Do people not know what VC is? It's old games. Has literally nothing to do with new downloadable titles.
Yeah, was thinking that may actually be the strategy here.
Chance are, pre-orders have been strong enough between system and Zelda sales to make it an easy choice, but bear in mind the core audience (us) will likely be keeping an eye on that d-pad issue (sans Pro Controller) when it comes to VC games.
If Nintendo picks out a dry month where game launches are slow, the company can make a big deal of VC games hitting Switch to bolster the month, AND potentially a VC Joycon with d-pad at the same time. That way the VC Joycon gets fanfare with games to take advantage of it at the same time, giving it a launch boost for sales.
The no VC kinda stinks since I was hoping for I am Setsuna at lanch along with Zelda.

Wait, FAST RMX AND SHOVELKNIGHT are March 3rd releases?!
Never underestimate stupidity.

I knew it! That hole is for ventilation!
Also shame on no virtual console at launch, though I guess understandable. Just hope it doesn't take long to add the stuff they already ported to previous systems... Oh of course it will.
Missed it, but i read it now and that was a great post. I agree with what you said, in fact i think i'm gonna replay the game this year. Still hope that Nintendo will remaster it for Switch, JoyCon controllers are perfect for it.Gotcha, thanks. Yeah, as far as I understand it, that does not make sense to me either.
Also, Rodin, always glad to see you fighting the good fight for the underdog that is Skyward Sword. I don't know if you ever saw my LTTP but I was so happy that I have the game a second chance. http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=894926
Really happy at that I already own both on Wii U but I'll still grab FAST and maybe Shovel Knight. Something else to play beside Zelda!
Ahah, to be fair Nintendo's branding can get confusing on these. I remember seeing many youtube reviews of labelling WiiWare games as Virtual Console and vice versa.
Kind of amazing. A single tweet and a thread that was building hype for previews goes depressing and negative.
I don't think soDid anybody prepare a topic for the previews?
no vc at launch? da hell
Thin launch lineup and cant even play old stuff.
Come on son/
It's just more evidence of Switch being rushed out the door for spring. Seemingly nothing is ready for this console but Zelda and some indies. A lot is riding on Zelda.

Throughly baffling that people care so much about VC being there at launch given the sorry state it's been in the entire time it has existed. Also it's strange considering the fact that the competition didn't have this shit ready at launch.
Switch is a Zelda machine at launch, not expecting anything else anymore at this point.
Well, to be fair, neither could PS4.

It's one of the finest 2D platformers I have played to date. No clue how co-op is though so you may wanna look up some footage of thatI've never touched or seen much of shovel knight but if it's coop my girlfriend will like it. Is it worth getting?
Yup.Switch is a Zelda machine at launch, not expecting anything else anymore at this point.

Hallelujah!
What kind of coverage are we actually expecting today?

Hardware previews. So not a ton. Just impressions and videos of people playing the thing. Maybe previews of some of the launch games besides Zelda?

And yet, people are still believing that there're first party game in development in secret.
Like PS4 was at launch? And in the case of old stuff, still is?
*Hugs Persona 5 player*

Actually on a profit level I believe Ps3 tanked Sonys financials far worse than wii u did to nintendoI know you're joking but the PS3 wasn't a colossal failure unlike the Wii U.
