[NotLiquid]

Bomberman and Zelda day one.

 

[shwimpy]

Zelda only I guess.

 

[jblank83]

Has Been Heroes is the No More Heroes sequel?

 

[BitStyle]

Bomberman and Zelda day one.

Same

 

[xRaizen]

Christ

 

[Stumpokapow]

sorry is this the north american LAUNCH lineup or the north american lineup?

 

[idwl]

So just Zelda for me I guess.

 

[BassForever]

Zelda, Bomberman, Puyo Puyo, and Setsuna for me

 

[Dominator]

Just Zelda for me.

I'm kind of in disbelief. I usually get 5+ launch games per every system, but theres nothing else I want here that I can't get elsewhere.

 

[RootCause]

Man that's bad. Zelda, and Has been heroes.

 

[rec0ded1]

I thought the wii u lineup was bad and still got it day one but this is a whole other level.

 

[Zero148]

Was Steep already known?

 

[Sadist]

Zelda day one.

And I guess Disgea 5.

Whats Has Been Heroes and Snipperclips?

 

[Briarios]

Is that the worst launch line up ever? No, seriously ... that's really dismal.

 

[GhostBed]

Damn. Pretty disappointed.

Was really convinced this thing would be day one for me but now I just don't know. Might wait until splatoon 2 is out.

 

[jblank83]

sorry is this the north american LAUNCH lineup or the north american lineup?

You mean launch day versus the 3 month launch window?

Good question, if so

 

[yoplay]

smh

 

[wenis]

Is this launch?

 

[CronoShot]

Zelda, and probably Rayman since I never got around to playing it before.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Seven games I'm interested in, but ehhhh for the mass market.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

sorry is this the north american LAUNCH lineup or the north american lineup?

hell it might be both

 

[Realeza]

Without BOTW is the worst line up ever, but Zelda will be GOAT so it balances out.

 

[Majine]

Has Been Heroes? Is that the No More Heroes sequel lol?

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

From the official Switch site like the Japanese one earlier:
- 1, 2 Switch (Casual Wii Sports but not free)
- The Legend of Zelda: BotW (AMAZING but on WiiU at the same time)
- Just Dance 2017 (who cares)
- Has Been Heroes (who cares)
- Snipperclips (what is this)
- Super Bomberman R (Casual market don't care)
- Disgaea 5 Complete (cool, but casual market don't care)
- Puyo Puyo Tetris (same launch garbage we've been getting for 20 years)
- Rayman Legends (available, readily, for $10-$15 for last year on other systems)
- Steep (lol)
- Skylanders: Imaginators (great for kids that are still into this dying franchise)
- I Am Setsuna ($15 on PC, right?)

That's an ABYSMAL launch lineup.

I'd argue every single other Nintendo system has had a better launch.

 

[Torokil]

It's not terrible (go look at PS4/Xbone launches and tell me its better), but they really should've bumped Mario Kart to launch.

 

[shingi70]

Zelda
1 2 Switch
I am sestuna

 

[Lingitiz]

Is that the worst launch line up ever? No, seriously ... that's really dismal.

You can't be serious, right? Almost every launch since the Wii has not even had a killer app. Yeah this isn't great but it has Zelda and that's far more than any launch has had in a very long time.

PS4 had jack shit to buy with launch. Resogun was basically the best game on it for months. Xbox One had Dead Rising 3 and Ryse. Hardly anything to get excited about.

 

[Jonboy]

I actually feel kinda bad for them.

What an abysmal launch lineup.

 

[Eliseo]

Zelda, disgaea 5, puyo puyo, bomberman and I'm setsuna will do the work.

 

[AntMurda]

I thought ARMS was launch??

 

[kewlmyc]

Has Been Heroes is the No More Heroes sequel?

Doubt it.

Other than Zelda, this is pretty barren.

 

[LordKano]

I know that for people that wanted more games this is disappointment.

But come on now. The Wii U ? It had fucking nothing. This is way better than the Wii U.

 

[SporeCrawler]

No skyrim?

 

[Asd202]

Now compare this to Feb/March PS4 and Xbox One lineup.

 

[KingSnake]

Was Steep already known?

No. Actually it was rumoured to be cancelled because it flopped on the other consoles.

Which makes you wonder, why did Ubisoft missed from the conference?

 

[Mysterious]

LOL

 

[brandonh83]

Getting possibly one of the greatest games ever made right on launch day isn't entirely a terrible proposition for me.

 

[Menitta]

On the thin side. I'm still really excited for the Switch, but I'm not gonna get one at launch.

 

[The Last One]

The only game I'm interested in is Zelda. And I can just buy it on WiiU.

 

[GitarooMan]

Steep makes sense but Rayman Legends after all this time? Wow.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

I wanted to buy Pokemon Stars and the Rabbids rpg tho, I guess I will wait

 

[Alienous]

Is that even the launch line-up?

 

[DNAbro]

From the official Switch site like the Japanese one earlier:
- 1, 2 Switch
- The Legend of Zelda: BotW
- Just Dance 2017
- Has Been Heroes
- Snipperclips
- Super Bomberman R
- Disgaea 5 Complete
- Puyo Puyo Tetris
- Rayman Legends
- Steep
- Skylanders: Imaginators
- I Am Setsuna

this isn't right? I saw Disgaea 5 for Spring.

 

[JAYinHD]

Looks like I'll only be buying Zelda for now. Still pretty excited about the system.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

I thought the wii u lineup was bad and still got it day one but this is a whole other level.

Legit, the Wii U at least had Tekken Tag and Sonic Racing, plus NSMBU and Nintendo Land were actually pretty fun.

This is just... wow. Literally just Zelda and PPT for me and I can already get those on Wii U or PS4.

 

[YuriLowell]

You can't be serious, right? Almost every launch since the Wii has not even had a killer app. Yeah this isn't great but it has Zelda and that's far more than any launch has had in a very long time.

But I can get Zelda on a device I already own

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

Christ... Should I spend $500 to buy a Wii U game? Its a very nice looking Wii U game. but still.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Physical release for Setsuna or just digital?

 

[Omega Kirby]

Ill get Zelda

Spoiler

On WiiU
