Good at least they've got Zelda down. As long as nothing catastrophic happens.

It looks incredible and so epic. So different. I NEED IT NOW.

Wonder about that U version. lol

Reggie says "man what games!" And I'm like ... Man? What games?

This filtered through my mind, too. They really didn't give us a very good idea of what all will be available on release day.

They've obviously got some good stuff down the pipe, but I would have liked a more concise list.

This is Nintendo. They don't usually throw dates around like that willy-nilly.

There is Nintendo Treehouse stream tomorrow at 9:30am EST. Maybe they will have the launch lineup then?

[Michi]

^ That would be nice.

[Tanooki]

Yeah I'm not being negative on this, just a realist. I see some problems, but it could be their own classic Nintendo BS to blame keeping zipped up longer than is good.

Great Zelda, but what if you're not a Zelda fan or you loathe open world/concept games?

What do you have left? ARMS and the 1-2 game which has Wild Gunman among other mini game setups going on.

Sega shows up as does Suda yammering about how damn cool the thing is, how easy to make games, how unique -- then drop the bomb and we hope to make something soon. Wow helpful.

Sure you see SMT, Bomberman, 2-3 sports titles, RIME(which was a PS4 game?), Minecraft, Minecraft adventure(whatever it's called), something with a dragon flying over, Dragon Quest, and little else. And not one damn one of them more than moments of time, and with no dates or even a hint.


At the least we do see a hint of wider third party support from what has been teased, including from the US with EA and Bethesda which basically gave the WiiU the finger.

Throw out the fact Mario is end of the year, Xenoblade is who knows when...what is there to be hyped about? You don't buy consoles for one game and sit on it for nearly a year. People did that with Halo that kept the old xbox from bombing for a very long time, and Zelda doesn't have the mindless appeal of a first person shooter online or off.

Zelda looks great but I just don't know what to think about the Switch in general. I have more questions then answers after watching that. Oh and Fire Emblem Warriors!!!

The only way we're getting real 3rd party support is if this thing sells and sells well.

[Sarge]

I was gonna be on board for Zelda anyway. I don't usually get hyped these days, but man, that trailer has me hyped. I really was fighting back a few (manly) tears at the awesomeness.

March 3 needs to come soon!

I do have concerns, though. I was really hoping they'd hit that $249 price point. I was also hoping to see more games announced for launch. It's looking pretty bare, but maybe they'll be filling in details as they go.

Xenoblade 2? Yeah, I'll take it. That weird S-E game almost looked like it might have some SaGa DNA, but I have no idea. Mario looks great. If 3D World didn't do it for you, I suspect this will. Oh, and a new SMT? Not even Persona 5, but SMT? That's pretty cool.

Still a little dicey from Ninty, lots to look forward to, but it needs a bigger launch lineup.
