With Nintendo handling the retail release, and it featuring a 16GB card, that might be a long wait.
Yeah, I don't expect a price drop on this (or Skyrim) for awhile.

I don't think that the selection stacks up. Breath of the Wild is one of my favorite games of all time, and Odyssey may well join that selection. Splatoon 2 is great. Fire Emblem is a musou game, and fans will like it. I'd personally add Mario + Rabbids to the list as well. It's a very good first year for Nintendo titles.
I'm glad that people are enjoying their Switches. I am too. It irks me a little bit when people use a bunch of late ports to support their claim that the system has the best lineup ever. Looking at the PS2 list, I see 5+ landmark titles, and I don't think that the Switch's original lineup is able to match the diversity on display here.
What are the prices of Skyrim in the past six years it's been out? $5?
Millions for Doom on a Nintendo console a year later for $60? Doubt it. I can't wait to try it, but at a reasonable price.Something like that. But millions bought it for $60 last year.
And many will do that for DOOM too.

Don't think he said that Doom Switch would sell millions, at least not here (not sure what hidden post history he has in his closet!).Millions for Doom on a Nintendo console a year later for $60? Doubt it. I can't wait to try it, but at a reasonable price.
Still $40. As a console version this is objectively worse in every way, it having a handheld version is its sole advantage and why I'm buying it. For $60 that's silly, especially as the game's been as low as $12 elsewhere for a much better playing version that notably doesn't half the frame rate.
If the Switch was anyone's main console, sure, but be real. It's been readily available for 1/5th of the price on other systems that play it better. Being able to play it at 30 FPS on a console isn't worth $60 to me and sounds silly to defend.

I own this on PS4 and would prefer Switch as I hardly have time to settle down in front of a screen anymore.
My only issue is, yes, the price. You can buy the PS4 copy in the UK for £9.99. Amazon is selling the Switch game for 5x the price of that. I'd of insta-bought at even £29.99, but alas, until then I'll wait for a sale.
Any word on the classic DOOM centered weapon positioning? With the gun in the middle of the screen?
Misread, my apologies.Many =/= millions
I have no such skeletons in my closet thank you very much
In general I shy away from making predictions, especially with concrete numbers. Mainly cause I suck at doing so.
It's essentially the top PS2 games for the entire year. GT3, for example, launched in April or July, depending on where you lived.
The back half of 2001 was great for the PS2, but you had to suffer through 2000 and the first half of 2001 to get there. PS2 had a pretty terrible launch window.
I really really really really really dont get how yall out here buying Ninty MSRP games with no GCU.....
I mean yall damn near drop 150+ on games a year, why the hell do you not have GCU?
I agree that the PS4 launch was thoroughly underwhelming. And I am totally fine with people getting excited for remakes/ports. I am excited for Doom and Skyrim as well. I was purely referring to people that claim the fall line-up for Switch matches the PS2 offering, and using a bunch of ports to justify said claim.Fair enough! I played BoTW on Wii U and still have only played 2 games on Switch- Splatoon 2 and Pokken Tournament Deluxe. I can't comment therefore on any of the other games though ARMS and Mario + Rabbids in particular seem to have struck a chord with a lot of people, and both were absent from that original list along with Pokken. Looking forward to the next couple of weeks which will see my library of games double lol.
But yeah only time will tell if this lineup goes down in history, like I said the fact that it's even debatable at all is impressive. We'll just have to wait and see, though obviously opinions and all, there's still at least one user's here who believes Nintendo haven't improved their output of quality games from the first year of the Wii U at all so like always we get all sorts of opinions eh?
Albeit I don't see why people liking ports/remakes/remasters 'irks' you. The only game I played on the PS4's first year that I really, really liked was The Last of Us for example, and I will have to apologise in advance for if/when I buy Skyrim on Switch and if I like it and bring it up, because for one reason or another I just haven't played that game yet. It's nothing to get upset about surely?
Seems the game now has motion controls.

Maxrunner do you want to make the thread for this? This is definitely big news, especially when they had previously said they would not add motion controls.
Amazing, I hope it will be well implemented.Seems the game now has motion controls.

I saw the options screen, but I don't want to get too excited yet. I feel like Nintendo and Bethesda would have advertised this feature. Maybe it's just basic "waggle" for melee moves or something and not full gyro? Boy I hope it's really gyro aiming....
I assume it would work like in zelda bow aiming?

There aren't any melee moves unless you're counting the Glory Kills, but those are more like canned animations you trigger with a button press. I suppose that could be activated with a "waggle." It could still be BotW-style aiming, though, which would be ideal. BotW-style aiming could help with aim adjust.I saw the options screen, but I don't want to get too excited yet.

That motion controls option was in the first preview build journalists saw last month. 99 percent sure the only thing it does is let you shake the right JoyCon to do melee attacks and Glory Kills. I played the game with the motion controls setting on and that's all it did.

All within a timeframe of two months

Over 20 years ago, DOOM 64 released on the Nintendo 64. On November 10, we're excited to bring #DOOM (2016) to #NintendoSwitch. #TBT
Hurt me plenty if old.
Oh man, how I wish they add Doom 64 in, that would be so awesome.
