I would love if they Launched Mario and Zelda together but most people are not buying a new system, and more than 2 new games. The Rabbids RPG and any other launch materials would get buried. Mario should be a few months out. Gotta remember if splatoon pack in is included at launch that means we are getting a splatoon port too. That's way too many games.

After the Zelda misstep her credibility is on the line. She has got to leak some stuff in order to get it back.

I told you the Zelda delay rumour was whack.

They're from two different sources in two different continents. It's very possible her NOA and NOE sources are both correct and the game is delayed in Europe only.

Zelda as a launch title in the US and Mario in Europe would be a terrible and ridiculous situation. Hopefully not the case.

I don't actually want them to both release Day One though, as I've no idea which I'd boot first.

Yep that would be dumb. Has there been any rumors of the Switch being region free?

Right, it even says so on the official North American Nintendo Switch site:

I still haven't seen anything regarding the venue of the press conference though. Tokyo Big Sight's web site features no info on it. But likely it will be, as I have previously suggested, in the International Conference Room.

Still don't know how they're gonna handle this for non-Japanese speakers.

Unless they're gonna do it in English?

I could see the Treehouse crew dubbing over the Japanese speakers for the NoA stream (likely with dates relevant to North America). Same for Nintendo of Europe.

Yeah, I'm not sure what is great about this. What a mess if true.

Well, that would be consistent with the rules, at least. I wonder why now, though. Do they fault her for changing her stance on the Zelda issue?

From what I understood of the leaks, it's not localization that's making things complicated but QA testing? I wouldn't be surprised if BotW lacks some polish at launch.

I know it was mentioned earlier in the thread but it'd be awesome if we got a surprise announcement at the conference of a full fledged Switch Animal Crossing game....

It could be the big fall title if Mario is indeed at launch...probably won't happen but I'm holding out hope lol.

New Leaf was such an amazing experience and I'm just super exctied to see where the series goes next.

So if Laura makes an article on what she tweeted about Mother 3 coming in Quarter 2 of 2017 then that will be allowed to have a topic? Lol

How does that make sense? It shouldn't matter where the info is coming from. What matters is WHO the info is from.

The International Conference Room offers simultaneous interpretation system for up to eight languages. What these languages are I don't know and I haven't been able to find any greater info on it. There is some info on fees available here (under 同時通訳設備): http://www.bigsight.jp/organizer/price/equipment/

I'll keep looking for more details.

The Switch absolutely needs an Animal Crossing to make up for that board game shit.

She said she would be doing a summary of all her leaks soon, so we can probably make a thread about them then.

Feels like a silly round about way when we can just share the news now, I'm sure there are many people on GAF who want to know about Mother 3 and Zelda now. Rules need to be followed though so I guess we wait for the publication.

Don't forget we have a mobile Animal Crossing title coming down the pipeline first.

At this point I'm thinking that the general fan response to the Switch presentation is going to be people complaining that nothing new was revealed.

Rosti -- do you have any confirmation that this conference and/or playable event is actually happening at Big Sight? I have a friend going to Japan at the same time who can't find confirmation or any info whatsoever on it. Was it cancelled?

Is it a proper AC game though...? I haven't read up on it much honestly....

Hell if they even ported over New Leaf with new content I'd take that at this point lol...

Even if all these leaks are correct, Nintendo is king of keeping the lid on things so there'll be something we didn't know about.

Aeana said the following about these Laura's tweet threads:

Aeana said:
Posting hearsay and "rumors" on Twitter is easy and requires very little accountability. The very fact that the people reporting this have waffled several times should be evidence enough of why we do not want threads created about tweets like this. When someone is confident enough in the authenticity and solidity of their information to attach it to themselves and/or their employer in the case of a journalist in a professional capacity, then we will be happy to have a thread about it. Until then, we would appreciate it if people would stop making new threads every time someone tweets about something they heard or are predicting on a personal Twitter account.

What does the bolded mean? Basically that the leaker needs to be confident enough to put it to writing on a publication (like Laura's LPVG articles) or still something else?
