I'm going to assume that it's true as well. I already took some PTO time so I can come in late that morning. I just hope my store gets enough pre-orders allocated. I'll be mega bummed if I can't get one at launch.

I just hope he/she is not serious about that because I find it as a funny joke lol.
There's something new about Metroid?

He did it on purpose to throw us a bone.
Not sure who would be developing a new Metroid game. It could be anyone.
This post reads like it's straight from a wii bashing thread from 2006.
But the Switch launch is exactly like the Wii U launch because Nintendo literally learned nothing from the failure of the Wii U and initial success of the Wii because they are just automatons with no vision.
And posters, such as yourself with a very large axe to grind, continue to paint a false narrative of reality. Are you talking about the gamers that hold up two consoles that have two netbook processor ducked taped together as a powerhouse that have gpu that couldn't hold a candle to a GTX 750TI...Whatever.
There were no specs. Just clock speeds.
Lol pretty much. AzaK is in this abusive relationship with Nintendo where he cant stay away from buying their machines and participate in threads like this, but still all he gets from them is pain - and its been like this at least since the Wii U-spec threads.
What did the tweet say?
Wondering if they would announce it during the conference or save it for E3.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I hope the launch includes something as interesting and appealing to me as ZOMBIU. Gem and still one of my favourite games on the system.

There are people on this board who are convinced that Superstars will also release on Switch because it looks "too good" for the end-of-life 3DS. In reality, most of it is reusing Camelot's work on Mario Tennis Open and Mario Golf World Tour, which already looked great. It looks great because the foundation is great.

I'm trying to figure out why Nintendo's approach is "throwing beloved franchises to the sharks" when tailoring genres to children and less hardcore players is literally *the* MO behind all of their beloved franchises bar like Metroid and Kid Icarus.
That's a sweet looking case bag. Very vintage looking.

Out of all the posts in this thread, this one contains the most truth.

I'd say there's definitely some consistency in the themes that tend to develop within a good number Nintendo-related threads.
But it was actually the widepread and intense hate for Miyamoto personally (here and here) that was even a little surprising for me... but, now I know.

The way the handled the release of Legends made me not want any new HW for awhile. Sequel featuring the gameplay improvements from the new DW reboot (open world) or skip it.

My favorite launch game for Nintendo was Luigis Mansion.
Such a unique, charming little title. Doesn't come close to being better then other launch games, but It was a nice fresh breath of air.
Edit: Xenobalde port? Was that a leak?

Crazy thing is, except for xenoblade I want them all. And I've a Wii U.
Enhanced Wii U ports are probably going to be a thing with the Switch. Be ready more of those in the future. Personally, I don't mind since I've never owned a Wii U.
I think all the games in there will be ported.
Killer Queen has already touched the Switch

I expect a Kirby port/collection/new entry this year considering it's 25th anniversary.

It's worth noting that Nintendo don't typically release a flagship Mario AND a flagship LOZ title on the same platform, in the same seasonal window - they would likely cannibalise each other, and it would be the equivalent of them "blowing their most popular first party load too early in the Switch's lifecycle". SM3DWorld and LOZ: A Link Between Worlds released in the same week in 2013, on Wii U and 3DS respectively, but they don't release on the same system in the same seeasonal window. LOZ: Wind Waker HD can be discounted there, because it was a re-release, rather than a new flagship entry. With that in mind, I wouldn't be surprised if Mario Kart 8: Deluxe Edition was the main Summertime release or closer to the launch date, and 3D Mario was shown at E3, with a view to a Holiday release. Apart from that, I doubt that they'll want to show lots of enhanced ports and remasters at E3 2017. BTW, Yooka-Laylee is listed for April, but it isn't clear whether it will release at the same time on the Switch.
Wait, where did you hear about Pokken?
I think Zelda, Mario, Splatoon and Mario Kart will all be out by E3. Smash will be a late Summer/early Fall type of game. Then Pikmin. And then Pokémon (which I don't think they will announce until May at the earliest.)
A new Kirby game for the 25th would be interesting, but the main team just released Planet Robobot last year so I wonder what they'll do.

I could see Mario being out the week after E3.
Unless it's a sequel, a Hyrule Warriors port will not do much for the Switch. It already sold like a million, and that's a rarity for a Musou game, and some more with the Legends on the 3DS so those who have played it might want something new.
Something like another Kirby Anniversary Collection is something I think wouldn't be too unusual for HAL to do.

Here's hoping there is a BIG surprise. Something nobody has ever predicted even with all of the leaks.
I'm happy enough that there's a brand new IP in the works. The question will be if it's going to be another Pushmo or BoxBoy with no "big push", or something like Splatoon which is treated like a big release with lots of backing and support ad-wise.

I'm curious to see when the new IP is gonna drop if it's coming this year.

A mainline pokemon in NS 1st year always sounds weird to me. How much did GBA/NDS sold when their first mainline pokemon announced/launched? I feel we're going to see another BW2 situation again.
