What have you been right about and can you link us to proof that you got it right beforehand?
I don't trust anyone except Emily and LKD anymore after all the frauds that have been exposed.

A port and a remaster are quite different so which one is it?
You are so full of hope
Publisher only. Developer Bondy went the way of the Dodo.

A port of a remaster. A downgraded version of gta 5 remaster.
It will have third party support. But given that the phrase is almost exclusively used for western AAA support, not so much of it.
Forgive me, but jokes are never particular obvious in these kind of threads. See Ghosttricks post for reference.

I think what people are saying is that if they're pushing it as a console and it's not where the PS4 and Xbox One are, then they shouldn't charge $300 for it. I mean, next year there's a good chance both of those platforms are going to drop to $250 at some point. So, Nintendo would then have a platform that's not only weaker but also costs more. Are they expecting people to put that much value into the handheld aspect of it? Particularly in the west?
If they learned one thing about the two Wii releases it should be the importance of pricing. They nailed it with the Wii, hitting a sweetspot that made people want to jump on board right away. And they failed miserably with the Wii U. Overestimating just how much people would value a tablet-like controller.
So vanilla PS3 GTA5? :O

Nah, just sane expectations. Except for Zelda's team by the time Switch is release, it'll be 2 to 3 years since Nintendo's teams have released something big.
3D World was 2013, DKCTF was Feb 2014, MK8 was May 2014, SSB was Nov 2014, Xeno X was April 2015 and Splatoon was May 2015. I can understand Mario Maker having a port since that kind of game isb't tied to story mode routes or whatever.
I can't understand these teams only coming up with empty hands, save for Monolith Soft. They just cant come up with ports.
Citation needed. Because I haven't seen this mentioned too much.
No matter what Nintendo says, tech wise this is a portable with a dock and not a home console. It's powerful enough for what it is.
And yea they expect people to value the portable aspect of it, that's the main selling point.

They're likely just showing launch window games.
Potentially the greatest launch line up ever if so.
You purposefully forgot 3D Mario, the new IP and Retros game, didn't you?
PS4 and Xbone are already $250 and have been even less with some discounts.
It's pretty safe to assume those teams are working on non-port projects.
Getting warmer!

Smash isn't Nintendo teams tho. It's Bandi Namco.
I can neither confirm nor deny this. But I will put smiley emotes in my post to suggest you're right, while leaving myself enough room to cover my ass if I'm wrong.
I'll say bullshit. Laura talked about Rockstar at some point, and said that RDR2 won't happen because of the relation between Rockstar and Nintendo. No reason why GTAV would be any different.
I still believe that only revealing projects that will come out around the launch window would be disappointing.

If that's all they have to show, Switch is DOA.
I didn't because we saw nth of the 3D Mario and this one will have the task to make it exciting, which 3D World failed to do for many reasons. As for "new IP" and "Retro's game", these are meaningless things. At this point, Retro's game/secret project is a meme.

Interesting. Why?
The Hardcore fans would obviously jump in even if they are upset about ports, but wouldn't ports and a couple new games intrigue new buyers?
It sure will be disappointing but that'll likely happen. Maybe one game or two will be shown that are planned further in the year but E3 will have more too and that's less than 3 months after launch.
And of course, BoTW may be planned for November so does it count?
I'm just saying that to piss out people who believe in a June release which still doesn't makes sense to me
I've heard about an unexpected new IP from an unexpected studio, maybe not revealed at the Jan.12 event, coming at some point for the Switch, and there's a E in the game's title ! It has innovative gameplay features like moving the character, do things with it and ultimately reaching a goal.

He's just a troll.
Any console launching with a 3D Mario and Zelda not long after is far from DOA.
Add in the likes of Mario Kart & Splatoon, as well as a full on Mario RPG and its obvious he's just trying for a reaction.
ETERNAL DARKNESS BY RETRO!
Clearly a dating sim by Platinum Games then.
Eh? I don't understand this. What does a new game have to do with a port of an old game?
Is it Mare-o the new horse platformer
Is Mare-o a undersea horse? It better be.
She implied that we shouldn't expect anything from Rockstar due do this relation.

Ah, trolling I see.
Move along.
It's not trolling, you'll see why in my answer to the following post.
Because initial word of mouth is really important. Selling a console is also selling a premise of a support but also a certain philosophy. Basically, it tells who you are targeting, what is your mindset for a product.
What hurted Wii U was this lack of initial hype and the lack of hype for games.
Ports wont intrigue buyers because these people weren't interested with Wii U.
I think you overstretching it now. This kind of bullshit "insider info" that says actually nothing should be forbidden. You're throwing mud at a wall and see what sticks without taking any actual responsibility.
Might be a port, might be a remaster, might be at Switch event, maybe not, might be release in the next century or not.
Would they really hold a generations' old grudge in the face of money to be made, though?
If the Switch is a success I can see them getting their toes wet at least, they did release 3 Wii games last gen.
There's obviously more too it than that.
Okay. I don't believe that at all. Rockstar put Bully on the Wii. I don't believe for a moment that they'll avoid putting their games on Nintendo hardware if there's a market for it.
