UK Nintendo Switch Launch Lineup

Imagine if zelda had been ready a year earlier and they released it on the Wii u sometime last year or the year before. This would be an utter disaster. As a Wii u owner who doesn't need switch to play Zelda, Mario kart or Splatoon it kind of still is.
 
They are crazy if they release the Wii U version of Zelda the same day, atleast now we know why their stock for the worldwide launch is only 2 million units
 
You'll be less shocked when it misses 2017 like Mario probably will.

Summer sounds like a good time to get the Switch though, with Splatoon, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Zelda all at once.

Throw in Smash 4 and Mario Maker and thats what Launch should have looked like

So weird how Smash isn't even mentioned for 2017, Mario Maker too honestly.

At least by holiday 2017 with those two and everything else it would be a really tempting purchase.
 
It would have made far more sense to launch this on April 28th so that they could have Zelda and MK8 as launch titles.
 
Nintendo just need to come out and simply say

"These are the games you can buy on launch day in seven weeks time"

Is it that fucking hard?
 
Just played Bomberman and I'm surprised it's a launch title, unless it's an early build. 1-2-Switch really needs to be a pack in.
 
I actually really liked the presentation last night and the line up they have for the year over all but definitely thinking summer might be the sweet spot to jump in after retailers stop gouging £60 for the launch window games and there's a bit more to play. Right now it would really just be for me to play Zelda and I'd rather when I buy it I can really get the whole family excited with arms, Mario Kart, Splatoon, maybe even yooka lay Lee if that's out.
 
Damn, that's bad.

Zelda looks decent though but it seems pointless paying £279.99 to play it when I've got a Wii U somewhere. Particularly when this version doesn't seem to be markedly better than the Wii U version.
 
Xenoverse 2 coming to Switch too eh.
Not that it interests me too much, but same publisher for Dark souls and that was rumoured.

I'll be shocked if Xenoblade 2 does come out this year. I somehow just don't believe it, in fact I'm pretty sure it'll be delayed if it'd the real plan.
If they do release it this year though, better chance I'll want a switch this year.

Surprised we've had no mention of SSB switch either. Even just being a port I would think it'd be a big popular game for switch. (That and the amiibo.)

The way I see it at the moment, I'm only confident with getting Zelda with Switch and MK8 Deluxe shortly after it. I don't feel confident with XB2 or even the new Mario game coming this year.
 
See, a launch like the Wii U's would have worked well for this console. Lots and lots of ports from month old games, yes, but portability would be a massive factor. Look at the Skyrim excitement.
 
let's see

Zelda
1, 2 Switch (maybe)
Bomberman (maybe)
Disgea 5
PuyoPuyo (maybe)
Rime
Splatoon 2
Mario
Xenoblade Chronicles 2

seems like a decent enough list

When Mario comes out up to 3/4 of a year later it really stretches the boundaries of "launch lineup"
 
That is NOT THE FUCKING LAUNCH LINEUP!

There is such a fake news force crapping all over the Switch right now, who's paying you? Sony, Microsoft, Trump?

Seriously, fake news should be a bannable.


AND there is going to be GAMES FOR EVERY FUCKING MONTH IN THIS YEAR! MULTIPLE AND MOSTLY QUITE BIG!

How many of you would've bought more than LoZ? They gave that game the spotlight and it is smart. Why drown the other games. Release those small games to round up the launch and then release more megatons in a good pace.

Why don't you regale us with better info?
 
To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Unless the VC and EShop has some great stuff in the first 3 months, I won't be buying a Switch until September / October.

Those launch day games, what a shame, Zelda yes ok but that is it, when I picked up my WiiU at midnight launch I got the ZombiU bundle with New Super Mario Bros. U and
Nintendo Land, solid games (I didn't like Nintendo Land though).

That is exactly what it is. 5 games on Switch on 3rd of March in Europe. Reported already by Nintendo, by journalists etc.

You have other news, more REAL, why don't you post them? With sources, by the book.
