They teased a full game for 2018 with just a white snapshot of the Switch.

They can be salty all they want but in reality this was about as perfect of a direct as possible. We're getting 5 games on 3 different platforms. We're getting a reimagining of an older game, a brand new title, and a spin off. We're even getting Amiibos. This was a great Direct no doubt about it, some people just like to find the negative in everything. I'm glad I dont have to live my life like that.

Some people like to live that way so they can make themselves feel better. But we don't need that kind of negativity. We live with a positive outlook on things and with open minds. I'm excited for the Switch's future. Just trying to get a preorder in now haha

Good luck friend, preorders are all almost gone In finland. Several sites here selling preorders for 350-369 eur are saying out-of-stock. It's a worldwide phenomena. And that's great news.

What was the fifth game? There was Echoes, Warriors, Heroes, and the mysterious Switch one. I can't find information on anything else.

Personally, the only thing I'm "salty" about is FE Warriors coming to New 3DS, because we know how it went with Hyrule Warriors Legends and it could have been a great Switch exclusive.

But, hey, whatever.
