You're forgetting the extra 50-100, or even $200 if you want decent storage in the thing.

I think Luigi's Mansion 3 is inevitable. But Kid Icarus is the one I'm most unsure about.

Obviously, there's going to be a Samus and Captain Falcon puppet to coincide with the announcement of a new Metroid and F-Zero game like the Star Fox puppets in the E3 direct.
In seriousness, probably not, I'm guessing. Won't be completely surprised if there's one or two there
Wait what?

As a massive fan of Wave Race I'd absolutely love to see a sequel, but it's massively unlikely.
Bring on a much more likely sequel to Kid Icarus please!

Damn!!! This game was so good. Funny, didn't know that it's called Uniracers in the US. It's Unirally in Europe
Stop the sanity!!

"Not anytime soon, but it is possible that the franchise ends up in the hands of Nintendo...".
A Bayonetta type of deal I suppose like they did with Sega. His words.

Only if you plan on going for a lot of digital titles
Not that interested in digital games tbh. I sell most of my games. I'll consider it for Splatoon and Mario Kart though.

Hype. Yes.

They're gonna drop right after the conference no matter what.

Sell now I guess.
Hype?
It's gonna crash hard after the presentation no matter how good it is.
This is when Nintendo will be doomed again.
We just heard that the new Mario is a 3d runner.

People are buying stock now, but once it gets revealed, they're going to sell them. That's how they make money.

How many games do you play with a d-pad these days? I play 2d games using one, but that's about it. (I guess I played Mario Kart 8 using one as well, so maybe in the case of one-joycon MP games it might come up.) Regardless, I'd imagine it isn't something you'd think a whole lot about once you get used to it.
Hype?
Welcome to the nonsense of the stock market. Expect it to plummet on Friday for no particular reason.

I hear a rumour that Switch will be 1 with 2 games bundled in.
Yeah, outside of fighters and 2D platforming, a lot of games these days don't really make too much use of the d-pad. At most, you're using for menus, weapon switching, toggling something, etc. so you're not really using it constantly. Everything's done on the left stick it seems.
No matter what happens on Friday, it will drop hard.Hype?

Needs pro controllers.
The rumor comes from someone who was adamant the NX was going to be more powerful than the PS4 Pro.

Bayonetta 3?
/yusssssssssss
He basically says that he knows that Bayonetta 3 is coming and exclusive to switch. He says that Platinum and Nintendo are getting closer together, to the point of wondering if Nintendo would simply buy Platinum.
I did not hear him say anything about Okami actually? I'm rewatching the video but i did not catch that if he said it.

Beyond Good and Evil 2 exclusive (1 year timed).

Screw endless runners. Bring on Flappy Metroid.
I do play MK8 with the d-pad on WiiU, though :0 I wonder if this new weird d-pad will even be useable in the Switch version.

I think the games will look better than a lot of people are expecting.

I 100% believe this as well.
SEGA was involved in the deal. That really was an exception for Nintendo publish a game that already had some development time pre-funded, and was the developer's marque franchise.
Platinum Games didn't develop Okami (Clover did, not all the staff went to PG), nor is there any inclination Nintendo would negotiate all these deals to publish games that sell less than the franchises they already ignore.

A new Wave Race and/or 1080 would be amazing. They both remind me of how good Nintendo's first party output was on the N64.
I guess that's possible, but i'm not sure why Nintendo would want to do that. Okami doesn't really have the weight that Bayonetta does in terms of a following. Another big factor was that Bayonetta 2 was already in development and at some point Sega decided to can it, but Nintendo stepped in and did what it took to allow Platinum to finish it. So, i'm not sure why Nintendo wouldn't just fund an original action-adventure game so that they don't have to license out another developers IP. Especially since they're presumably be funding it from scratch.

Nintendo will make you agree to some sort of online agreement before letting you enable twitch/YouTube streaming.
