Wow, the game looks awesome from that trailer.
The only reason they announced this is so people wouldn't get pissed off that the 3DS got a new 2D Metroid game.
They actually learned their lesson after that Pokemon Direct. The also announced the Switch is getting a real Pokemon at E3 to do some damage control regarding that direct (and maybe getting out ahead of the whole "the new Monster Hunter will be everywhere but the Switch" thing).
Could be, I mean there's quite a few people who finished Zelda and now have nothing to look forward to if they are like me and don't like the looks of anything until they can get Mario Odyssey.
As it is right now 2018 is looking like a step back for Nintendo in appealing to core gamers. The announced 2018 games of Fire Emblem, Yoshi and Kirby are more centered around attracting Japanese or kid/parents with very little for those who bought a console to play BOTW and Odyssey. The potential of a Metroid Prime in 2019/2020 might be the only thing keeping someone like you from selling your Switch that will be collecting dust at that point. Nintendo has to play the long game.
Have you played Payday 2? It's nothing like GTA. It's a shooter, not an open world game full of satire and crude humor with loads to do that feels like a living city. Two different markets. I disagree that the switch needs an FPS game as well. I don't think people are buying it to play CoD clones at all.
Well I'm excited. I actually haven't played the previous Metroid Prime games, always wanted to. I know I can get the Wii compilation on the Wii U eshop, but I'd buy an HD remaster of those games for the Switch in an instant. On that note, excited for the Metroid 2 3DS remake as well.
Hey now, I'd say Fire Emblem is more targeted at "core gamers" than you're giving it credit for. "Fire Emblem Awakening" was widely praised and probably drew a fair amount of core gamers to the 3DS platform.
As for "selling your Switch"...personally, I would never do that. Firstly, as a huge Zelda fan I would never want to give up the ability to play Breath of the Wild whenever the mood strikes me. Heck, I still play A Link to the Past about once a year. Second, even if it looked like there was a dry spell of games coming up, I wouldn't want to forego the potential to play future games that just may not have been announced yet.
I don't think the Switch needs an FPS, sure, but I do think it's a genre that Nintendo would benefit from catering to. Can you imagine how well Overwatch would do if it was ported to Switch? (Then there's me, who would love to see some of my favorite last gen games ported to Switch, ie the Mass Effect trilogy, Portal, Batman Arkham, Deus Ex Human Revolution...but that's just me. At least I'm getting Skyrim.)
Yup and Reggie from Nintendo America confirmed @ E3 that yes, a mobile device app is required for chat on the Switch.With nintendo's pitiful online system I don't think games like overwatch would do well at all.

Because you now know it's in development and coming instead of if or when they will make a new one?Maybe it's because I've never played a Metroid Prime game, but I don't understand how anyone can get excited over literally nothing except a title graphic.

Let a Muppet explain it for you:Maybe it's because I've never played a Metroid Prime game, but I don't understand how anyone can get excited over literally nothing except a title graphic.
Eh, I'd rather have Metroid: Samus Returns for the Switch. They ought to consider just putting games like that on both consoles.
