I think some people really need to calm down. This is an event for the Switch's launch, expect just the launch games and maybe... maybe launch window. Nothing else.
Don't expect anything we haven't already heard about.

Armored Core?

Is not that From only do souls like games, anyway I don't think would be a good fit. After Prime series, I doubt someone other than Retro can do again something at that level.

If I'm not mistaken, he is currently unavailable.

My favorite things about Metroid are its creepy alien feel and its sense if exploration, two things FROM excells at. Add in a higher than historical difficulty, and the sense of survival and isolation will only be enhanced.
The gameplay could go a million different directions, but man, I'm just enthralled by the possibilities.

Animal Gear Crossing: Revengeance!
Just a bit of 3D Mario hopes:
If there's anything I want in the new 3D Mario above all else it would be a return to the musical style of Galaxy. Mario 3D World's music was amazing but it lacked the bombast and veracity of Galaxy's soundtrack and, like the entire game, just made things feel "lesser" in comparison. Zelda seems to be moving to a more subdued, melancholy style of music so it would be a perfect fit if songs like Gusty Garden Galaxy and Buoy Base Galaxy. Mario is Nintendo's biggest franchise, it really does deserve Nintendo's biggest soundtrack.

Good luck with that mate. I whole heartedly agree, but there's a subset of crazies that is so hyped right now.
I hope to see the AAA meltdowns after the event. Please don't disappoint me GAF.

So many salty tears and cries of "I'm skipping the Switch" from people who probably didn't plan on getting on anyway.

The real problem is when you look around and realize others aren't laughing. Corporate loyalty... People take it deadly serious for whatever reason.
Overreactions from across the board are certainly assured.
Tell me about it. I'm tired of mainstream "most wished Nintendo comebacks". Metroid, F-Zero. No one is actually wants them back even though they say otherwise. I bet people will buy a new F-Zero but hardly play it.
Ask stuff that actually matter, people. Advance Wars, Kid Icarus, Golden Sun, Warioland, Eternal Darkness, Ouendan...

I think it had to do with them literally FILLING the thread with like hundreds of folks asking to be added and posting updated pics and the like, so essentially; spam.
Is that the remnant of the Deku Tree?

I'm keeping my expectations thoroughly in check. But I'm still hyped as fuck. Mainly cos I've never bought a Nintendo console I didn't love and enjoy.

Could do without all that bloom and fog look, hope it isn't common though
Wow!
Was thinking more like poka poka airou village.
I know this is said every time but they really need to get some better compression tools or something. It looks amazing though, I can't wait to see some actual direct-feed Zelda screenshots & gameplay in the coming days.

If they only announce Nintendoland 2 and Zelda as launch games with vauge messaging (see Wii-U reveal), then Gaf will be finished
Shovel Knight coming to Switch! But it seems not to be crossbuy...

Is Zelda using the Xenoblade X engine?

Apples to oranges, imo. Or I guess, sweeping orchestral scores to big band swing. Both are pretty equally amazing in their own right.
I can see your point though. A more grand, "epic" style of Mario game would be very fun to have again. I love love love 3DW and actually want to see another like it sometime, but I do long for the return of a more "adventure-oriented" Mario game.

A new Ouendan would be great. Too bad iNiS is stuck in Ubisoft's dungeon making gems like this.

That's Facebook and Nintendo's strange decision to only post these images there... I'm sure the real thing looks lovely.
Could also be like Cookies & Cream

It's facebook. Nothing Nintendo can do about that really.
Reminds me of that isle where

Why would you expect it to be?
Yeah it shows a scale and design you don't see in open world games on the other systems.

No, Nintendo made a whole new physics engine for BOTW. You can still see by the Zelda jank that its still using that wind waker engine or whatever though.
Monolithsoft is helping with the game so some environmental/texture design philosophies you can see bleeding through.

Regarding people guessing $40 for individual joycons, I can see where they're coming from--it's the price wiimotes went for, so there's a precedent for what the sort-of-half-controller goes for. Personally I don't think the standard joycons will be sold individually, at least outside of Nintendo's online store.
It will probably be an edition with both expansions, so that makes sense
Yeah I think it'll be $40 for two Joycon and $60 for them and the Joycon Grip.
Definitely; 3D World's soundtrack was bloody brilliant but as that was the only 3D Mario we got on the Wii U, and it wasn't a 'true' 3D Mario it just hampered my overall feelings towards the game somewhat. I think Nintendo should just scrap the "New" series and replace it with games like 3D World that aren't as big as the big main 3D Marios but still hold a lot of charm whilst offering a more linear experience.
Shovel Switch coming to Knight !
