Hearing $20-30.
I've been trying to find out too. Anything more than $30 is a joke and that's pushing it. Something tells me it's going to be $50 or $60.

Metroid's not confirmed, but of the 20 or so remaining titles you just named 5 of them.
First off. WTF is Rigs?
Secondly. Your value judgement on an unrelated 2nd game has no bearing on the clear value of this game.
Arms is a fighting game.
I expected more from Nintendo given the relative software draught of both the WiiU and 3DS in recent times. Furthermore, I feel they could've spiced up the launch window with some WiiU ports because only a small amount of people played those and there are some fantastic WiiU exclusives.
Still, the Mario looks damned good and I love the fact that there is a sequel to Xenoblade Chronicles in the works. Splatoon 2 should also be good. Zelda is hype as well offcourse but not really for me personally given the direction they took with it (nonetheless, I agree the degree of interactivity with the world looks extremely impressive).
I assume they left a lot to reveal, to keep momentum, especially during the summer.

Seems like they're reaching out to indies more with the Switch which is awesome. The launch lineup for the Switch is a bummer but I'm excited for Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Odyssey.
Rigs is a mediocre PSVR game. It's not terrible but also nothing special.

Add "SteamWorld Project 2017" from Image & Form games. Deets in the "coming months". Obviously seems to be a working title.
I like that too. A lot of retro-style indies would be perfect as portable games.
Likely easy on the battery, and good to play on a plane/train/pooping/etc.
We need to divide this list by ports and original switch games
and the timeline. This many games in a 3+ year timeline means nothing. If all this was launching this year, that would be impressive.

listen to the mad man
I think it's pretty unclear as to whether boxing games ought be classed as fighting, sports, or another genre. If I had to guess I'd personally say that Punch-Out! / Teleroboxer are closer to an arcade puzzler than anything. Because you have a bit of mobility this is definitely different from that. I think the user's choice to bring in another game that is also a weird inter-genre hybrid to argue that it, too, has been seen as a sports game is absolutely relevant to this conversation.
But... like... What I don't get is why there's now an aggressive back and forth between you and this other poster because someone referred to Arms as "Sports". It's really not obvious to me why it couldn't be something of a sports game (in addition to being something of a fighter) and the same is true for boxing games more broadly. Certainly it doesn't seem obvious enough to immediately get aggressive with people if they disagree. It's not like they're calling Mario an FPS; it's more like they're calling Portal an FPS.
According to eurogamer, this is the timeline of games for 2017 :

Yeah, that's a pretty bad launch day. One great cross-gen title, and 30fps Bomberman.
Racing is a sport too. Yet you don't see all those games lumped into sports.
We have distinct categories once a genre has matured enough to earn its place. The OP is essentially saying Arms doesn't deserve to be a fighting ams even though you and I both know differently. But unlike you I get aggressive when these distinction are made.

People often think Nintendo is doing this and then no big guns come out.
Who was that? I wasn't Laura right? Since she did get somethings wrong.
So was it NateDrake, Liam or Emily?

i'm down for:
sonic mania
super mario odyssey
breath of the wild
splatoon 2
xenoblade 2 (though probably not 2017)
maybes on mario kart 8 and bomberman. the first because of the online paywall and the fact i already own the original... but local multiplayer still works and it's where i've had the most fun with mk traditionally anyway.
bomberman almost for the novelty of it, but it also looks like fun.
i feel like there will be more games for 2017 not shown here. a nintendo direct (not e3) with more stuff like smash bros., pokemon, mario maker, etc. they might have wanted to avoid making the system look like it was full of ports at the start, and pokemon is traditionally its own thing anyway.

Only game in this list that wouldn't hit is XB2 lol. The rest have no reason to miss, which is good because a lot of these games are older and need to come out ASAP.
Not a bad list for me, especially the adventure and RPG category.
My main gripe is with the hardware and price itself. They are asking for too much.
Personally I'm looking forward to;
- Zelda
- Mario
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2
- Arms (My son will love this one)
And also potentially Metroid and Starfox. But as it stands there isn't enough here to warrant a purchase just yet.

Release or tentative release dates next to each would be more informative. It's easy to look at this list and think, shit, that's a lotta games but clearly they're not all at launch.
which one is that?
There was a link posted to confirmation in one of the the Switch threads, sorry I'm not sure which one it was.

No regular minecraft? :-o
ZSaberLink

It's in the list.

Thx, I am blind and/or my STRG F is broken. Sorry.
Yeah, I can think about 10-15 titles that'd be a good audience fit and should run in theory (plus all the non-moneyhatted Vita/PS4 third party games).

Steep is coming to Switch? Awesome
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the secrecy is actually part of why it's disappointing. Nintendo probably delayed getting dev kits around in an effort to keep the console a secret because they think their ideas are so revolutionary that everyone would try to copy them. That would explain why stuff like a Skyrim port doesn't come out until Fall.

Not a fantastic line-up... I see only six games on the list that I want
Dying to play
Mario Odyssey
Zelda BOTW
Would like to play
Splatoon 2
Mario Kart 8
Curious to try out
Project Octopath, whatever the hell that is
Whatever Suda's working on
If the Wii U prices really hit rock bottom, I might be tempted to get that instead, lol.
