FTFY. Seriously, people are getting ignorant by now.

I think that's a little cruel. I genuinely don't think anyone really believes half the things they say in these threads, it's just fun to get caught up in the hype to a degree.

90% of the stuff I predicted won't happen. Except Farming in the Zelda DLC, which is an absolute lock.

EDIT: Unless you're referring to people misreading the "2017" thing? In which case yeah, that's just people jumping to conclusions.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I see people actually think Nintendo won't talk about anything outside of 2017.

lol.

I agree. Odyssey will surely be delayed to Q1 2018.

 

[Thatanas]

I see people actually think Nintendo won't talk about anything outside of 2017.

lol.

There's people actually thinking it will be just Mario, Arms and Splatoon 2. Like, how could you even think this?

Ah well, let's not let it distract us. I'm hyped, I'm there, I'm game. Body is ready, hypetrain and all that.

 

[fabricated backlash]

It's comforting to see that the traditional E3 Nintendo stupidity on GAF is going strong once again.

Seriously it's like each year the collective Iq drops in equal measure as the concern trolling rises.

 

[asagami_]

3DS games?

BELIEEEEVE

 

[Okami Haundo]

VIRTUAL CONSOLE HYPE

Holy shit, I'm so pumped for that! I'm hoping that VC will also be the start of Nintendo Switch rewards on My Nintendo. Just give me something to spend my goddamn points on!

 

[oti]

Is this gif the new hotness or is this just an insane coincidence?

Nah, I just copied it.

 

[10k]

They somehow made it even less exciting then last year. Only games coming out this year eh? The same games we've known about for months. Oh and that Rabbids game.

i'm still deep into Zelda.

Maybe you should actually read the press release.

 

[Jacce]

What about WiiU?

Nobody gives a shit about the WiiU. Everyone is better off pretending like we had a 4-5 year gap of Nintendo consoles after Wii until the Switch.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

They somehow made it even less exciting then last year.

If Odyssey turned out to be as good as Breath Of The Wild that'd be pretty exciting to me.

 

[fabricated backlash]

-computing-

Ah stupid auto fill...

 

[Always-honest]

Fuccck... i'm going to buy myself a Switch after E3, aren't i?....

 

[Skittzo0413]

You... might wanna actually read the OP and the rest of the thread.

Suffice it to say, they will discuss games not launching in 2017 the same way they discussed games that were not ARMS and Splatoon 2 in last month's Direct.

 

[schaft0620]

This is probably right on the mark. I would add one tease about Retro's game though, they've been working on that shit forever.

I would have thought so too until today, I just don't see it as a 2017 game. It would have been on stage in Jan.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

10k please tell us with your insider knowledge that hasn't been conjectured by other insiders as surely only you would have the hot scoops to make such comments.

 

[XandBosch]

True, unless the "2017" thing is a misnomer, OR Nintendo Japan didn't think it would be a game that Japan would be interested in..

 

[maxcriden]

"Available to view in local languages live at Nintendo of Europe’s E3 2017 website, this presentation will offer more details about Super Mario Odyssey and other Nintendo Switch games, with a focus on games launching this year."

Focus on in Nintendo PR has always meant "mainly but not only."

So, some 2018 stuff will be shown if this is accurate.

I agree. Odyssey will surely be delayed to Q1 2018.

Not a chance. They said it was mainly complete in January.

 

[Zedox]

My body is ready.

 

[oti]

🤔

In order for them to make it "even less exciting" wouldn't they need to show less games than in 2016?

🤔

So zero games then?
🤔

Spoiler

Artificial scarcity of game announcements

🤔

 

[Solid SOAP]

Would like to see Virtual Console detailed: still holding out for Mother 3 as well because I am a chump 🤞

They'll actively remove previously announced games from your memory.

 

[ggx2ac]

After E3 2017:

"Of course they were going to announce games coming out in 2018. But they need games out now, people are starving for games on Switch."

 

[ramparter]

well yeah I know but some people are saying that it might be and that that would be fine. It wouldn't be fine. it would be shit.

No I don't wanna see games coming next year.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I was just joshing.

 

[GasProblem]

Really interested in Odyssey and Xenoblade 2.

Just announce Animal Crossing Switch Nintendo, please

I got shivers reading that, someone will undoubtedly say this exact thing.

 

[Jubenhimer]

My guess is that the Nintendo Spotlight is going to be similar in format to the new Nintendo Directs. Where the Major games like Mario Oddyssey get detailed segments, but other stuff gets announced too in a rapid fire succession. If they can pack in a lot of content in a short amount of time, then this could be amazing.

 

[maxcriden]

True, unless the "2017" thing is a misnomer, OR Nintendo Japan didn't think it would be a game that Japan would be interested in..

The EU PR indicates content beyond 2017 will be shown:

"Available to view in local languages live at Nintendo of Europe’s E3 2017 website, this presentation will offer more details about Super Mario Odyssey and other Nintendo Switch games, with a focus on games launching this year."

Focus on in Nintendo PR has always meant "mainly but not only." I don't think retro's title is 2017. Even if it weren't Japanese oriented, it is a major title so I'd have been surprised if it weren't shown in January. Then again I suppose we could still see some big titles announced at E3 for 2017.

 

[Aostia]

With Xeno2 clearly be delayed to 2018 , the arms and Splatoon big focus with he tournaments and the 3ds late life cycle product also with the he revision I wonder how much the Switch outlook will disappoint

 

[T.O.P]

-Pokemon Stars
-Metroid Prime VC
-New Metroid

All i need

The NOA PR also says "focus on 2017 games", it's quoted in the OP. The only thing which doesn't use the term "focus" is the actual tweet from NOA.

We've been trying to clear this up for the past many pages, but people don't seem to be paying attention to the actual PR.

 

[wildfire]

If Odyssey turned out to be as good as Breath Of The Wild that'd be pretty exciting to me.

If the Odyssey themed booth one ups BOTW booth I'll be jealous I won't be there in person.

I'm curious if the theory that Mario's Odyssey will traverse the worlds of games across multiple different series holds true. I 'm curious how Nintendo will handle the original Super Mario bros on pc.

 

[jmizzal]

Nintendo always says things like "with a focus on games launching in 2017." and then show off things thats not coming that same year.

 

[jorgejjvr]

I like that it's only Switch games, a D not 3ds

Bureau only 2017? Perhaps a direct at the end of the the year. Or who knows, Mayne they will still surprise us

 

[Irishonion]

Bring it!

Please Pokemon switch(stars) is all I want, everything else would be extra toppings.

No joshing allowed in Nintendo threads. :O

 

[casiopao]

Should we prepare the hype train now lol?^^

 

[TZchassis]

Retro project(s) and Botw-like focus on Odyssey and I'm happy

 

[XandBosch]

-Pokemon Stars
-Metroid Prime VC
-New Metroid

All i need

I'd pay more for a version of Prime on Switch that utilized the dual analogue sticks.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

I dunno man, I heard that Mario Odyssey was the only switch game coming out and also it's cancelled.

 

[CentralScrutinizer]

I agree. Odyssey will surely be delayed to Q1 2018.

I know you're just joking but Odyssey is most likely already done and sitting on the shelf until November.

 

[jack_package_200]

Super Mario Odyssey
Fire Emblem Warriors
ARMS
Splatoon 2
Skyrim
Mario x Rabbids

Thats all I am expecting tbh

I would be extremely extremely shocked if Animal Crossing isn't shown. The iOS version was supposed to be out by now and they delayed it for a mysterious (

Spoiler

to tie it in and promote it along side the sooner than later Switch version

) reason.

They announced that the AC mobile game was moved to this FY right? While I'd love it to come out this year, I'm thinking that's an early 2018 game.

 

[iFirez]

I hate that Nintendo put their showcases at 5pm UK time... it means I can watch the first 30mins in work and then I have to sprint home and rewind the stream a little the catch the rest.
