Very much so! New SMT and FE Warriors was quite unexpected.

Also nice: Disgaea 5 is apparently coming to the Switch. Not so nice: I pretty much beat the game already. ^^;; Maybe it'll have some extra content to make up for it?

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Splat2n are also pretty hype.

Time to sell my WiiU

[Drake]

I'm hype for a lot of the benefits and some new games but the price point would utterly destroy me (400 CAD) and the launch lineup is pretty bad

[Edible]

This is gonna be worth thinking about in 2018, maybe.  I doubt most of those games come out this year, and I already have a wii u for zelda.

Is Splatoon 2 a launch title? If it is, BRB selling Wii U. If not, I can probably wait.

Nope. It will be released around summer they say.

>Fire Emblem Musou
Finally, a FE game I can play without suffering at the hands of RNG! :V

this right here, among other things, wells up in me some new hope for the post-iwata nintendo

[MewMewHeart]

Breath of the Wild and Fire Emblem Warriors GIMME THAT!

Indeed.

A Switch purchase is an inevitability for me, but I just don't have any reason to pick one up at launch - already have a Wii U for Zelda, and I doubt FE Musou and Xenoblade 2 are coming out anytime soon.  That new Mario game looks great though.

I'm interested in Switch and I'll buy one, eventually.
Kinda disappointed about online play not being free. I know about Sony and Microsoft, just I never expected Nintendo to do it. Even if their online services aren't the best are least they are free.

Honestly I don't get why someone should pay for this. I already payed for the hardware, the software and my ISP. Why I should pay more.
Meh. Anyway I know not all games will require payment, but still sucks, somewhat.

Overall still pretty hyped about Switch, especially after I decided to not buy WiiU (that Mario Kart looks awesome).
