Switch The Official Nintendo Switch|2 Thread - Part 2

[Sithborg]

Not as big as I hoped. But it is a direct.

 

[spiderman2]

Nothing in there that I am interested in. Ports of DKTF and HW I already have them on wii u and seeing DK in the Mario Rabbit game and a port of DKTF hurts. Why Nintendo why must you do this to me? 2 DK related things but no new DK game.

 

[X Knight]

Hyrule Warriors is one of the Wii U games I wanted to play and was hoping it would get a Switch release.

also, the Mario Tennis game looks like it could be fun.

so good news for me.

 

[Sithborg]

Good to get a date for Kirby, though. It is a fairly solid spring lineup.

It is good to see updates and DLC for Poken and Odyssey. I am real interested in Mario Tennis. And I will rebuy Hyrule Warriors, since I never got the 3DS stuff.

I will keep an eye on The World Ends With You and YS.

Yeah, it isn't the big guns, but there is enough variety to continue the momentum of the Switch.

 

[Travesty]

I still have my Wii U hooked up, so I don't care about DKCTF, as I still own it. I was hoping for some VC updates, and maybe some news on a new Smash or Mario Maker 2. Not a fan of Kirby, so meh.

Absolutely nothing stood out that I wanted to play or get. Maybe Fe? Oh well....

Oh, and if Mario Tennis is anything like the Wii U version, I would skip. You should definitely wait on reviews before you buy.

 

[Lily Adler]

Fe looked very interesting. As someone who doesn't own a Wii U, the ports are exciting since I never got to experience those games. I still have to get Splatoon 2 and Pokken Tournament Deluxe though. But Tropical Freeze and Hyrule Warriors are great additions to the library as well. Also Dark Souls Remastered (I honestly thought it would be a Bayonetta trailer from the wicked line).

 

[Matt Mortem]

Loved most of what I saw. I sold my Wii U so I'm stoked for ports of those great Wii U games I enjoyed before. I always wanted to play The World Ends With You so that's an awesome announcement. I do hope there's an alternative to the touch controls and motion with the joycon. Playing it on the go like that, sans stylus, seems like it'd be a pain in the ass. It seems like the touch requires a bit of precision that your finger just can't handle as well as a stylus.

I'm glad they finally confirmed Dark Souls for Switch. I know rumors started swirling pretty early on in the Switch's life that Dark Souls was runable on the Switch, but a confirmation is nice. Never played the first Dark Souls so I'll grab it. From what I saw on Gamestop it's only $40 which is terrific. I love these sort of budget priced ports and remasters that are becoming a big thing in the gaming industry.

 

[Lily Adler]

I'm hoping Mario Tennis Aces is good.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I'm not 100% sold on Mario Tennis Aces. The one for the Wii U was so shallow and dull. It stopped being fun less than an hour into playing it. I'll definitely be waiting for reviews for Aces.

 

[Lily Adler]

I'm hoping Camelot got it together for this one. It would be cool if they took inspiration from the handheld Mario games (maybe a little Tennis RPG) for this iteration since it's on a part-handheld system. Yeah Fe is definitely a must purchase cause it looks really good, but it's EA... conflicting.

 

[Silvermoth]

That new Mario oddysey update sounds fun. I love green Mario!

And funky Kong is so fly he's going to make you say "damn that's funky!"

 

[Lily Adler]

Well I actually agree on the Funky is the game's new Easy mode analysis that's going around.

 

[rashad]

Please note this was a Nintendo Direct MINI. This wasn't meant to be a full-blown Direct.

 

[CB Fan]

Looking forward to Pokken updates though I wish mew was actually playable. Happy to also see DK:F and Madio Odyssey update.

 

[Travesty]

I was hoping that Luigi would be playable in Odyssey, but oh well. That DLC didn't really excite me.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I kinda prefer this mini direct format. I felt like they didn't waste as much time with relentlessly dull gameplay demos. I tune into Directs for announcements so I'd rather they just sling out a handful of announcements and be done with it.

 

[Travesty]

I don't mind the mini-aspect to it, I was just disappointed that I didn't see anything I wanted to play.

Super Meat Boy just dropped on the eShop, and I'm wondering if I want to buy it again, and try to 100% it, or just wait for it to go on sale?

 

[Sithborg]

There will likely will be a bigger direct next month to hype up Kirby a bit more. And then a Kirby only direct in March.

I'm gonna wait for it to go on sale. I own it on other platforms. It's a great game and I eventually want it on Switch, but I can wait.

 

[Sithborg]

I had forgotten how much they added to the 3DS version of Hyrule Legends. Definitely picking it up.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I think it'd be interesting to see a port of Wario Land Shake It on Switch. It had a gorgeous art style and the motion stuff wasn't too obnoxious.

 

[Lily Adler]

At least a sequel.

 

[Silvermoth]

Oh heavens I feel spoiled! I was happy with that one!

What a wonderful time to be a Nintendo fan

 

[Sithborg]

I will say, they have learned a great way to market their games. Even the smaller, indie titles.

Yeah, I really liked how this got straight to the point, just a quick video showing off a bunch of upcoming games.
