[Vanillalite]

Need to know more about virtual console and indies to supplement retail releases.

 

[blankempathy]

A meh lineup but honestly Zelda will keep me busy for a good month or two. The droughts are the problem.

 

[Fat4all]

welp

only zelda for me

 

[Megawarrior]

Wii U at least had Tekken Tag wtf.

 

[Eliseo]

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

You should check out the ps4/xbox one launch line up.

 

[zeromcd73]

Zelda only.

Super awful lineup.

 

[Da-Kid]

I thought ARMS was launch??

Me too... sigh.

 

[The_Intruder]

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

Both 3ds and wiiu had a fighting in the launch, this one is really bad.

 

[Barry Burton]

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

.

 

[friskykillface]

Terrible launch line up aside from Zelda
My god what a joke 😨
1,2 switch should be included in the system , same with arms
Arms isn't launch? Lol wat

I think I'm off the switch boat until splatoon 2 and I'll pick up Zelda on Wii u

 

[jonno394]

Wow, they really pushed it back to wait for games didn't they....

 

[Caim]

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

[Hello? This is Hailun!]

> - Puyo Puyo Tetris


ARE WE FINALLY GETTING THIS IN AMERICA?

 

[01DragonFly]

zelda and maybe I am setsuna or disgaea 5

 

[Mortemis]

man I'm really tryna justify paying fucking $300+ just for Zelda (looks like the wii u ain't all that cheaper nowadays, but idk)

someone stop me

 

[Hasney]

Shit, I'm going to be broke

 

[KingBroly]

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

I think it's the launch lineup. Dunno where Xenoverse 2 is though

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

That would be depressing if Zelda didn't look so goddam good and of course Bomberman.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

There's not a single thing there making me want to rush out for a Switch since I can get Zelda on my Wii U.

 

[majik13]

So is there really no packed in game? I thought it was obviously 1 2 switch. But I guess not.

 

[FSLink]

That's an ABYSMAL launch lineup.

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

I agree it's abysmal, but take that back about Puyo Puyo Tetris. It's an amazing puzzle game that deserves it finally getting a localization.

 

[Falchion]

Only interested in Zelda and mayyyybe Bomberman if it's cheap so I'll wait.

 

[KingSnake]

Honestly, Wii U launch was stellar compared to this.

 

[Dominator]

Has Been Heroes is a game published by Game Trust (GameStop). From the makers of Trine, a turn based game.

Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmZ1k9en944

 

[cyba89]

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

Zelda might be the best launch title of any hardware since Twilight Princess so no.

 

[AsakuraZ]

That's an ABYSMAL launch lineup.

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

Avatar: The Last Airbender
Call of Duty 3
Cars
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2
Excite Truck
The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy
GT Pro Series
Happy Feet
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Madden NFL 07

Rayman Raving Rabbids
Red Steel
SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz

Trauma Center: Second Opinion
Wii Sports (bundled with the Wii console)

I dunno, this is from the Wii launch and besides Zelda and Wii Sports, the rest of those titles weren't that great.

 

[Champion]

Kinda expected this after the Wii U and 3DS launches. Sad.

 

[Baroquemantic]

That's awful.

 

[kennyamr]

just Zelda...

I'm getting dehyped D:

for $430... + taxes....

I don't know if I should preorder anymore.

 

[Doc Holliday]

People were complaining that Mario and Zelda at launch was a shitty lineup....

 

[hatchx]

Is Virtual Console at launch because that would be a big game changed for me.

Looking like just Zelda for me.

 

[Pachimari]

I wonder when we will see Minecraft, Shovel Knight and Binding of Isaac..

 

[Wolfgang Jr]

No, Suda51 said he's hardly done anything to develope the new NMH. Has Been Heroes is some jobber shit that 4Chan leaked.

 

[robotrock]

Absolutely surreal to see Puyo Puyo Tetris and North America in the same sentence

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

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.

That's not really saying much. You're launching a $300 with overpriced accessories and below par online, you sure as shit better bring good software support. They have not done that.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I'm not going to mince words, this lineup is really really weak. Sigh.

 

[jxN3]

Didn't see myself ever playing anything other than Zelda at launch, so this is fine for me.

Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart shortly after sounds great, and then end the year with Mario? Incredible first year if Mario actually releases.

 

[brinstar]

Zelda and Disgaea will be what I start with then.

 

[Schnozberry]

I thought ARMS was launch??

They said Spring. My guess is May. They have Mario Kart in April.

 

[DSN2K]

Besides Zelda...Yep very poor

 

[13ruce]

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

Ps4 was worse imo

 

[tebunker]

People trashing Puyo Puyo Tetris need to get straight fucked, that game is amazing...

Go look at Giantbomb playing...


That said, outside of Zelda not too much here to right home about day one.

I don't care about that as much as knowing what the next 8 months look like.

 

[dugdug]

As if we couldn't already tell this was rushed to market...good lord.

 

[CDX]

hmmm.... haven't decided if I want the Switch at Launch yet, but if I do get it at launch I'd probably get these

- The Legend of Zelda: BotW
- Super Bomberman R
- Puyo Puyo Tetris
- Rayman Legends

 

[maxcriden]

That's an ABYSMAL launch lineup.

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

Pretty much, yeah, excepting Zelda:

[Max_Po]

LMAO..... I am getting Zeeeeeldaaaaa on Wii U

 

[Formless]

I dont think this includes eshop titles but the press releases I'm seeing on Go Nintendo are vague.

 

[Spirit Icana]

Only Zelda for me, but that game is strong enough for me, to make me pull the trigger.

Just need that master edition!

 

[Kissenkopf]

I actually feel kinda bad for them.

What an abysmal launch lineup.

I said it another thread but do you want 30 games just because it is a big number and 28 games are rubbish? Thats how launch line ups are in general. Onmy neogaf wants 100 games at launch and then everyone buys only zelda and then they blame the developers for not making games for the console after their launch games flopped.

 

[Jpop]

Rayman Legends? Again? lol
