I've yet to come across a launch lineup that had more than two or three games I was truly interested in. So far I regret none of those purchases. And if I am being really honest with myself, I'm at a point in my life with family and other responsibilities where more than that would result in unplayed games for several months.

The games that have been announced for 2017 are promising enough. Not to mention we haven't had any really big trade shows like E3 since the launch lineup was revealed. I'm sure there will be more to come this year than what is currently on the docket. Seriously, its going to be fine for early adopters barring any huge technical glitches. (I'm referring to some early reports of JoyCon disconnections. These people don't have the day 1 patch though)
The family talk here is very very real. I only have so many hours to play games and I gotta be picky on what I choose. I am just very lucky to have a wife who is more than happy to play co-op in games.

Apparently there will be a bundle (at least in Europe) which has 2 neon joycons and Snipperclips (as a download code). I'm almost tempted - that'd be 4 controllers to play Bomberman with when I pick that up...

Damn, where at? I didn't see any bundles. I've pre-ordered an additional set of joycons (neon ones) with the console.

It seems especially cruel to my time management capabilities that Breath of the Wild comes out the same week as Horizon: Zero Dawn.

I also pre-ordered Redout. Any scuttlebutt on that yet? Is it supposed to be any good?

it had pretty decent reviews on Steam. It languished on my wish list for a long time - mostly because of VR support - but I was never a big enough Wipeout/etc fan to make me pull the trigger at full price.

I know what you mean, especially with HZD reviewing so well. But this is the life we chose.
