Support NeoGAF

[Mbolibombo]

I will stay out of the prediction game because I'm not really good with them hehe, I didnt hit a single of the new releases on the previous Switch direct and not one with the E3 direct either hah. If I got a wish granted though it would be Southpark on the Switch. That would be stellar!

Outside of Skyrim being confirmed and Fallout 4 being teased, I'm not too sure what other big third party publishers are looking at the Switch outside of Ubisoft.

I mean if both Bethesda and Rockstar are going to release games on the Switch.. I wouldnt really be surprised to see something from anyone really. But who knows, I am definately more optimistic about third party support right now than I was half a year ago...

Gunvolt has always been in Runbow. They're just riffing the recent "leak".

Whew, thanks for that.

Source Gaming did an investigation into the Smash Bros tags that appeared in the Japanese Direct page. Seems it may be no accident. Click the tweet and read the whole thread. https://www.twitter.com/AllSourceGaming/status/907445479826448385

I always thought they'd save Smash for NWC.

....as someone who played a lot of runbow I feel bad for falling for it =|

Never really expected an announcement at NWC, but if it's announced before then I'd expect it to show up there.

I could definitely see it happening, I think people just aren't that excited about it.

The updates seem to come out at a regular schedule with no real fanfare. Doesn't seem like something they'd spend much, if any time on in a direct.

 

[Rezbit]

What time is this in Australian Eastern Time?

Also I love how some of you are really reaching for the sky haha. Why not get hyped.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

The hit game "Metroid Prime Federation Force" was announced at a NWC, so you know they always save the best for that event

 

[-Horizon-]

Envy = NV = New Vegas

Yooooo

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Maybe it's just wishful thinking but Splatoon 2 seems on track for a meaty update. At least new stages and music. We've been getting weapons pretty often but there's only been two stages (one for regular battles, the other for Salmon Run) post-launch. The game launched with more content than 1 did but I still feel like the big updates haven't hit yet. So I'm expecting that.

That was just Blast Ball, which was announced without the Metroid branding. Don't ask me why, since FF proper was announced just a few days later.

 

[hughesta]

which one of these do I assume is Bayonetta

Kamiya retweeted the Japanese Direct tweet. It could be in at least that one.

time for unlimited, baseless hype followed by an all time low

 

[SRTtoZ]

Achievements and a Dark Souls port pls

 

[Skittzo0413]

They could show a 2 minute Dark Souls announcement and 43 minutes of Reggie's armpit and I'd be incredibly hyped.

Nintendo working with third parties... It's good.

But I wonder if we could get another Nintendo collaboration announced tomorrow.

Star Foz Zero is great.

[Lizardus]

I'm not worried about first party but are you guys expecting any big 3rd party (western or Japanese) reveals?

I'm expecting Japanese ones because it being close to TGS.

Most are ports, making them far easier to bring to Switch. It also makes sense for them to do so due to the loss of Scalebound.

Automata may have saved the company, but they still need more money to make it out of the woods and fund new projects. It's win-win for everyone involved.

 

[Dark_castle]

I'm really excited for potential FE Switch reveal. Please happen!!

 

[Father_Brain]

I still say it's too early for anything more than a CG trailer for Fire Emblem 15 but this sounds about right otherwise. I'd also suspect that we'll get the first details on the Mario + Rabbids DLC and another reminder that Gold/Silver are coming to the Virtual Console given it'll be about a week away come Thursday.

 

[XandBosch]

The only reason I'd hope that 4Chan rumour is true is for Hotline Miami and Fallout 4 lol.

Are you me? Add a new Mario Baseball title and this is like my dream lineup for this(even though it seems pretty improbable)

 

[Mediking]

Somebody please tell me this 4chan rumor.

 

[XandBosch]

I shouldn't have to say it again, but keep dreaming for Animal Crossing. There's absolutely no way it's announced any time before AT LEAST next E3.

 

[Cartho]

I'd be hugely hyped if they did a big reveal of a large firmware update with streaming apps etc. Lots seem to be predicting this, is that based on anything that I've missed?

 

[Platy]

The only way this would be if they had a much bigger update that added gear, more than one map, game modes, etc in one patch.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

4chan leaks have gotten pretty dull in an effort to be believable. Gimme some fake hype man, it's funnier.

Gunvolt was already on Runbow on Switch though.

I miss Smash 4 "leaks" that were essays of magic and dreams.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

The fact that the leak lists Gunvolt as being "new" despite the fact that he was always in the game pretty much debunks the whole thing now that I think of it.

 

[Skittzo0413]

Am I the only one who thought Fallout 4 was just a really awful game? And I say this as someone who loves every Elder Scrolls game and loved Fallout 3 to death.

I'd much rather have DOOM from Bethesda.

Spoiler

Cue "if you have to ask if you're the only one then you're not"

 

[XandBosch]

I could see that 4chan rumour being true, even with that Runbow wrinkle.

I know right look at all those 3DS games on there...

 

[Professor Lexicovermis]

If Smash just gets casually dropped on a random September day, I'm gonna go berserk!

If it happens, I hope we see at least two new characters (though I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Ice Climbers and Snake back, I want newcomers!)!

 

[suicreeps]

I feel like they're going to name the new Legendary Necrozma forms 'Eclipse Form' it makes too much sense.

 

[Ex-Psych]

I know right look at all those 3DS games on there...

And how it decided to be conviently leaked after the announcement and not beforehand.
