Considering the gross number of show-stopping bugs in Skyrim, Bethesda's unwillingness to patch, and I assume the unavailability of the unofficial patch mod on Switch, maybe don't buy Skyrim

I literally never ran into any of these on the 360 version, so I'm not really that concerned.

While the idea of a portable Skyrim sounds fantastic I just know they won't support it in the slightest.

Also you just know it is going to retail for $60.

ARMS- Really liked it but like others I'm concerned about how long it will hold my interest. I have Nier in my backlog so I might just go with that.

Spla2n- The testfire didn't hook me, hopefully there will be another so I can get convinced.

X com Mario: Looks good, probably gonna wait for reviews and get it later.

Xeno2: Same deal as above but it also depends on whether I need to play the first one to get the story

Mario hat: Instabuy.

Yoshi/Kirby: Look fun, might get them depending on what else is out there at the time they come out.

Skyrim/Rocket League: Already have them in other platforms.

Metroid4: Instabuy unless it is Other M level of bad.

They actually said Xenoblade Chronicles 2 will be set in its own world, Nopon are just Xenoblade Moogles. You should still go hunt down the first game in the meantime though, it's well worth playing.

Not even all of 2017 either, just the first 8 months of 2017 are insane.

March
- 1 2 Switch
- Snipperclips
- Super Bomberman R
- The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+
- The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild

April

- Puyo Puyo Tetris

May
- Disgaea 5
- Minecraft <<Top of the charts constantly in every region

June
- ARMS

July
- Splatoon 2

August
- Sonic Mania
- Mario+Rabbids Kingdoms

September
- FIFA 18
- NBA2k18
- Pokken Tournament

October
- Fire Emblems Warriors
- Super Mario Odyssey

ALLLLL before the 2017 Holiday season kicks into high gear :psyduck:
Look at that loving lineup. Holy gently caress your wallet is going to cry.

Then you've got games still planned for 2017 releases
- Dragonball Xenoverse 2
- Rocket League
- Skyrim
- Sonic Forces
- Star Drew Valley
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Not to mention the countless countless rock solid indie games already out and still to come for 2017 and beyond. Like I can't even list all of them off without it being a giant wall of text, and not just lovely shovelware titles; proper proper indie titles that you would normally only see on PC/Xbone/PS4 :psyboom:

Then to top it all off you the following confirmed in development :
- Metroid Prime 4
- Main series Pokemon RPG <<Do you even realise how many loving systems this is going to sell? Like if you think it's hard to get a Switch now :laffo:
- New Pikmin
- New Kirby
- New Yoshi

You have literally every single primary Nintendo franchise planned in development, and you better loving believe Smash Bros is on its way.
Do you even realise how nuts that is?
Like look at that 2017 lineup.
Do people even appreciate how unprecedented it is to have a loving main series Pokemon game on a Nintendo home console?

You absolutely do not, despite what people say the story is rambling nonsensical garbage. The environments and music and stuff are cool but the plot is nonsense. And based on how the second game seems, if there is a tangible plot connection it's nothing you couldn't be caught up on with a summary.

The dock really fucks a case or nerfing it.

I know Rabbids predate them. But they give me the same vibe as minions do. The designed by committee to be super cute and oh-so-wacky. Its just doesn't land for me on any level. The game looks interesting but I cannot get past the terrible bad looking rabbids.

it's a game that's also going to be on iOS/Android so I worry the puzzles will be dumbed down in addition to being by a new person :|

The Pokemon RPG is pretty much proof that the 3DS is on its way out the door in a year at best if you had any lingering doubts, because if it had life left that would sure as poo poo be the platform for the next one (It's been stated on record several times that the Pokemon Company never make home console Pokemon games because half the point/fun is going out to trade and battle with people).

It's still very much a Nintendo console with Nintendo games. I would say wait and see what happens next year if companies actually want to put their games on the console.

I think a lot of people confuse 'plot' and 'characters werent read by the worst voice actors alive'
