And the only series taken even remotely serious from a competitive pov isn't included.

lol, i dont want to seem like a hater in a nintendo thread, but ill come out and say, im not really impressed since it their "competitions" are just e-celebs from youtube and twitch and there's no real prize pool or prestige involved. not to mention the snub of series that is taken even remotely seriously competitive

Press Release

Today, Electronic Arts revealed the first feature details of EA Sports FIFA 18 on the Nintendo Switch console. The game delivers an authentic and immersive football experience, allowing fans to play the world's game anytime, anywhere.

This new edition brings the modes fans know and love, including FIFA Ultimate Team, Career Mode, Kick Off and Local Seasons, making it the deepest portable game ever to be introduced by EA Sports FIFA. Ultimate Team fans will get to participate in beloved features like Squad Building Challenges, Online and Offline Seasons, Tournaments, and Draft. Players will enjoy live campaigns connected to the narrative of the football season, the Transfer Market, and more Ultimate Team features that will be revealed very soon.

"FIFA 18 on Nintendo Switch is the best FIFA you can take with you anywhere, play anytime and with anyone," said Producer, Andrei Lăzărescu. "We're delivering the immersive and authentic experience that fans expect from FIFA, while leveraging innovative ways to play both at home and on the go with Nintendo Switch."

The game takes advantage of the console's unique portability, allowing players to enjoy the game in docked, handheld or tabletop mode, and utilizing local multiplayer connection for Local Seasons. Multiple control schemes are also featured, so whether you prefer to play handheld, dual Joy-Con™, single Joy-Con or Pro Controller, there's an option to fit your playstyle.

The game delivers the most technologically-advanced portable FIFA experience ever, outputting 1080p resolution when docked and 720p on handheld. Players are the most realistic they've ever been due to new Physically Based Player Rendering, and immersive, 3D environments that bring the pitch to life.

Rumour that Xenoblade 2 still for 2017

http://gonintendo.com/stories/282342...2-still-on-for

We have had quite a number of sources reach out to us about Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Following up on our GameStop information, these sources say they can confirm that the game is still slated for a 2017 release. Since we shared the GameStop inside info and said it was subject to change, I thought it the right thing to do to update you guys on this new round of info. To be clear, the info on Xenoblade Chronicles 2 still being on for 2017 comes from multiple people, none of them the same as my GameStop source.

[Kaslo]

Well we should find out in 25 hours... but if it does come out then 2017 might be the most bonkers release year in recent memory.

[Kirin]

If it is 2017, then its LATE december. No way Nintendo is going to let anything compete with Mario Odyssey for that ~35-40 day window.

Implosion being ported to Switch

Implosion, the smartphone action RPG from Deemo and Cytus developers Rayark, is coming to Switch via the Nintendo eShop in Japan in July for 1,111 yen, the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu reveals.

The game puts players in control of the “WM-III” battle suit, through which you’ll battle using skills and stylish actions. Difficult inputs are entirely unnecessary. The controls are simple—the Y button is used for consecutive attacks, and the X button is used for heavy attacks. Actions will change depending on the timing of the attack. By equipping “Arks,” which you obtain during the game, you can strengthen the WM-III and create a battle suit all your own.

Champion Jockey Special - September 14, 2017 in Japan

Champion Jockey is an action game series in which players aim for the top of the horse racing world. It is a fusion between the Tecmo brand’s Gallop Racer and the Koei brand’s G1 Jockey games.

In story mode, players will make their debut as a newcomer jockey and compete against rival jockeys. The goal is to build up your victories and become the leading jockey.

The data from the 2017 Japanese Derby is included in the game. Six years following the release of the previous game, over 2,500 racehorses are being added.

When mounting your horse, there are three possible mount styles:

• Gallop Racer Style – A style that stresses importance on the feeling of exhilaration. It’s easy to play with simple controls.
• G1 Jockey Style – A style that stresses importance on realism. The most trivial of controls are necessary.
• Custom Style – With this style, you can combine the Gallop Racer and G1 Jockey styles in your own special way.

Depending on the season and weather, the scenery will change. There will also be obstacle races.
