Nintendo Switch

Yeah, I didn't expect it to bomb, but I think most people assumed it would be a niche title rather than being a huge hit.

"Niche" varies. From what I saw, most expected it to sell maybe 1mil—not a blockbuster but not super niche ever.

Reggie insists there'll be more than just Luigi's Mansion 3 and Animal Crossing.

Might we hear something at this year's Game Awards? (Like more deets on Bayonetta 3 or NieR: Automata for Switch?)

Of course there was going to be more then Animal Crossing and Luigi's Mansion next year. It'd be ridiculous for Nintendo to only release 2 games.

I, too, am curious as to what they're gonna do next year beyond AC and LM though.

TGA is gonna have a Prime 4 trailer. Maybe even Prime trilogy port.

Well we already know Fire Emblem is coming next year so that, Animal Crossing, and Luigi's Mansion 3 are definitely going to be worth getting.

And Pokemon 2019, assuming that's still on schedule.

Pokemon 2019 I expect next November.

Luigi's Mansion 3 next October.

Animal Crossing? Depends on Fire Emblem and Yoshi, but expecting it June.

Give me my damn prime 4 already

I want news on Pikmin 4 already.

They tried to crowdfund it, but it didn't work out.

What team with relations with Nintendo could be a good fit for Eternal Darkness? Considering their work in Fatal Frame and the good relations with Nintendo they've built with the Warriors spin offs, I'd say Koei Tecno might work out as a possible dev for a sequel.

My first thought was Capcom given their experience with horror titles like Resident evil

I'd say Platinum Games, because that's where Shinji Mikami is right now.

I thought he was at the company that made The Evil Within.

Nintendo stocks dive alongside nVidia's after nVidia's earnings report suggest Nintendo hasn't bought many Tegra X1's this past quarter because Nintendo was stocking up for the holiday season.

"Random rumor causes economic problems."

I hate the stock market.

I wish the media would stop treating the stock market as if the performance of the stocks was the important thing to anybody except traders.

Question about two Switch games. How good are Starlink: Battle for Atlas and Mario + Rabbids?

While I haven't played either of them, I've heard very goods things about both of them.

Starlink: Battle for Atlas is a hodgepodge between Star Fox, Xenoblade Chronicles X, XCOM 2, and No Man's Sky, in a good way. My only gripe is that the Legion's activity is really lax even on higher difficulties, and the game itself is relatively short.

No need for gyro/double screen controls though. Thank fucking god.

If I were to buy it which edition of it should I buy? There's a starter pack, a digital version and a digital deluxe version and they all cost a lot.

The Arwing toy is pretty cool but I'm not sure I want to bother with the Toys to Life stuff.

Digital Deluxe. It's only $5 more expensive than the physical Starter Kit, and it has all the non-exclusive weapons, ships, and pilots. The basic Digital version also has more than the physical version, but the season pass equivalent is $60 as a standalone thing, and it's the extra $20 in the Deluxe version's price. Also, with the digital versions, you don't need to mess with the stand grip or keeping track of the toys.

The only downsides to the digital versions are that you're locked out of using the physical toys, and you have to pause to swap out gear.

It's over a hundred dollars Canadian so I think I'll have to wait for a discount. Thanks for the heads up.
