Well I haven't played Shovel Knight yet... I really wonder how I never got around to buying that game, but now I will! I promise!

The racing game seems kinda fun, and if it isn't priced too high, it might be a purchase for me at some point.

Now, it's all nice that they are announcing all sorts of games that you can play on that console.
However it would also be nice if there is a decent supply of those consoles, so that we can actually play those games on it when they launch.

It's a total blast on Wii U. I've had plenty of fun with it, so I plan on getting the game for Switch. Having all of the extra content right out of the gate is gonna be awesome

I had no idea that Specter of Torment was coming out so soon. I feel like Plague of Shadows had more buzz heading into release. Not that it matters since they paid for it to be a timed exclusive anyway and it won't come to PC for while. Besides, this March I'll be busy playing Zelda anyway (on Wii U).

Sounds nice, however, I am only buying a Switch at launch because of Zelda, I will gladly buy more games after I am done with it.

 

[Covarr]

Switch has more than twice as many confirmed launch titles as SNES did, so it should be twice as successful, right? Then again, Wii U had nearly seven times as many launch titles as SNES.

I'm starting to think launch lineup isn't a significant factor in a console's success.

P.S. Thanks

Indie games that you can get cheaper on PC, or your smart device. I'd be more impressed if they get got more Triple A titles on it.

For me the console has a big potential and offers what no console does. Especially that they put good games this time, not like at the time of the wiiU.
