The first half of 2021 for Switch is pretty strong

Someone sell me on Miitopia.
It looked like Find Mii from 3DS StreetPass, which was actually one of the coolest things on 3DS.
It also had some bangers.

It's still kinda crazy that we're getting a new Pokémon Snap after all this time. Part of my mind refuses to believe it and I have to keep reminding myself that it's an actual thing.
not really interested in any of these(other than possibly snap which i'm on the fence about pending reviews) but looking forward to the famicom detective club games and rune factory 5
The only games that interest me from this list are:
Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
Zelda : Skyward Sword HD
Thankfully I haven't played them yet on the older systems. Tbh that list isn't great imo, and it's even worse when you remove the ports. The number of AAA games released from Nintendo is just too low, I don't understand why such a rich company doesn't invest in more development teams.

Damn then the first half of the year is pretty bad for every console.
There are 5 ports. A good chunk yes, but that leaves 8 games, most of which are exclusive.
I hope BD2 is strong. Octopath surprised me. I keep trying and failing to get hooked by Monster Hunter.
Unfortunately, looking at the first party titles, I don't see anything I really want to use my remaining game voucher for. The last 3 or so times I bought one there always ended up being at least two games that came out I would have bought anyway. I can't imagine paying full price for Pokemon snap, a golf game or a remake of a game I already own.
Skyward Sword is July which is second half
Beyond that though I disagree. I see a lot of games with potential but nothing beyond 3D World + Bowser's Fury that looks great. For me it's just decent but I know it's just opinions. Nothing I'm clamoring for but a handful I'm curious about.

its so sad people complain about ports and multiplats but they forget that some of those games on the switch because of its value and its first time coming to a nintendo system.
With Bravely Default, Story of Seasons, Pokemon Snap and Crash Bandicoot 4 I'm basically set for the year. No need for other games at all.
I'm kidding. I'm also getting Fall Guys later

It's pretty good if you didn't own a Wii/U. My Switch would have most likely collected dust if I bothered with a Wii U last gen.
Would you like to know? There's so much good stuff coming out on PlayStation and Xbox in the near future.

This excuse will always appear even if there's only a single WiiU game isn't it?
I'm underwhelmed by this tbh, and it doesn't really do much to change my impression that Nintendo stepped on the brakes after 2017. Of the games listed I'm only interested in Bravely Default 2 (REALLY want to play this - I would've preordered if they had a collectors' edition), Persona 5 Strikers (want to play), Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (yet another Wii U title), and Skyward Sword (want to play).
With everything going on it's understandable that the lineup would be weaker, and I'm not going to be so suprised if there are delays, but the lineup certainly doesn't blow me away or make me want to rush to play on Switch vs another platform. I'll keep playing other platforms and/or backlog titles.
I agree on the multiplats, but for the ports, like, how long is this going to keep happening for? The Switch is about to turn 4 years old, and we are still getting Wii U ports. Great games to port, certainly, and the games do benefit from having a larger install base to try and sell to, but still.

Well, tbh, that's why I bought my Switch for.
Though I am excited for the rumored new Resident Evil game for it.
1: What do other consoles have to do with the Switch's Q1/Q2?
2: Those other consoles aren't coming off of one of their most barren years.
The Switch with it's 3000+ games and people complaining they have nothing to play.
Name a more iconic duo.
Honestly it may be my favorite H1. It's definitely up there. Unlike some other years, there's not a lot of pauses between entries. 2017 had BotW of course, but then we had two months almost until MK (which was just a port) then ARMS.
PS4/PS5 is also having a solid H1. Hitman 3, Cyber Shadow, Ys IX, Nioh Remastered, Persona 5 Scramble, Yakuza, Guilty Gear, Returnal, Ratchet, etc.
For both Sony and Nintendo it's really their second halves that are straight question marks.

Monster Hunter Rise is probably the only one I'll get.
I'm also interested in Ninja Gaiden, but might get that for PC.

I'm only interested in Bravely Default 2, too port heavy and games that are ''just okay fun'' like Mario Golf, where's the AAA Nintendo titles.
I can name 3 excellent games right away that you will most certainly not have played to tie you over. No problem whatsoever.
Can only give my honest opinion, which is meh.
I'm excited about Bravely Default 2 and Mario Golf. Monster Hunter Rise and Pokemon New Snap could be good, but not really my cup of tea. Rest are pretty much multi-plats or ports.
I get why people could be excited, but honestly just continues what has been a long drought for me on the switch.

I have plenty of games I can play
that doesn't make the Switch's H1 lineup, the entire point of this thread and the thing I was commenting on, any more exciting for me
This is spot on. People were claiming Switch was going to be dead because 2017 didn't have anything to play, lol.
Nintendo is never going to please everyone and those that are only wanting mainline Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, Metroid, etc... are going to be disappointed almost every year in the first half because those games will mostly be holiday releases.
Well, the initial "I"m starving" post implies the exact opposite. If you have stuff to play, play it, don't complain that there's not enough additions to your pile of shame.
It's decent in a vacuum, but if you limit it to actual exclusives it's pretty thin.
Also this. All the interesting stuff we know about (Bayo 3, BotW2, Prime 4) seems like it's definitely going to slip to 2022.

Yeah, I saw that post and was like "what." Rise will hit 8M easily, probably more like 10M+. It's a huge release.
I anticipate there being a couple of surprises later in the year but it's probably gonna be pretty empty by and large. Got a feeling they're gonna try to cover their losses with a major holiday gouge; all three HD Zelda ports plus a soundtrack, plus maybe download codes for the NES games, all in a single physical package for £100 or something similarly agony-inducing. Limited-time purchase and probably the only way to play WW or TP HD on Switch just for that extra bit of pain lmao.
Maybe that, plus D+P remakes and a hastily-assembled 2D Mario. If Pikmin 4 secretly being finished is actually a thing, that, I guess? I'm not gonna pretend to be super optimistic, Nintendo seem to have shown most of their cards already and much of it has been (pretty understandably) delayed.
