@WhiteTrashGuy I'm with you, Devil's Third is still locked to the Wii U, and until it is ported over, the transfer of power is not complete.

Wario Land for the man in yellow's 30th anniversary... 2022, did Nintendo forget?

All I want is a new Wario Land/world game

Let me know when a Wario expansion is released!

My 3 virtual boys and the entire NA collection along with all Japanese games in boxes except for SD Gundam and Virtual Lab.

@vincentgoodwin Best comment yet!

@Darkyoshi98 Not at all, just saying in a sarcastic manner he could technically own shares in Atari, just like we all could since it's a publicly listed entity. If he was really so angered by all this and savvy he could buy a large chunk of the outstanding shares, depending on his available cash, maybe even enough to have a significant influence on the company.

Shares for Atari are only trading at 0.42$ USD. You could even buy up as much as you can and compete for ownership stake with poor old Soulja Boy!

Atari is a publicly listed company, therefore he really could have bought some shares and be one of a significant number of owners. He would certainly not be the first rapper either to own parts of video game companies as they are all listed on various stock exchanges.

@KillerBOB You're in the wrong part of Canada Out here in New Brunswick everything is open and restrictions are fairly limited (masks etc.), mind you the provincial borders remain closed..

@Bunkerneath Yes agreed, the original South Park game on N64, reminds me of it as well.

@DarthFoxMcCloud I was surprised to even see a Nintendo Store kiosk at the Rideau Center downtown.

Pokémon Let' Go... I am still tackling all the master trainers. Raised every single pokémon to level 100 then started taking on the trainers, I believe I'm 3/4 of the way through them now. I can't wait to finish and move on to a new game...

@whanvee I did the exact same thing, it's a shame that the sport has been severely underrepresented on nintendo platforms since the gamecube days.

All I want that I don't have on the switch is an NHL game, doesn't have to be EA or 2K, just any hockey game... and Super Blood Hockey doesn't count for me.

@Tantani Heavily push the VR set sales... the sets have been sold out in North America since the day they came out. I've been searching far and wide for one.

@chardir The North American store sends me to retailers which don't have any in stock. I'll check out the UK store, I wonder if they would ship to Canada. Thanks!

I just want to be able to find a kit... I have been trying since it came out but nowhere seems to have it in stock. I'm looking for the full kit not the simple starter kit, those I have seen many times.

Already had it preordered... this review won't stop me! I'm still looking forward to the game.

So 3 people bought this game on Switch while 1 person did on steam?

@chardir The one on the left is supposed to be brownish to represent Eevee. The right joy-con is traditional yellow representing Pikachu.

I just want NHL, that is all.

@justin233 Yes 1-3 Switch would be a great follow-up to the smash hit 1-2 Switch

I kid, I kid, but that's how I originally read your comment due to the "1-3 on Switch" being on the next line...

South Park, and perhaps Nights of Azure 2 which I still haven't finished... trying to find video game time with a baby in the house is quite difficult haha

Virtual boy baby!

Nights of Azure 2, then I can get to Skyrim, then xenoblade...

As soon as I saw the splatoon paint I knew it was a Smash Bros reveal, it couldn't be anything else splatoon related! Great news for 2018!

Perhaps, if it does release it'll depend on other games released around that time... My switch backlog has already grown to unmanageable heights!

The Switch is now outpacing the PS4 sales over the first 10 months by a healthy margin. 14.86 million vs. 13.5 million, or 110%. It's early to make bold predictions but continued momentum could have the switch lifetime numbers well over 100 million.

@Octane In the U.S. most beer are between 3% and 4% if I'm not mistaken. In Canada, that 6.1% would be about average, our light beers are around 4% - 4.5%. So if you are looking at the beer from an American's perspective (again just assuming he is here) it is either double the regular beer level or close to.

And this is why I believe Metroid and/or Pokémon will release this year. This is obviously something that has been in development for quite some time. This is also the first time anyone outside of Nintendo has heard about it. Yet, the release date is only 4 months away. Nintendo has fully embraced the idea of revealing games/products that will be released in a short time frame from that announcement. This also makes me wonder what other cool new concepts are in store for us in the near future, what else do they have up their sleeves?

@gatorboi352 Most of these games have never been available on a Nintendo platform, so this is the first opportunity to play them for a lot of people, myself included. I'm sure there are also many other people who would be buying these ports as they are common place on PS4 and Xbox, having the option to play on the go is a huge motivating factor for a lot of people debating on which of these new versions they are looking to purchase. Obviously all dependant on lifestyle and preference.

Remember when Super Mario Odyssey was announced in January 2017 for the first time. No one believed it would be released that same year, Nintendo surprised everyone by committing to its October release. Same thing with Xenoblade 2. They seem to have bought into the approach of announcing and showing titles that will be released in the near future... could this be the same for Metroid 4 which was announced way back at E3 of last year??? Perhaps

I just want NHL!

@Azooooz There is a report from an analyst saying that it already has passed 15 million before the end of 2017.

The original article I read also stated the Switch was the number 1 selling console for the year as well.

@MartyFlanMJFan Yes I know, I just think that having adequate supply all they need to do is continue to market the system and 20 million should be a no brainer. With a special game being released, like pokémon, I would expect closer to 25 to 30 million sold in next fiscal year. People want the Switch as its unique selling proposition is so intriguing for today's lifestyle, that is an easy sell and should in and of itself guarantee to continue selling the system at the same pace as this first year.

20 million seems a little conservative to me, which leads me to believe Pokémon might miss the holidays. They will have over 16 million sold by end of March 31st, by keeping on keeping on they should hit 20 million by simply meeting demand. I would like to see 25 to 30 million instead.

@setezerocinco I had contacted Ubisoft about it and they were supposed to be working on fixing the issue. The game would crash during the final boss' first move after I set up both Mario and Luigi with their hero sight power. The game always crashed on Luigi's third shot.

But the main question is did they fix the game breaking glitch that crashes the game when I use Luigi, Rabbid Luigi and Mario during the final boss encounter? I will have to see if the issue still persists.

Well I thought it would be a stretch to reach 200k sales in one week but there they go beating that figure by 10%! Hopefully this week is just as strong. I'm not sure if Japan is as crazy with deals and sales the week after the holidays but here in Canada that week is our version of the U.S.'s Black Friday.

The Switch looks poised to sell over 750k in Japan alone for the month of December. Do these weekly figures start on the previous Monday and end on the Sunday?

Day one buy!

@maceng I'm also one to make educated guesses and am not necessarily buying into wild expectations. Since we are naming professions, I am an chartered accountant and work very closely with projections, forecasts and financials. I also must admit I have a vested interest in the Switch doing well as I am also an investor in Nintendo stock. Do I think it's a stretch? Yes. Do I believe Nintendo can surprise us once again this year? Yes. They seem to have a better handle on their supply issues, as seen in the weekly sales increases in Japan. Nintendo has stated they are ramping up supply even more for the month of December? Could those weekly sales in Japan reach 200k? I don't know, but if we are to believe that there is still clearly stock shortages in the market and Nintendo will again increase output, why can't we see another 40k jump like we saw this week. We already know that South Korea and Japan amounted to over 200k in sales this past week, I think it might be possible, but we will wait and see. If I were to bet on it happening I certainly wouldn't, then again with the odds stackes so high against it, we could be looking at 100-1 odds, in which case I might wager 10 dollars It might just be more realistic to see the Switch outpace that 13.5 million in 10 and a half months by a week or a few days. It's just a fun ride to follow at the moment!

@maceng December 10th was the post, I believe it is based on data up until November, which excludes that first week of December sales. I think it might be a stretch but certainly doable. Can they sell an average of 875k a week worldwide, stretch yes, possible definitely especially with the South Korean market, we will have to see. I'm looking forward to seeing the results.

Very impressive, the switch will likely end 2017 close to or above the 13.5 million mark which would have it outpace the PS4 in a little less than 10 months. The PS4 in turn took 10.5 months to reach that figure. I'm not aiming to pit one console against another, simply to be happy that the Switch is on pace to be a better selling console long-term if momentum can be maintained. This is good news for Nintendo fans and fans of video games in general!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Enjoy those games! They will certainly eat up a good chunk of your free time over the next few months! I have over 130 hours split between Mario + Rabbids and Mario Odyssey... haven't yet started Xenoblade 2.. will get to that after I get through my backlog which includes Doom, Skyrim, L.A. Noire, Nights of Azure 2...

@superguy123 Actually outpacing PS4 first nine months when you consider the fact that the Switch's first nine months does not include a holiday season. If you compared the same calendar months during the first year of launch the Switch is quite a ways ahead of the PS4. This will become much more clear after the holiday numbers are accounted for.

They are more than on pace to sell through that 14 million by March 31st. They will most definitely hit over 16 million by then.

I have not seen Sleigh_Eire in any of the comments lately...

Great news to wake up to! The Switch currently is the system where I've already more than doubled my initial first year game purchases for any other video game console... and the year isn't even done yet. 2018 will likely make it so that I have more Switch games than NES, SNES and Game Boy combined, I was a kid at that time and games were limited to what my parents would get me. I have many more games for the N64, Gamecube, Wii and Wii U, but still the switch may very well have me buy more games lifetime than a few of those other consoles combined too!

I really don't think Rockstar has produced many copies of this game for the Switch and might be happy with the current sales figures even though to the rest of us they appear to be underwhelming. Not one copy was in stock at my local Walmart, which I believe to be a result of low stock levels.

I've also noticed that retailers are not displaying third party games such as Doom, Skyrim, Sonic Forces, Dragonball Xenoverse 2 etc. face forward in some cases. Again I've noticed this past weekend at three different Walmarts that all these titles were on the same shelf turned on their side while Mario Odyssey, Just Dance, Zelda, Rabbids, Arms, Splatoon 2, Fifa 18, etc. were all facing forward easily catching the eye of any potential buyer whereas you had to really look hard and know what you wanted for the others. I hope this isn't the case everywhere as it will be difficult for those looking to purchase the Switch and a few games as a gift during the holidays to potentially pick up these quality third party titles.

When I picked up Doom I told the cashier that I wanted Doom for the Switch and his response was "That game is only on PS4 and Xbox One...". I had to take him to the Switch section and point it out (1 of three copies), squeezed between all those others games where he then said "Oh that seems odd".

Sorry end of rant! I have L.A. Noire on order and am looking forward to playing it.

@VinnieMii Thanks, I'll check to see if it's fixed. I got distracted with Doom!
