Its been less than a year on the marketplace and seems like the Nintendo Switch has been able to turn Nintendo's sinking ship around. Both reputation, and in a financial way Nintendo has been able to really turn it around. What has made the Switch such a success in 2017, was it solely based on The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, and Splatoon 2. Is Nintendo's luck going to remain in 2018.
Super Mario Odyssey was the Nintendo Switch’s debut for the franchise, and we saw our red-hatted friend don a new piece of gear that doubled as his new sidekick, Cappy. With so many characters getting some prominent screen time, Luigi felt completely uninvited to this party. That’s why we can’t help but think that Nintendo has something special cooked up for him in Super Mario Odyssey 2.
I hope they move on from Odyssey. It is my least favorite 3D Mario game. If felt shorter and a huge step down from Mario Galaxy 1 & 2.
I was happy for a more free roam 3D Mario, it's been forever since there was one like this, but I agree Galaxy 2 was a better game. Galaxy 1 I didn't like as much oddly.
A Legend of Zelda fan has been modding various aspects of Ocarina of Time into The Wind Waker over the last few years. They recently gave a big update on the project and it looks great.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Last week Nintendo held this year's surprisingly packed not-E3 Direct; with a full schedule for this year and a vague promise of a console successor next year, it's very possible that we've now seen our final Nintendo Switch Direct, or at least one with major first party reveals. That makes this a good time to sit back and reflect on a generation of Direct moments, from the shocking and surprising, to the joyous and exhilarating - and, quite often, all at once."
And all Nintendo had to do was sacrifice Wii U at the alter
Telling comment for me, was mentioning how third party support isn't that important. I have no concerns about Switch doing well so long as Nintendo continue to supply first party games,regularly. If that's stops, there could be problems. Let's be honest, when people discuss Switch it's always mentioned how great Zelda or Mario are, and that's true. Nintendo,imo, are more reliant on first party than either of it's main competitors.It's a great console,and keep me supplied with first party games, and I'll be happy. So far, so good.
Well, I'm pretty much a PC Gamer at heart, and still I'm going to pick up the Switch. So that says quite a lot about the situation if you ask me.
