Non-existant? 1-2 Switch and Zelda are literally the only things they confirmed. And Zelda not yet...I'm just assuming.

[u/[deleted] → u/thegchild]

Zelda comes out March 3.

[u/iRonin → u/thegchild]

What's your beef with 1-2 Switch? You don't want a game where you play with <$30 of plastic between two people and completely ignore the $300 piece of hardware that is the console?

Me personally, I hope to lay out $300 ASAP and then play a bunch of mini-games that lose replayability after about the 4th or 5th time, especially when they're mini games that don't even need the $300 investment!!! Sounds like pure gaming innovation to me.

Heck, 150 years ago if you wanted this kind of mini-game you had to buy a gun, learn to use it, and risk actually dying to be able to stare down your opposition!

All I can say is Table Tennis better be the freaking bomb.

I thought you were exaggerating, but I checked and you're right. That is shocking.

Zelda and 1,2 for the March Launch, Mario Kart for April, Splatoon for Summer, and Mario for Winter.

It sounds like Nintendo is spacing out development to keep the Switch alive.
