I doubt it. It's way too early in development right now. I think either 2019 or 2020 is more likely.

Depends on the person. For people who skipped on the Wii U, this may be potential good for them, but for those who already played many of the Wii U titles, there doesn't look to be much meat on those bones. It's alright for me personally. I'll likely pick up a few titles here and there, like Kirby.

I'm sure they'll announce more titles later on though.

It's pretty decent, not the best but has enough games I'm interested in

Not sure if I will double dip for TWEWY, but I probably will... DQ Builders is one I'm really interested in as well

It's a good line-up, really strong. Personally though, Bayonetta is all that interests me.

It’s an AA RPG from Koei Tecmo/Gust. Definitely worth mentioning.

Sorry but that is just wrong.

1. We are comparing handheld performance. The switch’s max resolution in handheld mode is 720p, not 1080p. 

2. switch docked has 376 gflops, undocked 192 gflops. Ps3 and Xbox 360 had 240 gflops (but less ram and outdated architecture). Xbox one has 1250 gflops, ps4 has 1850. where on hell should the switch be more similar to the 8th gen lmao ?

the switch in docked mode can run some 7th gen game in 1080p. That’s it. In handheld mode it’s as powerful as the 7th gen. It’s not capable to run real 8th gen games like Witcher 3 at all. It’s even a big surprise they got doom running on sub 720p, unstable 30 FPS and lower then low settings. The game runs 900p-1080p 60fps high settings on the ps4. How is that a similar resolution lmao

the switch uses a 3 year old arm based mobile tablet soc that has (in docked mode) ~20% of the power of the ps4 and ~33% of the power of the Xbox one and ~170% of 7th gen power. 

No, ports and remasters are not a way to keep or even increase momentum. And it's not Mario Tennis and Kirby that's going to cut it.

Speaking of announcements in Mini Directs...
Thing is, those Mini Directs were never used as regular Direct... until now.
If you actually go and look at how Nintendo handled Mini Directs, you'll see that the vast majority of them were made for a single game or a specific country and they also weren't used to reveal games like we saw in the recent Mini Direct.
Not to mention that there hasn't been one, non-specific game Mini Direct, that was broadcasted worldwide (there were a few close to that, but none like the recente one).

The new Mini Direct we saw broke tradition. Period.

Now, you could say that Nintendo has something planned for the first semester.
Well, they didn't reveal anything for June, if i'm not mistaken. So, we could still see one title more.
But should we expect more for the former months? Most likely not. And why? It's been Nintendo's way of doing things, to have 1 big title per month. And from we just saw, they are sticking to that way of doing things.

If you look the release Schedule, you'll see this:
February: Bayonetta 1 + 2
March: Kirby
April: Mario tennis (not confirmed)
May: Street Fighter (just like last year); Dark Souls Remastered, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
June: ?

"The World ends with you" only has a 2018 release window.
So, if Mario Tennis comes out in April or June, you'll only have room for another game (which could very well be Hyrule Warriors).
I think it's safe to assume January is out of the question.

Nintendo didn't drop the ball?
How many 1st party games has Nintendo announced for the 1st half of 2018?
You implied several times that Nintendo would have a lot of games ready seeing as they stopped focusing on 3DS and Wii U and they were streamlining their SW production.

The problem is that if there's a big difference between 2017 and 2018, Switch's perception would take a hit.

We went through this, yes they are in Switch case because full portable mode, games like Skyrim, Doom and Rocket League are all major releases for Switch. You keep forgetting that most popular game even on PS4 and XB1 is PS3/360 port.

First this Direct Mini was not like regular Direct, we had plenty of news in only 15 minutes, without single big announcement. Second, we had before Mini Direct with multiple announcements. We had plenty of time with Nintendo Directs that Japan has their own specifk Directs, while Europle/US has other, so nothing relly strange. Also onother point is that this was real Mini Direct is that we had announcement and release shortly after announcement, and that isnt case with regular Directs.

Even if maybe there are some differences, fact is that this was Mini Direct not regular Direct.  We will definitely have another regular Direct in around March, maybe even sooner.

We will see, I just saying that its almost certain that Nintendo didn't announced hole Switch 1H 2018. lineup, and that espacily goes for 3rd party games.

Of Course they did not drop ball, like you wrote they will have releases for every month, there announced enough games that there no any droughts again, and they will definitely announced some more games for 1H 2018.

When we are at end of 2018. than tell me how much is difference between Switch 2017. and Switch 2018. lineup, Nintendo mostly announced games for Q1 of 2018. there will be more announcements for Q2 and I will not mentioned 2H of 2018. Last year in January you also thought that Switch lineup is weak.

I'll take this discussion to the other thread, then.

It looks decent. Not great, but decent. Which is fine by me as I'm going to be busy working through a sizable backlog of games between my Switch, XB One, and games I have to review.

I'm still waiting for a price drop or deal on Switch Skyrim before I even take the plunge on that one, which by itself will take up a lot of time.

Strangely enough I want to get the remasters/re-releases moreso than most of the new titles, as I either haven't played them or just want to play a handheld version of them. I definitely want to get: DKC Tropical Freeze, Payday 2, Dark Souls, Hyrule Warriors (skipped this on the Wii U, and my friend has raved about it)

Maybes or discounted: Wolfenstein 2, Mario Tennis, Kirby, Fe.

And it's probably not until late 2018, but I'm really looking forward to Octopath based on the demo I played.
