QOL changes to the UI and what not are fine and all, but the Switch needs games. It must have the big AAA titles from third parties.

You know what would help the Xbox? Some great exclusives, Sony is killing it with top quality must-have exclusives.

Nintendo always brings great exclusives, the problem in the past has been that they are far between and, of course, not having the big third-party titles.

I just hope the game turns out to be good. At least I can play it on PS4 day1.

@CathInShadow Certainly a facet of the Third Reich that many do not know about and an interesting subject to explore. It's good that you and your team can make this program and its aftermath more well known.

Lebensborn was an SS program to increase the birth rate of Aryan children. It was more "master race" nonsense.

Wow, 3ds had a rocky start but it turned out great. Easily my favorite handheld gaming console of all time.

Well, the retail section for Switch is pretty thin at most big box stores here in the US, so the high attach rate is not surprising.

Why limit that to one save? Seems dumb to me.

Wait and see is the best strategy. I doubt I will get a switch this year, not enough titles interest me yet.

Glad I am getting it on PS4 with Stick of Truth as a preorder bonus.

The Hylian Shield can break? I'm not sure I like that.

@Jcdbengals I hope Switch does well enough so that Nintendo releases a hardware revision. I think I can wait as, for me anyway, there is only one "must have" title with a couple coming down the line.

@rushiosan Really? I can see light all the way through my New 3ds XL when closed. My screen is perfect except for my fingerprint smudges.

I saw a Switch in the wild yesterday at college and couldn't believe how tiny it is, especially the joy-cons.

$90 dollars and no cables/power supply is outrageous and shameful.

Figured Zelda would be number one. Horizon Zero Dawn is awesome too, easily a contender for GOTY.

Ha, I just bought the Shovel Knight amiibo from Amazon today too.

I am so used to Sony's Flash Sales for PS4 that when I look at the "deals" Nintendo offers, it just makes me sad.

@kingc8 StarDew valley is more like Rune Factory in my opinion, so differently better.

Nice, I'll pick up my preorder then.

I haven't touched SuMo since I completed my Pokedex. I only plan on firing it up for the event pokémon distributions.

@Pokefanmum82 same here getting SOS and Horizon.

Glad Ratchet and Clank was recognized, I love that series and the reboot was great.

Sounds interesting, but I never got into using level editors etc for games.

This game is so good. It looks great and is so much fun.

I just got Poochy and Yoshi's wooly world for 3ds, it is charming and looks really good on the New 3ds.

Has Beedle opened a medical marijuana dispensary in Hyrule then?

I don't use the browser on my 3ds or PS4, they just aren't great to use

I thought it was a good commercial. I'm just glad Nintendo is putting some marketing dollars behind the Switch.

It will be interesting to see how Fire Emblem is received by mobile users. I wonder how high the name recognition is in the mobile space.

I'm glad Super Mario Maker 3ds had some success, it is a fun game for on the go.

At least Nintendo is still operating in the green, that is the most important thing. Hopefully Switch and restocking 3ds will turn the sales numbers around.

So the headphone jack and Bluetooth indicates to me that voice chat will be integrated into the system and that the smartphone app will be used for other things like scheduling. I could be wrong and hope Nintendo clarifies that. Other than that the Switch seems pretty solid.

Nada here as well, at least I have DQVIII.

@Romeo-75 I'm a big fan of the 3d as well. I will miss it in future games.

Lot's of titles coming to 3ds that I plan on getting. As someone mentioned, hopefully we see more of Ever Oasis soon. That looked really promising.

@rjejr They could have sold more systems if they were actually in stock at the box stores too. Those stores have been sold out since before Christmas and all I see is an odd 2DS now and then and even Target's website is out of stock.

@ManInTheChair that is odd since it is a Select in Europe

@retro_player_22 Its an issue for who owns the name. Here is the story on it if you are interested.

@TheHumbleFellow IKR? You would think Gamefreak/Nintendo would have made some announcement since they kept saying "January 2017" for release.

These games are so much fun just to relax with. Will have to pick this up for sure.

DQVIII is so good, the voice acting is well done and their is some really funny writing. The octopus that talks like his tentacles are sock puppets made me laugh.

@RoomB31 It was crazy only seeing a 2ds or two in stock at the big box stores. I can't help but think Pokemon etc would have done even better had hardware been readily available as well for Christmas.

I think the pricing is fine. DO I wish it had a pack-in game, sure. It's not a deal breaker.

Looks pretty good actually. I will get that game at some point I think

oh yeah, picking up DQVIII tomorrow.

I thought 2017 was going to be an "ok" year for 3ds as it wound down, but I'm really excited for another great year.

So...any info on when the PokeBank update is going to drop?

@MadameSpuki Same here, I am pretty excited for the Switch. Granted the launch lineup is not stellar, but most systems have "meh" titles. Zelda seems like a 50-100 hour game so at least that is out day 1.

I love the usual salty comments by the equally salty people. LOL
