So Hori is making a fight stick for the Switch already. This means we'll have some fighting games to look forward to on the Switch. This makes me happy. Happy

Smash, then Tekken. Then nothing till the next Nintendo console.

So some rumours for y'all before the reveal. This youtube annoying douche is saying Metroid is being made for Switch but not by Retro Studios - but he is backed up by Liam Robertson aka Unseen 64 guy.

Emily Rogers is now saying that one of the Wii U ports she said was coming to Switch (Smash/Mario Kart/Splatoon/Mario Maker) is NO longer a port and is a full fledged sequel instead. She says 16 new tracks are coming to Mario Kart 8 Switch so lets say we can take that out of the equation.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

GDC State of the Industry: Devs optimistic about Nintendo Switch, 3% developing
Today, January 12, 2017, UBM published its GDC State of the Industry, and the report contains some interesting details regarding Nintendo Switch:

Results from the fifth annual Game Developers Conference State of the Industry Survey are in, revealing trends in the games industry based on the feedback of more than 4,500 game developers ahead of GDC 2017 in February and March.


Nintendo’s new Switch console is also expected to debut this year, so it’s

interesting that 3 percent of respondents said they’re currently working on a

game that will release on Switch and 5 percent said they expect their next game

will be released on Switch.

Game makers are feeling optimistic about

Nintendo’s new Switch console

Nintendo is expected to release its hybrid portable/home console,

the Switch, this March, and the game makers we surveyed seem

cautiously optimistic about the platform’s chances.


When polled about whether or not they thought the Switch would

outsell Nintendo’s Wii U (which has an install base of roughly 13

million, worldwide) in its lifetime, 50 percent said yes, the Switch

will outperform the Wii U. 14 percent predicted it wouldn’t, and 37

percent admitted they had no idea.


The Switch’s ability to...switch between a portable mode and a docked home

console mode is the console’s core selling point, but survey respondents seem

unsure about whether that feature will resonate with the public. 48 percent said

they thought it might, but that it doesn’t seem to be world-changing, while 19

percent said yes, the Switch is the right product for the right time.


11 percent figured people wouldn’t be interested in the core premise of the

Switch, and 23 percent said they didn’t know how it would be received

upon launch.

I honestly couldn't care less about Half-life 3, but I would like to see HL2: Episode 3 only because I fucking hate cliffhanger endings.

Not too shabby. Games that interest me on that list are:

  1. Zelda: Breath of the Wild
  2. Super Mario Odyssey
  3. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
  4. Ultra Street Fighter 2? I'm assuming that that's actually supposed to be 5. If so sign me up.
  5. Disgaea 5 maybe

That's pretty good start.

That list is only for games playable at one specific European event according to the leaker.

So there could be more announced that aren't there playable.

Also you aren't buying Splatoon 2? SHAME ON YOU

Smash is a given and Tekken 7 seems likely unless it was already announced and I just forgot about it. I'm hoping Street Fighter V and Marvel vs Capcom Infinite also make it over as well.

Oh ok. I'm hoping that that'll be the launch lineup. No Splatoon 2 for, it's just something that doesn't interest me enough.

I'm very skeptical about Street Fighter on Switch, but I'd love to see it. Nintendo is making big moves into the competitive gaming scene so it would make sense. And that's pretty much my thoughts on why it won't happen. Too logical.

You suck period. WTF are you complaining about now. The article says 3% of respondents are developing games on switch, that's not even math that's just a number.

Oh the zero support, ha ha ha... not funny. Nyaa
