I'm not going to say I believe that list, but it does make me wonder if Nintendo should launch with Mario Kart and Splatoon. As much as I'd love a 3D Mario at launch, it just seems like they'd want to save either that or Zelda for later in the year.

If a new Mario and Zelda are really released at the same time this thing is going to kill it.
Why is everything but the stuff we know about as a placeholder? Why would they give them that information and not give them the full list? It's not like it's just limited to games already announced officially.

Maybe they want to start with a strong demand for the units. Remember by going to this console they're not dividing between the 3DS and the Wiiu anymore.. there haven't been any Wiiu games forever so you have to think that they've been working on some stuff for a while and it looks like the upcoming 3DS schedules pretty barren as well.

Is it all PAL stuff in English? As far as the boxes go?

It could be all the Switch games currently in the system to preorder, not that all are available at launch I suppose.
Boxes etc are all translated in germany. well except for the title of the game.

Sorry I meant the title I apologize I should've been more clear
Nintendo Spain's PR manager just posted this on his Twitter, and I think it's amazing. Not sure if it's his creation, but whatever.
Being from Spain, this is the first thing I like from Nintendo Spain in a long time
Absolutely and it's nice to see Nintendo is confident to think Nintendo Switch could become a mainstream success just like NES and Wii. Let's hope so, it'll be so cool to see people everywhere with their Switch tablet on the bus, on the train, on the streets...
Just imagine, you sit on the bus with someone who is playing Mario Kart 8.5, you could easily start talking with him/her and even ask it if you could play too so he/she just hands you a joycon and you two start playing! Random strangers playing videogames together on the bus! Damn :')
I probably won't buy a Switch until 2018, but I am super excited to see what Nintendo brings on Friday software wise.
I really don't think we are gonna see that many play it outside, especially after the mobile gaming boom. Heck, I could count the people I saw play on the DS or 3DS on one hand here in Scandinavia. And seeing others lend out their stuff? Nope. They'll be afraid you'll run away with their joy-con.

I was a big fan of Platzhalter 3: Scheißenkopf back in the day. Nailed all the challenges except the last one

I just hope the series gets repped in the Smash port.

... lol
I'm not sure if you're serious but either way it's pretty funny.
Did you know that translates to placeholder right?
Yeah, started to think the same. The image doesn't seem very fake to me. Maybe they just added games like DQX cause they're kinda known to come to Switch, but if they actually release here at launch or at all may be another story.
They know.

I don't disagree with you that they need a big launch, but there comes a point where they're burying their own software. There's a reason why Microsoft staggers their fall lineup of first-party games. I'm just saying that we should temper our expectations for what will actually be available on day one.
As for 3DS, that has a pretty solid lineup for 2017. Yoshi and Poochy, Pikmin, Mario Sports, Ever Oasis and Dragon Quest 8 certainly aren't slouches. Those are just the games we know about! Once again, it's always good to temper expectations for new hardware. Zelda at launch will be amazing, but I don't personally think they'll do any better by firing a shotgun blast of big titles on day one.
Very "early Apple" sort of graphic design. Even looks like the Apple Garamond font.

.... It's based on an old NES print ad from the 80s.
I thought that would be well known here?

Some interesting accessories:

Joy cons also double as Wiimotes?

Rumors have pointed out that the right joycon has a IR sensor for a while now.

Its fake as hell.
PEGI 18 rated Monster Hunter?
No PEGI rating for titles that are already PEGI rated elsewhere?
PEGI info for placeholder titles but not the name of the titles themselves?
"NSW NBA" instead of the actual game title - which would be 2K NBA Courtside 2017 or whatever?
Will the title be changed to "Placeholder" for the English localization or do you think they'll keep it true to the original?
It's definitely faulty. I don't believe in a MH Pegi 18 either and some of those release dates, etc. It just seems like a premature list in some Gamestop system that'll be updated come Friday. Who knows.

This looks like an ad from a 90s computer magazine.
Edit: Ah, it basically is. It's a callback to specifically that.
...that's the point.

I assume it's Sonic Mania and the Sonic 2017 game we know little about.

We've discussed at-length the possibility of the default joy-con imitating a Wii-Mote. Our verdict was that they don't have enough inputs to fully copy the Wii-mote/nunchuk setup.
However... I fully expect that the IR sensor can be used to simulate touch input. IE, point it at the TV while docked for a touch-screen game. This setup would suggest that touch-input could be an option, but they may not allow it as the primary form of input. There's also the rumor that the Switch supports Wii-motes through Bluetooth, so it's likely we'll have that option as well as a joycon that more closely mimics a Wii-remote.
I'm pretty sure this has been the rumor for weeks.
I would like to see the SCD on Friday but if the thing is real they should release it in several years to buff up the switch as Sony and Microsoft are doing with PS4 pro or scorpio.
You buy the SCD as an add-on to buff your switch, no need to buy a new console, it could be cool
I took a look at Amazon before posting that and every Wii U and 3DS listing I saw seemed to be 3rd party? Unless I just missed the proper listing somehow. I'd like to be wrong, so I'm not ruling that out.
Nintendo Spain's PR manager just posted this on his Twitter, and I think it's amazing. Not sure if it's his creation, but whatever.
This looks so good!
It's a throwback of an early NES ad:
Holy shit this is brilliant!

Could've added the N64 (1996) on there.
