NA Direct Overview

• ARMS: One of the biggest features in the upcoming fighting game is the ability to equip two types of customizable ARMS per fighter. These ARMS range from standard gloved ARMS to curved weapons like boomerangs. Each ARM has a special attribute like fire, ice or electricity that activates when delivering a charge punch. As players fight through the game, they will earn in-game currency that can be used to play the ARM Getter, a fun mode in which they can get new ARMS for their fighters. The fast-paced game can be played in 1-v-1 matches or even 2-v-2 for more entertainingly chaotic battles. During the Nintendo Direct presentation, a new character was also revealed: the super-fast, ramen-armed Min Min. ARMS launches exclusively for Nintendo Switch on June 16. In addition, special Neon Yellow Joy-Con controllers and Joy-Con Straps will be released separately on the same day alongside a Joy-Con AA Battery Pack accessory.

• Splatoon 2: Salmon Run, a new four-player co-op mode, is coming to the Splatoon 2 game. By teaming up with friends, players can take a part-time job battling the new Salmonid species, which the Squid Research Lab reports might even be more lethal than the Octarians! When players fall in co-op mode, teammates can revive them by inking them on the battlefield. Splatoon 2 launches exclusively for Nintendo Switch on July 21. In addition, three freshly designed individual amiibo figures for the game – a new Inkling Girl, Inkling Boy and Inkling Squid – will launch on the same day and grant special limited gear in game. By tapping these amiibo (as well as previously released Splatoon series amiibo), the figure’s character will appear in the game and befriend players. Befriend an amiibo character and it will remember favorite weapons, gear, outfits and option settings. This comes in handy when waging Turf War at a friend’s house.

• Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: When the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game launches on April 28, it will do so with more characters, karts and tracks unlocked from the start than any other game in Mario Kart history. Both traditional racing and the newly redesigned battle modes can be played in Local Wireless mode with up to eight players, and in Online or LAN mode with up to 12 players. For fans who want to show off their driving skills, Nintendo will be hosting two Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online tournaments in game. More details about these tournaments will be revealed in the future.

• Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers: Fans waiting to play this enhanced version of one of the most celebrated fighting games of all time won’t have to wait much longer! The Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers game launches for Nintendo Switch on May 26 and includes all of the classic characters and two new fighters: Evil Ryu and Violent Ken. Additionally, a “Way of the Hado” mode lets players throw HADOKENS with first-person motion controls, while an exciting two-player co-op mode gives players and a friend one health bar for intense two player vs. CPU matches.

• Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition: One of the most popular creation games of all time is coming to the Nintendo Switch console. The fan-favorite Super Mario Mash-Up pack along with new multiplayer play and control options will be included in Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition when it launches in Nintendo eShop on May 11 and in stores at a later date.

• Two Sonics, Two Styles: Nintendo Switch is getting two new Sonic games in 2017. Sonic Forces is a modern 3D take on Sonic games and follows the blue hedgehog hero as he uses his stylish high-speed moves to bring down the nefarious Eggman. Sonic and a mysterious new ally will rise up when Sonic Forces launches for Nintendo Switch this winter. Sonic Mania launches this summer and features retro 2D graphics and a host of new stages, as well as some classic stages from previous games in the Sonic the Hedgehog series.

• Project Mekuru (name not final): Players that like multiplayer action games are in for a treat when Project Mekuru launches exclusively in Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch this summer. The frantic and fun game finds up to four players battling locally or online to flip panels and blow up opponents.

• Disgaea 5 Complete: This tactical RPG franchise is beloved by many, and the definitive version of the fifth game, Disgaea 5 Complete, is coming to Nintendo Switch on May 23. Perfect for portable play, this epic RPG will launch with both standard and limited-edition versions. A free demo for the game will launch in Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch soon.

Also coming to Nintendo Switch from THQ Nordic Games is Battle Chasers: Nightwar, an RPG inspired by console classics and based on the Battle Chasers comic book series. Battle Chasers: Nightwar launches with timed exclusivity on Nintendo Switch in late summer.

• PayDay 2: In this four-player co-op game, players band together to rise to the top of the criminal world for bigger jobs and better paydays. PAYDAY 2 launches for Nintendo Switch this winter.

I think the 2 versions of the Cloud amiibo are pretty telling.

Either these 2 companies have patched things up dramatically in the last 2-3 years, or at the very least they realize that having mainline FF back on Nintendo consoles is just a smart money move.

While I don't necessarily want the Switch to simply be a cash grab for Vita titles that didn't sell, the fact that titles like Fate/Extella are being brought over is a pretty good early sign that developers are seriously giving it a "viability test" to see if its worth continued support.

I was going to get an extra dock to leave at my sister's house for family gatherings, but not for the price it goes for.

$60 for ONLY the dock. Another $30 for the Power Cord. And another $10 or so for an HDMI cable. I'd rather just buy another Switch.

I sold a second dock and accessories on eBay for $115. And I'm rather annoyed because they were going for closer to $140 at the time.

the MArio Kart Bundle seems Russian only with no plans to put it anywhere else atm

Do bear wrestlers love go karts that much more than the rest of the world?

[Guitarman]

Never played a Diseaga game before; is D5 worth picking up?

[Kirin]

Having only played Disgaea 1, I thoroughly enjoy how seriously and not seriously the game takes itself at all times.

It is a tactical game at its core, with heavy emphasis on grinding and doing a lot of 9's worth of damage. That wasn't my jam back then, and I never returned to the series.

I would assume they made some QoL improvements since 1, obviously since the game has grown in popularity a little, but it is certainly one of those titles that has to be your cup of tea for the battle system or else no matter how quirky the cast or story is, you just wont get into it.

[Zealot]

But why does Monopoly need rumble.

Wouldn't need to transfer saves since I would just bring my Switch there. I would just want the dock to be able to play on the tv when the option is there.

That comment it was said "I'll just buy a new switch" but I guess it works too

Koei Tecmo is developing Switch exclusive titles. Not just previously released titles with new features.

Jason Schreier reporting he received leaked art assets confirming Mario x Rabbids RPG due out in August or September: http://kotaku.com/source-the-rumored...ing-1794849712

Ubisoft is developing Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle on the publisher’s proprietary Snowdrop engine, according to the assets we’ve seen. The game’s selling points appear to be a) turn-based combat, b) two-player local co-op, and c) a goofy sense of humor. (The art we’ve seen features Mario and crew wielding laser beams.) The game will apparently have eight playable characters: Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, and, bizarrely, four Rabbids dressed up as Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Peach.
