i think one of the mods argued there wasn't much point of a spoiler free thread since most of everything in the presentation would be a topic on gaming first page when you open gaf.

I think I'm about the 11th in mine. Still going to pre-order online somewhere on Friday anyway, as a back-up.

To add to this, when you have a new IP or even a new fresh take on an old one, there's probably a million ideas that you had to cut from the first release. Galaxy 2 was originally an add on for 1 that got too big to not be a sequel, and it was all stuff that they had to remove from Galaxy 1 (or Galaxy 1 assets or other ideas that were used in a whole new way). Using the same game engine saves a lot of time too because you already know how to use it and what it is capable of.

Yeah if people want no spoilers they should avoid the internet until they watch the stream on YouTube first.
I forgot about Rayman, I could see that as a possibility.

Him biking while drunk has me thinking that he's going to end up with a ticket or in the hospital and somehow miss the stream.
It's highly unlikely that they'll show that in this event

No way we get new Mario, Zelda, AND Splatoon at launch. But could you imagine?

Interestingly enough, reading about Super Mario Galaxy 2 again after my last post made me notice this:
"
In order to help distinguish Super Mario Galaxy 2 from its predecessor, the staff originally wanted the whole game to revolve around the concept of "switching", in which the game's environments would dramatically change under certain conditions. This concept ended up being particularly difficult to implement full-scale, so was relegated to only certain levels."
I'm hoping that we see this finally make it to the new 3d Mario that we will see, but probably not get until November.

Huh, what kind of logic ist that?
The purpose of a spoilerfree thread is that you can bookmark it and jump directly to it avoiding all the news/threads.

The thing with Splatoon is that it was a surprisingly huge hit IP made with I assume a small team. It's a small game. A fantastic game, but a small one. It benefited a lot from its post launch content and was satisfying enough, but structurally and conceptually is neat, tidy, and focused in the way any new IP testing the waters is.
It rapidly transformed into a cult hit, has a distinct identity that's still fresh (pun intended) in the gamer mindshare, and has plenty of wiggle room to grow in a sequel.
Mario Kart and Smash are essential to the Nintendo catalogue, but they're intensely established and don't need an immediate, reactive release. They're the kind of games that can get away with early gen ports before main releases come much later. Splatoon, as a new IP that's still buzzing, benefits most from a direct successor coming sooner rather than later.
This is especially true as a new platform launches and the Wii U market transitions over to the new hardware. Smart marketing would emphasise getting on the Splatoon bandwagon as soon as possible with a big new game on the new hardware instead of letting the fanbase linger for too long on a platform left for dead. Splatoon as a franchise benefits far more from an early major release than Mario Kart and Smash, both of which could launch 2 - 3 years from now and still hit as hard as ever.
Nothing is confirmed, not even the port. Everything is a rumour at this point, even if it's a strong one. There is no strong rumour that the port however will feature substantial quantities of new content.

I remember, before Mario Wii U was announced, I wanted this concept to be used for the Mario Wii U game with respect to the dynamic between the Wii U Gamepad and the TV screen.
Hopefully this concept returns for Mario Switch, and we get a gameplay structure that is completely different to 3D World/Land, Galaxy/Galaxy 2 and 64/Sunshine.

Could you imagine the Ridley fight though.
Mario Kart 8 and Smash have massive content. The gameplay is already refined and not dependent on the Wii U gamepad. A true sequel would take a lot of time and ressources. No way this is happening but expect great additional content for both games.
Splatoon is a new IP and makes perfect use of the Wii U gamepad. The game was developped in a relativly short time (2 years, correct me if I´m wrong). The Switch footage had tons of new stuff.
-> Splatoon 2
Xenoblade is a singlepayer game and probably done by Tantaus, will only be adjusted to Switch.
I don´t think Mario Maker for Switch is real. They just released the 3ds port. A true sequel in 2018++ makes more sense.
Pokemon Stars will be the 3rd version like any other Pokemongame but have better graphics.

Wouldn't that be the same as the Mario Kart for switch which is being called a port? To add to that Nintendo never does annual franchises ever and for their new biggest franchise chances are that the sequel would be given a bigger budget and more dev time. Nintendo's the kind of company that would wait to get it right than get it done. Someone else brought up Mario Galaxy 2 but even that was three years after the first one and its barely been a year since the last DLC.
Yeah, I should've been more clear but the main point was I was being skeptical because everyone around here seemed 100% that stuff was happening, to the point where there's that voting thread on what new stages/characters are gonna be featured. I was mainly just asking to see if there was some potential strong reasoning behind why those rumors would make sense.
The kids and I finally got around to beating Super Metroid (nooo baby Metroid! heh) and the clear screen comes up...
Me: It says, 'see you next mission'
Oldest: Daddy, when is the next mission?
Me: I don't know, son. I just don't know...
Yeah that would be great. Perhaps they can make a better Federation Force.

Super Bomberman R and Ultra Street Fighter 2: The Final Challengers
Just like
the Monster Hunter XX / Generations X port for Switch with the Switch Axe that is a Nintendo Switch and Dark Souls DLC where you can get Solaris armour.
Fusion? I really want a new 2d Metroid x.x

That leak is fake.
I should calm down first before telling others to calm down, haha. I've got so much hype inside...
There's a rumored XCX port that is outsourced, and in addition there's a new Monolith game.

Well I guess you can look at it like this.
We have confirmation of both Mario Kart and Splatoon hitting the Switch.
Rumours from decently reliable sources in the Nintendo scene (namely Emily and LKD) stated that a number of Wii U games would be ported across, some with enhanced content.
Mario Kart is apparently a port with enhanced content, as noted by the new content (eg: character) in the trailer.
Splatoon had new outfits in the trailer, jury out on whether it's a true successor or an enhanced port.
Both sources have indicated that Smash Bros. 4 would also be ported, implying minimal additional content.
Smash 4 is "content complete" for most part, but on a market level we're still waiting for more material, specifically stuff like the Bayonetta amiibo.
If Smash 4 isn't being ported the Bayonetta amiibo is effectively being tied to a last generation system, and a dead one at that.
Thus there is incentive for the Bayonetta amiibo to be marketed alongside a Smash 4 port that includes at minimum all the Wii U DLC.
This 4chan leak sounds honestly very believable. Keep in mind that he only knows about games being playable at the reveal event so this makes a lot of sense.
Why so sure?

Hmm, when I bookmark the youtube channel I get all the spoilers from followup videos and recommendations. Makes no sense.
I hope someone reliable just creates a post in this thread that we can bookmark and he will edit with the youtube link once its up.

Anybody can go to 4chan and say they're working at the event. It's unsubstantiated. I mean Ultra Street Fighter 2? Come on now.

Has-Been Heroes was trademarked though.

Wi-fi?
Thank you. Needless to say, it's a safe bet that all of these titles are simply ports and not new installments.
4chan is basically the most used site to leak stuff nowadays because we regularly have pretty big leaks/rumours pop up there that turn out true. What is right or wrong is hard to tell but more often than not leaks that occur on 4chan that I think look rather believable are actually real.

Could the "port that became a sequel" actually be Mario Maker?
The original rumors was MM was being ported but they were having trouble figuring out how to convert Wii U levels over to work with the Switch version. Could they have just made it a full fledged sequel instead?
