I will never understand the people who keep on quoting a picture that it's obviously fake. You can say it's fake and delete the picture out of the quote. Don't spread the shit further.

I had a dream that basically everything leaked and it was awesome. I don't remember a lot but definitely remember a new Kid Icarus.

I am impressed that everything hasn't leaked.

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

Spoilers for what? I don't think Nintendo is going to spoil their own games.

I'm honestly not sure what you're asking.

I mean a thread i nadvance to watch the show when I wake up its on at 4am for me which is way to early I would watch over breakfeast but dont want to wake up early though

Coincidentally, I had a dream that a friend of mine from college messaged me and said the Switch was going to be awful and have even less games than the Wii U did.

Got the youtube stream bookmarked and I took the later half of Thursday off (I work afternoon shift) so I wouldn't miss half of it. Plenty of time to setup my array of snacks.

58 Hours until Nintenjudgment Day

Coincidentally, I had a dream that a friend of mine from college messaged me and said the Switch was going to be awful and have even less games than the Wii U did.

Thankfully, for every game that's confirmed and is heavily rumored it already blows the Wii U out of the water in terms of launch lineup.

NeoGAF having sitewide meltdowns is a tradition dammit.

Yes I know, but it's not nice not being able to get on, it's hard enough when you are typing a message and you click [reply] and the page has moved on five or six it is exciting I agree but I don't want to be up at 4am and struggle to get on.

It starts at 4AM in the UK. No way I'm waking up that early to watch it.

I'll go to work and then watch the Direct after I get home.

I know what you mean, I am going to try to get up.

I don't think it went down during E3. We might be past that.

I hope so, I don't mean to be bad or anything, but due to the size of GAF it no-doubt gets a lot of hits during times like this, I don't want to stop anyone from viewing, but I as a member also want to be able to get on to chat and discuss what could well be a momentous occasion with like minded people.

Thought it was real until Half Life 3

There's no 30th in Feb!

 

[RareFantasy64]

Due to current circumstances (console sales declining in Japan, Wii U failing to catch on, console/handheld hybrid approach, etc), is this the most important Nintendo system as far as needing success since the NES?

 

[Scrawnton]

Thought it was real until Half Life 3

Half-Life 3 was the Wii U. It was a performance art piece.

I thought it was real until "Brand Spanking New"

Is anyone expecting much software wise? To be honest I am lowering my expectations. It seems most of the launch software has already been leaked or shown, and I am not sure if Nintendo is going show much beyond the launch, maybe a couple of holiday titles.

- Zelda:BOTW switch version has been shown, although off screen. I am looking forward to the new trailer though

- Super Mario Switch: already been briefly shown, very excited for the full reveal

- NBA game. Don't really care about that

- Skyrim: good game to have on the console

- Splatoon 1.5

- Mario Kart 8.5

- Pokémon Stars

- Rumoured Xenoblade Chronicles X switch version (???)

It's been a long time since a major Nintendo event. I had forgotten how obnoxious the internet gets in the lead-up to one of them.

I feel like they need to show Mario and one more Switch game that has zero ties to Wii U. Launch softwares is okay with Zelda and Wii U ports, but we need to know the real Switch software is coming.

That's interesting.
I mean, I assume all the games at the hands-on event are going to be presented to some extent at the live conference so I don't know why they'd prevent people from recording gameplay.
Unless those "select" games actually run like shit and they don't want any evidence of it until they can fix it.

First time I hear this "no, you can't record footage of this game" argument so not sure what'd the deal.

My reasonable wildcard that I'm hoping for is a proper Animal Crossing.

Does it really matter when treehouse is streaming the following day going hands on with these games?

To be honest, if launch mostly consists of just souped up Wii U games and a new MARIO game, then I have to question what the heck has Nintendo been doing for the last 2 years...

This happens all the time. It's why you couldn't find any direct feed footage of Horizon: Zero Dawn from journalists last E3. The press is prohibited from recording their hands-on gameplay frequently.

I'm really interested to see what the Switch minigame collection will look like. That will indicate what kind of gameplay Nintendo envisions for the platform.

 

[PadWarrior]

So hopefully enhanced ports aren't full price. Maybe 40 or 50? And new games 60?

DO NOT expect any secret game at launch that is not Zelda and other Wii U ports. That's what we're getting and it's insane to expect any surprise announcements for launch.

 

[Smellycat]

I completely forgot about Beyond Good and Evil 2! I fully expect that to be at the event

 

[Okami Haundo]

We've gotten bitten by the amiibo bug but I just don't find the announced BOTW amiibo figures that charming. So we'll probably skip those.

If Zelda or Mario are coming out, definitely either or both, though I think you may be setting yourself up for disappointment if you expect both on day one. ��

But similarly I'll set myself up for disappointment by hoping for Yooka Laylee at the Switch launch. ��

A man can dream! Honestly, I'd be A-ok with having Zelda at launch instead of Mario. In that case I'd have to go with Zelda + Splatoon unless they've got something else up their sleeves. Mario Kart 8 at launch would feel amazing to me. That's the perfect game to play during breaks from BoTW.

So hopefully enhanced ports aren't full price. Maybe 40 or 50? And new games 60?

There's plenty of precedent for charging full price here. Many remastered games add little to nothing new, so I don't see Nintendo going lower than $60... However, I would love to see them offer a discount to current Wii-U owners who bought games like Splatoon already.

 

[RM8]

I'm being very pessimistic and assuming I'm only in for Mario and Mario Kart. MK8 on the go is my system seller, so any extra surprises are welcome I'd love having a fighting game besides SSB...

 

[Art Vandilay]

We're not getting Zelda at launch....

I'm worried this new Mario game is going to be some sort of 3D runner not unlike the iOS game.

Edit: By Zelda I mean BoTW

Put that info out there once verified because learning Rabbids, my big Switch Leak, may actually miss launch, is a thing to update folk on

Basically, if Rabbids had been pushed to Sept and I had said nothing, would have been a big "Laura was wrong" mark.

https://twitter.com/LaurakBuzz/status/816289357405552640

Doesn't sound to me like something up in the air.

I'm not saying this to be difficult at all, but "may get pushed" and "may actually miss launch" sounds kinda murky to me.

When is the tweet from?

The January 3rd deep dive report notes:

Mario Rabbids RPG was Sources A and B. I have no reason to doubt it’s hitting launch day.

Rabbids Kingdom Battle is the title of that Rabbids Mario Rabbids RPG. I have one source telling me it may get pushed to September.

— Laura Kate Dale (@LaurakBuzz) January 3, 2017

I was reached out to by a verifiable Ubisoft source regarding this info. The source was able to show verifiable evidence of the information in these tweets. They are the most up to date information I have on these projects and I believe this is currently the most accurate information available on these projects.

http://letsplayvideogames.com/2017/01/a-deep-dive-on-lpvgs-nintendo-switch-reports-and-info/

I'm guessing she just forgot to edit the first part I quoted once she added the last part at the end of the article, since the two contradict. That's also the part that talks about the Rayman Legends Switch Port and the BGE2 latest details. Even still, none of these statements read as definitive to me. I'm guessing given the duplication of text that your tweets are from the same time as those she quoted in the article. I missed that additional context that your quote gives when I read her article because it omits those, but I still don't see that it's definitely missing launch. I mean, I have no idea when the game is coming out or if it exists (I believe it is, and I believe if her latest info says it could be September, sure, then it could be September), my only point was that I don't see any definitive statements made. (Just want to reiterate though that I'm just a very literal minded dude and not at all meaning to be pedantic about this, apologies if it comes off as such at all.)

It's not insane to expect more than a handful of Wii U ports at the launch of a new system. If that's all Nintendo has ready for day one, there's a problem.

Hmm.. I see.
Hopefully there are not too many games with this restriction.

Nah. Even with little footage we have, there's no evidence of that. Too many directions to go here.

I thought it was already confirmed to not be a launch title?

There is no way that the 3D MARIO is a runner

 

[Zedark]

Dammit, you beat me to it!

I thought it was already confirmed to not be a launch title?

That's old news, right now every leaker around has said Zelda BOTW will be there at launch. They have conflicting reports from Europe, and Eurogamer reported that Nintendo might be considering launching Zelda later in PAL, though that seems like a ridiculous idea to me.

I'll be real bummed if there is no Mario Maker at least mentioned for the Switch.
