[Little Mons†er]

Bayonetta 2 , Fire Emblem Awakening, Sin and Punishment 2, Monster Hunter (4 i think) huh, those come to mind

Okay that's quite substantial new announcements

PerchED already

 

[NolbertoS]

This. Not even the New 3DS is powerful enough to emulate a GameCube.

New 3DS emulated Majora's Mask and Zelda 64 alright. I would kill for a Skies of Arcadia 3DS remake

 

[Atheerios]

Are you serious about Pokemon Switch?

There's 0% chance about that. Pokemon's CEO said they won't talk about it until Ultra SM releases.

 

[Thoraxes]

sorry lol

/v/ got one of the directs right and someone there leaked the January switch conference

Well, that basically lines up with what my expectations were, since I was really only expecting DLC dates, and Skyrim/XC2 to be dated.

 

[Owari]

Animal crossing and smash are the only things I can be hyped about for Switch atm

 

[CheckMate]

Have a feeling Mother 3 is going to announced tomorrow. Reggie already made a comment on Mother and Metroid, and now that Metroid had its time at E3.... Just show it ffs.

 

[Atheerios]

New 3DS emulated Majora's Mask and Zelda 64 alright. I would kill for a Skies of Arcadia 3DS remake

No. Those were remakes, not emulation.

[Owari]

sorry lol

/v/ got one of the directs right and someone there leaked the January switch conference

Yawn if true.

 

[BTA]

Is that game really *that* good? I played like the first 5 hours of it and liked it well enough but I put it down for other stuff.

For reference my first Atlus game I played from start to finish was Persona 5 and I thought it was great but definitely flawed as well.

I loved it. It's not really aiming for the same thing as P5 (which is to say it lacks all the simulation aspects) but personally I actually enjoyed its combat a lot more than P5's! To be fair I don't play a ton of RPGs but it made me understand the point of buffs and rebuffs (by demanding their use for bosses) in a way I had never really felt before, and along with the ways attacks chain together that made me think way more about strategy and skill usage than I normally do. It made me feel smart about how I played it and learned to get better at it in a way the other RPGs I've played didn't.

(And to be clear I liked P5 quite a bit too, but yeah.)

 

[Neoxon]

You do realize that they won't talk about Pokémon Switch until after US/UM come out & are out for a few months, right?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

 

[EhoaVash]

Mario odyssey trailer will have Mario using Cappy on a Yoshi. This Mario becoming Yoshi

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

/v/ is not a person, dudes.

 

[Clefargle]

If you had shownn me this bingo sheet at the beginning of the year, I'd ask "why no metroid?". Crazy to think that since then 2 metroid games would be announced. Wew

 

[tiebreaker]

sorry lol

/v/ got one of the directs right and someone there leaked the January switch conference

That sounds so boring that it's probably true.

Edit: Nevermind. Too many games listed and no 3DS.

 

[dimmer]

An insider friend who predicted that Nintendo would announce a Mario game back in January just texted me this very serious leak, share it with care GAF.

#TeamBelieveWiiU2

 

[KojiKnight]

No. Those were remakes, not emulation.

Remasters.

They ported the original game with enhancements. The game uses most of the original scripts for events, including several that were unused even in the original game. I'd absolutely love a behind the scenes of these games at some point, but it seems unlikely so TCRF stuff will have to do.



But yes, regular 3DS is even too weak to emulate the N64, and the N3DS would still lack the oomph to emulate gamecube (let alone the fact that it's screen resolution is way too small).

 

[DecoReturns]

I can never read those /v/ leaks on mobile.

 

[Plum]

Can we stop posting the 4chan rumour?
1) Anyone can post an anonymous "leak" on 4chan, they're even less credible than a predictions list here
2) The leak itself has barely any content for a 45 minute Direct unless Nintendo, for some reason, goes back to their old style
3) It doesn't include 3DS titles despite the Direct's description saying otherwise

 

[boiled goose]

No. Those were remakes, not emulation.

(And n64, not GameCube lol)

 

[Regiruler]

There's at least 2 slots that could have been something platinum related.

 

[Linkura]

Have a feeling Mother 3 is going to announced tomorrow. Reggie already made a comment on Mother and Metroid, and now that Metroid had its time at E3.... Just show it ffs.

I won't believe it until I see it. I've been burned way too many fucking times by now.

 

[Gormless Noodle]

The Fallout 4 thing makes it very unlikely. I mean Bethesda would want to look at how Skyrim does first I would presume.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I bet this is all correct but there are new announcements not shown

 

[DeuceGamer]

I was keeping my hype in check and only expecting dates for known titles, but after watching the GameXplain discussion and the fact that it's such a long Direct my hype levels are rising a bit. Still not expecting a lot though as I'd rather be surprised than disappointed.

 

[BiggNife]

Man I would love #FE on Switch. I never got a chance to play it on Wii U and a Persona style RPG would be perfect to play in portable mode.

 

[ladyluthien]

I am excited for the direct, feels like forever since the last one. I am really hoping for some VC news and selfishly a couple new 3DS titles.

#3 solves #2 (assuming there are enough 3DS games to fill the rest of the time with), but #1 reigns supreme!

Never Forget the 4chan pre January 13th leak though, that was nuts. I love how they thought Mario's hat in the logo was a plane hehehehe

 

[Ex-Psych]

/v/ how the leak focuses on Switch when the direct is both Switch and 3ds.

We still don't know that unknown 3ds kirby game.

 

[Kouriozan]

sorry lol

/v/ got one of the directs right and someone there leaked the January switch conference

Last time we got a "leak" like this, it was completely false.

 

[Protome]

I completely forgot that second BOTW DLC was meant to come out this year. Makes sense for them to show it off here, that'll be neat.

I hope they also dedicate 20 minutes apologising for the online app and explaining their plans to roll out a real online/party chat/ voice chat system to the Switch in early 2018.

 

[thekonamicode]

Fallout 4 sucks

Damn right.

 

[Fantastical]

Are the Fallout rumors just from the 4chan post?

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Nice, this is exciting.

 

[TDLink]

Are the Fallout rumors just from the 4chan post?

No. Some retailers listed it. So there's at least -something- behind it.

 

[Instro]

Are the Fallout rumors just from the 4chan post?

I think there was a retail listing recently that sparked the rumors. Also Pete Hines slipped up, and mentioned an unannounced game releasing later this year.

 

[silva1991]

This will be it except for the FO4 I think.

 

[WordAssassin]

Last time we got a "leak" like this, it was completely false.

Yeah but back in January we got one like that and it was totally true

WHO TO BELIEVE??

Edit: I don't have Fallout 4 yet so I might get it for Switch if it's real. I have 3 and New Vegas on 360, I should play those sometime... *stares bleakly at backlog*

Also, Lobster Shirt in BotW FINALLY

 

[KingBroly]

Last time we got a "leak" like this, it was completely false.

The January 12th leak was dead-on.

The BotW DLC sounds like it's the most legitimate, to me.

 

[Not75Drops]

Why are people still quoting that "leak"? Didn't Vern say that a direct was happening the day before that post was made?

As someone already said, 4chan isn't a person. Literally anyone can just post shit. Also again, there are no 3DS games even mentioned.

 

[TreasureHunterG]

I'm afraid Nintendo will only show already revealed titles footage, no surprises. I hope I'm wrong.

Some people here have BIG expectations, wow!

 

[sonto340]

The January 12th leak was dead-on.

The BotW DLC sounds like it's the most legitimate, to me.

I could
Go post a bullshit rumor on /v/ right now.

Without a trip code it’s not anywhere near verifiable in anyway.

 

[Xbro]

You guys realize that the January 12 leak was NOT "Dead on" right? They leaked everything that you would find on a show floor after the event. Xenoblade 2 was not in that leak. There will not be a show floor following this direct.

 

[NSESN]

Unless a leak show some 3DS stuff I doubt it is true. Specially there are many things to talk about USUM yet.

This will be it except for the FO4 I think.

No 3DS is your clue that this is fake.

 

[Kolibri]

Startropics 3 incoming

 

[wild wild rice]

Where's that sushi carousel game?

 

[Chibot]

How about a Pikmin 4 trailer and a surprise December release? And there's got to be info on Switch apps.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

You guys realize that the January 12 leak was NOT "Dead on" right? They leaked everything that you would find on a show floor after the event. Xenoblade 2 was not in that leak. There will not be a show floor following this direct.

Not only that but they filled in a ton of things with their own conclusions. Mario's hat being a plane and ARMS looking like it was made by Platinum.

Funny how no one ever cites the one /v/ leak that said Sin and Punishment 3 and Tokyo Mirage Sessions Switch were being announced at E3!
