The Nintendo Direct just ended, and a bunch of new games were announced for the ~~3DS~~ and Switch.

The biggest news was the announcement of Smash Bros for Switch, with Inklings as playable characters. No word on if it's just a port of the Wii U version or a brand new title (but lbr it's probably just a port).

• Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey
• Detective Pikachu & Extra Large Amiibo
• Luigi's Mansion
• Captain Toad Treasure Tracker

Switch:

where's my Fire Emblem info drop, Nintendo?!!

Edited at 2018-03-09 12:54 am (UTC)

E3 Nintendo Direct.

Bank on it.

oh for sure, but i'm still hoping for at least a little something about it before then.

Meh. Okami seems to be popular on all the consoles, I hope this means that theres a new Okami coming. I loved that game, easy and refreshing.

Im still bitter we dont have a wiiu/switch Pokemon RPG game. 3DS is fun, but I would love it on the large screen better.

omg please Okami, i would run out and buy a switch TODAY

I’ll wait for fire emblem, Shin megami tensei, animal crossing or motherfucking Pokémon. Please and thank you

Switch Fire Emblem is coming this year!

I just read 2020 💔

Omg my pussy is throbbing

PLAYABLE OCTOLINGS

We knew it was coming once Splatoon became such a huge hit in Japan.

I thought SmashBros was coming to it too??

Has anybody traveled with the Switch before? I'm headed to Boston in a few weeks and wanted to take it with me. Just wondering how the battery is and such.

Depends on what you're playing. BotW and Super Mario Odyssey lasted me 2-2.5 hours, but some of the lighter stuff lasted me 3 or more.

Do you have a portable charger? If you watch for sales, you can get one at a good price and extend
your playtime. That's what I do.

Oh, and Smash Bros. hasn't been confirmed. Just rumored.

I brought it to play zelda at my job once and the battery lasted like two hours, I was honestly shocked at how little it lasted, imo a portable gaming system should have a battery life of at least ten hours, but I play very little video games (just some nintendo stuff every couple of years) so I could have very unrealistic expectations

Buy a battery tbh. We have this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076WPSWWX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_JqEOAbJQD5Y6G

BOTW and SMO absolutely kill the battery on it, you'll be lucky to get 3 hours, but I can play Disgae 5 for forever on that thing. I have a power bank I use with it if I need to.

smash bros is coming, it's in the post

Detective Pikachu having the voice of an old man is rly weird

I was getting annoyed most of the stuff announced were remakes and ports with added content but I have a soft spot for Crash and no PS4. Apparently it's coming to steam too, thankfully. That Little Nightmares game looked pretty neat even though I hate anything even slightly scary. tho fr, where is that 4th Pikmin game?

Not like I even play that many games to begin with, I don't even have a Switch lol. Though I came across an old let's play channel I used to watch today and I was surprised at how they barely get even a couple thousand views anymore. Weird how things like that happen.

Right now Nintendo's strategy is "port over Wii U games since NOBODY bought a Wii U."

I don't like that I'm double dipping (but I give my money to Nintendo without hesitation, so that's more my problem than anything else), but at least it keeps the software drought at bay for the most part.

I have a Wii U :( And like no games for it lol. I did really like Yoshi's Wooly World and Captain Toad though. I'm at least glad they released BOTW on the Wii U so I got to play that at least. Should have bought that Hyrule Warriors game, it looked fun.

I'm glad they're adding some new content even if they're just ports. The lack of actual new titles for the switch is still pretty disappointing though. Hopefully they'll hurry up with Animal Crossing, Pikmin, Pokemon, etc soon.

I mean, there are some great games that didn't the right attention because of the Wii U's sales. I really wanted DKC: Tropical Freeze, but I wasn't buying a console for it. I'm stoked for the port. Might as well get some more sales and recognition for their work.

Honestly I regret buying my Wii U because it means either I double dip or I have nothing but indies to play. Every other game coming out for it I either already own on another console or don't wanna play at all. It'll be worth it once Pokemon and Fire Emblem come out but I'm also in the "if I can get it on PS4 I'm not buying it for Switch" camp so that's not gonna help me later.

The only switch related games that catches my interest is Octopath Traveler, whatever the new Pokemon game is, and The World Ends With You so I'm probably gonna hold off on getting a switch when a couple of those games are out.

Octopath looks amazing and I can't wait for July!!!! I hope the OST is epic like a 16 bit throwback RPG should be.

YES octopath! I miss those kinds of rpgs.

The World Ends With You is gonna be amazing, I can't wait.

I am SOOOO happy for Switch Smash!!!!

I have a feeling that it's an enhanced port like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

I think they're going to put all the stages between the Wii U/3DS games on the Switch version, along with at least one level for Splatoon and one level for Arms and POSSIBLY New Donk City and a Breath of the Wild stage.

Plus, they'll bring back Ice Climbers, add in one Arms character and... yeah...

I want it. I want it now. Taking that day off from workkkkk.

they're for sure updating link to botw link, and i'm sure we'll be getting cappy for mario

I didn't think about Cappy, but that is pretty much a given now that you put that thought in my head.

No Pokemon? Bye.

what are some fun switch games I should get?

So far I just have
zelda-flawless fine fresh fierce amazing
mario odyssey-fantastic
splatoon 2-I've played the multi player fights for countless hours
popular dancing game can't remember the title-I got it for exercise and it was fun for a week before I forgot about it

that's all!

Did you get a Wii U? And if so, what big titles did you have for it?

I did not

before getting the switch I think the last video game I played was skyward sword lol

For multiplayer fun you might want to look at Bomberman. Mario Kart is, as always, a given. Mario + Rabbids is amazing. If you like puzzle games, Snipperclips might be worth looking at. If you like RPGS, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 might be worth a look, and Disgaea 5 Complete.

celeste!

OMG WARIOWARE, FUCK I LOVE THOSE MINI GAMES
