Only splatoon, mario and xenoblade 2 for me for the rest of the year.

 

[Fireblend]

Where is Stardew Valley, come to think of it...They made an announcement for it coming to Switch and havent said a thing since.

The last tweet from the devs the week before E3 said development is progressing well. I just wish we had a release date.

Also, for first party stuff Im buying pretty much everything lol. The only big one I'm skipping is ARMS.

 

[Riposte]

It's a fairly weak line-up, but that's to be expected. I've reorganized OP's list, removed DLC and MHXX since that's not coming west.

New Exclusives (DX is a borderline expansion)
Arms - June 16
Splatoon 2 - July 21
Rabbids x. Mario: Kingdom Battle - August 29
Fire Emblem Warriors - Fall
Pokken DX - September 22
Super Mario Odyssey - October 27
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - Holiday

Multiplats
Sonic Mania - August 15
NBA 2K8 - September 19
FIFA '18 - September 29
Sonic Forces - Holiday

Ports of old games (>1year)
Cave Story + - June 20
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 - Fall
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Holiday
Rocket League - Holiday
Rayman Legends: Defintive Edition - Holiday
Payday 2 - Holiday

I bought and enjoyed a Wii U with less, but it's a little disappointing in terms of E3 improving things. Props to the 3DS still killing it though.

 

[MartyStu]

This lineup IS pretty anemic, but I have faith that this will improve next year. Nintendo alone can vastly improve things by porting some of the Wii U's library over.

Things I am definitely getting:

Splatoon 2
Kingdom Battle

Games I MAY get depending on quality:

Mario Odyssey
Xenoblade 2
Zelda DLC

Ports I hope to see soon:

#FE port
Kerfuffle port

Games I would KILL to have access to, but never will...

Wario Land: Shake It
Metroid Prime 3

Imagine Luigi's Mansion on Switch using the joycons and that HD rumble!

I got mine at launch as even though I only care for a minority of those games, it's still more than enough to justify it as a third platform. No way I could ever make it or any Nintendo platform in recent years my only or main platform, but as long as I get 5ish retail games a year I want to play on it owning the platform is justified. Add in that I prefer playing most indies (at least the retroish ones) on a portable, and it's even easier.

So far I have Zelda (and DLC pass), Puyo Puyo Tetris, MK8 Deluxe, Arms, Shovel Knight Treasure Trove, Blaster Master Zero, Binding of Issac Afterbirth+ and Kamiko.

I'm definitely getting Mario Odyssee, so that's at least 5 retail games first year. I'll probably skip Splatoon 2 as I'm just not into MP shooters anymore, got burnt out on the first, have barely played Overwatch etc. Fire Emblem Warriors is a maybe as I enjoyed Hyrule Warriors--but I'm not big into FE and what I saw from E3 didn't sell me on it at all. The rest doesn't appeal to me, which is fine as plenty I want to play later in the year on PS4/PC.

 

[MetalliCabombination]

Will buy = odyssey, xenoblade
Want = xeno x, bayonetta

Barebones as hell for me.
4 games in its first year and 2 of them are also on wii u

 

[family_guy]

It's a decent lineup for a first year although Mario Odyssey is the only thing that really interests me.

 

[ramparter]

Games I'm buying:

Super Mario Odyssey - Fucking day 1
Mario + Rabbids - maybe day 1
Splatoon - probably day 1
Arms - as soon as I find it cheaper than 40 eur - second hand ?

That would be more than enough for now!

 

[klier]

There are two games that I am interested in for the rest of the year, I don't count the Zelda DLC.

Same here. Zelda DLC is of course a given, and the others are Rabbids and Odyssey

 

[Big Green Anus]

Regarding Skyrim for Switch, does it have mods similar to PS4?

 

[13ruce]

For Switch this year: Xenoblade 2, Skyrim (third time lmao), Mario, Splatoon, Sonic Forces & Mania, Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, Stardew Valley, Terraria (whenever that comes).

For 3DS these will be my last 3 games: Super Star Sage Remake, Metroid 2 Samus Returns and Pokemon Ultra Sun (owned Moon so lets vhange things up).

For PS4 i will only get AC Origins and buy Wolfenstein, The Evil Within 2 (and 1), Dishonered 2 DLC and Uncharted in a sale later.

I already own Zelda, Mario Kart Deluxe, Arms and Lego City on Switch + these indie games: FAST RMX, Shovel Knight, Minecraft (indie not anymore) and Shock Troopers + Metal Slug 3. And that 5 dollar chinese lil action game.
Still need to get Disgea 5 tho is was sold out and i need to wait till it's in stock again order is still up

My opinion so far i am really enjoying the Switch so far since arms is out i play daily now. Will even play more when Splatoon 2 is out, normally my Nintendo machines collect dust inbetween games so i am happy with the lineup this year.

 

[chronomac]

You're missing a few, small and large, like Bulb Boy, Oceanhorn, Minecraft Story Mode, Redout, Enter the Gungeon, and Stardew Valley, just to name a few (I'm going to go ahead and link to my schedule here because I have no shame). I know you've thrown these under the "indie" label but a lot of these are worth your time. There are also a ton of Neo Geo releases, and those are hitting once per week.

I think it's a pretty robust line-up, at least for Nintendo's standards. Mario, Mario + Rabbids, Splatoon 2, and a bunch of small and large games to fill out the year. And this is just year one, mind you.

Regarding Skyrim for Switch, does it have mods similar to PS4?

I'd say it's extremely unlikely, but it hasn't been officially confirmed. Does it even have a release date? Why aren't they telling us anything about this game?

 

[SmokedMeat]

Mario is a definite.
Interested in Arms and maybe Splatoon.
Skyrim - When it hits the bargain bin
Sonic Mania - Getting for my wife

I don't think anything else really interests me.

- Indie games I'll continue buying on PC.
- The big AAA games that excite me most are absent on Switch.

 

[Lelou]

Arms day // 1
Splatoon 2 going to take, depending by the differences from the wiiu game

Rabbids x. Mario: Kingdom Battle // day 1
Fire Emblem Warriors // day 1
Super Mario Odyssey // day 1
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 // day 1

Is a nice year, but could be better..

 

[Ponn]

I was just thinking about this today, what the hell happened with the US release of DQ Heroes 1+2?

 

[kizmah]

What's going on with Stardew Valley?
