Curious about this too. I'd actually double dip on Setsuna if the Switch got a physical english release.

Wait, the No More Heroes game is launch? That's better, but where are the titles everyone thought were a lock? Where's Capcom? Ubi? Namco (Xenoverse was a surprise, but Tekken 7 was what most were expecting).
Edit: Lol, definitely not the No More Heroes game.
Edit2: Wait, so Fifa and the NBA game aren't going to be there at launch? Does that mean it'll be getting the new versions at holiday? Odd

Maybe it's because I'm tired, or just worn out from the absurdity of tonight's presentation, but I'm finding the name "Snipperclips" absolutely hilarious for some reason.
I'll get Zelda for sure. Might pick up Disgaea 5 down the line. How was I Am Setsuna? I remember thinking that it looked pretty.

Do the general public even buy systems at launch?

It's ok, nobody bought Wii U so they are safe (well, I bought it, you bought it and like 20 more people on GAF).

Wait, really? Even the N64 which only had Mario 64 and Pilot Wings 64 at launch?
You'd have thought a version of Mario Sports Superstars would have been the obvious choice.
Mediocre. This isn't going to build up currency before the droughts start hitting. Good luck, Nintendo.
Yeah, I'm just referring to the launch lineup. Beyond that, I'm optimistic about Switch, with SMT, Xenoblade, that new Square Enix pixel art JRPG with the terrible name, etc.

Well, now we know why they pushed Zelda back to Switch launch, they don't have crap else to offer.

4chan is more reliable than GAF these days. Strange world we live in.
What a terrible show of faith for fans and Wii U owners, though.
Except he has a system that already plays Zelda so what's the fucking point of dropping $300 for one game when his current system will play it just fine

Seriously. If Zelda wasn't there, this would be a disaster. No wonder they pushed Zelda back to 2017.
I'm sure MK8 Deluxe is in April because Nintendo doesn't have other first party games to release in between launch and E3.
Also where the hell was the Smash 4 port?!

A day one brand new HD Zelda seals the deal, but...
Yeah. Nothing else I'm remotely interested in. Doesn't feel like they've quite grasped the change in market from the Wii days, and this is a straight up make or break window of opportunity.
Although, with a day one brand new HD Zelda, hopefully nobody will notice.

The general public aren't buying this in big numbers until Holiday 2017 anyway, when there will be a broader library, apparently including FIFA, ready to go.
Zelda has never been a massive seller, not like Mario Kart or 2D Mario, this launch is very much aimed at the early-adopter market.

1 2 Switch: Step 1, buy Zelda instead, step 2, don't look back.

If it wasn't for Zelda I would have waited.
1 2 Switch needed to be a pack-in

That is...sparse. No mainstream sports games, no Overwatch, no Doom, no Minecraft, no MonHun, no mobile ports...pretty much nothing to make people think this isn't Wii U 2.
NFS Carbon, SMB, Marvel UA, Madden 07, DBZ, COD3, are probably all better than every game that isn't BOTW or Disagea in the Switch lineup.

That'd be comparable if Mario 64 was going to be feature complete on the SNES in a few months anyways. Switch is getting a timed exclusive who's only breakaway feature on the new hardware is that you can play it for 3 hours on the go. Yay?

That's... Bad. Really bad. 1 2 Switch should REALLY be bundled as it looks great fun, but not full price fun(though price not confirmed?) Bomberman is cool, but not something to launch with and Zelda looks amazing, but if not much different from.Wii U version, I'm not sure...
So excited for that presentation and felt like we're left with more questions than ever.

Where on the official site did you see this list? Most media outlets are reporting this as the launch line up
LAUNCH DAY
1-2-Switch
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Skylanders Imaginators
Just Dance 2017
I just realized they're not doing a pack-in game at launch. That's...definitely weird. They haven't done that in a while, have they?
For me, I'll be getting 12S and BotW for sure, Bomberman and Rayman are both likely yes, and:
- Has Been Heroes
- Snipperclips
- Disgaea 5 Complete
- Puyo Puyo Tetris
- Steep
- I Am Setsuna
are all strong maybes, depending on price. I have a feeling I'm gonna be spending roughly $600 at launch as is, and god knows it's gonna be tough saving that money to begin with.

Definitely getting Zelda day one, curious about Has Been Heroes as well.

I've been saying this since the rumor of it coming to NX. Nintendo is not confident in their launch line up so they need to resort to this.
This whole thing is sad to me.
Not just the sparse launch lineup, but the fact that *this* is the portable Disgaea 5 essentially confirms that it will never be on Vita.
Now, for everyone comparing this lineup to the sparse launch lineups on XB1 or PS4, let me ask you: what were those consoles up against? The answers consist of Wii U, each other, and their 8- and 7-year-old predecessors, respectively.
You can't simply compare the launch lineups and say "this is fine" because we have to compare THIS lineup with its competition as of RIGHT NOW.
This is not fine.

PS4 and XB1 also had BF4, CoD: Ghosts, Madden 25, NBA 2k14, FIFA 14, AC: Black Flag and Lego Marvel off the top of my head. Also PS4 had Killzone and Knack. XB1 also had Killer Instinct and Forza 5. Those were pretty good launch titles.
Yep. This is how things work for Nintendo. Goddamn 3DS is $200 right now and basically sold out even though Nintendo providing "some amount" of shipments.
Good point, but even the early-adopter market might not be too enthused about this lineup. We'll see though. I'm holding out hope that this'll still be a great console, but my faith is certainly wavering.
Zelda and Arms look good, everything else is not for me. Surprisingly weak first-party software.
Without strong third-party support, they're going to be launching a new platform that already looks like it will have a software drought. I don't remember which insider/leaker it was that claimed the unification of their portable + console operations would result in significantly more first-year software. Clearly, there was little truth in their information.

Some people bought a PS4 at launch because of Resogun.
The PS4 was a generational leap in power, the Switch isn't. Long-term third party support for PS4 was guaranteed, for Switch it isn't.
Hell, BF4 was the game that had me buying a PS4 at launch (even if it did turn out broken at first). It was a way better experience on PS4 vs PS3. 32 or 64 player matches is a huge difference. The game looked and ran far better, too.

I'm completely okay with Zelda, Bomberman, and Puyopuyo. Mario Kart next month, I like it.
Just Zelda for me. Maybe Bomberman, too. I wonder when we'll hear about Virtual Console stuff?
That game saved the PS4 launch for me, honestly. Such an amazing game.
