Yea baby in 2 1/2 months we will see Metroid Prime 4

Except back in Team Ninja hands!

 

[Guardian Monkey]

I'm guessing this will be preorder date as well. Expect orders to go up right after announcement

77 days

 

[HawthorneKitty]

reveal will take place at Tokyo Big Site on 13th January
https://topics.nintendo.co.jp/c/art...cial&utm_content=20161027&utm_campaign=topics

So, 12th evening for NA, 12th/13th midnight for EU assuming the event is in JST morning.
also, on 14th & 15th there'll be demo booth for public there

That looks like the Comiket place.

 

[Ray Down]

Press conference, taking place in the Tokyo Big Sight.

13 show is a conference for journalists and bussiness men, 14 and 15 Nintendo is having something called the "2017 Nintendo Switch Experience"

This is a more open event.

Sounds like Public days for people to try it out. That and maybe tree house like streams for Switch games.

 

[The Giant]

Fuck yeah!!!

Since it's on the 13 in Australia and a friday and most likely gonna be on during my work hrs. Time to chuck a sickie for the reveal.

 

[sinonobu]

That looks like the Comiket place.

It is

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Holy Carb, that's not the Nintendo I know.

This sounds like SpaceWorld 2017. Awesome.

 

[OnionPowder]

Nice, far away but they let us know ahead of time at least.

 

[ciD_Vain]

What the flying fuck is this thing, holy shit lol. Looks like something outta Star Trek.

It's like a crazy upside down triforce thing. A Link Between Worlds and Breath of The Wild connection confirmed.

 

[dancmc]

Happy birthday to me!!!!

 

[CrazedProfessional]

Switch Con :O

space world?

 

[Torokil]

So far away...

 

[Doctre81]

What the flying fuck is this thing, holy shit lol. Looks like something outta Star Trek.

So the nintendo switch event is taking place in an upside down triforce? Gotcha

 

[Emperor Bohe]

I want Nintendo to succeed

 

[sinonobu]

So pumped for this... Hopefully we can get new metroid...

 

[kuroneko0509]

That looks like the Comiket place.

yes it is

 

[Big Chungus]

my credit card is ready

 

[DecoReturns]

My totally realistic expectations are new Fire Emblem, FF VII Remake and Metroid Prime 4.

 

[Wandering Robot]

I'll just keep this announcement and date at the back of my mind until January, so that I don't go mad waiting (like some of you juuuust might). No point in really getting hype this far out.

Man, I just realized that by the 12th I'll no longer be NA. I really hope it's not crazy late for EU, my wife would not be amped on me flipping out on the couch cramming popcorn at 3am.

 

[DeuceGamer]

And they told them they'd ship Zelda in 2016. Things change.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.



Some of you are very naive about how business works. A delay is entirely possible, so steel yourself for the possibility.

They have a date for all of the details including demo units apparently. Obviously anything can happen but there is literally zero reason to think a delay is going to occur right now.

 

[jwillenn]

I guess Christmas isn't December 25th this time!

 

[Neoxon]

And they announced this on the day that I started my job, too.

Bring it on, Nintendo.

 

[Village]

What the flying fuck is this thing, holy shit lol. Looks like something outta Star Trek.

I've seen this building in illustrated background form so many times

 

[bomblord1]

Earliest direct announcement ever?

 

[mikeyvids]

Thank you Nintendo for announcing this rather than me wasting hours watching analysis videos deciphering running time and "hints" from your other PR to predict a presentation date.

 

[sir_bumble_bee]

This sounds like SpaceWorld 2017. Awesome.

they really should just call it that lol

 

[RavageDark]

I can get jiggy with this! /MichaelBlaxsonReference

This is a big deal, this isn't your typical Nintendo unveiling guys. Nintendo knows it has something good and it's going all in to show it off, this is a good sign boys and girls!

 

[TheDinoman]

they really should just call it that lol

Especially since it takes place in something that looks like it came from outer space.

 

[MomoQca]

YAS. This is the perfect late birthday present. Who's with me?

 

[KingBroly]

Earliest direct announcement ever?

This isn't a Direct


And they should call it SWITCH World

 

[Benzychenz]

So being just before the launch they'll likely show their entire 2017 release schedule right? It'd be stupid of them to hold back their holiday title for E3.... right?

I want to be blown away, BotW, 3D Mario, Pikmin 4, Animal Crossing, Retro's project (pls Metroid), Xenoblade 3, Bayonetta 3, Monster Hunter 5, Dragon Quest XI, Mario Kart/Splatoon/Smash Bros ports and more.

 

[jmizzal]

Hopefully we get some launch titles announced.

It says "Games in development" which means launch titles plus more games coming down the line, this gonna be good

 

[Neoxon]

Is this a press conference? The wording of the press release sounds like it is.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

Good to have a date.

 

[MomoQca]

It says "Games in development" which means launch titles plus more games coming down the line, this gonna be good

Xenoblade 3 confirmed?! AW YIS!

 

[DecoReturns]

You guys ready for Project Giant Robot?

 

[Debirudog]

Kimishima also announced that Nintendo Switch sampling events for invited media, partners, and consumers will take place in the U.S. and Europe after the presentation at later dates. There will be opportunities for the public to participate in other hands-on events around the same time, details of which will be announced later.

Well they better make it happen quick. Prolong the hype with the media.

 

[random25]

Is this a press conference? The wording of the press release sounds like it is.

It is. Press people are invited on the event, and it is live.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I'm flying to Japan!

 

[kuroneko0509]

Man, I just realized that by the 12th I'll no longer be NA. I really hope it's not crazy late for EU, my wife would not be amped on me flipping out on the couch cramming popcorn at 3am.

assuming they start @ 9 am JST, it should be 12 am in UK, 1 am CET

 

[AquaWateria]

What the fuck happened to Old Nintendo?

 

[Speely]

I'll just keep this announcement and date at the back of my mind until January, so that I don't go mad waiting (like some of you juuuust might). No point in really getting hype this far out.

Ima get real crazy, and fuck the world if it can't deal with me. Letting the hype ferment so that when I pop the cork on the presentation I will be able to appreciate every nuance.

 

[TheDinoman]

What the fuck happened to Old Nintendo?

What do you mean?

 

[JSevere]

woo! these two months are gonna go by so slowly

show me the games

 

[FearlessBelgian]

Coming with NS trailer for speak about it 3 months later... Nice marketing Nintendo ! And off course they miss the holidays period ! Hahahahaha...

Why they dont hype the NS in november/december ? Why they want to speak about it in 2017 ? ... God ...

 

[OricWindstar]

I'm also so happy they got the main concept of it out of the way before this. More time to focus on games.
