First, the launch details:
• Launch date: March 3 (worldwide)
• MSRP: $300 USD
• No region lock, so if there’s ever a game that doesn’t come out here that you want, go ahead and import it.
And now, the games. First, Nintendo:
• Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a confirmed launch title, releasing 3/3.
• The Mario game from the original trailer is called Super Mario Odyssey, and features Mario travelling across multiple worlds.
• That Splatoon game is not a port, but a full-fledged sequel: Splatoon 2.
• That Mario Kart game is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a Wii U port with a new Battle mode and new Splatoon-themed content.
• 1-2-Switch: a 2-player party game where the players stare at each other, rather than the screen.
• ARMS: A fighting game where the characters have long stretchy arms and customizable gauntlets.
Now, for some third-party games:
• Skyrim and NBA2K18 are officially confirmed. (They were in the original trailer)
