The online service is getting pretty mixed reviews at the moment, but Nintendo just announced quite a few really promising games, including a new Luigi's Mansion and ANIMAL CROSSING… finally! Both coming out next year. Between those, Fire Emblem, Yoshi's Crafted World and Daemon x Machina, 2019 is looking really good.

That Mario + Rabbids RPG is out in a couple of weeks, too, and a bit more third-party stuff (FIFA, NBA, WWE, Skyrim, Rocket League) is due later in the year. Another JRPG got announced for the system, too - it's getting the latest Atelier game towards the end of the year!

It's not just console but technology in general.

I've always been more of a portable gamer so the switch has been amazing.

Nintendo is back baby.

The switch is a sexy piece of hardware.

I bought the Switch a couple of weeks ago, after scouring the earth to find a store that hadn't outsold them.

I really like it, it's incredibly user-friendly. It's fast, it's easy, it just has Breath of the Wild going for it, which means that I'm finally forced to finish the game before jumping into my next adventure.

But it's not exactly perfect… I think that with most consoles, jumping in early leaves you open to some technical troubles. The buttons on my joy-con, for instance, have already displayed some technical problems. I'm no button-masher, but still they've quickly started to show signs of struggle after playing Breath of the Wild. So I had to bring my joy-cons back.

It's one of those things that happens a lot when there is a new product on the market. In hindsight, I'm still happy as a peach, but I think I should have waited perhaps a couple of more months for a new batch.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe got great reviews and there are some really interesting indie titles on the console (I've got my eye on Kamiko). Of course, there probably won't be a lot of new announcements before E3 next month, but Reggie Fils-Aime (head of Nintendo America) hinted at some sort of Metroid announcement, so that might be on the cards!

I saw on one of the tech blogs that some guy who pre-ordered already received his unit from some retailer who shipped too early.  Of course he has no games for it so it's basically a doorstop.

The story seems to be different. He bought it from someone who bought it from someone else who had stolen some units at his work. The guy who showed us the Nintendo Switch got contacted by Nintendo. He needed to return the Nintendo Switch, otherwise he would be sued. He couldn't handover a receipt from the Switch. So he lost his money and his Nintendo Switch.

Yeah, they really messed up a lot of things, for example the The Legend of Zelda game they promised and is going to be released on the Switch first. I'm really unsure if I will be the new console. I'll have to wait to see the reactions and more details after its release to make a decision.

Nah, it's coming out on Switch and Wii U at the same time. I get why they'd be bringing it to Switch, though - I don't think anything was going to turn around Wii U sales, but with Switch they've got a clean slate, better marketing and better tech. Having Zelda as a launch title will help them a lot.

I've pre-ordered mine - along with Zelda and 1-2-Switch. I'll be getting Snipperclips if it's available at launch, too, I can't wait to try that one!

I'm so turned off with Nintendo since the Wii U.  They messed up so many things with that console.  I'll be skipping this one.  It's time they make Mario available on other platforms.

I miss a new Donkey Kong and a new Metroid.

We NEED a new metroid as great as Prime, i have the feeling that they forget this awesome  story for only the Lord knows  why

Lots of games have been announced! Granted, many of them are out on other consoles already (pretty normal for a new console), but there are still some interesting exclusives coming out this year.

Snipperclips is out at (or close to) launch, and looks really special:

And a new Fire Emblem next year, too. Also a Splatoon sequel and an upgraded port of Mario Kart 8 this year!
