Specifically a kind of game that is something that Nintendo "doesn't have"
Minigame collection is something they definitely "have"

If Zelda is a launch title, count me in for a day 1 purchase of the Switch.
Cannot wait for next Thursday's event!

That's his whole schtick if you haven't noticed already.
First thing that pops into my mind is a FPS. But will they try a cartoony style yet again? The market seems to be flooded with those esthetics.

I have the solution that can make everyone happy.
TRAILER BEGINS
We see a cavern, dark, cracked, craggy. A hole in the ground emits a soft orange-red glow.
Footsteps.
We see shiny metal-armored feet. Then a quick cut to black.
"ZEBES" types out on screen.
We cut back, this time to Samus' face. She's peering down the hole. We hear a shrieking roar in the distance, deep down below.
"Ridley," Samus mutters.
Her AI, with a British male voice, speaks to her in her helmet: "Samus, that drop is over 500 feet."
The roar gets louder. It can't just be Ridley.
The AI continues. "There are hundreds down there, thousands."
"I know," Samus says stoically.
"It's not possible."
"No," Samus shakes her head. "It's necessary."
Samus jumps, morphs into a morph ball, and flies down the hole.
We cut to the cavern floor, where the morph ball hits the ground. A plume of lava spirals up in the distance.
We hear footsteps rapidly approaching.
Suddenly, a cleat kicks the ball. Shredding guitars kick in.
We see a Toad leap up to gain control of the ball, but Luigi slide tackles him and stares him down as the Toad falls to the floor.
Luigi laughs and kicks the ball forward, where a Koopa Troopa is waiting. He does a one-shot pass over to Dry Bones, who kicks it at the seemingly open goal...
Boom. A claw grabs the morph ball from the air, just before it passes in the net. We zoom back. It's Ridley, who lets out a mighty roar before throwing the ball back in play, back at the camera.
The morph ball shatters the screen.

Was that a interstellar reference?
Again, I said I'd love to be wrong but eh. We'll see. I just find it difficult to see Nintendo releasing so many of their IPs at launch. If we're talking launch games here at all that is. Maybe that crazy IP isn't even coming out at launch. Don't know.
Didn't she say something like "it's new, think like 'Splatoon new'" as in something that Nintendo hasn't done before? That's how I interpreted it at least.
Yeah you're right. I don't trust "our duo" that much though tbh.
What if the thing Nintendo "doesn't have" isn't a genre but some of the minigames that are in that collevtion? I don't know, weird Joy-Con uses.
lol, did you miss the part when I told you how nonsensical those rumours were and just a few days later the leakers corrected themselves? Forgot that one, didn't we.
Even if that's the case, I doubt it's something Rogers would hype up as being unique to the company, given that would still describe something like Nintendo Land.
Not me anyway. And nothing is set in stone yet. Your guts are safe for now.
When I have to decide between the two of them and your ass, pardon guts, I admittingly won't care about the latter.
Understandable. And BTW, I don't mind or care. I'm not a leaker. I'm not asking you to follow me on twitter. I felt the rumours were off and gave actual reasons why I felt they were off and they ended up being off, that's it.

whats the uk time of the show btw guys?
4AM.
I think 4am.
Which is shit, but at least you can get some decent sleep beforehand and set an alarm for 3:30. I could never do that with Sony's 2am conferences.

Yeah the plan is to sleep before and after. Good thing I have a lat start at Uni that day!
Unless you plan to stay up and post about it on forums and social media, why is it so important to watch the conference live? It's quite easy to save the link and go to it immediately when you wake up if you want to avoid spoilers. I've done it a few times for Directs.

In order of importance:
Price
Virtual Console
Battery
OS
Online
Not that online doesn't matter, but I've lived with mediocre Online from Nintendo forever so I'm not getting my hopes up or expect anything to blow my socks off.

I get to watch it in a very comfortable 8PM.
Enough time to watch, see Gaf have meltdowns, Nintendo doom talk and have a good night sleep for School the next day.

Good luck to the yanks. I'm pre-ordering mine as soon as I get back to my Uni town on the 9th which should hopefully get me one on launch day.
I'll live with mediocre online as long as I don't have to pay for it.
The subscription on PSN and Xbox Live are killers for me. Shit, it's not like Valve charges me to use Steam.

Yeah, I mean why the heck is this thing on a Thursday??
At least if it was a 4am Sat morning thing I could have a lay in.

Ok, I've read what everyone says about metroid. I believe they will be a Souls game if we get a new Metroid. I think it is more likely we get Metroid Prime HD full remake with a multiplayer mode added on.
But if Nintendo really REALLY wanted to blow people's mind, Metroid should come back as a Gritty, Dark, Teen rated game. Push the teen rating as far as it can go and make it look like this...

Make Samus a bounty hunter again. No a female master chief.
This would sell systems no doubt!!! Let someone else make a 2d Metroid to appease everyone.
Your welcome Nintendo!

For me it is VC, Price, Online, OS. I really want to have one virtual console machine for everything and not have the slow trickle that the Wii-U was.
I really really hope so. I took off of work next Friday for that reason

I'm so ready for this brutal 4am.
My most anticipated part of GAF on Switchmas are the inevitable slew of posts going "that's it?" and "Nintendo showed nothing!" because of all the leaks somehow vanishing games from existence.

One game that I thought that would get a port to Nintendo Switch was Zelda : Musou Hyrule All-stars. And if Pokemon Stars exists I hope that this should be like Pokemon Stadium for N64.

I just want Metroid to be...Metroid. On one hand Nintendo is no longer alone in the Metroidvania design realm and a lot of other developers have produced incredible work (particularly in the indie scene), but I still love the atmosphere and play of Metroid. Less Other M, more Super/Prime. It's a genre gap in style and play that is missing on their hardware.
I'm still surprised the 3DS never saw a Metroid. Not even a remake of Super or Return of Samus.

I don't get what you mean by that. It's gonna be the third version of Sun/Moon.

I don't get putting Metriod in the same category as Metriodvania.
Metroid is just Metriod. No castelvaina stuff in it. At least that what I feel I when I play the 2D games.
Edit: anybody got any good recommendations for Metroid/Metroidvania games?

I gave Mario Strikers Charged a whirl for the first time in years tonight. The hype is real. Do it Nintendo.
Price
Account system
Online
Os
Battery
The price is going to make or break this thing. I won't buy any VC stuff unless I know I won't have to rebuy them in the future so having an account similar to iOS devices is important to me. The last 3 aren't as important, as long as they're at least why Nintendo offered in the past I'll be fine (free online, minimal os, average to good battery life)

I mean it simply as a general form of open game design composed of segmented areas in which the player is tasked with discovering how to progress. Metroid is indeed just Metroid, I agree.
I can't fucking stand when Nintendo use the lame old "we're waiting for fresh ideas" excuse in regards to bringing new Metroid, F-Zero, etc to the market. It's hypocrisy at it's finest. Deny your market franchise diversity, your own franchises, yet bloat them with excessively similar games from other franchises. The Switch needs to remedy this.
