Sacre bleu!

Not sure about a "golden age", but 2017 has seen some wonderful games. It is one of the most prolific years in quite some time.

Or sometimes Pokemon are just piles of garbage..... literally.

That little money to get mass production going?

@NImH I am not a fan of minecraft, but really liked Builders.

The first one was great and DQB is a good fit for Switch.

@Oscarzxn I doubt it, they are more concerned about the GTA Online portion of game now.

Nintendo clearly does not understand its fans and just insults them with stuff like this.

Return to Arkham is 47gb on PS4, if they are porting that to Switch I hope everyone has enough storage.

AFAIK, the only game I would classify as "major" coming this year is Mario Odyssey.

That's a very meh list.

What a messy solution for something that should not be in 2017.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE IKR? Nintendo, always late to the party.

I would hope the PS4/Switch/3DS versions are released concurrently in the west. Having the game come to Switch later after the hype has settled down would be disappointing.

And so it begins.

Nintendo is quickly squandering all the good-will and positive press they garnered since launch with this terrible voice-chat implementation.

I suppose it depends on if Switch keeps the momentum going or not. The idea of Nintendo releasing a another purely home console is an interesting idea, one that I could see happening if MS abandons or finally sells off the Xbox brand.

@MarioPhD I had to look it up as I wasn't sure either, you are correct about it being a Sony exclusive.

That thing looks like a parody/photoshop product, unbelievable that it is actually a real thing. SMH

I'm not a sports game fan, but isn't "The Show" THE baseball game on PS4/Xbox?

What an overly complicated process. I would have expected Nintendo to learn from MS and Sony on how to run a decent infrastructure, but alas.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Yeah especially given the way online is handled. Nintendo is still way behind on that front.

Metroid all the way. I never played the original so I'm looking forward to having a brand new game in the series.

This game is garbage as I recall from the reviews.

Seems there is a lot of truth in Lorne's statements. Time will ultimately tell if Switch brings 3rd party support in a meaningful way.

Trousers of the Wind, giggle

@Priceless_Spork That's a good question. I did and this article from 2012 about the Russian gaming scene. I wonder if anything has changed since then, as it seems piracy was the name of the game then as new games were expensive there.

@Priceless_Spork the Russians would disagree with that they certainly came out ahead after WWII.

@yokokazuo That would make sense if it was. I probably just missed the exclusive part of the announcement.

"it's worth noting that this one will also come to the New Nintendo 3DS"

Does this mean it is exclusive to the N3DS/N2DS or is that just a turn of phrase because the "New" iterations are the current hardware?

Viewing angles only bad on TN type displays, IPS panels have much more forgiving viewing angles. On the New 3ds it is luck of the draw on which display type you get.

I have to go with Super Metroid, everything about that game is just perfect.

The resellers will be happy I'm sure. I have the "must have" games on my New 3DS so I'll pass on this.

I've been playing since launch and I love it. The review pretty much summed up the game.

Interesting, I would be concerned about the unit tipping forward and snapping off/damaging the USB connecter though

Waluigi should be an Arms character with those appendages.

@CorvoRevo I tend to agree, I doubt a monthly subscription fee-based game would do well on the Switch.

Ever Oasis for sure, I have been anticipating that game since its reveal.

I can't imagine this will sell well, that game has been out for for close to 6 years and on every major last gen/current gen system. Plus the full boat retail price isn't going to help.

I hope Nintendo has the supply issue figured out by the time Christmas rolls around or they will be shooting themselves in the foot.

BTW, 3DS still looks like it is in short supply as well in the box stores here in the states.

@k8sMum I see that now, I just ran through the demo. I love that gameplay loop. I love the look and music, can't wait to pick this up on Friday.

@k8sMum Does progress cary over to the main game from the demo?

I can't wait to play this.

E3 bump or not, it is good news and what Nintendo is doing and shown has all been pretty positive so far. 3DS and Switch should both have a good year and if they they can meet Switch demand Christmas should be stellar.

@HeroOfCybertron Same here, region specific wallpapers have to be one of the more stupid things I have seen as of late.

A quick google image search found an image very similar to the wallpaper so I grabbed that. Screw My Nintendo.

What the hell Nintendo, why are these wallpapers region specific? I would love that Ever Oasis one, but alas N/A in NA.

I never played the game boy version, so I love that this is going to be brand new to me.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE That's what you get with a contractually obligated version of the game. Of course I'm sure EA will complain when sales are less than stellar as well.

@Aeleron0X Skyrim is definitely worth playing. Just keep in mind that it is a 6 year old game and titles like Witcher 3 and BotW have raised the bar substantially for RPGs.

Day 1 for me.
