In case some of you have not noticed, this press release confirmed funds from previous Eshops will transfer over to Switch.

Having more new stuff at launch is nice. I'm looking forward to playing Fast RMX and Specter of Torment.
No vc is unfortunate, but I can wait to replay older games so it's no biggie to me.
Having this confirmed is nice as well. I wonder if we'll finally be able to pay for stuff using paypal at some point..

I assume it would be mentioned here on top of the indie stuff but I guess, as it's only talking about Indie stuff and not 1st party titles, it could be there on day one. I just think that's weird not to mention it here.

Specter of Torment is the latest add on, Treasure Trove is the hub for the previously released versions and the new one, which can be purchased individually.

>Virtual Console games will not be available on Nintendo Switch at launch. We will share more information in the future.
Hahahahahahaha. God Nintendo is just the worst.

Worst news. Maybe they aren't including that here because it's not an indie game? Holding out hopeNo Snipperclips at launch
Whoa on the Shovel Knight timed exclusivity -- the expansion has been hyped for months and bam, timed Switch exclusive! This bolsters the launch a bit.
As far as I know Snipperclips was never confirmed as a launch game, and is coming later in March. Nintendo is trying out the staggered release schedule so they technically have *something* to offer every month of the year instead of blowing it all at once.

Do you honestly care about SNES games when you buy a new console?
I've already got Shovel Knight on the Wii U, you know you want to give me a discount on the Switch version Nintnedo....
...aww who am I kidding. Totally going to be full price. No games will transfer. I'll buy Shovel Knight again because it's awesome and Yacht Club deserves the money.
That sucks about Virtual Console, but I also just kind of expect them to do the same damn rollout they've always done with it with things like Urban Champion and Balloon Fight being the only games available at launch and then slowly trickling out games people actually want to buy again every 4 months or so.

I don't have shovel knight. Been a game i wanted to buy for a while but just haven't got round too. There is more of us than you think
Good to see Fast RMX at launch. Looks tasty.
Nobody really expected this seeing as neither Wii U or 3DS launched with VC. Also, I I guess Sony really are the worst as well for not launching the PS4 with PS1/PS2/PS3 software.

I'm getting both of these, but no VC? Many missing features at launch, it's really seeming like this system isn't ready to release.

Man if VC is gonna be a shitshow again.....

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
No VC? Expected.
Fast RMX? Unexpected. In.
Because most recent consoles did not have anything similar at launch, either? Nobody should be surprised at this.

I do actually. there are quite a few that I'd like to replay on a portable with a good screen. But it can wait.

Not really, but I'd be super down with a couple of portable Wii/N64 games at launch.
No too fussed about Virtual games not being their at launch as I will be too busy with Zelda.
Yeah, that's disappointing hopefully we don't have to wait long to play it.
It's because Nintendo helped out Yatch Club.
Not at the moment but could be possible later down the line.
Kinda, as I need me Donkey Kong Country series.

Yeah, I was more referring to the fact that it is not there at launch, not that it's not there at all.
I wondered for a while if VC wouldn't be available for strategic reasons as to get people to purchase new releases, especially 3rd party offerings rather than having people buy older games and having to address the importing of people's Wii U or 3DS VC games.
Great news on Shovel Knight and Fast RMX though. Might get both.

Fast RMX and Shovel Knight and its newest expansion being out at launch is nice news.
VC news about it not being out at launch is not surprising at all to me and it sucks, but I'll deal.
The Nindies Showcase is great, could see some indie announcements and more news on confirmed titles.

I don't get why Snipperclips has to be at launch. I don't want it at launch. I want it to get its own week so it can get the sales it deserves.

Not all that surprising, seeing as we've heard nothing about it one week out.
As long as it's not terribly far behind, it should be fine.

You're forgetting that they are adding online features to VC games. I'm sure they want to do a big VC relaunch rather than push it out as standard like they did before. Its not going to be the VC as Wii U and 3DS.

The SNES stuff, meh.
But portable DKC Returns Wii, portable Mario Kart Wii/64, hell, maybe even portable Xenoblade Chronicles? That would've been awesome to have at launch.

I am hoping for Sega master system, game gear, Sega genesis, Sega cd 32x, Saturn and dreamcast games.
I definitely want Nintendo to explain what's going on with VC before the system launches, but I don't care that VC ready at launch. It makes more sense to roll it out when there's a lull in games coming out.
More interested in the indie games coming.
Treasure Trove is one game with all the free DLC (and future DLC).
Specter of Torment is the Specter Knight DLC as a standalone game.

Do I have to rebuy Shovel Knight if I own the Wii U edition? I probably won't bother if so, the second campaign add-on wasn't for me.
