Nintendo Switch

I think the 5 games means games with physical releases, not those with digital ones as well.

[Roz~]

Well okay that's great and all, but it's only launching with 5 games, only one of which is appealing to more than a casual audience (unless the Bomberman fanbase is actually rabid, I have zero knowledge of the franchise).

Remember how many launch titles the Wii U had? 32. And then what happened? The infamous Wii U games drought. I'm assuming they want to pace their releases better, which is why there are less launch titles for the Switch. If they release decent games every couple of months I think they'll be fine.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

am I alone in thinking a second splatoon is idiotic?  The current servers are already small enough

[E. Gadd Industries]

Eh, never really got into it myself. Is there a drastically different mechanic from the first one?

[mikey]

new guns new stages
same old crap

[SlowPokemon]

I mean it's a good game I just don't care

[Dudeman]

I don't mind that it's essentially an upgraded clone of the first game because the first game was fantastic. I like to think of this as a port to the Switch with a crapton of added features, which is fine by me.

[mikey]

but it's an exclusively online game.  Making a second game that isn't the same as the first splits the playerbase

[SlowPokemon]

It's not exclusively online any more than Mario Kart is

[mikey]

um, yes it is.  The core gameplay is the 4v4 battle, not the story mode.  Mario Kart is the same whether or not you go online

tbh, do we have enough info to be bashing it yet? what if they actually fix their 1 player campaign this time around?

Nope^
I believe it's old hat.

[K-NiGhT]

nah y'all are wrong splatoon is dope

[mikey]

splatoon is one of my favorite wii U games.  How are none of you understanding my point?

Me: A second splatoon is a bad idea, the people playing the first one won't be able to start a match
You guys: Splatoon was great, this one will also be good
Me: I know splatoon is great, I'm saying a second splatoon is a bad idea when the game is already predominantly online
You guys: but splatoon is good, you shouldn't bash the sequel yet
Me: I'm not bashing the sequel, the servers are just too small to support both games
Seabass: I agree, splatoon 2 is just gonna be the same as the first
Me: gives up?
