So Pokemon STARS

Real? Fake? Anything?

Multiple people among the Nintendo Rumour Leaker Twitter Cluster have reported a third version of Pokemon for the Switch. Some have I believe used this name, presumably jumping off the naming scheme the series uses. Now, whether this is based on actual information or just reasonable speculation that Nintendo will release its biggest franchise on its only hardware platform, that remains unclear.

These claims are bolstered when GameStop referred to a Pokemon game for Switch on its site, but that editorial text may have been written by someone based on rumours because nothing in the article actually gives the impression they actually know anything.

The question is why it sort of matters at this point. Nintendo is obviously not going to quit Pokemon. They release a Pokemon game every year or two. If they port Sun/Moon and call it Stars, great. If they don't, then I'm sure they'll release a Pokemon game on the Switch at some point. Either way, you'll be well taken care of.

 

[Solobbos]

Lol IGN already removed the WiiU tab at the top and changed it to Switch

Eh? No, they didn't.

 

[Vuze]

Hmm... this list is pretty lame. Nothing interesting except for rereleases and a mario game.

Yeah, agreed...

Anyway, bed time for me as well. I hope the show will be worth getting up an hour earlier than usual.

Fucking incredible.

Huh? There are several games on there that have not been released at all yet.

 

[GulAtiCa]

List of title coming to the Switch:

I assume joke list, cause Super Robo mouse dev doesn't have a dev kit. Lol

 

[Harpoon]

List of title coming to the Switch:

This is literally just a GameFAQS screen cap. Nothing new here.

[MANGOD]

Dont fucking tease me with a new f zero game! Hell id be hyped for a gx remaster

 

[Stumpokapow]

I assume joke list, cause Super Robo mouse dev doesn't have a dev kit. Lol

It's not a joke list, but it's relatively easy to add information and any time a dev says "Well I would like to look at Switch but I don't have a dev kit and I've never released a game and I'm 13 and also can anyone program? My idea is basically Minecraft, but with guns" stuff gets added to GameFAQs. So this is basically a point in time list of stuff that has been rumoured, alleged, or confirmed for Switch irrespective of if there is even a chance the products will come out or actually exist.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

The question is why it sort of matters at this point.

Personally because very few Nintendo Franchises do anything for me, Pokemon is one I like. It will dictate when I buy a Switch

 

[gogojira]

What if the mystery dev of new Metroid was Armature. They've head a rough go with some of their games but with Nintendo's help and their history with the series, it could be good.

 

[Verder]

This is going to be a wild night

 

[JimJamJones]

Looks legit

Let's face it, F-Zero is the fakest thing on that list.

 

[CharminUltra]

Hey, what if there's no more F-Zero

what if

what if it's actualy

F-ONE?!?!

 

[Movalpolos]

List of title coming to the Switch:

This would be a fucking terrible launch line up if true.

 

[Mandelbo]

Um... This is based off the Father-Son Kamehameha from Dragon Ball Z's Cell Arc

I apologise for my lack of pop culture knowledge! >_<

Yeah, it's just a list of already confirmed titles.

Yep. Already planned dinner and my night around it. My girlfriend is also making sure I don't miss it.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

List of title coming to the Switch:

why does it look like gamefaqs?

Ah, there we go

 

[brinstar]

With 3DS & Vita winding down, it will be the new default home for JRPGS I think, particularly those that would have went on those platforms (which is most of them these days... unless you count mobile, though I am wondering if ios/androids ports might also flourish on Switch)

Just one of the many reasons to want a Switch!

Yeah tbh this is my biggest hope for the Switch. I play my 3DS way more than my consoles and I'm really hoping those style of games carry over to the Switch.

Those kind of games on there plus the ability to play on TV or on the go is literally my dream system haha.

 

[Ponn]

Man I hope that Disgaea port is true, I really want Switch to have a lot of RPGs

*high five* you I like.

Anyone get an email from Amazon US for preorders? If so did they have a time listed? Thinking of taking a nap to prepare for a long night of F5ing.

 

[Kaze Kyou]

Man thank God my meeting today starts at 4pm. The Switch presentation starts at 3pm here in Australia - even it goes on more than an hour I'll have seen most of it. &#128591;

 

[Bakkus]

This wait is killing me. 5 AM... I'm gonna go out and get drunk in the meantime.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Needs more characters. Convert all new SF4 and V characters into sprites

 

[TheFuzz]

Im about to piss my pants looking at the rumored launch titles.

This is amazing!!!

 

[Lgndryhr]

Rumor, but I fully believe it will be about that long.

 

[Sadist]

I need to sleep but can't

 

[Nikana]

Amazon preorders are at 1 am ET, can anybody tell me if Amazon charges your card right away, or will they wait till it ships?

 

[Realeza]

The treehouse event is immediately after the conference or when?

 

[brad-t]

- Nintendo's focus is offline co-op fun with friends, it's absolutely vital to Nintendo that Switch appeals to kids, they hope kids will play together with their friends on Switch thanks to the included Joy-Con. You may not like this but this will be the centre point of Nintendo's messaging.

I think most of what you wrote is reasonable, but I don't see how kids playing together is the centre point of Nintendo's messaging when the reveal trailer didn't include a single kid. I am pretty sure they are aiming for adults as the early adopters here.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

I hope its not too long either. 2 hours would be too long at that time of the morning.

Wow. I assumed it was going to be a more calm business meeting, but it seems the presentation will be quite the show.

 

[WadeitOut]

Really wish this came out in November. I miss the Wii/Wii U Launch where I spent the freezing ass cold inside playing Nintendo games.

Wait till it ships

NicoNico has the conference set for an hour long block, but it could be a bit longer, depending.

 

[phanphare]

I think it starts tomorrow at 6:30am PT/9:30am ET

 

[Nikana]

Wait till it ships

Thanks for the quick response.

Man idk if I should even try, I'm guessing they are gonna get slammed.

 

[KingBroly]

Too soon.

yep. It seems like the main focus is on young hip millennials....which makes sense as those are the type of people who have money to buy it right now .

Huh, I'm gonna guess Best Buy has a deal for some early in-store demo stations

Has anyone confirmed this yet? I've seen multiple times for Amazon US mentioned in this thread.

Where did you get this?

 

[pokeystaples]

I have prime and they only charge when it ships. Might want to double check if you do not have Prime.

 

[suddenlyissoon]

I just hope I'm not disappointed. I want to love Nintendo, but Nintendo never loves me.

 

[Gai Murakumo]

My guess would be about a hour as well. Any longer it will seem like padding.
