"I'm interested in how they introduce THAT unique feature and how people will react to it."

We over analyzed this yet? I might be way late... also, the translation could be nonsense, I guess.

Thanks! Looks like I've got some backtracking to do lol.

Those are ps3 cases measures, aren't they?

 

[Okami Haundo]

"Smaller" titles like Rime and Shovel Knight are my favorite as I actually have time to finish them, but I currently play just about everything on Xbox. Really curious to see if I'll be tempted to "Switch" platforms for that kind of game.

 

[DonShula]

Any chance pre-orders in the US even go live today, or is this going to be one of those bullshit 3:00 AM PST on a random Wednesday for two minutes in February deals?

Absolute best case it's going to be midnight EST. I'm guessing 3am for Amazon. Best Buy seems to update pricing and add titles in the 1a-2a range generally.

If that Amazon UK time is correct and Amazon US is the same, it'll be at 1 AM EST tonight.

It's a shock collar that kills you if you run out of lives. Really cutting edge. Avant-garde tech at its finest. It's all they're talking about in Silicon Valley.

What the fuck this is tonight?

Yooooo my Thursday is redeemed.

We are 9 hours away from history being made

I think I've found a new kink although this almost surely confirms that Dark Souls would never come to Switch. Pretty sure that's just murder at that point.

 

[m4st4]

after, yes. at 7BST

Neat! That's exactly after it finishes. Contemplating whether I should just pre-order from amazon.it since I live in Croatia.

 

[Xeroblade]

Get Hyped!

I seriously cant wait. I am really scared.

Why do I feel like I'm going to hate Arms, Snipperclips and 1 2 Switch? Because of their ridiculous names?

Oh god, now I realized they'll be played for hours at Treehouse live stream! I really don't want to watch NoA employers to play Samurai training mini game over and over again! But I probably will.

LOL

Just imagine if it bombs harder than the Wii U. Still, it'd not be enough for them to exit the game I feel.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Yep. Really wish the event was last night and preorders were up today. It's in the high 60s outside and waiting wouldn't be an issue at all.

 

[Lakerchick4life]

Hopefully Amazon or Best Buy come through. There is no way I can wait in line at GameStop or any other retail location for that matter...

Same here..its pouring rain here in SoCal no way will I go there tomorrow at 8am to pre order a Switch..hopefully they post it online and I can pre order that way

Those names, absent context and marketing, do seem to suck. Hoping the games themselves are a little more interesting.

 

[Toad.T]

Honestly surprised that some random countries' trademark department hasn't spoiled all the fun, like what happened with Sun/Moon

 

[slit]

Are the games listed in the poll rumored to be launch titles or just what will be shown tonight?

 

[Ibuki]

Same here..its pouring rain here in SoCal no way will I go there tomorrow at 8am to pre order a Switch..hopefully they post it online and I can pre order that way

I would, but I start work before the stores would even open. If I was off work I'd probably be crazy enough to brave the elements.

 

[Lakerchick4life]

That's 10PM Pacific Time..finally an upside to living on the West Coast

If you have a Twitter account, I advise following "Cheapassgamer" and "Wario64". Turn on notifications for their accounts if you have a way to do so. Between the two of them, I haven't missed a gaming-related deal yet.

 

[serenewarfare]

Those are titles that are rumored to be playable at an EU event. So that would indicate they will be launch or close to launch titles. But no, that would not be all that will be shown tonight.

 

[FloweryMarston]

fuck the wait is getting harder

 

[Pyrokai]

Yep. Really wish the event was last night and preorders were up today. It's in the high 60s outside and waiting wouldn't be an issue at all.

No! Tomorrow when it's colder when fewer are likely to go out and wait. I don't mind the cold. I want to get one! lol

Rumored to be part of what will be playable in European event.

That Samurai training thing is reminding me the god-awful Shuriken throwing mini game in Nintendoland. There is nothing worse than gimmicky mini games.

 

[Zedark]

Are the games listed in the poll rumored to be launch titles or just what will be shown tonight?

They are games that are rumoured to be playable at a Switch event in Europe. There is no guarantee that:

1. All games listed make launch;
2. No games outside of that list are available at launch;
3. Nintendo announces only those games during the presentation;
4. Nintendo announces all of the games listed during the presentation;
5. These games are all the games that are playable at the Europe events.

 

[Inferno313]

Are the games listed in the poll rumored to be launch titles or just what will be shown tonight?

They're from a 4chan leak that purported to originate from someone setting up the marketing materials for the playable demoes at a European event happening this weekend. So, if these are real, they aren't necessarily launch titles, nor are they necessarily the only titles being shown. Just that they are the playable titles that this one person saw during the set-up for a European event.

What is this Amazon UK time?

Someone pls

What Amazon UK time is this?

7 AM BST. It's listed on the Amazon UK page for the Switch.

I feel like it's Xmas eve. No way I'm sleeping tonight.

What Amazon UK time is this? and what's the source.

 

[psyfi]

Bomberman would be really really dope

 

[Eliseo]

LOL

A console that will have main pokemon game on it selling less than 10m? You must be insane just by the thought of it.

 

[Mik317]

all anyone should be expecting is.

Zelda
Mario
Mario Rabbids
Mk8 "port" with some new courses, characters,battle mode and the ability to hold onto items
Splatoon "port" with new stages.
MAYBE some new IP, but not a major one..think smaller.
Obvious 3rd party stuff like Fifa, COD, 2K...and maaaaaybe Skyrim..but thats it.
and perhaps BG&E2.
Lots of indie stuff
Smaller Japanese titles.

and thats about it.

Anyone going into this expecting All of the warriors to show up now will be massively dissapointed. Yes. The Wii U has been dead for a while but that doesn't mean everything HAS to show up tonight....thats not how things work.

as with every conference, expect the bare minimum...that way even the small surprises are actual surprises.

But considering people are already let down, this will fall on deaf ears I guess.

Awesome I added them both thanks so much..I prefer gamestop online since I have the most credit with them, but if I have to buy from amazon or best buy that's fine too I dont care at this point

 

[Rhuidan]

They are doing this early so people preorders the game before it gets buried once the big games get announced. I think I will get this one anyways since I skip it on Wii U and word of mouth seems to indicate it's a good game.

This was a fantastic game, humour is really good.

not even 3 posts above yours...

 

[newarrior]

7am UK is 11pm PST?

 

[AmaterasuOkami076]

Dumb question, but is there a separate UK/Europe stream? Or are we all jumping in on the same channel since it's a worldwide thing? Will the stream quality hold up if everyone jumps in on the same stream?

 

[serenewarfare]

7am UK is 11pm PST?

10 PM PST/1 AM EST

 

[oti]

This thread is getting crazy. I'll post my final predictions a bit later. Nothing new, just a recap. Gonna wake up at 4:30 tomorrow.

 

[SuperSah]

7 AM BST. It's listed on the Amazon UK page for the Switch.

oh fuck

O FUCK. I'LL BE AWAKE FOR IT <3

It's a worldwide thing thats gonna be dubbed.

Bare minimum is still a lot, considering all the bingo cards.
