Support NeoGAF

[kuroneko0509]

Which services will this be streamed on btw? Twitch I guess, but YT as well?

twitch, youtube, nicovideo, line live (latter two aren't relevant to the general gaf user)

 

[Dark Cloud]

I'll add too I don't want Dark Souls Metroid or Platinum Games Metroid

I want Metroid. I don't care for those devs to touch Metroid.

 

[wild wild rice]

We're supposed to get an ice storm tonight, but NOTHING is stopping me from reserving a Switch tomorrow lol

jackal tomorrow am

 

[Jaded Alyx]

..................wtf is Windjammers?

 

[Hindl]

Any word on how long this event is gonna be?

Roughly an hour is the estimate, maybe a little longer

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Less than 12 hours people!

That's a long-ass time if you break it down to milliseconds.

 

[vgamer1]

it'll probably be a letdown so temper your hype people

We're getting release date and price so I won't be letdown.

 

[Kindekuma]

MERRY SWITCHMAS, GAF! MEEERRRRY SWITCHMAS!

 

[wild wild rice]

How about neither. Let it be from Nintendo.

Now that actually WOULD be a huge surprise dev for Metroid.

 

[Quadraxis]

It's 12 hours before the presentation starts and this thread already moves like a formula one car. The thirst is real it seems, let me join in on that

 

[RobFox64tm]

What's all this Street Fighter II talk? What is the Reddit rumor?

 

[Instro]

Judging from comments made by various insiders, Metroid is being developed by an outside studio, but it's not From or Platinum. I'm going to bet on NLG who were supppsed to be developing a WiiU game ages ago, if not them then my next guesses would be Vanillaware or Chair.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

They were given away a Wii U on the Price is Right this morning lol

 

[RM8]

Ed Boon (from NRS, the team behind the Mortal Kombat & Injustice games) tweeted this about the Switch.

I'd love MKX on Switch, but considering the PS360 version never came to be, and MKX being the "old" game compared to Injustice 2, I'm positive it's pretty much never going to happen

 

[Peru]

Yeah I'm wary of Metroid skinned _developer signature style_. I want it to feel like Metroid Prime tbh.

 

[Firemind]

We're getting release date and price so I won't be letdown.

but we already know it'll be somewhere in march

and like you wouldn't get it if it was priced $300 instead of $250

 

[Volotaire]

..................wtf is Windjammers?

A really cool powerdisc game that was released on the Neo Geo.

 

[Tom Nook]

HYPE

Getting a Metroid game AND a Retro game announcement. HYPE!

 

[Neiteio]

MERRY SWITCHMAS, GAF! MEEERRRRY SWITCHMAS!

I wonder if any babies born today will have Jeebus powers

 

[Spirit Icana]

It's a classic metroidvania game from VanillaWare. Dat Kamitani goodness.

Speaking of VanillaWare, whatever happened to that game they showed at the Tokyo Game Show two years ago.

We haven't heard anything of it since.

 

[thecouncil]

We're getting release date and price so I won't be letdown.

well, that certainly depends on what youre expecting those two things to be. haha.

 

[Kjellson]

Gonna have Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Gamestop Pages up and refreshing during the presentation.



The poll at the top of the thread.

I'm on mobile. I can't see anything.

 

[Speely]

What's all this Street Fighter II talk? What is the Reddit rumor?

Someone "working an event" in Europe somewhere posted the list that makes up the poll at the top of the page.

We discussed this yesterday and I'll say I'm fully on board for ChAIR. It'd be a great UE4 showcase.

 

[vgamer1]

well, that certainly depends. haha.

I already have a decent amount of money set aside. I'm ready.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Julien Chièze saying implying Bayonetta 3 is a thing.

 

[-Horizon-]

CD Projekt Red

Can't wait to have samus twirl and spin around the space pirates.

 

[sir_bumble_bee]

I'd love MKX on Switch, but considering the PS360 version never came to be, and MKX being the "old" game compared to Injustice 2, I'm positive it's pretty much never going to happen

Nah, I think an Injustice 2 port is pretty likely, Wii U got Gods Among Us

 

[robotrock]

Julien Chièze saying Bayonetta 3 is a thing.

I don't believe it.

 

[Anteo]

Thank god Retro is not doing Metroid, we already got 3 of these by them.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

That's a long-ass time if you break it down to milliseconds.

or in Dog years.

 

[Bringer Of Bacon]

Hypeeeee don't want metro if. I'm hoping for new Mario golf or Mario party

 

[Vuze]

twitch, youtube, nicovideo, line live (latter two aren't relevant to the general gaf user)

Cool, thanks. Will be watching on YT, twitch is always a lil funky for me

 

[The Last One]

Metroid by From Software would be incredible.

 

[oti]

I think some of you are misinterpreting SFII.

- It's not supposed to be a substitute for all the 3rd party games Sony and Microsoft have. This isn't Nintendo saying: "Look, Sony has SFV, we have SFII!"
- It's the series' anniversary. What do people associate with "old Street Fighter"? SFII.
- Where did people play SFII? On the SNES. With the current Retro trend, the advertisement for this game writes itself. Two friends playing SFII on SNES -> time jump -> two friends playing SFII on Switch.
- I'm not even sure this will be Switch exclusive.
- It's a novelty game. It's not supposed to be the next Street Fighter or anything more than a tribute to the series with the most popular game of that series with some additional content.

How some of you make this feel-good title seem like the death of Switch is beyond me.

 

[Lebon14]

In about 10 hours, we went from Page 67, to Page 111.
Now that's hype!

 

[PadWarrior]

Will street fighter 2 have arcade mode?

 

[Scalemail Ted]

I'm assuming preorders will open tomorrow morning?

 

[sonto340]

In the U.S., no. Online pre-orders are separate from in-store. Gamestop only lets you do in-store pickup for products that are released and in-stock. If you want it in-store, you've gotta hoof it to your nearest location and put money down.

Primarily because you don't "purchase" the item online via that method. It just sends a message to the store to put one aside if they have it.

I'm hoping and praying that my store will have units first thing tomorrow. I have all my money for Switch tied up in Gamestop credit.

Well this sucks.
It supposed to start icing like a mother fucker around 9 am here.
Does gamestop take preorders over phone.

 

[-shadow-]

Julien Chièze saying implying Bayonetta 3 is a thing.

This will cause me to wake up the entire house if this is announced!

 

[10k]

Metroid by From Software would be incredible.

Blocked.

 

[Bunga]

Do you guys think we'll see any information on what third party games to expect in 2017?

 

[vgamer1]

I'm assuming preorders will open tomorrow morning?

Most likely tonight online.

 

[RootCause]

I want metroid to be designed like a metroid, not a souls game. I want souls on nintendo systems though.

👏👏👏
Its crazy talk. Nintendo doing amazing work with BOTW. But people hoping for Platinum, or From to take over.

 

[valkillmore]

Will street fighter 2 have arcade mode?

Has there ever been a release of SF2 that hasn't?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Most likely tonight online.

I hope I can secure one.

 

[random25]

Will street fighter 2 have arcade mode?

In season 3, maybe.

 

[Caelus]

Each joy con had the right amount of buttons for two player SFII anywhere, it'd be a great cute novelty title.

 

[Spirit Icana]

Metroid by From Software would be incredible.

I don't know. Metroid has been running a smooth 60fps on consoles up till now. From Soft isn't exactly known for good tech.

 

[PadWarrior]

In season 3, maybe.

Lol
