More remasters incoming

Well that's no surprise, Switch owners don't really have any other games to play

Local multiplayer also helps. People will be buying it to show off that feature.

No mediacreate this week apparently.  Think we have to wait until next Monday or Tuesday.  But then we'll get another one soon after on the Wednesday.  So 2 in a few days.

I saw someone on Reddit not only proclaim that the Switch would outsell the Wii but also that every Nintendo franchise that would release on the system would break sales records for Nintendo as well (so Pokemon Switch = best selling Pokemon game ever etc.). Of course that comment was upvoted.

That's why I said a couple months ago that the next few months would be kinda annoying, there's a lot of really delusional Nintendo fans out there and they are god dang obnoxious about it as well.

[the-pi-guy]

Nintendo's stocks are higher than the Wii U.  There's a lot more confidence.  

[ethomaz]

Nintendo fans are like that in any place...

Yeah exactly.

Switch does seem to be doing great but Nintendo fans just want to live in an echo chamber of celebration. This has been happening so much nowadays it's disgusting. Xbox E3 games are having it happen, Scorpio was having it happen, and No Man's sky had it happen. When you get to the point where fans are making exaggerated "hate" posts as jokes but other fans think they're legit, it's a feedback loop that spirals into more trash.



If ARMS gets good reviews, I think it'll be a Splatoon level success. It's already developed a large following and just has a great artistic setup.

[darkknightkryta]

We can't really judge until Nintendo gets their stock in order.  Wii sold 90 million in 3 yearsish, something the ps4 didn't do.  But the Wii also died after 3 years due to a lack of software and I honestly believe the Switch will reach that lack of software point earlier.
