2 hours and 40 minutes from now.
IIRC, it was out of one of the European events. I don't think it was much more than someone peaking behind the curtain.
US releases do sometimes have different names from in EU. For example, Rhythm Heaven/Paradise.
I'm still in favor of 2 Splat 2 Furious
2 hours 40 minutes from now
Interesting, thank you. I won't put stock in them, then.
NP. Take them with BOTW-sized chunks of rock salt, though!
11pm. Cool. Thankyou man.

Miitopia? Even Nintendo should know by now that nobody cares about Miis. Totally fake.
And the flying dungeon stuff is too good to be true and makes little sense. I mean if they put dungeons in the game, it would be the overworld which has so much free space for a couple of dungeons. Also they said only one dungeon and it comes at the end of the year.
I call bullshit.
boiled goose
good with gravy
Why would they charge an "upgrade" fee now if they won't in the future? I'm not buying shit on Nintendo digital accounts till this horrible practice is proven to be gone

80 VC games seems insane because Nintendo has been bad with VC. If they decided to be sane that is totally reasonable. It isnt goong to be 80 first party games.
Miitopia was a decent seller in JP and Tomodachi Life sold well here, as I believe the Mii Streetpass games did. So I think it will probably come. (Even if the leak is fake.)
Yeah there's no way that's happening after how poor it was on Wii U and 3DS.
Plus Yokai Watch Switch
Haha that'll never happen

I mean I believe you. But I also think they perhaps grasp how fucking bad it was on those systems and with one system to support going forward they wanna get a jump forward. The system is gonna have gaps. Release a chunk of VC and you solve a problem with content.

Hm? What?
Are you talking about the VC?
If true whats so woah about it? These are not even gamecube games, I suppose you already played these games countless of times before on Wii and 3DS VC. Nothing to whoa about.
Thanks, didn't know about it. But I don't really care either.

if you have the twitch app you could always set the resolution to "mobile". It'll be really blurry but it'll save you some bandwidth
Doubtful. Soraya Saga didn't retweet.

I know but Nintendo of A. already commented on "bye bye boxboy" not "boxboxboxboy good bye boxboy" and the long-ass title would be so hard to fit in the regular title layout used in this series. To me it is just a guy not knowing the game is already out in English and just trying to add some credibility to his bs by giving correct info about a game he assumes only released in Japan so far.
I'll settle for a "Stars" reveal!

is that leaked list legit?
man its 3DS heavy as fuck

In my mind I could see it going like this. The switch is a fresh start for a modern account system, so a starting point for account holders to carry content forward from. Wii-U owners pay a discounted rate for existing and qualifying purchases that exist on their Wii-U account since it wasn't nor will be technically apart of the same account system going forward.
It saves players a little cash to import and it provides Nintendo one last payment from those hardcore players that they have milked with their old practices, while it encourages them to trust the new Nintendo accounts in the future.
But I'm just trying to imagine the least abrasive outcome on an already stretched thin dream.
What if instead it's amazing and makes you buy all amiibos they ever made?
Even if Pokémon Stars is real, I wouldn't really get your hopes up for that being announced in this Direct.
As I've mentioned before, the initial reveal would be more likely to happen in either a separate Pokémon Direct (like what happened with Sun/Moon) or as a trailer dropping out of the blue with a press release (like what happened with OR/AS).

I feel like the absence of Fire Emblem Echoes makes that leak fake.
Yeah I already know that, Im just having fun. If all they were gonna do was an ORAS style teaser in May they might as well throw it in this Direct! Especially if Stars is an enhanced SuMo port.
In the meantime you can check the awesome Mario Kart 8 Deluxe website :

Brace yourself. 3DS will remain a focus for Nintendo until the end of the year at the earliest.
Eh, I have yet to see anything exciting for the 3DS this year.
The Pokémon Company kinda goes to the beat of their own drum. I'd imagine that they would want as much of the spotlight to themselves as possible when/if Stars gets revealed.
Probably as real as Sadness.
It's not really a focus anymore for Nintendo from a development perspective.
The game's that are slated to come out this year will come out but otherwise it's just about making loads of money from the 3DS profit margins in the years to come. Which is the case for every console ever.

I wouldn't be surprised if Virtual Console, as a term, is abandoned here and they use the "Nintendo Classics" branding from the Mini NES instead.
The information about the online service doesn't even refer to the free games as Virtual Console titles, does it?

Did everyone really think Nintendo was just gonna shut the door on the 3DS' userbase the moment the Switch hit the market?

How would you guys feel if they announced Wario Ware Amiibo, 100+ microgames centered around Amiibo...
for 3ds? Bundled with the amiibo reader.
I mean, as long as it doesn't hold back the Ice Climbers from coming back or any other content for the Switch version, I don't see the problem.
What?!
But I want Miitopia so much!!
I was even worried they wouldn't localize it due to low JP sales.
