I love the idea of amiibo cards. It could be seen as a trading card game, but with characters from popular Nintendo franchises that serve a purpose in the games they represent.

It's not often that I say a video game is incredibly important, unless it touches on specific social issues or world injustices, but purely from a video game stand point, I think the release of Poochy and Yoshi's Wholly World on the 3DS is incredibly important for Nintendo in three specific ways: first, it highlights the desire from fans to see popular Wii U games get ported to the 3DS; second, it shows that Nintendo still has plans for the 3DS in 2017; and finally, that there are still inherent benefits of owning the NEW 3DS system over the original.

Indie developers with games near completion need to push their products to market for the first few months following the launch of the Nintendo Switch.

On my current systems - Wii U, PS4, and Xbox One - I have a mixture of quality kid titles and games they probably shouldn't see until they are at least 21. Unfortunetly, the lack of parental controls means they can see basically everything if they really want to, and launch any game they want. Nintendo is launching great parental controls for the Nintendo Switch which can all be set using your smart phone.
