    • I agree! If they had announced an Animal Crossing for Switch, that would have changed my mind, but I think all the announcements were solid and I’m glad they are looking to support this system far better than they did the Wii U.

  1. I was waiting for switch Pokémon game to buy one, so here we are! But there was absolutely nothing to show, so I don’t expect for a release so soon.

    Odyssey looks pretty good, but I can’t buy a Switch now and I already a lot to play in other consoles, so I will not hype this too much, lol.

    Good presentation for Nintendo, short and sweet while giving the Pokémon and Metroid announcements everybody wanted. Rocket League is also a nice fit for the console.

    • I am just so glad they at least said they were working on one. I hope this means Nintendo now understands that even if nothing is shown, just confirming it is happening is a good start.

      Odyssey looks bonkers and I love it! I’m also not ready to buy a Switch, but I feel like the software support is heading the right direction.

      I completely agree. Short, sweet, and promising.

      Also, two Metroid announcements in one day!! Metroid fans must be bouncing off the walls!

  2. I was really disappointed, no Animal Crossing and more of the same kind of games that seem to rule the Switch. I guess I’ll have to look at third parties for a Switch game that I might like. I know a lot of people are over the moon with the many platformers and action games announced, but it’s just not my cup of tea…

    • Aww, I’m sorry. :( I was really hoping for an Animal Crossing announcement, too. I feel like if they are making a Switch Pokemon game, they are likely working on a Switch Animal Crossing. I mean, people LOVE those games. Here’s hoping!
