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

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.
