The Nintendo Switch

"Fighter Roster Video"

snake is back

Snake is back!

Is the Burger King in this too?

Cool, is this a new game or just a port with all characters?

All the online-y games, like Smash and Fortnite and whatever, will that only be available through the Nintendo service?

It’s definitely the Smash Wii U codebase which is the only thing that made sense anyway

i'm lame but i have never cared about those smash brothers

it would be cool as a turn-based talking game, where all of the nintendo universe talks it out on the grandest stages

this is def a new smash bros josh theres so many changes here from 4 and the graphics are a bit better

Three Links! :o

lon lon milk anyone

I’m going to bet at this point Inklings are the only newcomers at launch

Lol nope it’s Daisy

Looks nice and bonkers, this game.

Darn assist trophies deconfirming newcomers

Wonder why Dark Souls got a generic "summer 2018?" If they can't be more specific than that, doesn't that imply it could be delayed again?

nintendo might just not know yet, its not their game

Just a little strange that it went from a specific date, to Summer 2018, and weeks later the latter hasn't been updated.

i can't believe mario is fucking dead

That's-a the end-a!

December 7 dang I was hoping September

Seriously.

So the only real surprise thing was that intro giant aggro robot fighter battle thing?

Bill Trinen showing off

wait weren't you just complaining about Hollow Knight being delayed and they announced it is out now

I'm psyched for that! Not in the shop yet though.

Oh that map of the blast zone is neat

Crazy recovery on Ridley

i didn't know Fortnight was free to play. might as well check that out...

so pumped for fire emblem now after that trailer, the battle playout scenes looked real pretty

Wonder what the mechanics of the mooks are

probably just there for decoration to make it look like an epic battle

Anyway I’m glad I made it through waiting for E3 and now I can focus on waiting for Tennis and Octopath and whatever.

Trinen hosting the Treehouse in two languages is pretty charming tbqh

Tedious game-likers ads going to hate this Pokémon

*are

this looks fine idk if i care enough to play a pokemon game these days though

heh it looks kinda fun like just a colorful lite RPG.

Yeah it’s gonna sell 20 million copies

Like Pokemon GO, you have to throw the pokeball just right so that it gives them a concussion or whatever and you capture it right?
I think the classic system of fighting them until they're weak enough to capture was way more rewarding and immersive.

Or maybe I'm completely misinformed on multiple levels here.

I don’t mind revisiting Kanto or the different wild Pokémon experience but opposing trainers with one level 3 Metapod or whatever are just…

Oh wait fuck Onix is huge.

xp yeah it’s the Pokémon Go capture system. 2019 will get more traditional Pokémon games.

Just started Hollow Knight, it kicks ass. Definitely seems like the same sort of thing as Steamworld Dig 2.

Should also say I played a quick round of fortnite, but I literally had no idea what I was doing.

I tried fortnite on the XBox, but it's too hard. I think it works better with mouse/keyboard.

it seemed okay honestly, I just literally had no idea how to play it, like what button does what, or what I'm supposed to do with everything I kept finding. I asked a whole bunch of kids in the back seat during a carpool this afternoon and they set me straight.

trying to decide whether i want to play the new octopath demo that has every character's first chapter or whether that's just going to make me stir-crazy for the full game

splatoon 2 expansion out tomorrow

Get Hollow Knight y'all, trust me. It is similar to Steamworld Dig 2 (which I also love), but has at least 3x more hours of play in it, maybe more like 5x. Also lots of Dark Souls-like "lore" if you go in for that sort of thing. And just secrets upon secrets upon secrets.

I’m faintly bummed by the lack of an out-there new announcement for a game due this year. I don’t really see tentpole Nintendo releases dated for August/September/October still and with Smash slipping to December you’d think they’d want a fresh multiplayer game in September to help sell paid online, rather than just starting to charge people to play what they were already playing.

On the other hand, I don’t think I’ll run out of stuff to do this year between Octopath, Tennis, Hyrule Warriors, Captain Toad, finishing Rabbids, playing my Master Mode file on Zelda…and if I really want, Rabbids and Xenoblade DLC…

Oh I guess Super Mario Party is October
