Wtf? There's no way they'd actually launch that many. Even if they were game bundles, there wouldn't be 16.

TheUndertaker852969d ago

It’s not about new systems but rather new titles for Switch

Fullmetalevolust2969d ago

They look like possible E3 announcements and based on the pricing, they look like games. Some of them full priced games, so AAA, perhaps.

TheUndertaker852969d ago

The document in the story is labeled “SWITCH SOFTWARE UPCOMING RELEASES” at the top. It’s a list of software, not hardware. Prices are all $59.99.

G3ng4r2969d ago

Hopefully I don't want any more than five of them.. Only have so much free time.

Neonridr2969d ago

If you look at the photo all the SKUS have game pricing, not console pricing. Clearly it's referring to individual game titles.

porkChop2969d ago

It's confusing because they refer to them as Switch SKUs. Pretty much any other time that wording would mean consoles.

TheUndertaker852969d ago

To me SKU is just vague. While SKU in context here refers to software coming the title does not isolate itself to just software. Hardware also carries a SKU. The description here on N4G doesn’t help either.

I don’t fault the person adding the story here but Nintendo Everything for making it appear as such without a click required. I do however again wish the person who posted the story here would add in the fact that it’s software.

CBaoth2968d ago

A sku is simply the UPC barcode on the back of an product sold. It can refer to anything. It helps any retailer differentiate between products when ordering from a manufacturer or vendor

TheUndertaker852969d ago (Edited 2969d ago )

May I request one thing?

I understand you transferred the title and description from Nintendo Everything but can you add in the fact that it is game listings, not console listings? Both have SKUs so I thought it odd they’d be releasing 16 new variations of the console.

However the story is about new titles coming to Switch.

Cmv382969d ago

You got a down vote for being helpful lol

G3ng4r2969d ago

Yeah, there are some fanatical ones here. That Lime123 toddler is gone at least. Got angry and pm'd me so I was a little mean and he left twenty days ago. Kind of miss triggering him really but there are plenty more where he came from.

Neonridr2969d ago

well anyone who actually looks at the photo can clearly see, based on the pricing, that it's referring to games. Technically not everything has to be spelled out before hand. I get what you are saying, but people should be big enough to actually read the article before making up their minds.

TheUndertaker852969d ago (Edited 2969d ago )

But isn’t that allowing the story, particularly here on N4G, to be very clickbait worthy? It’s just misleading and it’s simple to edit to save confusion and add context.

porkChop2969d ago

Exactly. That wording made it sound like consoles, so it didn't make any sense.

strayanalog2969d ago

I am still in shock to see The World Ends with You listed under a 59.99 price. Maybe I'll wait a bit before I purchase.

Fullmetalevolust2969d ago

Even code of princess is 39.99 and that's a 3ds games.
From the footage they released of TWEWY, it does look like a major overhaul of the graphics, just an HD port.
39.99 would be fair.

The new content for the TWEWY Switch version was detailed in the Direct in which it aired.
You might want to go back and review it just for informative purposes, if not for fun.

To be fair, it has new story content, characters, items, etc, so it's not just a straight port.
They've put work into it.

This is awesome. A lot of new games are gonna be shown.

Mr Marvel2969d ago

Please one of them be Animal Crossing Switch.

Fullmetalevolust2969d ago

Too bad it isn't released before the summer, I'd love to bum out on a very hot summer day and just play it all day long.

G3ng4r2969d ago

1. Nintendo has stated that their mobile game was designed to play nice with their console game. Since wii u has been dead this doesn't refer to that silly board game.
2. The animal crossing website recently became a broken mess full of place holders as if to be updated with something new.
3. Nintendo filed a new trademark for the ip as reported back in january.

I can nearly guarantee you animal crossing for switch will be at e3.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle59d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
