I'd rather not have Smash 4 & SMM be part of that, but I recognize a good fake when I see one.
Nintendo Direct on April 12 (3PM PT, Switch/3DS, mainly Splarms)

I really need them to announce some Wii U Ports. I want to sell my Wii U stuff
The worst is that I'd buy every games in this. -_-

It wouldn't unless it was handheld only
I'm down for Pikmin 3 at least. Never finished it before I sold it.
Hope it happens eventually.

For bombing miserably, lots of folks really loved the Wii U.

Yeah I don't think they'll talk sales. Their earnings release is in about 2 weeks, that's where we'll hear official sales numbers.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
I mean, is that really true? This sold like nothing on the 3DS, atleast on Wii U it would have better graphics going for it. And the graphics seem to be the main thing that turned people off the game.

Where the hell is Pikimin 4? I recall Nintendo saying the game was done.

We're getting a new game.

High chance they cancel the WiiU version in favor of Switch. Don't expect to see it soon when there's a 3DS game coming out.
People like Nintendo games.
People don't like Nintendo console hardware.
It is what it is.
I REALLY don't think so.... Would LOVE to be wrong....
Possibly some small 3DS game but nothing of note.
GAF is bipolar. We shat on the Wii U, but when Nintendo ended production, nostalgia and oh noez hit GAF that they regret Wii U going to the grave. That was a good fake BTW. Fooled me initially too. And I would double dip all those games for Switch too.

What software was there was typically very good. You can admire a system's software library for its quality and still rail against it for quantity and complete fuck ups in other areas.

I think every worldwide Direct in the past has had at least one new game anouncement. You're right that it could be a 3DS game, probably a solid chance of that.

Let's not act like we didn't all just use the sticks to draw the shapes, no one used the touchscreen.
Thinking about it, I don't believe the game would need any altering at all. You can use the sticks to do any drawing like sane people did in the first place and there is that picture on picture stuff for any second screen parts of the game.
Wonderful 101 whilst not perfect could be fully completed on the Switch without any adjustments.

Expect rage.
"Why are Nintendo supporting the 3DS?!? Switch not a true handheld confirm."
The game really works better using the right stick to draw instead of the touch screen. The only exception is with the more complex patterns you have to draw to uncover some secrets

I'm expecting rage from ARMS or Splatoons release date
Skittzo0413

Eh that'll happen regardless of what's announced. Even a $60 two pack of Metroid Prime 4 and Metroid Dread won't satisfy everyone if the 3DS gets even 2 seconds of discussion.
I give it until November before they actually fully wind down 3DS support.

Splatoon 2 date sounds unreasonable, maybe they'll announce release month. I expect date announcement at E3.

Almost done =/= done. It may be done now but they never said that. Also seems a bit hasty to assume this is a separate project from the 3DS one anyway.
Why did you make this. Why.

This would be the perfect opportunity to detail 2017 VC Switch plans, just sayin'.

The hype for this direct is off the rails.

Psh, don't expect such a huge megaton.
As mentioned before, The Pokémon Company would more likely do such a reveal either in a separate Pokémon Direct or in a random reveal.
Either way, I wouldn't expect a straight port of Sun/Moon. Maybe we'll get Stars sometime before E3, but that remains to be seen (& that's assuming that Stars is even real).

Same. I'm not expecting a reveal date only a reveal month.

Hopefully they'll announce a new Splatoon 2 global test. I missed the first one because my Switch didn't arrived in time.
If you were to buy a Wii U now, you've a console with ~25 great exclusive games to pick up.
If you bought a Wii U at launch you had a console that in the space of 65 months would have ~25 great exclusive games released. That's an average of one game every three months. It was painfully frustrating to actually live through.
Time will be kind to the Wii U's library. It won't be kind to the way Nintendo handled the system.

W101 is fully playable in off-screen mode or with the Pro Controller on Wii U. They'll pop up a little picture-in-picture screen for the few moments in the game when you need two screens, and all the touch screen controls can be done (usually much more easily) with the right analogue stick.
Porting the game wouldn't be a problem; unfortunately actually making any money on a port would be, though.
The two of you are making the mistake of assuming the people asking for this didn't buy those games in the first place. I have most of those games on my wiiu, I would gladly buy them on the switch.

Actually, I'd wager most of us are happy to see the Wii U be ushered out. I sure don't regret selling mine ahead of the PS4 Pro and Switch releases one bit.
