Anyone else feels like Nintendo may have been their load too early? Mario AND Zelda in the first year? What's there to look forward to after that aside from a bunch of niche franchises like Pikmin, Yoshi, Metroid and Kirby? IMO, Super Mario Odyssey should've had a 2019 release with the niche franchises bolstering the Switch in the first year.

>Mario AND Zelda in the first year?
Wait, they have OTHER things?
>>380810190
>Pokémon
>>380810353
oh yeah.
>>380810050
No one buys the niche franchises moron.
>>380810050
The switch is priced as the equivalent of 600 dollars in my country, is it worth getting just for BotW?
>>380810353
Pokemon isn't coming until 2020.
DKC, F-Zero, Star Fox, Pikmin, Smash Bros., new IP's, Fire Emblem. There's still a lot to pick from.
>>380810869
Everything you listed there except for Smash Bros is a niche franchise. Getting all the niche franchises out of the way in the first year would've been ideal.
>>380810703
Just like Super Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 aren't coming out until 2018?
>>380810050
I'm pretty sure they thoroughly planned when games would come out. This year we get Zelda and Mario, next year Kirby, Yoshi, and possibly in Fall Pokemon. Not to mention they can still release Smash Deluxe, or GameCube virtual console.
Smash, Metroid, and Animal Crossing are gonna give Switch an even better 2018 than 2017.
Once again Nintendo fails to bring the multiplats at E3. I thought they learned? Why would anyone buy a Switch again?

>Everything you listed there except for Smash Bros is a niche franchise
>DKC1 outsold Fire Emblem in its entirety
You get everything else, but there are fans of those IP's. Not everything needs to sell Mario/Zelda numbers. Hell, Zelda was niche for a moment.
Well we get Mario and Zelda this year (plus xeno, arms, Mario Kart, and Splatoon).
Next year there's Pokémon and maybe Metroid.
What I'm most interested in is whatever Retro has been working on. It's not Metroid, so maybe a new IP?
Just give me another Pikmin to no-death and an Animal Crossing to turn into a modern town with a street, sidewalk, boardwalk graveyard and football field all made from patterns...
>>380811335
Forgot about the mainline fire emblem, and monster hunter
>>380810050
No More Heroes 3 BABYYYYYYYYYYY
>>380810050
What about.... NEW FUCKING GAMES AND IPs?
They could probably make a new Zelda with BotW assets like Majora's Mask
>>380811436
And pikmin
>>380811335
This guy actually thinks it takes a single year to develop Pokemon...You aren't going to get Pokemon nor Metroid in 2018. Late 2019 at BEST.
>>380811240
They got Skyrim though, and next year they might possibly get Fallout 4. What more can you ask for, really?
>>380811486
Didn't they just release two new IPs today?
>>380812089
Arms released today what else?
Ever Oasis? I thought that came out later this month
>>380811713
I hope pokemon is a 2019 game desu, but I have a strong belief in gamefreak's ability to rush out low quality pokemon games every year
>>380810050
>Mario AND Zelda in the first year?
Are we pretending like this hasn't been the case for nearly every console?
>>380810050
Fucking Pokemon
Fucking Smash
Fucking Animal Crossing
Fire Emblem
Paper Mario/M&L
Luigi's Mansion
You're not very bright.
>>380810050
>aside from a bunch of niche franchises like Pikmin, Yoshi, Metroid and Kirby
I mean they don't sell as much as Mario or Zelda, but really? These are staple Nintendo franchises. They're not "niche".
If all you care about is popularity, they'll eventually come out with a new Smash Bros.
>>380811240
is this ironic? Why would i buy a multiplat for the weakest system? I want it for the first party stuff.
They've TRIED to go with third party stuff like mass effect, assassins creed, ghost recon, need for speed, ect. Its on the FAILED console, the Wiiu
>>380811240
>buying Nintendo consoles for multiplats
>buying consoles for multiplats
Consoles are only good for exclusives.
F-Zero reboot as a normie-pandering open-space game that also features racing
>>380810050
Animal Crossing, Pokemon, and Fire Emblem.
Plus, whatever Retro is doing. God I want to know.
>>380810971
Fire Emblem is no longer "niche"
>>380810050
Just a reminder Mario 64 was the only mainline Mario game on 64.
>>380810050
>What's there to look forward too?
More Mario and more Zelda. You've been swallowing that shit for 30 years, don't start complaining now.
>>380811713
Pretty sure gen 8 has been in the development with gen 7 so it's been 2 years in development.
Watch tamashi videos about pokemon games development.
Gamefreak actually developes multiple gens concurrently.
That's why the games sometime have missing features from the previous games not because they took it out but because development started together.

Animal Crossing is niche as fuck. Which non-Nintendo fan is going to buy a console for Animal Crossing? Like which mature fan would consider that?
>>380812892
Sold more than Fifa, cod and assaisns creed "niche"
The last two games sold 20 million copies.
If animal crossing is niche then The Last Of Us and Uncharted are ultra niche underground games.
>>380810050
I'd rather have a ton of good games in the first two years than all their best games coming out at the end of the systems cycle.
Also, you know that Nintendo will make another Mario and Zelda game by the end of the Switch. The real question is if the other series will get represented. With Metroid already confirmed for coming back, they've already done better than the Wii U. If they throw out a proper Kirby, new Mario Kart, new Captain Toad and a surprise like Duck Hunt, then the Switch has the potential to be their best system. And they still have 5 years to do all that.

>Animal Crossing is niche as fuck.
Selling 2-5 million copies per game is niche? That's more than Metroid.
