I'm used to it. I have no problem with GAF and love coming here occasionally. It's full of smart and friendly people.

I do what I do just to try keep people informed and share what I know. I'm doing my best. I have no bad intentions. It's a shame so many people on here don't seem to see that and seem to hate me for some reason or another.



I mean this is simply not true. I'm dropping stuff all the time. I broke the Gamecube VC story. I broke Scalebound the other day.
Mind going ahead and telling us which part is real and which part is false of the 4chan leak....
 
I wouldn't get your hopes up for Destiny or Overwatch (you'd think that Blizzard would be listed if Overwatch was coming).

Its funny. I'm positive is Switch does well, it will get Hearthstone. Overwatch is going to be a phenomenon over the next few years. Probably GTA V level success. It is incredibly scalable game. (like most blizzard games). If Nintendo money hats games Destiny 2, rocket League, and Overwatch should be on Switch. Overwatch is trending to be a bigger success than COD.

a straight SF2 port with a couple new characters sounds boring as fuck

if its true im hoping it turns out to be a ground up remake
Capcom already has two other fighting games to support. I doubt that they'd have the time for a full SFII remake without outsourcing it to someone else.
 
5am in Europe what the fuck Nintendo
I can't believe the event is at the comfortable time of 2.30pm for me here in Oz instead of the usual 1am-4am.

Thank you Nintendo!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Wastes hours checking old Famitsu software data, but that's why we love him.
That list looks just underwhelming enough to be plausible. Even acknowledging its just playable titles, pretty weak third party presence.
 
>Has Been Heroes - Indie viking style action game. Being developed by Frozenbyte (Shadwen, Nine Parchments).
>Fast RMX - Fast Racing NEO redone on Switch with new content.
>Snipperclips - Small title that uses the two joycons for two players. That's all I know.
>Splatoon 2 - It's a sequel, not just a port.
>Super Bomberman R - Surprise!
>Arms - Fantasy fighting game. All characters are themed and have long arms with different powers/effects. Art style very reminiscent of The Wonderful 101, may be developed by Platinum Games.
>Disgaea 5 Complete - Original game with all DLC
>Ultra Street Fighter 2: The Final Challengers - Port with new content.
>Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Port with new content.
>Super Mario Odyssey - New 3D Mario title. Logo has a plane in it, implying a new flight mechanic.
>Zelda BoTW
>Just Dance 2017
>Skylanders Imaginators
>1 2 Switch - The Switch's minigame compilation, showcasing the tech. Games include (don't know exact names) Samurai Training, Wild West Shootout, Crack the safe, milk, ball catch and copy the beat.


This sounds...kind of lame

I think all those 4chan games are launch games, save for Mario Kart. There won't be big third party stuff, most of the launch window will be first party stuff.

Bomberman is probably another Momotaru Densetsu situation, Nintendo licensing a franchise and making a game. "The big surprise" everybody mentioned is probably that. I'm sure it's going to be out physically too. Published by Nintendo.

SF2 is probably an edited VC game with online.

Snipperclips and 1 2 Switch are eShop only first party stuff.

Has been Heroes and Fast RMX are day 1 indies.

Arms is the "crazy new IP" Emily was talking about.

Disgaea 5, i have serious doubts that it's a launch day game. Even it's a simple port, it would take months to NISA to bring it here. Summer game, perhaps.

That's about it, I expect nothing more. Maybe FIFA but that's it. No GTA, no Deus Ex, no Tekken, no Dark Souls. Just more Wii U ports and weird gimmick games from Nintendo.

More than pretty weak. Thats dreadful even compared to Wii U. A port of a 25 year old game is notable enough to get a slot.

Maturity, bitches.
Hey guys, the Senran Kagura creator retweeted the Nintendo Switch tweet; that means he has something to show at the show riiiiiiiiiiiight?

Which means there's a game about breasts.

A game that someone, allegedly being in the know, on 4chan didn't even hint about.

If there's anything pointing toward the list being fake it's that!

Bomberman ??

That would be fitting for the whole local multi focus, i like that. Actually when i think about it it's perfect. 2 players by screen, 4 screens...

I really hope Nintendo goes far wit that whole potential cause that's the real gameplay unique feature here.

I was thinking about that, but i may be completely wrong. it may be complete fantasy. Take something like Dark Soul. I guess it's not easy to implement a coop mode in the console and pc versions cause.. it would require online, which means costs, servers, a whole interface... It's also impossible to do it locally for obvious reasons, split screen is not easy with tech limitations.. and you can't lan many PS4.. It's possible for pc but it needs some complicated organization.

So yeah, something "simple" like a coop mode is not simple at all in the current configuration. For heavy games.

Now with the Switch ? No online needed, no servers, no need for split screens, nor complex organization with lots of material. Just 2 people with the game, Bluetooth connection, and we go. Apart from the obvious game design realities (it shouldn't break the game obviously), it's technically pretty easy i guess. At least it needs no additional costs to implement.

So it would be super nice to see many Switch ports with added coop or versus mode. Actually een something like FFXV, apart from the difficulty to port it to begin with of course, could have a coop mode where you play the 4 guys simultaneously. That one is probably not doable cause they didn't planned the 3 other guys to be playable of course. Would need more work. But, i mean, i think it would be a killing Switch feature if only the switch versions of games had this.

If it's not Splatoon and it's not Mario Kart, then what?

SSB? I don't think they can can make a new one in such a short time.

SMM? I guess they can call it a new game, but that would require whole new styles for the courses, not just some minor add-on features.

Xenoblade X? This is my next guess if Splatoon is not the one. They already have the world, they just need to continue the story and change a couple of things. This seems feasible.

Mario maker makes the most sense. Its effectively a template to just throw in loads more stuff and expand upon it.

Xenoblade is highly unlikely. That game had major flaws which could use to be resolved in a port like Nintendo do with Zelda remasters rather than a sequel. Also it was rumoured to be a straight port with no improvements let alone a sequel.

That's a pretty bad list. I'd have to hold off getting an NS since I don't want to play Zelda and nothing else on that list is interesting to me.

It should be one of the poll options.

So I guess there's supposed to be a game for it? First time I heard that...and isn't it a little late to be having a Thor 2 game? It'd make more sense to have a Thor 3 game.

Seems more likely if Capcom was going to bring a Street Fighter game to Switch it would be Alpha or Street Fighter 4. Why bring a 25 year old game over...

If these are launch games I would be happy!

Yeah I still lean towards fake - I mean you would think NBA 2K and Skyrim would be playable at the very least.

We'll see soon
