Support NeoGAF

[Tye The Czar]

I was impressed.
Yeah. Pretty Impressed.

 

[Seven Force]

Nice list, though it remains to be seen what support will drop like a rock a few years in.

Hopefully it's more like 3DS and less like Wii U in those regards.

 

[ultrazilla]

My big surprises: Take 2 Interactive(WHO HAVE ROCKSTAR UNDER THEM) so everyone saying "Rockstar" isn't on board is WRONG. Take 2 publishes all their games. I fully expect Red Dead 2 to be announced for NX. They also handle Gearbox offerings so there's a chance we'll get Gearbox offerings as well.

Also: EA...nice to see EA on board again. Bethesda(DOOM! Fallout! Skyrim!)

Activision. Capcom. Some really nice, big heavy hitters.

System looks killer.

 

[CorporateClown]

At least we can safely say this should sell better than Wii U, so third parties might actually not be on the fence when it comes to making games for it...

Can we?
I could see this doing amazing in Japan, but Ps4 and XB1 already have big install bases so a bunch of ports won't move the needle. And we saw with Wii U that the nintendo-only audience isn't enough to make a console a success.

 

[Nzyme32]

No Rockstar, I knew it.

Yea I was looking for that too but this list is still impressive.

They are technically - Take Two own Rockstar and 2K

 

[jroc74]

No Rockstar, I knew it.

Yea I was looking for that too but this list is still impressive. And Take Two so there's still a chance.

Seeing Skyrim being played and From on the list above...

Madness.

 

[Neiteio]

From Software is the real megaton here.

If this means Dark Souls on the go...

 

[13ruce]

Epic list this is gonna be a great ride what a great looking console this is.

 

[JoeM86]

yes and?

It has a normal controller but it still needs to work with the portable side ones as well.

I seriously suggest you watch the trailer and actually read up on this device before making such assertions.

 

[Morfeo]

I know most of these publishers will be gone again before the launch, but got to say that im still happy to see they at least shows up by now

 

[randomengine]

Look at the tone of the trailer and the people playing the system.

Childish Nintendo is dead.

This is aimed at college kids and young adults.

Mature Nintendo.

 

[Zedark]

Man, those are some great partnerships! Bethesda, Square Enix, From Software, just all-round amazing games to be able to play on the go!

 

[trixx]

ehh maybe once I see the games

Console may be underpowered so how do we know these partnerships would last longer than a year?

 

[runnin_blue]

Well...people have been begging for a portable Skyrim since forever.

I'm pleasantly surprised to see NBA 2K. Playing sports games that are transferrable at home and on the go is a god tier dream.

 

[Conan-san]

Oh boy! I can't wait for all of these guys to turn coat and run back off to the half-cocked computers again! That sure was fun the last time!

 

[Mediking]

Still crying. Somebody hold me.

 

[Atrophis]

From Software is the real megaton. If Nintendo have half a brain they will be funding an exclusive from them as well as getting Dark Souls.

 

[Dommel]

Please please please Capcom, announce Monster Hunter NX for 2017.

Don't make me wait 2+ years to play glorious Monster Hunter in glorious HD -and- on the go.

 

[Maedhros]

These lists doesn't really mean nothing.

I know that from Vita days.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Just show me monster hunter. Pleaseee

 

[CronoShot]

From Software is the real megaton. If Nintendo have half a brain they will be funding an exclusive from them as well as getting Dark Souls.

M E T R O I D

 

[Camwi]

How is From Software not in the thread title?!

 

[Doc Holliday]

I like my crow well done please.

Mind blown, this announcement destroys what they did with the Wii U

 

[Etzer]

I'm optimistic, but this means nothing. The 3DS announcement had a similar image shown. The Vita too, iirc.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Microsoft need to get Minecraft on this thing for launch

 

[Jay Sosa]

How is From Software not in the thread title?!

Yep. Lost Kingdoms 3 ftw.

Spoiler

I would actually prefer that over another Souls game.

 

[SomTervo]

No Rockstar, I knew it.

Take-Two Interactive Inc

 

[cm osi]

it's easy to be onboard with the free ticket, but when they call you to row i wanna see how many are gonna do it

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Not falling for it. The switch being mobile is going to be a hurdle for AAA developers since it will not have the power nor full control scheme.

With game release now, prepare for dodgy ports

Sad thing is... I'm half expecting this.

 

[Shirke]

The Japanese dev list looks pretty good, Arc Sys, Square Enix, Platinum, From Soft to name a few, and I can expect a few to stick to the system till the end.

 

[Pandora012]

Yeah won't get too excited. Also, just because from software is there doesn't mean it's a Souls game.

Can't be optimistic because of how the WiiU turned out. Though this has added portability, so at least it will get games I like on the 3ds.

 

[The Lamonster]

dat Activision

(Blizzard/Bungie hype)

 

[ebullientprism]

Not falling for it. The switch being mobile is going to be a hurdle for AAA developers since it will not have the power nor full control scheme.

With game release now, prepare for dodgy ports

Chances are its mostly gonna be PS360 ports. I doubt it will get any serious current gen support. Maybe indie stuff.

 

[RoKKeR]

We'll see how long it lasts. As before, the biggest plus for this console is Nintendo and it's developers, and them all focusing on one machine is pretty huge.

 

[MagiusNecros]

M E T R O I D

I'd love a Metroid game from FROM.

 

[MrT-Tar]

If I'm going to play Souls on my morning commute, I'm going to need some method of pausing the game, even if it's via a 'home' button

 

[AniHawk]

How is From Software not in the thread title?!

they're not as big as the other ones.

 

[YuriLowell]

Give me Fire Emblem on my TV.

 

[Miroku129]

Persona 3 FES Switch Edition plisssss

 

[Ultimadrago]

Until there are results and consistency to show for it, this splash list means little.

 

[Kresnik258]

Nippon Ichi is the most exciting one there for me. If that's where the Japanese third parties are shifting...

 

[SaniOYOYOY]

Capcom please Megaman Battle Network spiritual successor

Spoiler

not Star Force

Really liking the sound of portable souls game

 

[MarkusRJR]

Yo if I can get portable Skyrim, Persona 5, and FFXV I will buy day one. Imagine playing those games comfortably in bed and on vacation.

 

[Easy_D]

I'd love a Metroid game from FROM.

The universe was hinting at this all along.

Team Ninja made a Metroid game, are now making a game inspired by Souls. From made the Souls games, clearly they'd be next in line to make a Metroid.

 

[Maedre]

Souls on the go? I'm in.

 

[ilium]

Glad I haven't made the jump to current Gen yet. The potentional for Souls, Monster Hunter, Zelda, Pokémon, Elder Scrolls and Dragon Quest on one console is a dream come true! And portable!

Hope we get some Infos on what's being ported soon

 

[Ashler]

I have many concerns regarding the power the console can have both docked and on the go, before I get hyped for this.

Hope Nintendo does a proper presentation soon.

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

The next countdown: The reveal of Monster Hunter 5 on NX.

In my veins.

 

[JCX]

From reboot Lost Kingdoms please!

 

[Bitch Pudding]

While this list of partners is awesome, I am a little (!) down because Rockstar isn't amongst them. Playing a proper GTA or RDR2 during commuting is a dream not coming true, for now at least.
