Damn man... You're dreaming big and I like it!
I want to see one dungeon to know they are there. The one thing that will take my hype away in an instant is by saying traditional dungeons are gone and replaced with shrines.

I mean, I'm up for this new approach they have going as much as the next person, but it has to have some traditional dungeons as well, surely.
imagine knowing all about the Switch and then having to wait like 8 months to actually get it in your hands

It'll just be one full day for Splatoon, Zelda, and Mario. Come on man! We all know the Switch won't have anything to play on it.
More like WiiUPortmas amirite?

It will definitely have dungeons, though maybe only four of them. And if Zelda is a launch title then there's a good chance a/the dungeon/s will be shown off since there's not much time left. But Zelda may only get significant show time during the treehouse event on Friday, assuming tomorrow is primarily about promoting the rest of the lineup and not so much about re-hyping Zelda again. Who knows.
Imagine if they get everyone hyped only to show off Zelda and only Zelda every single day. lol
One day of Zelda, one day of Mario 3d and one day of Wii U ports.

Just the final bosses of all of them.

Nintendo confirmed it will have dungeons at E3. And I don't care to see them.
Same for me Nintendo should hold of much spoilers this game is about exploring and surviving and saving a destroyed Hyrule.
Spoiling whole dungeons and other things would ruin that big time.

Any updates to pre-order news? Trying to determine what time I go to get in/start a line at Gamestop on Friday. Really want to know if I can pre-order more than one, as I need three for my house (myself, son, and daughter.)

E3 2016 parts 2, 3 and 4! They'll just play through the entire game and reveal that no one else can ever play BoTW. It's "lets play" the game and can only be experienced on Switch via the Youtube app.
How do you think they'll handle them? Make all the dungeons mandatory but you will only know that once you approach the dark castle in the center? like you play most of the game doing whatever you want and when you have the courage to go after the calamity they tell you to first go to these four or five places to break the seals and then the game becomes a linear dungeon structure like Zelda?

That'd actually make me happy lol.
Something about Nintendo products and games that make me feel like I'm 10 again in regards to excitement.

I'd measure that expectation. Just because they're going to be streaming a lot doesn't mean it will be all original content.
-Splattoon demo
-Interview with Splatoon creator
-Some press people invited to play and streaming their splatoon match
-A splatoon tournament with selected fans.
-Rerunning various content
Just my thoughts.

Lol.. more than one? You better be going to multiple store or online.
Nintendo hates cancer prevention confirmed
You can go to the final boss (according to Nintendo at last e3) at the very start of the game if you want, so they are not mandatory but they will probably grant you powers or stuff to make that final fight easier.

Don't forget Just Dance. That'll need a day for itself.

I'm well aware I'm setting myself up for disappointment.

The times seem to intersect with the YouTube Experience streams. Are you sure they aren't a part of the YouTube block too?
Hahaha, if its like the WiiU event no one like that will be there, just staff from the company they hired to run the event.

TFW Wii U games are so good you don't even mind buying ports to play on the go

I never even considered that the opposite could be true. But I guess phones have those dumb internal µSD ports, so you never know. edit: also, the port for expansion cards are allegedly on the outside of the Switch, under the kickstand, so there's that
I think people who go download-only do so because they don't *want* to carry around multiple cards to switch around. It's a minor hassle, to be sure, but it's more more accessible and convenient to just have a box that holds everything.
(as for me, I just never really liked how big and clunky optical discs were and was always a fan of the TurboGrafx-16 cards, so being able to fit a Switch in one pocket -- I measured using an Atari Lynx -- and eighty games in the other pocket is tolerable)

Same here, I'm at 117 too with another 20 or so to go. Dreamcast is the only system that I own more games for.
I know that's what they said but I honestly don't believe that. There will be atleast ten hours of linear hoop jumping in this game.
BRocknRolla

Ha! More power to you then!
Day 1: Zelda, day 2: Mario, day 3: Splatoon
Yeah i am skeptical too because how would that work without butchering the story or something else.

It's all going down tomorrow, but it still feels unreal and very far away. I'm numb.
36 hours to go.
36 hours to go.
Just got off the phone with Kimishima. He gave me early insight into the bombs, but since I'm a GAFfer with a magnum dong, it is my duty to deliver the goods:
1) Metroid Federation Switch Force coming at launch - It's the 3DS title at 1080/60 as Nintendo feels it didn't receive the exposure it deserved
2) £300/$300 since Nintendo
3) BotW to be worldwide delayed until Winter 2017, in the mean time you'll get Skyward Sword HD and like it
4) Joy-Con batteries last 40 minutes and the console itself 20 minutes, so pls dock
please enjoy

Yeah I'm skeptical about it too. Surely you'll at least need some item or items acquired in the main dungeons?

People have been floating this idea around and I'm not sure I buy into it. My biggest argument against it is how Nintendo would verify that you own the games on a given SD card.
I'm not saying that it's physically impossible to do so, or that you can't give people a grace period to prove they own a game, but... This is the company that permanently tied digital purchases to your actual system for Wii-U/3DS. I don't expect them to make this dramatic of a shift with Switch.
Unless they just hand you the master sword the moment you enter the bosses area, there will be some linear sequencing involving dungeons.
Doesn't the games logo feature a rusty master sword? So that'll be atleast three dungeons to get the master sword and then two to polish the rust off.

I really don't think i'm dreaming much, wii u lanched 4 and a half years prior with the options being 8gb/32gb I see no reason why quadrupling those after this amount of time would be difficult for Nintendo (while i'm pulling this out my ass a bit i'd imagine they could do 64gb/256gb and it'd still cost them less than the wii u storage)

Well, my son is going with me to preorder his own. It's getting the third that I need to figure out.
Is there really gonna be a 128gb system? Have we got new info on a premium unit
Okami Haundo

I'd agree with you if the market didn't suggest otherwise. Tablets and smartphones charge between $50 to $150 extra for flash memory bumps like that. Obviously that's a decent markup but I don't see Nintendo breaking ground in this field. There's a reason that companies like Samsung and Apple haven't changed the status quo here.

No only one unit most likely

They probably stream some third party stuff. I would expect NBA, Fifa, and Just Dance to all new demoed

Kimishima knows you're a GAFfer, he's lying.
They have to push the home console aspect somehow!
