Mario, 1-2 Switch, Bomberman, Splatoon 2, Arms, Snipperclippers, Has Real Heroes, Xenoblade, Fire Emblem Warriors so far. Though I doubt the last two will make it for 2017.

Putting all the games together like that and 2017 Switch line up actually looks promising, despite what the naysayers think

CiDeRmAn · 15-01-2017 5:26pm

Early adopters, and I have been that soldier again and again, really form a tiny minority of the eventual install base of a console.
In fact, it'd be fairer to say, that the bulk of people Nintendo hope to attract to the Switch will be buying into the format in 2018 and beyond.
So, the paucity of launch day titles is a pity, but the bulk of console owners won't be affected in any way.

Developers Daedalic have said their new game State Of Mind will be out on the Switch later this year.

Master edition isn't being released here, and I think scalpers have snatched a lot of the international pre orders. The special edition is available in GameStop?

Thanks for the quick reply is it been released in the uk or is it just a North American release?dont think I'd have enough interest in the standard collectors edition especially at €100 just really wanted the master sword statue pity really.

North America and Japan I think. The special edition in GameStop has the statue, but not the case.

Can't seem to find it on the Gamestop site but I rang Gamestop yesterday and they said that the special edition was up on the system but it had no price yet.I thought that the special edition over here came with everything apart from the statue are you 100% sure it comes with the statue

I didn't see that, my bad.

Would love to see Stardew Valley get a release this year.

Yeah looks like a perfect fit for the Switch. Axiom Verge, Inside and some other indies would be great too.

druss · 16-01-2017 12:05pm

Where does Binding of Isaac fit in the release calendar? Is that a day 1 as well?

'Spring' release. Which presumably means by the end of May ish.

Seems to be some new features on port of Lego city undercover.

NBA2K18 is out in the UK in September, hooray.

Is that like nba jam?

Banjo · 18-01-2017 3:02pm

Jam is cartoony hi-velocity arcade basketball. Comparing it to NBA 2018 would be like comparing Sensible Soccer to Fifa 18.

ie. I'm not saying either game is better or "proper", its just a different experience.

CiDeRmAn · 18-01-2017 8:57pm

Sensible Soccer is better than all da Fifaz.

MilesMorales1 · 18-01-2017 9:04pm

Mario Strikers is the only football game needed.

Nintendo World Cup would beg to differ.

And maybe Megaman soccer.

MilesMorales1 · 18-01-2017 11:10pm

Fire Emblem Warriors will be out in Autumn 2017! Traditional fire emblem game out for the switch in 2018.

MilesMorales1 · 18-01-2017 11:43pm

Binding of Issac is a launch game!

By now you’ve hopefully heard that The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ is coming to Nintendo Switch in retail form. What does it mean?
It means that there is more than just The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on launch. Afterbirth+ will be available at retail as well as on the Nintendo eShop for $39.99 and will include Rebirth, Afterbirth and Afterbirth+ packed together as one game.
You might want to consider pre-ordering as the first few thousand copies may come backed in with something special

http://bindingofisaac.com/

The boxed version as well, in the states anyway. No idea if we're getting a boxed one.

sligeach · 19-01-2017 2:24pm

Konami the dirty ****ers have the gall to charge $50 for Super Bomberman R.

Banjo · 19-01-2017 2:28pm

That's gonna hurt them. Sell it for 15-20 quid and I'm buying it on release. For that price I want it bundled with Joy Cons. I'd buy it twice!

On the bright side, when it inevitably drops in price just before christmas it's going to make a great accompanyment to sitting around eating leftovers. "Who's turn is it to grab some mince pies?" Kaboooooom! "Fine... but don't start the next round without me..."
