• Luigi's Mansion 3
• Animal Crossing
• Fire Emblem Three Houses
• Super Mario Maker 2
• Yoshi's Crafted World
• Daemon X Machina
• Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order

Plus ports of older stuff like Dragon's Dogma, Hellblade, Deltarune, Resident Evil 0, Resident Evil, Resident Evil 4, Assassin's Creed 3, Unravel 2, GRID Autosport, FF7, FF9, FF10, FF12. I'm not listing rumored stuff like Star Fox Racing, MPT, or Persona 5.

Overall, what do you think of the Switch's lineup for this year as it currently stands? Personally I feel 2019 looks to be a good year for the Switch, and better than 2018, if not quite as good as 2017 was. You?

Mario Maker 2, Animal Crossing and Astral Chain for me, chief. Couldn't care less about everything else especially after playing that Daemon X Machina demo, yikes.

Add a poll option for meh.

Hell it looks better than 2017 to me.

 

[Raijinto]

Same as what I said in the other thread- I'll judge it once we know more, something closer to the full picture. I'm not gonna give them credit for games that could be delayed/cancelled and I'm not gonna rule out more announcements like Super Mario Party of last year which was only announced at E3.

 

[requiem]

Phenomenal is all I can say. Blown away.

 

[nightstalker962]

Looks incredible to me.

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

Astral Chain makes it the best year any system ever has had

 

[Travless]

This lineup rivals 2017, and could ever dethrone it for the Year of Dreams. (I got you, Tim Gettys)

 

[TheDarkKnight]

Much better than last year

 

[SourKiwi]

Thank god for animal crossing

 

[Error 52]

It's pretty strong. Lot of interesting new IP, lots of new entries in classic series, and some good ports.

 

[Phellps]

It's really strong, possibly their best year since launch. I mean, sure, there are no BoTWs or Odysseys this year, but it also got more high-quality games than 2017.

 

[ULTROS!]

The ones I want are also available (or will be available on the PS4) like Oninaki, Deltarune, and DQB2 (English version) so the only thing I'm interested is Astral Chain.

Other than that, it's OK. I have one game for Switch this year (maybe FFX too).

 

[NNN]

The thing is most of the listed titles aren't exclusives, taking them out the equation will result in just a less than a mediocre line up :/

 

[TripaSeca]

Incredible. The year is amazing. From march, it's nonstop greatness till Christmas.

 

[ArmadilloGame]

A non-port first party title each month for the rest of the year. Including mario, zelda, and pokemon. The promise of all software output on one system is becoming realized.

 

[Unknownlight]

Worst year yet, subjectively. I either don't care for (most of them), am wary about (Pokémon, Astral Chain), would rather get on another platform (DOOM), or it's a port.

Super Mario Maker 2 looks good though.

 

[bobbychalkers]

First half of the year is barren of tentpile releases but my Switch will be busy with ports and indies. The second half will murder my wallet and free time.

 

[Technika]

Links Awakening remake and Astral Chain!
Gotta admit that im slightly disappointed that its not an original Zelda title, nonetheless im looking forward to it.

Lots of titles fit in the Nice! category, but other than the 2 listed above, im not moved to buy day 1 so to speak.

 

[Master Chuuster]

It's looking very, very good. Don't know if it'll beat 2017 in terms of quality, but the sheer number of games coming out on the Switch this year that I cannot wait to play really excites me.

 

[carlosrso]

Great year! Make me think of buying one.

 

[AfropunkNyc]

Its just getting started, im scared to say. The Money i normally used to get a ton of PC games is now going towards my Switch.

 

[Hero_Select]

It's looking to be a great and solid year. I'm also loving all these RPGS!

? Everything in the bullet list except for the last four games is exclusive.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Astral Chain alone makes it a 10/10

Now where is W101 and Pikmin 4?

 

[Fjordson]

I'm sort of between "it's alright" and "well stacked". It's looking good to me, but I wouldn't call it stacked.

Though I only need a few games to be happy since there's plenty of other good stuff to play on other platforms.

 

[Verruckt93]

I love my switch even more now

 

[Neoxon]

As someone who only cares about first party games (for the most part), it's a pretty decent year when you also factor in Pokémon Gen 8, Luigi's Mansion 3, & Animal Crossing Switch. It's no 2017 (as of now), but there's a lot to look forward to.

 

[lvl 99 Pixel]

Astral Chain could be good, but other than that its only Pokemon that's keeping my Switch from being unplugged.

 

[Deleted member 32018]

Don't forget Boxboy and Tetris 99 :)

Also keep in mind their 2019 lineup isn't complete yet.

 

[John Frost]

Zelda, Astral Chain, possibly Pokémon and Fire Emblem for me, so it's alright.

 

[Lant_War]

Super Mario Maker 2, new Yoshi game and new Pokémon Gen?

Best year, imo.

 

[OwOtacon]

I'll wait to see if Star Fox Grand Prix is this year, but I like this year more than 2018 for the switch already. Though I have big reservations about the direction of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, a new Platinum and a new Mario Maker is hype. And a top 3 Zelda is getting remade!

 

[Bishop89]

Solid year, definitely better than the last 2 years


Still no advance wars though.
Throw me a bone Nintendo come on.

 

[Cess007]

Link's Awakening was the only thing I actually cared when it was announced, but I expected a remake with the graphics of BoTW. I would run and buy a Switch this weekend.

Other than that, nothing else interest me, so I it's alright year.

Edit. I lie, I am also interested on Luigi's Mansion 3, but I didn't liked 2, so I hope it's more like the original one.

Deltarune is not older stuff, it's brand new....

Added: And you forgot Boxboy and Tetris 99

 

[Deleted member 51691]

It's no 2017, but it's hard to top a new 3D Zelda and 3D Mario flanking one year. Astral Chain and Link's Awakening are the big ones for me

 

[Deleted member 3017]

First half = kind of garbage (FIX THIS next year, Nintendo. Jesus.)
Second half = better than all of 2017. It's insane.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

I like it, but I want to see more.

 

[Nax]

I'm pretty bummed it's all 2nd half. Don't have time to play everything in 6 months.

 

[MegaXZero]

Looking to be the best year with pokemon gen 8 coming.

 

[Wamb0wneD]

Why would you take them out of the equation though, outside of dumb as fuck console wars that is?

 

[tyfon]

It's alright.
I'm probably getting Astral Chain, Link and Pokemon RPG. And Animal Crossing for daughters/wife.
Astral Chain has the potential to be really good though, hopefully it will be a 60 hz game.

 

[BoxManLocke]

Getting Zelda, Luigi's Mansion and Animal Crossing (just spit out that fucking release date omfg), so that's two more games than in 2018 !

Seriously though it's a damn good line up especially if Switch is your main console.

 

[Nakadai]

I don't see a game on the horizon that interests me whatsoever. The Switch is basically a Super Smash machine, with a Tennis chaser, and some SNK games that aren't on PS4 yet. Waiting for a real Star Fox or F-Zero game, hell even a Custom Robo comebacl, and I have a feel I'll be waiting forever.

 

[rochellepaws]

I'm interested in 5 to 6 of those presuming they all come out this year so I'm happy. It's more or less what I would expect every year from Nintendo considering they appear to be combining handheld and console into one platform. I'm glad that 2018 appears to have been a blip and Nintendo look back on track now.

 

[Master Chuuster]

Deltarune is not older stuff, it's brand new....

Click to shrink...

He's referring to releases that aren't new. Deltarune has been out on PC for a while.

 

[Tregard]

Mario Maker 2 alone would have been stellar, that in tandem with about a dozen other killer titles is bonkers.

If there are any titles left in the pipe (i.e. Prime Trilogy, StarFox, Pokémon), that is going to be almost unfathomably good.

 

[9-Volt]

Needs more third party ports. I want play stuff like GTA5, Fallout4, Rage 2, XCOM 2, Spyro Collection, DMC Collection, KH Collection on the go too.

Some genres are criminally under represented, especially modern ones like open world games and FPS titles. I've been waiting for years for the surge of both genres on portables I think Switch is the place this can finally happen.

 

[milkyway]

There hasn't been any officially announced game that I'd 100% buy yet, not counting games like Pokemon/Animal Crossing which have no details. Fire Emblem and Zelda are like 95% but after the Direct I have my concerns. I'd like Platinum's game to be great. I still have faith 2019 could be Switch's best year yet but the Direct has me conflicted and did not see fit to appease me with MPT or Animal Crossing news.
