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

It's okay, it's just funny because how you described it is what is.

[Diddy Kong]

Do we think Gamecube Virtual Console will be announced in the presentation?

 

[fluffydelusions]

Most people think we will

Oh nice!

 

[TheFuzz]

So "Amazon starting preorders at 1am" is just blowing smoke since apparently no one here knows where that came from.

 

[7roject28]

I'm gonna drive over to NOA headquarters, 20 mins away, and line up at 6am. When they ask what I'm doing there, I'm gonna say I'm here for the Switch preorder.

 

[Guardian Monkey]

So "Amazon starting preorders at 1am" is just blowing smoke since apparently no one here knows where that came from.

Correct

 

[Angry Chair]

Do we know what it is?

Next-gen jiggling.

 

[Inferno313]

Do we think Gamecube Virtual Console will be announced in the presentation?

If it's making launch? Probably. They aren't having another one of these before then.

 

[WadeitOut]

So "Amazon starting preorders at 1am" is just blowing smoke since apparently no one here knows where that came from.

I've preordered a lot of stuff on Amazon and I've never heard of the preorder time of Amazon being announced ahead of time.

 

[Gai Murakumo]

I wonder if we will get announcements such as Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem type announcements where we will really not see the game for several years.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Do we think Gamecube Virtual Console will be announced in the presentation?

I think so. I think they might even mention it somewhat offhandedly.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

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

Might be the real deal. Count me in for Zelda, Mario Kart, Super Mario and Yooka-Laylee...maaaaybe Shovel Knight. So glad my birthday is this week. I got a few amazon gift cards that should cover the console, which just leaves out of pocket for the games.

Yeah, agreed...

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

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

These aren't launch titles (well, some might be) they're just games that have been confirmed.

 

[delume]

Nothing new but cant stop refreshing this thread. I thought I had learnt from the WiiU but every time, every damn time, Nintendo pulls me back in. Wetrix: Getting Wetter, F-Zero Switch, Mario Kart Maker, Zak and Wiki 2, Donkey Kong Artic Heatwave and Lost Winds 3 please. Let'sa go! &#128518;

 

[Haloid1177]

I've preordered a lot of stuff on Amazon and I've never heard of the preorder time of Amazon being announced ahead of time.

They used to do it with Amiibo all the time and they did it with the NES Classic too.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

That has to be a digimon..

You can't even see about 50% of the design.

 

[Boke1879]

I'm hype

 

[Dartastic]

Where did you guys hear about the preorders opening at 1AM EST for Amazon?

 

[brandonh83]

Soon.

 

[woodsey1982]

Spoilers for what? I don't think Nintendo is going to spoil their own games.

As in a thread with a link on the first page to the stream from the start without reading anything spoiler related before hand.

 

[SuperSah]

So "Amazon starting preorders at 1am" is just blowing smoke since apparently no one here knows where that came from.

It's an assumption based on when us in the UK get it online.

SO EXCITED. 6 hours left, come on!

 

[PadWarrior]

Where did you guys hear about the preorders opening at 1AM EST for Amazon?

Had to do with U.K. Amazon giving their time and lining that up with the American time.

 

[m4st4]

This guy was born 55 years ago to deliver the hype tonight.

 

[gweemz]

Where did you guys hear about the preorders opening at 1AM EST for Amazon?

They are going by the Amazon UK bst 7am announcement.

 

[Padinn]

I want them to announce the Wii switch u upgrade promotion.

I'm excited to see what they have to offer.


Could also be fascinating if it somehow integrates a gaming stream feature...but I highly doubt it'll happen.

 

[JStein0222]

Clarification: between Smash, Kart and Splatoon, I know that Smash is supposed to be a ways off, but which is more likely at launch Splatoon or Kart?

Reallllly hoping I'll be able to Squid at launch

 

[Aaronrules380]

Is reggie even going to be there tonight? Event is in Japan

 

[EatChildren]

At work, alone.
Sick as a dog.
With a client calendar scheduled for two people.
And a ton of work I need to catch up on.

....yeeaaaah no way I'll be able to sneak away and watch this.

 

[Jamie OD]

My body is SO ready

Pro Wrestling reboot? I like you.

 

[ksamedi]

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.

Yeah I dont see why local multiplayer is meant dor kids? This is a perfect lunchbreak console.

 

[PadWarrior]

As in a thread with a link on the first page to the stream from the start without reading anything spoiler related before hand.

Don't think that will be possible. All the news will have topics on the first page here.

Awesome. Thanks guys! It'll only be 10PM in Oregon soooo I'ma be camped out hitting that F5 SO HARD.

Splatoon going by rumours.

 

[R00bot]

Ayyy I went to sleep expecting 150 to 200 pages and I got 150. Good job guys

 

[Josh5890]

Do we think Gamecube Virtual Console will be announced in the presentation?

I want all of these Virtual Console announcements tonight....

Full Wii-U VC library is available on day one.
Free transfer of all of your Wii-U VC games to the Switch (through your My Nintendo Account)
GCN, Arcade, Turbo Graphix, Seag Saturn, and Dreamcast games will arrive.
For third-party love for the system

 

[Ponn]

I've preordered a lot of stuff on Amazon and I've never heard of the preorder time of Amazon being announced ahead of time.

They have been doing it quite a bit lately. They advertised preorder window times for PS VR, Amiibos all the time even the NES Classic Edition.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

So is this presentation in English or what?

And did I hear right that there's a Treehouse right after or something?

Thanks!

 

[SuperSah]

Japanese with English live translations.

I'd imagine it'd be specific depending on if you watch the EU/USA streams.

 

[Lexxism]

Japanese but there will be an English voice over.

Yea, tomorrow.

English voice over translation, as the whole thing is in japanese.

Treehouse is the morning after. (in the US timezone at least)

 

[Nakazato]

I've got a lot of coffee, a folder of 'Nintendo is Doomed' memes and a folder of 'Nintendo is Saved' memes. Bring on 4am!

 

[-Horizon-]

We almost there

6 hours

Spoiler

to meltdowns and disappointment!

Is it 6 hours until the stream or 6 hours until online preorders are expected to go up?
