So there were a couple surprises (DOOM, Wolfenstein 2), but nothing amazing. Still, just a solid selection of updates and there's nothing wrong with that. Looking forward to possessing my enemies in Mario Odyssey and playing as Buff Dedede in Smash Bros. Switch.

I don't give a gently caress about Minecraft anymore but that Dragon Quest Builder's game might be fun. If I can play some form of coop with my brother I might check that out.

It is good, but there's no multiplayer. I heard that DQB2 WILL have multi, though, and that was announced for Switch months ago. Kinda surprising that they're porting the first one too, but... Meh. It's still fun.

Aside from sounding like someone with an impediment/lisp is trying to say octopus, I don't think it's that bad of a name. It's better than Bravely Default or Bravely Second.

Dragon Quest Builders looked relatively smooth in that footage so I’ll probably pick it up. A Minecraft game with an actual goal and not poo poo combat sounds like it could be fun.

I’ll give the Octopath demo a go but Square’s new “retro” games haven’t been very good thus far.

I would've never guessed DOOM would show up on the Switch. Pretty hard sale if it ends up being $60, it's already been as low as like $15 on other consoles and probably even lower on Steam. But if you've only got a Switch... well, it's a pretty good game. Nails that 90's FPS style of super fast gore.

Also lol Stardewhen?

I'm pretty worried at this point that any Animal Crossing game is gonna be more spinoff nonsense they just poo poo out in tandem with the mobile app.

Already knew that, but there were 18 possible dates and they gave us none. Until I see the thing on my switch I won't believe the game of the decade actually exists.

Actually since they tend to release new eShop games on Thursday(?) then there are 3 possible dates.

If the switch wasn't the huge runaway success it's currently turning out to be I could've seen that happening. But I'd be shocked if there wasn't a mainline crossing game on the switch

I’m not even sure I’d want Smash 5 on Switch because of the amazing roster 4 has. There couldn’t be a noticeable graphical jump either so it seems like it would be a waste. Building on Smash 4 with more content seems like a better idea imo.

A real Animal Crossing is definitely coming. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had one already in development on Wii U but delayed it after they saw it was tanking and crapped out the amiibo game instead.
