[Vanillalite]

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

Maybe Street Fighter is downloadable and so not on the list.

They didn't talk about anything with regards to downloadables/indies/virtual console

 

[tearsintherain]

is 1,2, Switch a game you have to buy or bundled?

 

[Kaelan]

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

Ehh I'm only getting I am Setsuna, Disgaea 5, and zelda :/

 

[friskykillface]

Wii u had new super Mario brothers , zombiU and other decent games like call of duty , Tekken , scribblenauts , sonic racing

Wtf happened

 

[Brandon F]

So I'll get Zelda on Wii U for now and pick up a Mario Switch bunduru in the holiday I suppose.

 

[platina]

Zelda the saving grace and after that

Spoiler

wasteland.

 

[Destin715]

Said this in the Japanese lineup thread, but...

Everybody rushing to day one this is going to get burned bad. I don't predict a lot of happy reports in the first few weeks.

 

[takriel]

It's got a new Zelda, so it's really not that bad for me. Granted, it's cross gen, but if it runs better on Switch, it's totally worth it!

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Yeah I'm going to wait and see how things play out.

If the system is a boom maybe get a Zelda bundle come holiday season.

 

[The Lamp]

LMAO at the fact they delayed this console so long to get the lineup/software drought addressed, and here we are.

Nintendo doesn't seem to know how to run a business anymore. They're just good at making Zelda and Mario games (eventually....although Zelda took like 6 fucking years to make).

 

[Schnozberry]

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

PS4 and XBone lineups were weak too. Although we may not have heard everything yet.

 

[Goldenmoney]

Pretty scarce. Hate to say it, but I think I can wait til holiday 2017 to buy this thing. Unless pokemon stars is real...

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Zelda attach rate confirmed to be 100%.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Rayman Legends? lol

 

[Trojita]

Awful lineup. My kneejerk thread was right.

 

[SirUltimos]

Oh, right. Steep is a game that exists.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

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

Wow!!!! IMHO opinion Nintendo has decided to devalue their brand in order to sell the company to a prospective buyer that Japan would allow. Apple, Disney, are the only two I can think of. Maybe Google or Microsoft, but I doubt it.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

The launch is bad... not for me but for everyone else. I get Zelda

 

[onemanasylum]

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.

Ps4 and x1 were way better because they have all the big third party support....

 

[silva1991]

Gimmicky stuff aside, Zelda is the only new game and it's not Switch exclusive....

My WiiU is ready.

 

[Alienous]

There must have been a mismanagement issue.

There's no reason why new (and challenging to develop for) hardware like the PlayStation VR, the most recent hardware launch, can get as varied a launch lineup as it did and the Nintendo Switch can't.

 

[LordKano]

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.

I'm just comparing both lineup. The Wii U one was way worse than this and people should really look at the games themselves instead of the amount.

 

[bachikarn]

only getting Zelda, but don't really care.

 

[Kacho]

lol..:

 

[HotHamBoy]

No skyrim?

Skyrim has been confirmed for Fall...

 

[seantos]

Why didn't they show most of these titles in the presentation? Also didn't steep bomb? I hope Ubisoft doesnt' see its failure on the switch as an excuse to stop porting games to the system when the game wasn't a success on any system.

 

[Jasper Avenue]

Rayman Legends. A great 4 year old game coming out on a brand new console in 2017.

 

[Memento]

No way this is all, right?

Nintendo cant be THAT delusional to think that Zelda could carry the console on its back from March until the Holidays?

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

I think this just kicked me into the no buy category.

Zelda looks cool but not $300 cool. Yikes.

 

[AAMARMO]

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.

No its not.

 

[vern]

From the official Switch site like the Japanese one earlier:
- 1, 2 Switch
- The Legend of Zelda: BotW
- Just Dance 2017
- Has Been Heroes

- Disgaea 5 Complete

- I Am Setsuna

Shocked Steep is there... my source said it was canned. Maybe they just moved it to a cheaper dev house/port studio or something. Hope the rest of my info was right lol...

 

[BiggNife]

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

Are you fucking kidding me

Launch lineups are ALWAYS terrible!

Do you guys forget the DS launch? Or the 3DS????

 

[J@hranimo]

I'm guessing they're going to spread out the other releases?

They do need to further explain their release schedule. Even before E3.

 

[7threst]

I actually really like this line-up. Having Disgaea on Switch seems perfect for the series.

 

[True Fire]

So it's literally just a port machine LOL

 

[mrmickfran]

I... suddenly have little desire to buy this at launch now.

I want Zelda, but I have a Wii U.

 

[Karish]

Guys, the big game at WiiU launch was New Super Mario Bros. U

We are getting BOTW

 

[WordAssassin]

I thought the rumors said they delayed launching Switch in Fall 2016 so they'd have games.

I really want one, and am gonna get one, but what the fuck man.

 

[Fantastical]

Has Been Heroes is the No More Heroes sequel?

Yes, the game where only a single piece of artwork was shown is a launch game.

Spoiler

No

Guys, the big game at WiiU launch was New Super Mario Bros. U

We are getting BOTW

Which is available on hardware I already own.

 

[HotHamBoy]

Said this in the Japanese lineup thread, but...

Everybody rushing to day one this is going to get burned bad. I don't predict a lot of happy reports in the first few weeks.

Yeah, not sure why people are so eager to repeat the Wii U experience...

Nintendo. Nintendo never changes. (Well, they charge more...)

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Has Been Heroes

Is that an autobiographical game about Nintendo?

 

[Illucio]

So Zelda... And...
....

Waiting for Mario, Mario Kart, and Arms I guess?

 

[JCX]

Now I see why SE didn't localize the Vita version of Setsuna. Glad I held off!

 

[Iriscomeback]

No Skyrim? lol. It's a port.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Skyrim has been confirmed for Fall...

How late was Nintendo to the party that Skyrim is a fall release lol

 

[Neoxon]

Welp, just Zelda for me.

 

[asagami_]

Zelda, Disgaea and I am Setsuna.

It's fine

Spoiler

for me

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Are you fucking kidding me

Launch lineups are ALWAYS terrible!

Do you guys forget the DS launch? Or the 3DS????

You just listed more Nintendo hardware.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

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.

I don't want them to fail but I don't see how this console can catch fire with that kind of lineup.

 

[zackmorris]

Hmm that's pretty disappointing. I got my preorder in with Best Buy, but after seeing this list I'm not sure that will last. Zelda seems like the only game I want. I guess I'll see what the other release dates are looking like.
