You must've not owned a 64 at launch where we had only 2 games for the first month. Thanks to digital distribution, you can check out indie games on the system. They do help fill in the gaps and the majority aren't bad.
I recommend Snake Pass, Fast Racing RMX, SnipperClips, Shovel Knight, and Blaster Master Zero.
Abriael caught my mistake; PS4 released February while Wii U was November. Thanks for the catch
I really enjoy the portability of it all; especially as someone who travels a lot.
As a kid, I always hoped for a console I can take anywhere and this is shaping up to be great so far; Nintendo just needs to make sure they keep a steady flow of games coming. That will be the determining factor for its success.
Refer to Neonridr's comment. Both PS4 and Wii U launched during Japanese holiday; Switch did not.
Also take into account Nintendo manufactured a lot more Wii U consoles than Switch at launch and it bit them in the butt profit-wise.
Even in the U.K, once stock was coming back, sales saw an increase by 50%, similar to Japan.
Nintendo needs to keep production up and have release dates for Splatoon 2, Monster Hunter, Pokémon, and Animal Cr...
Definitely; it's a very enjoyablr game with lots of funny references. I'm hoping the load times have been dramatically improved
Nintendo has confirmed at least 1 new IP this E3 and Retro has been silent since February 2014 so they have to have something to show; at least I hope so.
A few of my friends are loving every minute of it. People have their preferences and will enjoy a game series no matter how much negativity surrounds it. For example, I actually know a small group of people who enjoy Duke Nukem Forever. To each their own is what I say.
Edit: I'm not comparing Mass Effect to Duke Nukem; just saying everyone has a different opinion on what they consider a good or fun game
Animal Crossing and either Mario Party or a Wii Party-type game. Those sell very well in Japan, too.
A Pokémon game, Monster Hunter, details on GameCube virtual console, a new IP, Animal Crossing, and as a surprise, Metroid Prime or whatever Retro Studios is working on.
I'm mostly hoping to see Monster Hunter and Pokémon personally
If I remember correctly, retailers will not stock your game if it is offered at a lower price digitally. Maintaining a common pricepoint pleases retailers and, of course, publishers.
I personally believe digital should be cheaper but I can somewhat understand; although I always buy physical if I can
I honestly have no idea but Warner Bros. have proven themselves to be a bunch of hacks in the past (PC versions of Arkham Knight, MKX, Return to Arkham "remasters" that look like the 360/PS3 originals), so this seems like form for them.
Simple solution is do not support this.
Statement from Warner Bros.:
"Players who purchase Lego City Undercover on Nintendo Switch at retail do not need to download the game to play."
Good choices. I'd personally love a new Kirby AirRide, Wonderful 101 sequel, and, of course, Metroid Prime.
I would also include Punch-Out but I feel they'll be more focused on Arms for now
Such a fun puzzle game. Hope they bring Qbby to Switch
The last game my friend is getting for his PS3. He's been waiting a long time for this game
"Our focus is on notable retail releases so forgive us if we miss an indie release or two."
They are focused on retail releases for this article.
You guys forgot Lego City Undercover. Game releases April 4th and if the load times have been improved, I highly recommend it
Keep up production, release Mario and Pokémon this year with a Monster Hunter announcement and it may be possible. Don't shoot yourself in the foot with out-of-reach predictions if you don't have the software prepared to back you up
Kimishima never said that; he stated he believes it could sell as well as the Wii did, not beyond it.
This article also links to a past article of theirs stating Kimishima saying the Wii U would sell 100 million when he also never said that either. He stated someone at Nintendo predicted 100 million for Wii U but he personally felt it wouldn't be possible without proper marketing and a clear message to consumers. He actually predicted its demise.

Well I would've read your article if you didn't try to force an app on me so I can't.
Nintendo has a history of showing exact numbers for their reports; just wait for it cause it'll be coming soon enough. All we know so far is 2 million consoles were shipped in March.
