Nintendo Switch | North American Releases (Digital, Physical)
- Thread starter chronomac
- Start date
Yeah of course there's a chance.
I imagine we'll get either a port or some lower scale game to help fill out the holiday season, if not something larger.

What a strange thread. Are there equivalent threads for other platforms?

I can see this if there's not much of a group/people to play with.
Yep, pretty much. Even the online is kinda worthless without an invite or messaging system.
Ah I see

I have yet bought Has-Been Heroes, and Thumper is coming out tomorrow...
Too much games.
Too much games.
Ya, that makes sense. Here at uni its basically never put away between a large group of people. But if you have no one to play with and just online, its a bit of an empty package if you've already played it heavily in the past or just aren't a big MK fan.

I have all the NA physical releases except for Skylanders, including Has-Been Heroes and Japanese Setsuna. I am already swamped by the number of games and that doesn't even touch the digital releases.

Nothing for me until Mario. Hope Nintendo announce a bunch of things for this year at E3.
Edit: Actually, I'll get Sonic Mania on Switch.

That PS4 launch list tho...
yuck
Anyway, there's about 14-17 games on this list I'd get IF I COULD FIND A DAMN SWITCH.

I have the feeling there is a massive audience of single-player only gamers here on GAF, going by the disinterest in local co-op on switch and unawareness of online co-op games made by Ubisoft.
The major GAF demographic appears to be single player games and online-competitive games. Single people playing by themselves or online against other single people.
Count me in the group who is a husband and parent and loves couch co-op games I can play with my wife and son. Switch is definitely the platform for me.

Since the Switch launched I have only been buying Switch and 3DS games. My wife bought and still hasn't played Andromeda.
I have almost all the physical releases and only 1 digital release (Jackbox to play in groups). I am overwhelmed by the amount of games already as I want all the NEOGEO releases and the indie games on the system look awesome.
I tried the demo for Blaster Master Zero and was very pleased with it. I am very interested in Thumper this week and am waiting for Minecraft to be released physically.

It really puts in perspective how shitty the launch lineup for these hardware were.

I keep slowly building up my Switch library... and yet all I do is play PPT. What a game!
Excited to finally try Thumper too.
I keep playing Binding of Isaac.....almost every day. When that is your go-to game, you develop a backlog extremely quickly.
Can't wait for my Switch to arrive from Amazon UK, hopefully in early June. Of the games that have been released, I'll be getting Zelda, Mario Kart, Fast RMX (it looks cool, though I don't know if it's worth it now that MK8 is out), Voez (haven't played the mobile version, but I liked Cytus from the same dev) and Puyo Puyo Tetris.
How's Snipperclips in single player? And is Blaster Master Zero enjoyable if I never played the original version?

Life circumstances mean my Switch is my primary. I've pretty much put down Persona 5 since I haven't had time to sit down at my PS4, and if I do I prefer to play my PC and have my Switch up on my stand on the side.

Blaster Master Zero definitely has the nostalgia factor. If you like the era of video games that the original harkens from, you will definitely enjoy this one. If you are more accustomed to modern indie games, you might not.
Though, there are people who love xeodrifter and I hated that game, but thought this was very enjoyable.
I think I could get by with only Switch if it had VC. As it is it's not enough yet though.

That's my fear with Persona 5. If I break down and get it, would I even have the focus to enjoy it. Pick-up-and-play games that thrive on Switch definitely fit my lifestyle much more.
Perception is an odd thing.
I already have 6 physical and 2 digital games for the switch and it's more than I have time for.
I saw this list and went "Yikes, better start saving money, I didn't realize there were so many announced games"
Then I read the comments and it seems many people perceive this as "no games". For those that is it not enough, I kind of envy you. I can't get more than an hour or 2 of gaming in a day (sometimes a week) so I already have a "pile of shame" growing. And for those who see nothing of interest for you on the list, I guess I must have different tastes than most, there is a lot of appealing stuff for me.
But yeah, if you don't like this list, sell that switch while you can still get pretty much your entire value back. There are a lot of people looking for them who, like me, are interested in a lot of the software. Get those back in the market.

Those are all for upcoming game releases.
A decent chunk of the opening post here are games that are already released.
I think it's a matter of what else is available to the player.
If the Switch was the only thing I had to play videogames on I would definitely have more than enough on the Switch to sustain me.
But as someone with a bunch of Wii U and 3DS games left to play, the software on the Switch isn't super compelling. The only real must-have thusfar is Zelda. Games like Graceful Explosion Machine and Snake Pass are great in a vacuum, but when I already have (arguably more interesting) games to play, they suddenly don't seem as appealing.

I have a decent-ish PC and my 3DS, but I sold my Xbox One a while ago. So...sorta?
Not really a fan of those types of NES games, so I guess I'll pass. Thanks for the answer!
Maybe I'll pick up Cave Story instead, despite already owning it on Wii and Steam (played it on Wii, it's great).
I've gotten a good ways into Persona 5, but the pace of it definitely wore me down. If it was portable I probably would have finished it already, but it's just hard to gear up for a session of P5 in front of the TV right now.

Aside from the PS4 thread, the other two were active long after the listed games were released, so they served the same purpose.
That being said, I'm not sure I understand the distinction you're trying to make. It's hard to see why this thread is strange because it wasn't made two months ago.

To be fair, it's a port. I put like 70 hours into that game on the Wii U. It's not all that suprising if he double dipped like a lot of people did.

You forgot Harvest Moon: Light of Hope.
Or I might be really blind and just don't see it!
I really really love my Switch. I still haven't played it with anyone else but it's been such a great system.

For physical, I have BoI, Zelda, MK8D and 1 2 Switch. I want to add Has-Been Heroes into the library, but given that I only have 1 hour to play games on weekday, I was already overwhelmed by games.
And eShop has tons of games that interest me...
Based on his repeated post history, he's looking for an excuse to point at everyone trying to play up the Switch's library so he can call out how thin it is and how it has no games and collects dust for him. Nothing new and pretty easy to see right through.

The Switch library is far from thin, especially considering it's only been on the market for a little over two months and is following up a console that crashed and burned practically from day one.
Just because there's not a whole lot I'm interested in doesn't mean that the same applies for everyone.

Yes. And you actually get more for buying digital than retail.

I really hope the switch version of 2k isn't a shit show.
All i wanted on the vita is a good 2k port, this is my 2nd chance.

Added GoNNER to June 1. It's only been announced for the UK but it's safe to assume it'll hit NA that same day. I'll change it if I see something different.

Any chance any rewards get added/changed this month? I've got 600 Platinum coins expiring on the 31st and I want none of this shit, lmao.
EDIT: Shit, wrong thread. Sorry.

Both are really good ideas. I'll try and implement them shortly.
Anyone know if there's a way to change the font color? Guessing not but wanted to ask anyway.
