Switch worries

I'm not too worried.

It's definitely cool to know that the Switch will get at least one competent first-person shooter, but that shooter is Doom, and this is a world with both Borderlands AND Shadow Warrior... Doom has a big name, but that's not usually what matters to me.

I haven't been following Xenoblade Chronicles 2, so I didn't know anything about it before the stream, and I'm pleasantly surprised by the visuals... Except that unless I'm missing something, the playable cast looks repulsive. The character design for all the playable characters shown in the trailer - except the white animal friend - is atrocious. There's just no way around it, I don't think I have ever seen a worse character design in an A game before. And then it doesn't help that apparently the gameplay can only be "felt", so a video would never make it justice.

Despite how previous Super Mario [something] games have been at least good, I'm not going to expect much out of Odyssey. Something about it just looks off.

Octopath Traveler may have been the only good surprise there, but even after playing the demo I can't tell if it will head in an interesting direction.

And Lyn in Fire Emblem Warriors is just miserable.

One issue I'm feeling right now is that the Ps4 got that one exclusive game that justified people's purchases rather early, even if it was a single game in a sea of whatever. The Switch may not get that game this year yet.

But overall I'm glad this Nintendo Direct happened after I got a Switch.

I had a WiiU almost two years ago, sold it within 2 months. Only played Bayonetta 2 Tag Climax on the thing. I think nintendo's consoles are not a good option these days, an age where you can game on pretty much everything, for a fraction of the price of nintendo's bad, yet relatively expensive hardware.
Fortunately, i had bought the WiiU used, and only lost 20$ on the resale. At least something good came out of it.

As for the switch, it doesn't look good for its future, its selling ok, but this is how it goes for nintendo consoles, they sell ok in their honeymoon phase, then it drops drastically. Most 3rd party developers are ignoring the console, most big name games are skipping the console, getting old ports from last year and before is a deja vu of the WiiU.
I feel sorry for you, spidershinobi

I have never played a bad Xeno game.  I place my faith in this team.  If I am disappointed, I will let you know.

What about Worldwide?

I don't "regret" owning a Switch, but the library is really bad.
Nintendo fans often have this stance of holding every N-exclusive game in high regard, so the hype for games that are either too niche (like Xenoblade Chronicles) or not good enough for anything tends to remain super high in comparison to what it would have been if the same game had been announced for any other platform instead. Because of that most of what Nintendo has had to say these past months has had a negative effect on me, and overall I feel that this is very close to Nintendo's vision handling the Ps4, although that one doesn't have much going for it in terms of hardware.

About Octopath Traveler, I suppose people who specifically enjoy Final Fantasy games will like that one, but that's about it. Btw they sent surveys to people who played the demo, so make sure you answer it!

Now, there is one hidden positive in the Fire Emblem Warriors trailer. Despite the retarded inclusion of Lyn in the roster for all the huge crybaby elitists, people spotted a character who hasn't been leaked or commented on behind a more relevant character, so that may mean the roster won't be that restricted.

Just a friendly reminder that the Switch has only been out for half a year...
