Support NeoGAF

[Griss]

One thing I think will be really telling is what the 3rd party sizzle reel will look like, if they even have one.

If this thing can't get ports of Fifa and Madden, for example, that would bode very poorly. And if it is getting such ports you imagine they'd get a minor mention tonight.

I actually suspect that there will be almost no western 3rd party support, not at launch anyway. I think Nintendo's plan has been to try and leave such games for PS4/XB1 and use japanese games and indies as the bulk of their 3rd party games. It might not be such a bad idea, but not getting Fifa would hurt the Switch in a major way in Europe. A full fat console Fifa you can take on the go would be very appealing.

around one hour

If the source for that is NicoNico, they're not very reliable. I don't think there's any official end time.

 

[Galactic Specter]

Now imagine what he can do with two joy-cons

 

[Inferno313]

I'm actually most curious right now to see a decent look at the system's OS and internal features. I don't expect a detailed walk-through, but I'm really curious to see how they lay it all out and what kind of extra features along the likes of streetpass and miiverse make it in.

 

[Lord Azrael]

Super Bomberman makes so much sense from a Joy Con multiplayer perspective that I almost have to believe this by default

The fact that it makes sense only decreases its chance of being real!

 

[MissileTrick]

Snipperclips is such a good name for a game, mainly because I can't possibly even guess what it could be about.

I hope it's the trauma center of hair cuts

But it won't be, nothing will be the trauma center of anything ;-;

 

[Kikorin]

I'm trying to do something else than refresh every 3 sec the thread, like finish ReCore or play a bit of Pokémon Moon, but hype is too much, I can only refresh like crazy.

 

[DrROBschiz]

LKD backed up Obe1's Metroid video.

Metroid for E3 confirmed then eh


Cuz all the Metroid callouts said it wouldnt be at this event


Maybe a small tease?

 

[psyfi]

Nintendo has two months to hype this thing and they are not going to hold back. No third party announcements? No Smash footage? That feels so tame considering the timeline we're talking about here. Nintendo is going all out tonight. BELIEVE.

Just be careful to not set yourself up for dissapointment.

 

[Wagram]

I'm most interested in the handheld component of this console. I'm not very interested in what they announce in terms of their usual IPs.

 

[ReyVGM]

Didn't IGN say they were going to have a show one hour before the Switch presentation? That will at least make the wait feel shorter.

I hope the OS and UI are streamlined, easy to use, has a unified aesthetic, is fast and snappy, have sensible shortcuts and have a wide range of options.

 

[Inferno313]

I'm also curious to see if there will be games that specifically require more than two joy-cons. My question is, assuming that the system comes bundled with the two joy-cons and a joy-con grip, if I buy a pro controller is that all I'll need to be able to do two-player in every game? Or will I also need a second set of joy-cons and a second grip in addition to that pro controller?

I'm in the same boat! I know my dedicated time for gaming won't change dramatically once the Switch comes out, but I can still play around with the OS. I currently find a strange sense of joy in powering up my Xbox One just to browse through the store and such.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Snipperclips is such a good name for a game, mainly because I can't possibly even guess what it could be about.

It's clearly a Bonzai Barber sequel.

What if there is no smash reveal?

 

[wild wild rice]

Yeah I'm starting to think we're not going to have gigaton after gigaton at tonight's event since they have to save stuff for this years E3 so maybe tonight Nintendo will just focus on stuff releasing from march till probably, september, with a few teases for what they will release on the holidays, but only that, a tease.

Nintendo's whole strategy with Switch so far has been a drip feed. I'm expecting precisely one gigaton.

 

[jack_package_200]

Whats everyone playing while you wait? I am replaying A Link to the Past.

 

[JonnyKong]

Also, do you remember those stories about Nintendo having a new ip that's completely bonkers.

I know a lot of people are assuming it's the Rabbids crossover, but it could be the Snipperclips or Arms game.

I should probably stop assuming this leaked list is true.

 

[LordKano]

There's the AGDQ running if you want to pass the time.

 

[PSFan]

Didn't that happen with Twilight on GC?

That was like 2 weeks after the Wii launch. I bet if Nintendo knew how hard the Wii was going to be for people to get, they may have released the GC version on Wii launch day too.

 

[psyfi]

No smash footage today??

Someone else was expressing anxiety about that, it's pure worry, not even a rumor.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Metroid for E3 confirmed then eh

They have to show or tease it. If they just gonna say Metroid we can then assume its federation force 2

 

[Stairouais]

That's the thing that make this list fake. It makes too much sense.

Like Pokemon Snap on Wii U.

 

[SuperSah]

I have been told Pre-orders / pre-sells will start the 13th at all retailers such as GameSpot, Amazon, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, etc.

As well as release date is March 17th worldwide.

May I ask how you found this out?

 

[The_Intruder]

Oh boy this is like ESRB leak all over again, and we know how this has ended...

 

[Herb Alpert]

Friday the 13th tomorrow. Who's dressing up?

OMG lol

 

[jack_package_200]

Oh boy this is like ESRB leak all over again, and we know how this has ended...

Wait, what have I missed?

 

[Volotaire]

Wow it's going to be snowing overnight. A white Switchmas.

 

[TunaLover]

Only 3 percent of developers working on Switch.... It's dead guys no need to watch the event.

Devastating number :/

 

[demosthenes]

Oh cool, I thought this was tomorrow!

 

[Sadist]

Any worthwhile leaks going around?

 

[Inferno313]

Devastating number :/

Where was that reported? or is this another edition of "tales from my ass"?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

That's the thing that make this list fake. It makes too much sense.

Like Pokemon Snap on Wii U.

Actually thats what makes the leak real.

No one ever said anything about bomberman and its makes sense.

 

[That Damn Kid]

BREAKING

 

[Blackquill]

We're gonna see this one more time, and it's gonna be hype af.

YES PLEASE

 

[jonno394]

Only 3 percent of developers working on Switch.... It's dead guys no need to watch the event.

How many were polled?

edit - 3% is around 135 devs, not bad, not great. Number will increase dependant on how it does.

Lmao.

 

[bomblord1]

Where was that reported? or is this another edition of "tales from my ass"?

They polled some developers on "what system are you currently working on" 3% said switch. Which is higher compared to many other systems on the poll including the wiiU and 3DS

 

[forknknife]

Fuck the presentation, what I want to see the most are Sunhilegend's gifs! Where are you sunhi?

 

[Bakkus]

How long is the Direct gonna be this time?

 

[PadWarrior]

BREAKING

Lol!!!!

 

[Xdrive05]

Any worthwhile leaks going around?

The 4chan leak looks like it has a list of playable games for Europe, which are possibly the launch games. A few lines of evidence seem to suggest it's real.

Edit: not necessarily ALL playable games, correction.

 

[Blackquill]

I am studying, you don't know how hard it is

 

[Nairume]

We don't know if it was all of the playable games. Just some of them.

 

[Cartho]

not getting Fifa would hurt the Switch in a major way in Europe. A full fat console Fifa you can take on the go would be very appealing.

I totally agree. If people think they can get a full fat Fifa, albeit with paired back graphics (and Frostbite is pretty flexible in this way) with Ultimate Team etc, which can be played on the go and at home? That would be absolutely HUGE. Especially in the UK where Fifa is extremely heavily played.

For many people, the thought of being able to play Fifa at home in the evening then just stick it in your bag and carry on playing on the way to work would be a system seller.

Eeeeh may I correct that by saying that nowhere it said that it's all.

It's just some games.
