I bet we get a lot of leaked info before then. Unless every major news site saw it early and Nintendo NDAed them to heck an back, expect a race to see who can leak the most first.

Omg all of a sudden it's getting hard. It's getting real hard! I keep thinking we'll finally see Retros game and 3D Mario fully in 10 days! It's too hard just thinking about it now.
Don't do this to yourself...
Phrasing!
Also if anyone is interested in speedrunning, AGDQ starts Sunday and that might help pass the time between then and the Switch info dump.
This week will be slow though.
We are born of the hype, made gaffers by the hype, undone by the hype.

I think that is perfectly reasonable expectation.
I hadn't considered that. A week of leaks confirmed, I should probably stay off gaf.
I unsubscribed to this thread for the past month and it made time fly by fast. That's also because of Christmas, a birthday and New Year happening.
But there's still CES before this event kicks off. I'll be unsubscribing to this thread again. Looking for Switch information and hoping for it every day just makes it unbearable and the wait that much harder.

Even if that game comes to Switch, you have four years to wait at the earliest.
Yeah, CES shoud be fun it its own weird way. Then we have AGDQ to pass the time and then BAM Switch event.

Same. I'm crazy excited but trawling for news makes it worse.
What is AGDQ? Dragon Quest event?
The truth has come out!

Boo. They're so nice though.
AGDQ is Awesome Games Done Quick. It's a speedrunning event done for charity with the Prevent Cancer Foundation. Their Summer Games Done Quick (SGDQ) works with Doctors without Borders.
It's a really awesome week long marathon.
More info can be found here: https://gamesdonequick.com/
I'm excited cause my friend will be on the couch this year and commentating a bit for Moon Crystal.

It's okay Vooks... I'll be playing Switch on the 14th and 15th in Tokyo
Yeah I'll be playing in Melbourne on the 15th
...
But honestly I hope your Doom mock-up comes true. I need that game on the go.
Hell yeah! Doom is my GOTY, I'd love it portable. Hopefully the Switch can hack it.

This is the Nintendo Switch Discussion Thread, not the Nintendo Switch Gloating Thread
Wish I could have gone to the one in London but I've got exams during it; guess I'll have to wait till March like everyone else.
I hope so, though to be honest I don't need to play it as I already know I'm getting it. I just hope that Nintendo branches out in Britain from just doing London and Edinburgh/Glasgow, that always seems to be the case with things like this.

I'm sure GAME will charge £5 for the privilege.

Low change. It's not in the target of N-gamers. Since n64 id-software did their best not to bring their games to N-hardware.

totally missed that lol..nevermind then!

Technically he said "since N64" so I was just pointed out that there actually was some Doom/id stuff on Nintendo hardware after the fact lol

The only bad thing about Doom is that it was almost too good.
I bet the James Buckley advert for the Switch will be laugh-a-minute
Oh I see. Well meh it's not for me if it's just watching others play. Hope the rest of you enjoy it though.

If the MK , Splatoon and Smash bros ports are as good as expected and hey have nice, worthy updates they will have a very nice competitive base. Nothing to wait for.
Are you complaining that you have to rebuy the game?
Go and tell that to the Madden/Fifa crowd. They will have a laugh.

In terms of either Zelda or Mario at launch, I think the best combo would be Mario and Skyrim at launch with Zelda and Mario RPG coming a few months later; or Zelda and Mario RPG at launch with Mario and Skyrim coming a few months later. Mario and Mario RPG launching at the same time (or Zelda and Skyrim at the same time) seems like too much overlap of Mario or open world games respectively.
