It was down for like an hour when the Switch was announced. I remember because the Red Dead trailer was coming an hour later and the website wasn't working when the trailer for Red Dead came out.Lol no it won't. The days of GAF taking a shit whenever major announcements happen are in the past. They have made some great progress in regard to accounting for big events. Might get some 404s for a few seconds/minutes (cumulatively,) but the site won't be perma-downed. Guaranteed.

Just under two days until we see the next two Metroid games, right everyone? We're totally going to get another double release like Prime and Fusion, right everyone?

Prediction: The Switch VC is announced in the stream with the long-rumoured Mother 3 translation as the headliner.
I feel like there was too much smoke there for there not to be fire, and it made sense to hold on to that announcement for something important.
So, what megatons are you hoping for? I'm hoping for FF7 Remake 🙏.
Yeah, I'm not going to make bold claims about how GAF never, ever tanks due to big events, but these days any downtime that does occur (and it does still occur) mostly seems random and not tied to heavy traffic.

Thanks, looking good now . Wasn't really nitpicking, just wondered if I missed another update or something, haha.I had to overhauled those information but let me know if I missed something.
12 hours before the event is a little overkill isn't in? What should be discussed in that thread in 12 hours that can't be discussed here? Or is the plan to post it in advance, have a mod lock it and then have it opened again right before the event? I've seen that happen before.Rosti is going to post Switch Presentation OT 12 hours before the event.
When I saw how GAF handled the last E3, I was pretty convinced that things were going to be ok.

Honestly last E3 had me less hyped by a country mile than this Switch event alone.
Also, we know there's going to be Wii U ports out the ass, which is why I'm so happy that I never played Splatoon beyond a couple of rounds at a friend's.
To me, that's a brand new game, brand new experience, and I know it'll be incredible. It's probably a much bigger deal as a launch game for me than to people who've already put 100 hours in, ya know? And it's just good luck as the only reason I didn't buy that game was that my internet was too unreliable for gaming over the past two years.
Can't wait for Splatoon remastered or Spla2n or what have you. And Mario Kart 8 is one of my games of the generation... and there's Breath of the Wild...
How could they possibly fuck this up? This is going to be a home run guys.

Regarding the IR sensor at bottom of right Joy Con, such position prevents Wii style pointer controls? I was hoping to play something like the Metroid Prime games (in Wii VC downloads, or a new entry altogether) with such controls. Even Mario Galaxy--if released in some form on Switch--wouldn't feel as smooth as it did on Wii without pointer controls.
I would bet wiimotes will work.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what Nintendo will call ports to the Switch?
I was thinking about it and thought "Mario Kart 8 Switch'd" or something like that would sound pretty interesting.
I'd bet you they don't. I'm betting there's zero backwards compatibility with controllers.

Wait Mario will have a 3D hub world like 64 or Galaxy, when was that announced?
AGITΩ;228060467 said:Anyone else think Nintendo will go Physical for Zelda of the Switch but go digital only on Wii U? Since they've been clearing up inventory for most retailers on the Wii U side of things, wouldn't it be a waste of cost just to make physical versions of the game on a now dead system?
