I'd be EXTREMELY disappointed if we don't get a Wave Race or Excite Truck sequel revealed. They have to show they are back to regain people who loved this Nintendo that produced top tier arcade racers. That's why I loved them in the first place.

3DS version is a piece of shit and don't have a WiiU, once Switch was coming I just put my money on waiting for a port. No way it doesn't get a port. I just want it within the first year at least.
The game just released on 3DS. There is such a thing as beating a dead horse, though I'm not sure that really applies here.
I don't think they should do a straight port for Mario Maker. They should give it a year and give us a product that brings drastic changes.
I'm not saying it's insane to expect them to announce brand new games for Switch on Thursday. I fully expect surprises. Im saying it's crazy to think any of those surprises will launch with the system when Zelda and Wii U ports will already be there.
Looks comfy. We'll hear impressions on Friday though.

The game was half released on 3DS. I was waiting for it like crazy and then when it came out it ended up getting rid of basically half the game. All it's basically good for is some Nintendo made levels and doing the Mario Challenge. No uploading levels or searching for levels or following anybody. Makes it completely pointless.

think im going to trade in my spare iphone 6 16gb for the switch. Its 190$ at gamestop and I have a 7 plus now.
edit: Might get even more if they have trade in bonus percent

That doesn't seem convenient at all. If you can go left or right while still running forward you can't take items from left AND right in the same play through. Meh not happening.
(Anyway, I stop talking about this matter)

My suspicion is that you're going to be extremely disappointed.
Yeah, I kinda don't want to have to get a Pro controller right away if I don't have to. Will probably get one down the line for multiplayer but really hoping the Joycon's in the grip feels good.
I think Nintendo should do as many ports as possible as many people who will buy the Switch skipped out on the Wii U.
So what do you want? A quick dirty port that is identical to the Wii U game or let them take a year and add a ton of new features?
For Mario maker specifically, it's in Nintendos best interest to take its time and add a ton of new features before releasing it.

I'm... I'm not quite sure that this is high on the list of things they "have" to do. I'll give you a hug to help with the disappointment.

That would be so dissapointing. No one asked for this ever.

They have to show that? Really? They have to show that? Is that the audience they've been missing?
Ha, I think some people with idiosyncratic tastes are going to be leaving the end of the week mighty disappointed.
It's a no brainer to make an KI sequel on Switch. I'm sure we'll have one. Sakurai can't be only working on the Smash update.

It's Friday morning in Europe it's only the 12th further west in the Americas it's late that night
Yeah, same. I think my 2 'dream' projects that are not outside the realm of possibility are a new Kid Icarus and a new Luigi's Mansion.
They renewed both IP rights weeks ago, this is a reason enough to be optimistic.

If they come out with it late in the year it could be two year since its release. I'd say the 3DS was the quick dirty b team thrown together port. They could have been working on a decent update to release on the Switch since then.
It's probably one of their biggest game that has infinite replayability, it seems kind of crazy that they wouldn't want it out on their new system. Even if it was just as-is.

I'm all about that new pro controller.

I'm thinking this is retros game
For virtual console releases most likely.
Nothing at all. Don't read the last two pages. You'll just get a headache.
Worst case scenario. At least they could remaster these games and add online. I'd be fine with it as the core gameplay is as good now as it was.

But will there be puppets during the presentation?

I'll get a pro mainly because I'd just rather leave the joycons on the tablet all the time. Not so easy to "switch" and play on the crapper or whatever if you have to take the joycons off the grip and put them on the tablet, and then do the reverse to go back to gaming on the TV.
Joycon grip setup looks a tad awkward to me as well, plus lacks a dpad.

The new Mario game is now a 3D runner
Square Enix just reconfirmed (?) DQX for Switch?

What I get from this interview is that DQX is a 2018 game.
Because DQXI will never release earlier than fall 2017 in Japan.

Exactly what I would have assumed.
I think if they're going to do that much work on games that old, they may as well just make new versions. I just don't see it, but hey, hope springs eternal, and this is a place of dreams.
I remember that list. Was epic. But what if IT IS all true?

Naw that ain't happening.
I plan to use them separared, used to love using Wii-Mote + Nunchuk back in the day. Hoepfully they will be good in this mode.
Revive these racing games Nintendo:

Two original titles and the rest are ports of one of the most failed sysyem ever?
That....
is not a good start.

I just thought of another possibility based on the footage we have. What if that is the entire game? Maybe Nintendo is going to sell a 3 second long Mario game for $60. The footage doesn't disprove my theory. I think it's probably likely.

This is why Nintendo will never put Geno in Smash.

He says it doesn't mean they're interested in purchasing them, but they are getting "closer". He says Bayonetta 3 is in development and will be Switch exclusive, and most Platinum Games franchises may all end up in the hands of Nintendo (Okami).
That is the state of those 2 companies right now. Take that as you will.
