God damn so the show is at 1am on Friday 13th GMT (UK time) am i right?

any ideas how long it will last? i may have to stay up

4 in the morning, finishes at 5.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

I like Overwatch but don't think Switch is a suitable platform for this kind of game.

 

[JoeNut]

That sounds wrong. I think it's at 4AM.
It's live, which takes more time to transition between segments, so i would guess that the duration is around an hour.

Hmm i've ust double checked and ET is -5 GMT apparently. 1am is better than 4am to be fair

Why not?

 

[oti]

So what are the chances of a party or achievement system? I'm really hoping Nintendo goes all out for the Switch

Make them interesting or don't bother. Achievements in their current form are a waste of time.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

I mean Overwatch is entirely online. You can't always guarantee a good wifi connection.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Why not?

Because this:

Better triple check that.

 

[ugoo18]

I'll mix. Games like Zelda, MH, Splatoon or Overwatch (if it happens) I'll buy digital. A game like Skyrim I'll buy retail, so I can sell it again someday.

I've never sold a game, traded in if i didn't like it yes but once i enjoy it that game has a home for life lol.

4 in the morning, finishes at 5.

Is 1h duration confirmed?

 

[kuroneko0509]

Because this:

the same reason doesn't stop 3ds from getting dragon quest x....

Is 1h duration confirmed?

no

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Is 1h duration confirmed?

Yes, an hour and or 55 minutes ish.

I mean yes thats online only. But it severely limits the playability of that game, in my eyes. I play portable games out of my house a lot.

 

[Sesuadra]

I mean Overwatch is entirely online. You can't always guarantee a good wifi connection.

DQX is also entirely online, still it will be released in japan on the switch.

I don't understand that line of thinking. people know what an online only game is. they'll then only play them at home or in a hotel or something like that.

 

[Meesh]

Nice!!! Sounds like there'll be a lot of info packed into that hour, or at least I hope. So freaking hype for this!!!!

 

[TwistedFreeze]

Because Overwatch is entirely online. You can't always guarantee a good wifi connection.

So is Dragon Quest X and that's a Switch title. I believe it's on the 3DS as well. Splatoon is also a mostly online game as well

 

[KingSnake]

Yes, an hour and or 55 minutes ish.

What's the source for this? Hopefully not NicoNico.

Can't recall the original link.

Better triple check that.

maybe that's the japanese time or something, i'm stupid.

I'll stick with 4am then haha. in which case FML that's an early morning

Can't recall the original link.

it's from nicovideo...

we do have a bit of information from Japanese streaming site Niconico (via NintendoLife) that should make things a bit easier.

 

[El Topo]

Why are people bringing up Overwatch? Was there a rumor/leak?

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

I think thats just what people want.

It's not an hour.

NicoNico doesn't know how long the presentation is.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

It's not an hour.

I hope it's an hour and a half to two hours.

Any more and it could turn into Sony's PS4 Pro conference.

 

[Dmax3901]

My predictions:

From Software's Beserk: The game is real and is a Switch exclusive. Far more cinematic that either Dark Souls or Bloodborne.

Breath of the Wild: The Switch version runs at 1080p and 60 FPS. Handheld version has sections that can be played in Link to the Past era graphics ala DQ 11 on 3DS.

Metroid Switch (the actual name not a placeholder): Uses the Switch Handheld in all the ways we imagined a Wii U Metroid would. Touchscreen morph ball puzzles, scanning etc.

Mario Globalisation: Mario visits various business hub cities around the world tripping balls on Mushrooms, phenomenal platforming ensues.

Mario Kart Switch: Uses 8 as a foundation but has 6 new cups, 12 new racers and adds planes as well like Diddy Kong Racing. It's actually Diddy Kong Racing.

Oh yeah I forgot one:

Mystical Ninja 3: Goemon Makes the Switch: The sequel you've always dreamed of, plays just like you'd expect but with prettier graphics and 200% more puuuulassiimaaaaaaaa.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I hope it's an hour and a half to two hours.

Any more and it could turn into Sony's PS4 Pro conference.

Yeah I'm hoping it's atleast an hour and 20 minutes.

I want a big info dump. Show me everything about the Switch and don't hide things.

 

[Fatmanp]

I would like to see a Bayonetta 3 announcement along with the first two being re-released.

 

[lunch_box]

I've won a pair of tickets to the hands on event in London this weekend

 

[Matbtz]

Yeah I'm hoping it's atleast an hour and 20 minutes.

Yep 1h15-1h30 would be perfect IMO. Want some teasers even for some 2018 games, a few seconds will be enough

 

[oti]

Nintendo would never ever put a Cerny on stage to talk to you about hardware.

 

[marmoka]

Bayonetta Trilogy?

Do want!!

 

[Dark Cloud]

Yeah, it looks like BG&E2 will probably be one 2018 game teased. I believe Retros games releases this year so I'm hoping Monoliths game is teased.


-BG&E2
-Monolith Softs game
-Retro? Could be 2018 game, but I doubt it
-Next Level Games? Luigis Mansion 3?
-Platinum game
-big third party exclusive

 

[Meesh]

If there was a Bayo 3, Monster Hunter announcement I'd die! Best presentation ever!!!

 

[Fatmanp]

Bayonetta Trilogy?

Do want!!

I never got to play the first two but just looking at some of the videos i know it is my type of game.

 

[Planet]

You mean the one that went on for 43 minutes? The one that had too few explosions so some people got bored?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Most thought it was pretty dreadful, even big fans.

If the Nintendo one is that dull, they are in deep doodoo.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I wonder who will be doing the English talk over the Japanese? lol I hope that person doesn't come off very monotone.

I already have a feeling the presentation will lean more to the low key side. The info is what matters to me. I don't care if the presentation is dry.

Exactly, I just want to see games.

A Direct would be more fun but the fact that we don't know how it will go is kind of exciting.

 

[Planet]

Like I said, too few explosions, too much tech talk. Sony tried to explain what they could not possibly show via low bitrate streams. I think they just about half succeeded.

Well, fear not, Nintendo doesn't do tech talk, because that surely is not what they want you to focus on.

 

[AGoodODST]

I mean Overwatch is entirely online. You can't always guarantee a good wifi connection.

I don't really think that is a fair complaint. I think it's a safe bet that most console players play over wifi.

I mean sure you couldn't play it while out and about but it would function the same as other platforms at home.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Like I said, too few explosions, too much tech talk.

Well, fear not, Nintendo doesn't do tech talk, because that surely is not what they want you to focus on.

Games talk to me, not specs.

You seem interested in them so more power to you.

 

[El Topo]

Like I said, too few explosions, too much tech talk.

No. Too much convoluted stuff, narrated in a weird way. When you basically go "This is what HDR would look like if we could show it to you", you kind of lose your audience. Talking about specs is fine, no need to drag that out for 40 minutes.

 

[FloweryMarston]

SOON

 

[Its Quite Toasty]

I mean Overwatch is entirely online. You can't always guarantee a good wifi connection.

And so you would get booted or not be able to join a server. I really find it difficult seeing what makes this so hard to do. I think even children grasp the concept of staying in the wifi zone.

Great, my schedule this week has been:

I'm gonna sleeeeeep this weekend.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

SOON

Think the game will be THAT or you think it's kind of a placeholder???

I dig the Mexican whatever village vibe but the other part seems a bit ordinary.

 

[Dark Cloud]

SOON

Omg my heart ❤️. I can't wait to see 3D Mario c

I hope I don't end up 😭 lol

 

[Shahadan]

SOON

Nice Wii U game!

 

[Aostia]

I think the opposite XD
The mexican part seems so large and boring in terms of platforming challenge

 

[mingo]

I hope there is no talk of what's inside the switch and let the games do the talking. Who cares what's inside it if the games look and play great!

 

[Matbtz]

I think there is far too much details on such short presentation of the game for it not to be true (check gamexplain's analysis).
I'm almost as hyped as for BotW for this, if this turns out to be the real successor of 64/Sunshine.
