It lacks a massive hit but has a bunch of mid tier titles.

It's hardly as exciting as 2017 but that's not to say I find it bad...
I'll definitely be playing Kirby with me nephew...
I'm looking forward to being able to take Bayonetta anywhere...
Not see how I feel about Tropical Freeze yet...
Either way, I only just got the DLC for Breath of the Wild, and I should be getting Xenoblade 2 soon, so I won't feel deprived of games anytime soon...



Have a nice day...

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

I liked it. specially since I skipped the wii u. Never played dark souls so I think Ill get that. Y's I have never heard of before. Does not look bad. have to look into it more.

So 3 must buys
Dark souls
the world ends with you
bayoneta

2 maybes
Y's
DK

The rest is not for me.

I say thats pretty good for a partial first half of the year. Other games also coming like wolfenstein, and most likely a few more un announced for the first half as well.

Awful. Is E3 in February this year?

The only positive was that WiiU owners got a few more slaps in the face. I just wish they were top tier slaps.

Some of those wii u games might be big on switch since a lot of fans skipped the wii u. Also there's a whole new audience on switch who probably dint even look at what nintendo has offered before, so it can be interesting for some. Not saying its close to 2017, but the year just started and quantity alone already looks better in 2018.

All ports and very little new. Not good. Wii U caliber lineup IMO.

Here, I'll refresh your memory. Wii U's first half of 2014:

February - Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
May - Mario Kart 8

I didn't make any noteworthy omissions in this list.

So two big new games vs no big new games. They desperately need Octopath and Fire Emblem for the first half of 2018, and then they need two more heavy hitters.

Is missing Atelier, Longest 5 minutes and penny punching princess for feb~mar, and others I don't remember now!

Decent it lacks something big like Breath Of The Wild which that alone doesn't make the line up look as good the first of 2017 was for the Switch. But on the flip side third party support is much better for the first half of 2018 then was the first half of 2017 and at any point then the Wii U's life.
