Has there ever been a worse launch lineup from Nintendo? $450 dollars for this shit? $90 games? WTF?

Has there ever been a worse launch lineup from Nintendo? $450 dollars for this shit? $90 games? WTF?

I hate to tell you but that shit will still sell in great numbers nintendo doesnt give a fuck

DK and Mario Kart at launch is perfectly fine for first party launch offerings. The issue is solely the price.

You must be too young to remember the Wii U launch lineup
This launch is golden in comparison

Black Ops 2

this year Black Ops 7 is supposedly coming out

Fucking kill me

the launch lineup is bad, if you just ignore the biggest game of the decade

This cope did not turn out for you in 2017, stop trying it now.

Switch had games lined up for the entirety of 2017. We only have mario kart and bananza for the summer and nothing else, with the next direct coming no earlier than the fall. We have nothing

What is the launch line-up?

Mario Kart World

Looks really bad. I didn't like Burnout Paradise, I won't like this.

Donkey Kong

Looks amazing, I hope it lives up to the hype.

What else?

Bananza isn't a launch title.
You have Mario Kart.

I've already paid for my day one console

There's a direct in a few weeks. It was confirmed on the Treehouse.

This is actually among the better launch line-ups for a Nintendo console.
Just look at something like the Wii U or the 3DS if you wanna see some real trash.

What is the launch line-up? Can you post it? Thanks.

It launches with the entire Switch library plus Mario Kart World.

ZombiU next to BO2

Right, because they didn't include zombies in that version

I love how poor people on this board keep trying to pretend 450 is too high for the Switch 2.
It's one thing to be upset about the price of the games, but the Switch 2's price is perfectly fine

It launches with Mario Kart World

That's it? Really?
Holy fuck, this is a bad launch. When does DK come out? I was expecting that as a launch title.

I agree with this. The console is fine. The games/updates/online is criminal.

$450 dollars for this shit?

lol you wish. it's going up. however. there is a product for sensible gamers who don't enjoy the lifestyle of a cockold.

it's pretty poor. i went from hyped to wait and see

It comes out a month later. Then Metroid Prime comes out soon after that. Then Kirby Air Riders comes out a bit after that. They're pretty much drip-feeding the releases for 2025.
There are some more games, but those are the only ones I really give a shit about.

That isn't even the best game of the month cuck

I mean it's going to come for Sony too if nothing changes.

450 for a new system isn't an outlier, and with modern inflation, especially 2020-2024, the price tag doesn't surprise me at all.

$90 for physical carts is ghastly though.

expected a Donkey Kong game as a launch title

There has never been a DK game at launch since NES/Famicom.

None of the games are 90 dollars

The games aren't 90, hell they're not even 80 except Mario Kart. The fact that you have to lie about this proves it isn't that bad

How much are they in Canadian bucks?

Line up is fine, just getting price fucked by tarrifs.

The N64 launched with 2 games and for its entire first year only had 25 games.

Has there ever been a worse launch lineup from Nintendo?

Well they at least have a launch line up.

Pride goeth before the fall. Similar attitudes also got us the WiiU and the ridiculously botched 3DS launch, which they did eventually recover from after eating some humble pie.

The Switch 2 has two games for the Summer, so did the Switch, Arms and Splatoon 2. It does not have Spring games, since it is not out in Spring. Autumn/Holiday is Metroid, Kirby and musou, whereas 2017 was Mario, Pokken, Xenoblade and musou.

with the next direct coming no earlier than the fall

Nintendo ran more Directs than usual in 2017 even though the Switch had fuck all third party support at launch, and they are now fucking inundated with third party stuff to show. There will be a Direct soon after the system launches. We will not get a 3D Mario or Zelda added to the Holiday tally, but Monolithsoft new IP, Fire Emblem or Splatoon 4 are all plausible.

No game is $90

That's a really poor launch. Why is there only 1 new game at launch? Why would you preorder if there's no games?

They should be, though. Given inflation they should be $300, so it's a bit selfish to say $90 is too much.

Am I supposed to believe any of these are worth $80?

"There has never been a DK game at launch"

..."except"

So there has been a DK game at launch? And it's provable? Thanks for confirming.

digital

Now post Mario Kart, physical edition.

It plays your old games. I think you are vastly overestimating what is considered a 'good' launch line-up for a console.

It's the worst launch line up for the generation, that's for sure.

So did the PS3. Are you really going to say that had a "great launch" too, because you could play PS2 games on it?
This cope is hilarious!

At this point, you now realize that there won't be another DK launch title.

Shit man, the PS3 launch line up is better than this.

Wow what? I didn't realize until now that PS5 with a disk drive and a GOTY pack-in is $450. Holy shit this is bad

You're ignoring the fact that third parties didn't wish to bring their games over to the PS3 because of its obtuse architecture. The Switch 2 has great third party support. If you think the quantity or quality of games is the problem with the Switch 2 then you're a bit of a dunce.

I'm not ignoring that fact. Why do you think I am?

I just think it's really funny that you think 1 new game is a "strong launch" for a new console.

Wasn't the PS3, a console literally infamous for being basically a blue-ray player because it had no games, like $600 on release?
Why is $450 after 20 years of rapid inflation for a more powerful console suddenly a negative in peoples eyes? Did they expect a switch2 to have the price tag of an entry level tablet or something?

The latest iphone costed nearly double what the switch 2 will at launch and nobody seems to hold issue with buying them up in droves despite the fact that they'll be using it for taking pictures, social media and youtube 90% of the time

imagine the raw dollars of profit they're going to make selling people the same two Zelda games at a higher price

I never said that. I said it's among the better launch line-ups for a Nintendo console, and that's true. The PS3 launch line-up is unremarkable. Maybe you could make a case for Resistance.

Now post Mario Kart, physical edition.

From walmart.com

Double standards from console-warring kids.

What does this have to do with the post you're replying to?

Ports

You failed at the first hurdle lol. Can't read or something?

That's only for MKW

I was assuming you could use your little brain and consider the merit of the two actual new games on there. Obviously that was too much for you, though.
youtube.com/watch?v=eaBUeINW_3s
Study up, underage.

I know. I'm still correct tho.

Doesn't say "physical" anywhere in your screenshot.

Please prove it's the physical one. Thanks!

You are stupid.

Why haven't you proven your claims to be true yet anon?
Can't do it? It's okay if you can't.

What does a meme about RR1 being on PSP have to do with RR7 on PS3? You don't seem to actually play video games.

Has there ever been a worse launch lineup from Nintendo

Yes.
Virtual boy and WiiU.

90 physicals

Retarded, but at least they have insanely good 3rd party support and three strong new first party games. WiiU and Virtual Boy had absolutely nothing like that.

450

Good price. It's stronger than the 400 USD Steam Deck and includes the dock (Steam charges you 80 for that).
The console is going to sell fucking good.
I hope the games flop, but that's a hard one when Mario is bundle and Pokémon is coming out this very year. You know even the worse garbage will sell 10 million if it's a mainline Pokémon game.
I jist wish Yuzu2 and Atmosphere 2 are ready soon.

that's a really poor launch

No, it's not. Check Switch 1 launch titles. Breath of the Wild is a WiiU game and 12Switch it's their only new forst party game.

this is a bad launch.

No. It's insanely good for Nintendo. Specially taking the 3rd party launch titles.
WiiU launch was even worse and there was no upgraded versions of Wii Titles.

uh sir why did you leave out Metroid Prime FIRST HUNT. very disingenuous of you

Where do you think it says "physical" in your image?

No. It's insanely good for Nintendo.

You think 1 new game is an "Insanely good launch"? Why?

Irrelevant franchise releases an irrelevant game for an irrelevant launch. Don't let me catch you slacking around here again, kid.

He actually thinks the 3DS launch line-up is better than the Switch 2.

I'll just accept the fact you are too retarded to face reality.
kek that was the DS, but that had a fucking garbage line-up as well

a year passes, no one buys this shit console because everyone but nintendo saw it coming

nintendo makes a direct and they become ultra friendly, anounces a big change

all switch 1 holders can buy a switch2 and get their digital games upgraded to switch2 editions for free!

plus something small like a 5 dll voucher for indies (not nintendo 1st parties because muh honoru)

its gonna happen. I dont see other way to bring people with the first console to buy the 2nd one otherwise.

SF4 and Rayman were legitimately the best launch games. Easily the worst launch of all time.

He can't prove his own "true" claims to be true

Why not anon? You said you could do it.
What's the matter? Why are you so scared of proving yourself right?

You're getting lost in the echo chamber.

707726706

I subjectively choose not to acknowledge how abysmal the 3DS launch games were so I win!

No more (You)s for you, I'm afraid.

This is considered one of the worst launches of all time yet it has:
-New Tekken
-New Street Fighter
-3 New Fromsoft games
-2 new Rockstar games
-A new Ridge Racer
-A new TimeSplitters

So you don't play games but spend all day talking about them? Why should anyone listen to you? Because you post a lot? Retarded.

but it had all the ds library so actually it was good, right?
Just like how the Switch 2 launch isn't bad, because it has Switch 1 games.

You aren't upholding a double-standard, are you anon?

I really hope they increase the price to $90, then you will have a reason to cry for.

The embarrassing state of the switch2 has utterly broken the tendiesnoy. This is their undoing.

Okay. And you think this proves....what?

Forgetting the best game

What's a tendiesnoy?

Ah the time honored tradition of Nintendo and shovelware. A match made in heaven.

Nope, even with backwards compatibility the 3DS launch line-up was just that shit. Besides, most DS games sucked anyways.

The point of the thread is to talk about the Switch 2's lineup and getting more details about MKW changes nothing you double nigger

So you are enforcing a double-standard. Thanks for confirming.

What if it's two games in a big trench coat? You ever think of that one?

The beginning of the port slop age.

Why are you so upset?
He said there wasn't another direct for months. And I corrected him.

I really do this Nintendo should be charging $100 a game. and they should charge for every switch game to be playable on the switch two. They should slow burn those updates too. forcing them to pay for the online service for years.

I want you to literally burn your money in support. The spirit of Iwata and the gaming industry need it.

Here, have the page from Best Buy, since you want to be a retard who needs to be spoonfed.

get their digital games upgraded to switch2 editions for free!

The Switch 2 upgrades are free for most games at this point.

Arms, Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics, Game Builder Garage, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, Pokemon Scarlet, Pokemon Violet, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, Super Mario Odyssey

vs

Forgotten Land, Mario Party, Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom and Metroid Prime 4

and the Zelda ones are 'free' with NSO as well
they are only charging for new content, albeit with a very generous interpretation of the word in the case of Zelda and Metroid

The Switch 1 had a terrible launch lineup too. A Wii U port of the worst Zelda game, 1-2 Switch, and fuck all else.

Bestbuy

Why did you change store? You were supposed to be showing me the price at Wallmart. Remember?
Go ahead.

It's disingenuous of you to not list Super Bomberman R which carries the launch line-up. Easily leagues better than the Switch 2.
Don't even get me started on Snipperclips. We were really spoiled back then.

if you ignore the biggest game launch of all time on a technicality that it was also on a system no one owned, then the launch is bad or something

Snipperclips

My nigga! The Super Flash Bros really outdid themselves with that one.

the good news is a few of these have paid patches if you already own the game.

biggest game launch of all time

But that's Mario Kart World releasing exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5th, 2025.

at this point it's safe to assume this is a controlled demo of a beloved household brand, that the execs have been offered golden parachutes already, and that nintendo will soon be a faint memory or a hollyweird movie studio

I think the Switch 2 launch is very weak and it isn't enough to make me want one right now but at least it has Mario Kart. I'm STILL mad I bought a 3DS at launch.

It's got a shitty open world Mario Kart.
I don't see the appeal of getting this console at launch.

technicality

It was developed for the Wii U and ported to the Switch.

Scribblenauts Unlimited

Got delayed at the last second in Europe. Complete radio silence until it finally released to little fanfare over a year later.

They're pretty much drip-feeding the releases for 2025.

drip-feed releases towards the end of the Wii U/3DS

ok they're obviously saving games for the NX

combine console and handheld divisions, announce Switch

surely they'll deliver now when they're focusing on one platform

drip-feed Switch releases from 2018 onward

surely they'll saving for the Switch 2 launch

1 (one) new first party $80 launch game

And in that year Playstation raped it, what's your point?

But we do have a line-up for games coming through the latter half of the year which is better than the complete silence we'd get before.
And don't forget, you get the $10 paid tech demo as well!

paid patches

good news

It's over for troontendo.

europe

That’s a (You) problem

No, it's a (Eu) problem.

>$90 games?
Sir it has been confirmed that's $110

only mario kart world is 80

can be bought for $50 with the bundle

Shitposting should be a bannable offense

what I think is going to be hilarious is once the tariff negotiations shake out and free trade deals are inked the price will come down and everyone will have to thank trump for it

In a year where KCD2, Split Fiction, Monster Hunter Wilds and the Minecraft movie overperformed expectations, do people really believe this won't happen again with the Switch 2? People have to be naive to believe that.

You already got raped, take the L like a man holy shit.

What in the fuck are you talking about?

Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment

Obviously that might not be the right order, but even if you don't want to include Pokemon/MP4, there's only 2 months with nothing unless for whatever reason they stack up even more games. The can easily announce something else.

Stop sucking corpo dick and you won't feel like anyone's shitposting.

God, I hope we get Steel Diver 99. Trash talking in Morse code was amazing.

Convieniently ignores the $80 switch ports

Try and justify that faggy.

Half of those are $80. Shut the fuck up, bootlicker.

prime 4 is probably september so they have something new every month and they've being showing it off/demoing it a lot so it's clearly further along
also I'd switch age of imprisonment and air riders, age of imprisonment can build off age of calamity and we've seen gameplay whereas we've seen nothing for air riders and it probably has to be done from the ground up

$450

Reasonable price, the real PS5 and Sexbox costed $500 just 4 years ago

$90

Europe only. It's $80 in the US, but only some games as most are $70

Switch had games lined up for the entirety of 2017. We only have mario kart and bananza for the summer

Everything except Kirby and Duskbloods is launch window
Fall / Winter games are to be announced in a later direct.

I put Pokemon and MP4 together because historically MP both have launched in November and Nintendo has paired core oriented games with Pokemom before (like SMTV in 2021). If anything they might not release a title in December. Reggie talked about that being a logistical nightmare and they only did it in 2017 (XBC 2), 2018 (SSBU) and 2022 (BvB)

Drag x Drive

I don't think that one is gonna get a dedicated month, so there's 1-2 games potentially still unannounced

You're really grasping at straws when your picks include musou shit, welcome tour, and drag and drive.

Pretty sure Swedish retailers are hiking the price on purpose right now, Germany was almost $100 cheaper last I checked.

Compare it to the Switch 1's launch year. You had 1,2-Switch, Arms and Fire Emblem Warriors. Same shit. Snipperclips was their only release in November 2017

nintentdrones bad

This shit console screams Wii U

How did you already 3DS and Wii U? Retard.

tendies: be honest, are you even deterred? i doubt it, nintendo is gambling that people will pay no matter what and nvidia already proved they will

As usual with everything.
1000 jävla kronor for a video game, when I could get Wii U games for half of that and 3DS games for as low as 300 kr. Fuck Bergsala, fuck the stores, and fuck the government and the whole country of cucks who just goes along with it.
