It's obviously placeholders, and ones made quick and dirty. I hope the red box is based on something they know though at least, I want that
Had to look that up myself.
"Check the Classification"
It's put on some games that aren't out yet it seems

Or it will be a square box with CTC

If real, the red box for the publisher logo is a cool touch, but I wonder how vertical and colored logos will look in it.
Yea there is no reason to have Mario at launch, the only reason people think its launch is cuz of the rumors its ready for launch and the only reason people think Zelda isnt launch is the rumors it was gonna miss launch
If there were no rumors, everbody would say Zelda launch and Mario Fall 2017
Red Nintendo>>>>>>>>>>>>White Nintendo
I guess they don't want people to think it's an entirely new game, even if it does seemingly have a lot of new content.

Ever heard of "placeholders"???
I can see that but it might turn off the average consumer who just sees it as the same game despite what the box says.
Yes. Did you read the first part of my sentence where I said I knew it wasn't official?

If it's the guy I am thinking of, his was different and had small red tabs sticking down with the Switch logo on them and I think even he said the idea was someone else's.

Yes, I read where you said you knew it WAS official
but it seems like you believe there's a chance the game will be called Mario Kart 8.In the least, it will be called Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or something.
Mario Kart 8 More would be what I called it.
Ahh. Hopefully we get some clarification next week. I wonder if they'll show box art on the 12th

Deluxe or Turbo edition I could see. I just think that going with Mario Kart 8 alone is a bad move. Gotta remember that this is Nintendo we are talking about. It isn't like they haven't botched the name of something before.

I think the "name botching" doesn't really exist for their games.
You could say you didn't like New super Mario but sells speak for them self.

You didn't actually. It seems like a mistake, but you typed "are" instead of "aren't"

I think they will differentiate it somehow but I see the "8" staying.
Just calling it Mario Kart 8 would indeed be stupid.

I was more so referring to the Wii-U itself
Although a lot of people will get pissed if you call that 3DS game from last year Metroid: Federation Force. They prefer to not attach the Metroid name to it lolI was more so referring to the Wii-U itself
Only because Metroid fans kept setting themselves up for frustration and disappointment up to that point. The game itself was fine as a spinoff, but not following it up with anything else before or afterwards was definitely a weird move (though, could you blame them after Other M?). Hopefully, Nintendo haven't completely abandoned the series.

Playgirl.
Nude pics of Reggie.
According to a tweet from LKD, which she seems to have deleted, western print gaming outlets have their Switch stories ready to go, and got info ahead of the Switch event next Thursday. So Laura was speculating that we could see more leaks soon.
Yeah, but, what about Bill?

Let me just say that I saw the images and he's as vital as F-Zero isn't.

Apparently, according to Coro Coro Magazine in Japan, Breath of the Wild will be released on Spring 2017. I don't know if Coro Coro Magazine is legit or not. http://gonintendo.com/stories/27121...says-the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-i

Spring is from March to June anyway, so it doesn't help us either way.

Isn't Spring only through late May in Japan? I have no idea; only going by what I'm searching
I think so. And we saw his tongue.

Coro Coro is one of the biggest publications for kids in Japan, a lot of Pokémon leaks come from there first, so yeah, it's as legit as it can get
