There's always at least one new announcement.
Fantastical

I think the reason the January event was able to be leaked was because somebody was on the show floor of a preview event set up and revealed everything he saw. It's a lot more difficult to get hold of the contents in a Direct presentation, so I'm choosing not to believe that leak.

Worst part is I was one of the people who had faith in it. I guess it was the booth being set up that got me. Glad I ate a crow on that one.

There was only one time a Direct was actually leaked and that was when someone posted a screenshot of some folders containing press material. It was really weird but nothing like that has ever happened before or since with any of Nintendo's digital presentations.
"Logo has a plane in it, indicating a new flight mechanic."
Oh man I forgot about that. Swing and a miss.

I just think the Switch stuff is realistic for the most part.
I also think Bayo1/2 port will be announced too.

Devs are jumping aboard. They can have these little directs all year to announce things.

Boring enough to believe, not exciting enough to care about believing
They presented it like that but I was thinking they let slip you could flip it too.
Remember the April Direct leak
Yeah I'm playing
Smash Switch right now.
It's funny to see Wario Ware Amiibo again in recent "leaks" though

I can see the hat in Mario Odyssey looking like a plane.

That was their own extrapolation from seeing the logo, are we going to ignore that he described the logo of the game as well as the title?
He made some assumptions based off what he was setting up but everything on there was right and unknown prior to the conference. It's a good point to bring up that that was a conference with a physical demo setup for media though and not just a Direct, so the circumstances are a little different.
He nailed what he saw on the floor. He still missed key announcements.
There's absolutely no way someone could do the same for a direct presentation unless the direct precedes a show floor.
Just like how Mario Odyssey was a new SM64 style game where you could throw a hat and use it only to jump on. Definitely no more new mechanics were unveiled for that game at a later date.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
I'm no insider, but I would put lots of money on us hearing something about mobile Animal Crossing this week.
And such an announcement will in all likelihood be grouped with (at least) a confirmation that Animal Crossing Switch is coming next year.

oh I get that but he said he was involved with setting up the switch event. People keep bringing up the live conference leak like it holds weight in this situation.

Why would you do this to yourself to look into a /v/ Nintendo "leak".

I remember watching that trailer as it aired and noticing the 'plane'

For Yoshi, if you are playing Co-Op the levels can flip whenever you want. If you play single player, you go through the same level twice - once normally and once flipped. They were coy about being able to do it yourself IIRC.
That's how it was presented at E3 or on Treehouse at least. I really hope they change that because it sounds stupid as hell, if the mechanic to flip back and forth is already there why would they lock it behind Co-Op mode, just makes the single player sound tedious.

I don't think Chris has insider information outside of retailer blogs. Chris simply used a mix of past years having a direct before TGS, retailers saying a Direct was on the horizon, and Nintendo's window to release Lola Pop.

Not only that but there was already someone pretending to be the same guy doing the E3 setup, despite being on different continents and all.

I literally only changed this avatar for a few days on a whim but I've been avatarquoted so many times in the past week that I think I'm keeping it.

It aint Metroid, so fucking Donkey Kong it is.
Like the hat?

I want that fallout rumor to be true but I'd much rather have a f3/NV port

I don't think so.
I hope I'm wrong.

It's overdue for a reveal, but I still don't expect to see it before next E3.

Netflix and Youtube are absolute essentials and it still kills me they weren't here day 1.

Ah, good times. Good times...
I should point out that I was not the source of that leak, I merely posted it for Gaf's convenience.

I've never been so confused by a leak the way that Street Fighter 2 thing did.
Unfortunately that's next E3.

I'm glad I didn't see that leak until after the fact because it was such a WTF seeing Ultra SFII during the conference.

Please let there be a substantial Switch OS update.

If I remember correctly, the reason the Jan leak seemed pretty plausible beforehand was it tallied with a few recent trademarks that had flown under the radar.
So many people thought that was a typo and that it was supposed to be 4
But that would require Capcom to be.. not dumb. Sorry to ruin your dreams.

My shot in the dark is that Retro finished their game already and it's coming out in summer 2018 so maybe they'll announce it now.
Or maybe they'll wait for January or February.
I think Smash will launch with the Switch's online service though so I could see Smash getting announced.

My bet is E3 next year. It's their most western focused Studio, they kept Zelda, which is western focused as well, for E3. Whatever they are doing will probably be E3 next year.

Yup. Okami HD not coming to Switch either. Capcom being Capcom.
