.  The best year that I can think of for the Wii U was 2014 and it only had six notable games: Tropical Freeze, MK8, Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, Captain To Treasure: Ad Tracker and Smash ( Sonic Boom came out too but I think we all like to pretend that game never happened).  Since Nintendo is combining their development resources onto one platform, I think the 'at least one significant retail game per month' formula is going to be the norm.

I'm more stoked for Nintendo's E3 this year more than ever. I was disappointed by both MS and Sony.

Nintendo you are our last hope tomorrow

Well, that's what happens when people want tons of big announcments in bulk; you get a lot of games that won't come out for 2-3 years and future E3's that consist of a lot of repeat content.

I must admit I am a little bummed out right now. Switch got very few third-parties so far; games that are supposed to come to Switch got sequels that are not (at least based on what we know) coming to the system (like Monster Hunter Worlds and Dragon Ball FighterZ). The Switch conference is only 25 minutes, so I doubt they can really squeeze many things in there (particularly because they will likely dedicate time to Xenoblade, lots of time for Mario Odyssey, FE Warriors, and potentially even ARMS and Splatoon which are launching so close). At this point I doubt we will see much in the way of major new games or announcements for third-party stuff. Hopefully I'm wrong, but the length of that presentation is worrying, as it is even shorter than the May Nintendo Direct. I am hoping for the best but, frankly, expecting the very worst.

Nintendo this is your chance! You can get all the spotlight! Just like Zelda last year!

I'm so pumped for this! Let's see a real Animal crossing game. And new Harvest Moon.

You ain't lying. Nothing blew me out of my socks. I'm looking for something amazing and I'm not sure if Nintendo can deliver either. I know Metroid Prime 4 or Bayonetta 3 will do it.

A new Metroid and Bayo3 just might do it. Hell I'll take a Wonderful 102 or something. LOL
