So, what are we expecting the launch line-up to be?
I can see:
Zelda BotW
Splatoon Remaster
Mario Kart Remaster (digital)
Smash Bros Remaster (digital)
Watch_Dogs 2?
Battlefield 1?
Injustice 2? (If it releases in March)
DQ Builders / World of FF?
But aside from Zelda , which will also be avaible on WiiU, those are all ports of old games, which would make the line up really boring.
I don't follow N's studios too closely, which ones might have Switch exclusive titles ready for launch?
Unlike Wii U, there is lots of potential 3rd party ports for Switch to be had.
Launch day should be like this:
Nintendo: Zelda, Splatoon Ultimate, Mario Kart 8.5, Starfox Z Ultimate, DKC Tropical Freeze, XCX, Mario Maker and one surprise brand new game.
Ubisoft: For Honor, South Park Fractured Butthole, Watch Dogs 2, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Just Dance and one surprise family game (Rabbids?)
Namco: Ridge Racer and a probably Japan exclusive Gundam game.
Sega: Nothing. Maybe that retro Sonic sequel, but I don't think so.
Capcom: Nothing.
EA: FIFA 17, Madden 17, Battlefield 1 and Battlefront GOTY Edition
Square-enix: Nier Automata and maybe Rise of Tomb Raider
T2: NBA 2K17, WWE 2K17
Activision: CoD: Infinite Warfare, Skylanders Imaginators
Koei Tecmo: A brand new musou game, similar to the one Wii U got. Maybe Nioh too but I don't think so.
Bethesda: Skyrim Remastered and Fallout 4. I think Nintendo themselves will market these late ports. As the reveal video suggests, those two might be biggest selling points of the system on launch day.
WB Games: Nothing I guess. Injustice 2 should come out for Switch but not on launch day.
