So this is it?

Who's preordering?

I'm convinced

I'm not convinced

Anyone else think the Wii U presentation was better?

Am I the only one who thinks Nintendo dropped the ball?

I just sold off all my other consoles for Switch

You forgot, yo my fake gf just preordered me a switch but I had to sell my Ps4 pro before she came over, who else sold their Ps4?

"Who's trading in [insert console] for a Switch?"

You're forgetting "So, who's sticking the Switch up their butt?"

 

[DecoReturns]

I think the biggest talk point will be The Price.


Whether it's good or bad pricing.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I bet we get "I'm canceling my Switch preorder" threads within the next 60 days.

An example of an OP a week after launch:

"Now that the honeymoon period is over, who's regretting their Switch purchase?"

No.

Is this the same Matt that people discussed the multiplatform port issue over the summer?

I don't know, but NeoGaf Matt said @ end of november 2016, that Switch could run the likes of Assassins Creed Unity.

hard to say for sure without actual specs, but based on assumptions and limitations of the hardware due to form factor, look at anything where demands on the hardware are large because of things outside of graphical effects. Shadows of Mordor and its Nemesis system, Assassin's Creed Unity and its civilian density I very much doubt could run on switch hardware.

Of course they both could. Maybe not as dense for Unity, I don't know, but it certainly wouldn't be a night and day difference.

What is your stance to this at the moment?

[FloweryMarston]

I absolutely hate these opinion threads. Not just for nintendo, but for every company, it's always a thread being made way too soon, like the honeymoon one for example, or something completely stupid that could be discussed in any other thread about a system.

Hadn't thought about Miiverse. I'm split. I want them to keep it, but with no stylus and if everything has to work in console mode, maybe they will do away with it. It would be a shame, because a message board integrated into the OS was a brilliant idea.

All very plausible, but where's Beyond Good & Evil 2?

Spoiler

Is what I say after every damn Ubi conference.

Rabbids RPG too.

Hell, just have a square that's just Laura Kate Dale's smug face.

Goes to show that power doesn't mean shit as a whole.

The vita even though was stronger than the 3DS had shitty memory cards, lacked appealing games, and pretty much Sony didn't give a fuck about the system.

I loved the Vita but damn were those memory cards its Achilles heel.

i know that this article is nearly six years old, but the guy forgot the ds's initial struggles. it received a $20 price drop within a year too, but claims it came after the ds lite launched, which was over 18 months after the launch of the platform.

 

[TLZ]

Not sure if any of you consider Stealth as reputable, but he's hearing that Pokémon Stars is real, but it won't be announced during the Switch Presentation.

I guess we'll find out if he's on the money in due time.

Well him and that Lami person from twitter both confirmed Zelda Botw for release when LKD was flip flopping still. We'll see how credible these 2 are in 5 days.

I would really like to get a glimpse of HD Pokemon.

I hope they go all out with the environments.

Posting my predictions:

First Party

• Breath of the Wild is indeed a launch title, in NA. EU is delayed 1-2 weeks. Please understand.
• Mario Switch is very similar to 3D World; Wario appears as a character this time.
• Splatoon is not quite a sequel, but is a massively updated port. Octolings are finally playable.
• Smash is shown; at least one newcomer will be revealed.
• Mario Kart is MK8 with 4 additional cups, more characters, and classic Battle Mode. Called Mario Kart Infinite and will be updated for the Switch's lifespan.
• A bizarre new IP, even stranger than Splatoon is revealed.
• Pikmin 4 is revealed.
• Pokemon Stars is not mentioned.
• A brief sizzle reel teases games to be elaborated on during the Treehouse stream.
• MOTHER 3
• Rabbids Kingdom Battle is revealed to little applause.
• New Mario Strikers revealed; gritty Rosalina quickly proves a fan favorite.

Third Party

• Skyrim Remastered is confirmed, obviously. Launch day.
• Sonic Mania is confirmed; Project 2017 gets a new teaser.
• Monster Hunter is shown in some capacity.
• Marvel VS Capcom Infinite shown off; one new Marvel and one new Capcom fighter revealed.
• Tecmo shows off a new Nintendo-themed Warriors game. Fire Emblem?
• Tekken 7.
• Dark Souls Trilogy confirmed.
• Dragon Quest incoming.
• Indie sizzle reel that contains conspicuous UNDERTALE footage, with no comment on Nintendo's part.

 

[TLZ]

What do you think Mario Switch will be called?

Super Mario Galaxy 3
Super Mario Universe
Super Mario Switch
Super Mario Sunshine 2
Super Mario [Something Random]

I'd go Universe as a safe bet.

That or either something totally new, Trek? Adventures?

 

[ShadowFox08]

My Bingo card!

The first and third row are practically guaranteed, though free online for Switch is up in the air imo.. Not sure if Nintendo will keep giving us that.

Not really the first row due to the 3D Mario at launch part.

 

[AdanVC]

Super Mario Breath of the Star.

 

[Its Quite Toasty]

At this point are prediction videos and posts on the switch event just retellings of leaks?

 

[BY2K]

I tried to put some riské ones, but with everything that leaked...

I just realized I didn't even put Xenoblade, Monolith and Beyond Good and Evil 2 in there.

I think the Mario at Launch and no Miiverse ones are riské?

 

[Gaspard]

Yep, nothing substantial about the Switch had been leaked in a while. And I don't trust the OBE1 person.

I see a really easy bingo...

 

[HeySeuss]

I'd be completely OK with MK8 getting a remaster and updated content throughout the Switch's life cycle.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

What do you think Mario Switch will be called?

Super Mario Galaxy 3

Super Mario Switch
Super Mario Sunshine 2

New Super Mario Bros. S

 

[boiled goose]

Alright... any reasons?

The commonality between Trump and brexit is a surge in white nationalism and anti immigrant scapegoatism fueled in part by dissatisfaction of a disappearing middle class resulting from neoliberalism and crony capitalism. Some people in comfortable wealthy or liberal bubbles didn't see it coming or where too dissatisfied with politics to care enough to fight against it.

Switch disruption the potentially stagnating AAA industry has nothing to do with the above.

A thread regarding the current state of AAA gaming and what could disrupt said industry would be interesting.

Comparing it to politics would be a distraction from any interesting discussion. It's a terrible thread idea.

 

[Generalpsyduck]

When is the upcoming switch presentation?

 

[Shikamaru Ninja]

Everyone's so laser focused on the twitter circle, that they are missing what should be obvious. A new project from the Wii Sports / Nintendo Land team.

This is what makes me excited. I would absolutely love a new Nintendo Land, but I know we won't get one, so I'll take a new IP from them.

 

[Kjellson]

When is the upcoming switch presentation?

In five days and one hour.

Mario Switch will be called "Super Mario World Tour" because...yeah, it feels right.

I HOPE Sonic Mania's going to be on Switch. It'd be terrible if it wasn't.

Super Mario Switch. Its simple, catchy and rolls off the tongue nicely.

 

[Atheerios]

People should stop expecting Nintendo to reveal specs at the presentation. They never do that. The only thing that I could see them mentioning is the RAM.
