70 hours! (ish) 
Yeah but look at Mario Maker 3DS. 100 levels of awesome from Nintendo
Would they just drop a teaser for SMTV in the conference? Would be interesting if they did.
Were they any different from the pre-made levels on Wii U?

In the OP.
The OP needs a 56k warning tho lol

For the record, I agree with that statement. I also believe Mario Switch will release no later than June 2017.
But the closer we get to the 12th/13th, the more cynical side of me starts to consider the possibility of Switchmas only covering launch window titles, with E3 2017 being the big reveal for holiday 2017 titles and beyond. In this scenario, the cynical side of me also sees Mario only being mentioned briefly in regards to it being the big E3 title for Switch and launching Holiday 2017.
Such a scenario just seems like such a WiiU-era Nintendo thing to do, and that is what worries me.
I think they would. They just finished a first party project with Atlus and were willing to do cross promotion for SMTIV.
If it's exclusive it's big enough to give a minute or two of air time.
It's possible. Atlus has been a pretty good third party for Nintendo for quite a while now.
Thank you. I'm glad someone else understands.
Nah I could Persona 5 happening but it would/will be the expanded version.
A certain section of GAF would riot if Persona 5 went multiplat
John Hardin also said this: Persona 5 Confirmed for 2015 Release Date in North America
So, he could be wrong again, and a P5 version for Switch could be on the way. Or he could be right this time.
I still have hopes for Persona 5 Switch. It would be great for Japan, being the portable version of the game.
If it gets real, which version should I get? PS4 version or Switch version? This will be a really hard decision.

Hope so. I'm content with getting the PS4 edition but would not say no to a portable option.

3 more days left. Man is this feeling like forever now
The latter.
hardin wasn't wrong. he didn't inform people of the correct information. if you're in august and you're looking to release a game 3-4 months away, and you don't have basic things down like... voice actors, then the game isn't coming out in 3-4 months. atlus is a small company. it's not like word didn't get to him.
it's stuff like that that gives me reason to believe the truth isn't being conveyed here either. i think you can contrast that with yakuza kiwami and yakuza 6, which had trailers at psx, while persona 5 had nothing, even though it had a big presence on the show floor. in addition, a delay of less that two months might be necessary for programming, maybe on the european side, for instance... if there were lots of bugs found or something. but the timing is pretty good if you wanted to ride a launch wave in conjunction with japan doing the same thing.
this is more of a 'what if' scenario - but i think that it makes persona 5 certainly possible.

Yep of all the possible games to get a Switch version, this was always at the next to top section with only even more obvious stuff like Shovel Knight or Yooka-Laylee at the top due to literally everything else Atlus being on Nintendo, the close partnership, and Atlus would want more sales from people who only play on portables.
If it doesn't happen I would be shocked. (And sad since I'd have to play so many hours in pain since playing on tv hurts. But I will get it on PS4 if it somehow doesn't come to Switch. Its one of the few games that I will suffer for.)
I'd be Switch all the way. I can't imagine this game being too demanding on the hardware, this game is style to the max. Why wouldn't I want the option to play on a handheld and on the TV? All I need is a hint of a Switch release and I'll wait for that version to drop.

Well Capcom could maybe get by console exclusivity by insisting Switch is a tablet.
Yeah betting P5 comes at some point if Switch does anything as a portable, particularly in Japan. Nintendo has a proven audience for Atlus. Persona has proven portable appeal. There is, presumably, no Vita successor. Switch is more than strong enough to handle a P5 port.
I doubt it'll be base version or near P5 western launch.
I'll get it whenever/if it comes. Even if, as I'm assuming, I already have it elsewhere. I'd prefer to play it on Nintendo in the future.

I mean, it has a PS3 version, so it would obviously be more than possible to port it to the Switch.

Years ago there was a brief Amazon entry for Kid Icarus Wii U. It was probably a mistake, or it could of been a port of the 3DS version. Or got cancelled quickly before being announced. Whatever.
Now.. I want that game or a sequel on Switch. It was so awesome.

I won't expect it to happen, but if it does, I'd get the Switch version rather than the PS3 version (I don't have a PS4). Playing RPGs on a portable is the best way to go for me. And having it on a cart means faster boot up and loading times, which is a great bonus.

I'd like to think I have no "gimme" lines here. Also I made one of these up from nothing:
Haha, this one is amazing. Truly the Switch line up they get in Hell. Besides Startropics.

Agreed. I'm not playing a Persona game in front of the TV for this many hours.
I think at this point, if it were to happen, Hardin would have known. We're only two months from release. That's cutting it close.
I will say I would find it weird if it didn't happen. Atlus games generally do well on 3DS. Persona Q was on it too and it sounded like it was a success. I think P5 would do well on Switch. I could at least see it getting the enhanced version in a few years.
well my point is with hardin that whether or not he knows doesn't matter - he would have to have known that persona 5 wasn't coming out in 2015 and said it was anyway.
i slot it into the maybe category. there's enough there that i think it could happen. the timing is weird in that it supports both ideas that it can and cannot launch on that day.
I'm pretty excited for whatever Atlus does with Nintendo so having a SMTV teaser would send me into hype mode.

Ho. Didn't heard of that rumor. Hype!
gamestop's pos updates at midnight, i think? this allows for the potential of some games to get leaked ahead of announcements. amazon is all robots though, so you can time it to a specific hour and the listing will go up with your announcement.
that said, it would have basically been a fuckup on gamestop's side if the game was shown this far in advance if the distributor was adamant about the reveal timing.

Watch it live, this is the hypest thing in the last several thousand years of civilization.
