Hot damn! I really enjoy those predictions! The only thing I'd change is expecting Mario Strikers to be a port of the Mario Sports game that's coming to 3DS. Many have noted that it seems like a ton of work is going into that game based on promotional art. What are your thoughts on hardware SKU's? One or two?
sometimes. not always.

Please no more leaks. I want surprises like Cloud in Smash.
The presentation being locked down in Japan might actually help prevent the whole thing from leaking.

Nah, I was referring to some conversations on the last page.
Oh nice!
Btw does anyone hear that...? Sounds like... Metroid music floating on the distant breeze...?!
They did say two E3s ago that more metroid is coming when people backlashed at Federarion Force.

Yep, Nintendo is locking all those people involved with Switch Presentation within a chamber for one whole week to prevent leaks.

That and Federation Force ends on a clift hanger for the main series. Metroid is a lock.

Ah, everyone I see.

Certainly not a lock. Expectations folks. Keep em in check.

Perhaps not a lock for the Switch event but there has certainly been a Metroid game in development for a long time. It is highly likely to be announced.

Yessss! I'm so happy! Pretty sure that I'll have a Switch on launch day *knocks wood*
So I called some local gameshops here in the Netherlands in my city and most of them already had 40+ pre-orders. I thought I was early!! Just signed me in to be sure, here in the Netherlands you can always cancel on releaseday if you find it somewhere else.
So I called one shop and they hadn't begun with the pre-orders! But they said screw it and began with me. So at least I'm first on the list there!! Of course there is always the small chance that they will get NO Switch-consoles, but to be honest that seems like a reaaaally small chance. Almost all game/toy shops at least get a few.
In the US its different, right? You guys can't pre order yet?
So hyped for friday (friday for us Europeans). Thursday night I'll be going to the capital city and staying in a hotel there, at 4 am I'll wake up, shower and then watch the presentation at 5 am. Then straight to the train station that'll take me to the press event to play with the console.
My personal hopes? Wave Race. Just Wave Race. I don't care what else they do, if I see a graphical impressive Wave Race they've made my year.

This is one sexy fanart.
Speculation. It's possible that a Metroid game has been in development for a long time. It's possible that one will be announced tomorrow. It's also possible that one won't be announced. Keep those expectations in check. I don't want to be on GAF Friday listening to a bunch of people whine about stuff that was never confirmed.
OMG YES PLEASE
I can't believe we still haven't gotten a new one this gen
Since the Switch has two controllers included it would be PERFECT for Virtua Tennis.

Same here. It's my favorite racing IP and that trademark that popped up a month or so ago really got my hopes up.

BotW is pushing the Wii U a bit too far. Switch seems much smoother from the little we've seen, so as far as I'm concerned, I'm glad they waited for Switch.
I'm glad it's still coming to Wii U still solely for emulation.

Yep. I've played Wave Race 64 for 5 years straight I think? Soooo good. The physics are out of this world. Blue Storm doesn't come close but was still a great launch game.
Really strange, I mean I get the point but still. It's gonna be a madhouse for them coming friday (or few days after). Why put yourself through that as a store?

Wow... So people are making fake tweets from LKD now? I'll never understand...

So it has been a while since we released the last one [Metroid title] and were having discussions internally about what we can do next
So at this point we have two different types of Metroid games. We have the Prime style of Metroid game and we have the more traditional style of Metroid game. We feel that we do need to take care of both of these styles of play. And the hope is that at some point in the near future well be able to share something about them. (Shinya Takahashi, 2014)
Yeah it is speculation but it's been over two years since that statement and Federation Force sets up the premise for Prime 4 and continues a story that hadn't been touched in nearly 10 years. I think it's far more likely than not.
That would be sooo awesome. The 4 new cups could be SR388 Cup, Corneria Cup, Inkopolis Cup and Alfheim Cup, each one with at least one game-themed circuit and unlockable character.
I don't know if you saw, but this very thing has been rumored heavily from a few legit sources. So, I'm very curious to see what form it will take!
Love the picture. Its really cool. Still it feels a little too much like Princess Peach wore a blue outfit. Rosalina in SMG was more of a strawberry blonde and Rosalina in SM3D world was more of a platnium blonde to differentiate from Peach

Highly doubt we're getting stand alone versions of any of the sports that are in Mario Sports: Superstars. That being said Tennis looks just like the previous two iterations from what we've seen.

Are we really only one day away?! My god.
Regarding Mario Sports, I want Mario Tennis64 to be released on Switch Virtual Console.

I wonder if I can get my dad back into Nintendo gaming. I recently checked out his Game Boy collection and his collection is actually pretty good (and hardcore). It includes games such as Gargoyles, Mega Man, Ducktales, Mystic Quest, among others. As a child, those games were too difficult for me...
More than 20 years later, he doesn't really play anymore. Maybe some phone games for short periods or point & click adventures. I also recommended the Lara Croft Go and Deus Ex Go titles from the Amazon store, just like Monument Valley. With the latest Ubisoft promotion he also downloaded Assassin's Creed and I gave him my Xbox 360 controller. Seems like he enjoys it. That's probably the first really hardcore game he's playing since Resident Evil 4 on Wii.
Looking at the footage of Rime, I think it's exactly the kind of game he'd enjoy nowadays.

I'm happy we're having discussions about more than Mario and Wii U ports being shown tomorrow. Let's raise those expectations.

These comments just made me imagine a 2.5D Metroid with the option to go first person and scan for details/secrets. As much as I loved Prime, I enjoyed the exploration above all else.

This would kill my hype.
Okay. Let's talk about Metroid Prime 4.
I really do expect a sequel to Xenoblade Chronocles X to be shown tomorrow. Monolith and Nintendo put in a lot of time and money for that engine and I bet it allowed them to easily be able to develop a sequel in a timely manner. I expect a port announcement for X and a blowout for its sequel.
