I think its going to be a heavily enhanced port. Upgraded engine, new content, new stages new characters and the title will be "Super Smash Bros for Switch". I don't see them making a new game from scratch.

And I doubt its going to be announced in this direct.

There was another tweet from Kamiya which dropped hints about W102 a month or two ago too.

That hint can just as well be interpreted as a W101 port.

Is there credible info out there that platinum has something new in the works? I thought people were expecting bayonetta and w101 ports based on some tweets.

They're on the Switch partner list, Kamiya has been free since Scalebound got killed, and Hashimoto hasn't been involved in anything since Star Fox Zero afaik. They're a work-for-hire studio so it's obvious that they have to be up to something. Whatever Kamiya's doing has to be super early though.

Yes they had an interview about the design methodology they had for designing a game for the switch.
 
What I want to see for Switch

NINTENDO
Super Smash Bros Deluxe (few new characters and stages along with a proper story mode)
Super Mario Maker (Everything from the original along with new items, features and tile sets)
Metroid Prime Trilogy HD

PLATINUM
Bayo 1&2 collection
W101
W102 announced

CAPCOM
Megaman legacy 1&2 collection
Disney afternoon collection
Viewtiful Joe HD

SEGA
Super Monkey Ball Switch (Remaster of the Deluxe version from PS2/Xbox with online play)
Nights HD
Burning Rangers HD




LETS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!
 
We would be a lot saner in general if we don't try to connect dots regarding who retweets what and when.

I remember people thinking some major Xenoblade announcement was happening (I think Shulk in Smash? happened eventually, but not that time) because Soraya Saga retweeted a Direct announcement and it ended up being nothing.

They announce wonderful 102 it should use motion control instead of drawing. Need a square flip the joycon, pro controller or switch up. Need a triangle flip it left, need a circle flip it right.

Would be playable in all modes including one joycon. That would be baller
 
I don't think anything has been pointing towards smash being in the direct so I'd recommend people adjust their expectations in that regard.
Would be neat, though.

This time last year we had a Nintendo Direct and were still blood thirsty for NX news. Wow, how far we have come in such a short time

Three announcements that would shake me to my core:

Metroid Prime Trilogy HD
Dark Souls Switch Edition
Pikmin 4
Click to expand...

I am not picking on you just found your wording funny. So, really, Pikmin 4 "would shake you to your core"?

I took a second to ponder what to me would meet this same reaction. The first thing I really thought of was if all the top scientists united, somehow, took over every coms channel imaginable anything connected to a wireless source was broadcasting the same thing and there was no way to stop it. That overused shot of the camera directed up at the "Justin Long" type announcing imminent destruction while hes looking down with his head phones plugged in.

You know its serious because how could the US, N. Korea, Russia, China and so on, all of their top scientists possibly be uniting to give us this message. Only in annihilation do we become friends? Well, only kind of sort of. They announce that due to all the sub terrainian drilling, underground nuclear tests, and trying to harness geothermic energy that welp "we may have cracked the earth like an egg. The crack is slowly spreading so we scheduled time for this announcement and two questions." "You" one points at "Whats going to happen" "Oh, well you are all going to die, shortly, but it should be quickly. We don't know how much pain you are going to suffer but there will be some." "And You" "When you say that we are going to suffer what do you mean?" "Perfect question and timing, what that means is that we have to go. This building behind us is also a rocket that will take us away while you are here... on Earth... While it cracks like an egg... Well bye then!" The scientists walk to building where large hydraulic doors open and close. For a brief glimpse inside I can see what resembles one of those impromptu volley ball games light beer commercials convince you happen all the time. For a second I am Jealous but I see NDT without a shirt and think. Nah, they can keep their Lim-o-rita's. The last thing the cameras capture is a shuttle lift off with the Amazon logo on the outside. I'd probably think I should complain to customer service but I wont have the time.

Then Id sit on the closest steps I could find just thinking. I have no idea what thoughts I would have. Is the earth crack close? The scientists seemed to be in a hurry to leave so its probably cracking pretty fast but I mean. How would you even quantify the speed of cracking earth. Id think about not seeing my family wife or son again. Wonder if I lived whats considered a "good life" if I am a "good person" when all is said and done. Id look around. There would probably be a massive amount of crime and I would just wonder "But... why?" Then I would wonder once whatever physical reaction that happens when a planet cracks what will it be like. When I die of what ever it would be that killed me is there a God. What would he/she/it be like, what an intriguing thought I may meet God today if there is one. I don't think there is but I will know for certain. After the preceding events and thoughts that would shake me to my core.

And then I would sit and wait. I would try to clear my mind of everything. It would be clear. I would be at Peace. But I have always been a bit of a devious prankster and at the very center of my calm inner being it would still fire one neuron of a memory into my brain.

And it would be this. " Remember when you were thinking about that kid that was going to be "shook to his core" by some mostly primary color half plant half animal things that are completely and utter useless by themselves and get eaten by frogs and shit."

Breathe in hold, push out the stress.

"Did you realize in the most absurd way you wrote a post about being shook to your core and in that same post the planet was kind of shook to its core too?"

A smirk and a slight chuckle. "I'll miss you brain"

Rumbling starts. Screams in the distance.

Nothing.

Given that Sakurai is (probably) working on something else, I don't think we'll be seeing a brand new Smash anytime soon.

That, and I still play Smash 4 all the time and I don't want to lose that beautiful roster anytime soon. HD Smash Run and Magicant would be divine.

(god dammit, I swore to finally put Smash 4 Switch behind me and now Source Gaming's got me all hyped up again. Will the ride ever end?!?)

Of all the Saturn games, you went with Burning Rangers? If you're gonna dream, at least go big. Shining Force 3 complete edition! Full translation! Or how about Dragon Force?

I agree with everything you said 500%. I'm guessing it will be a Holiday 2018 title, they can reveal it in the January Direct or at next E3. I really doubt it's happening here, there's no reason to tease it this early.

I hope it's that too and hopefully a adventure like mode makes a comeback. Really missed that in Smash 4.

2018 is my bet.
 
We will get a rundown of the remainder of their 2017 lineup along with dates for everything. They will show off most of their lineup for early next year. I'd expect to see Kirby and Yoshi from Nintendo. Along with a few other surprise announcements for Spring 2018. I could see Mario Maker and Pikmin 4 announced for Spring 2018. As for 3rd parties, I see it being mainly the focused on Q4 2017- Q2 2018. Expecting mostly ports and smaller projects from 3rd parties. With Platinum Games having a major title(s) unveilled for Switch.

I don't think we will see Fire Emblem Switch until after Warriors releases. I don't think we will see Metroid Prime 4 until after Samus Returns released. I don't think we will see Pokemon Switch until after US/UM release. Finally, I don't see Animal Crossing Switch being announced before the mobile title has been revealed. Given Nintendo's strategy for Mobile and how it pertains to their long term growth; they will want to release the mobile title first then the Switch version.

True.

I still don't have my hopes up.

I'm thinking they will reveal Super Smash Bros. Switch at the NWC Championship in October as Nintendo has said they will be unveiling a new game there. I'm not sure if Nintendo would unveil such a major game there but they seem to be going all out for this.

I thought despite having nothing to talk about, they were pretty good at setting expectations last year instead of letting people speculate like crazy. It was never what any of us wanted to hear, but it was better than getting excited for reveals that would never happen.
