Nintendo Switch Presentation - January 12th
- Thread starter robotrock
- Start date
we're both invited Neoxon
This is how I feel. The holidays will go by super quick.
Also, I like seeing the abbreviation "NS" being posted around. It really isn't much different than "NX" anyways.

One of the reasons they're announcing it this early is due to it being a three day event, not simply a video presentation.
GAF has gotten very resilient. Any downtime will likely be minor, if it exists at all. Folks don't give enough credit to how good GAF has gotten at dealing with giant spikes.

What the flying fuck is this thing, holy shit lol. Looks like something outta Star Trek.
Weird, I don't see a giant Bullet Bill coming out of the sky headed toward this thing.

They don't have to work on Metroid. Anyways I expected they were working on a new IP. That's good let Retro do something new. I can't wait to see it!

Update for pokebank is January. That can only mean sun and moon announcement for the switch!
I bet the Nintendo Switch Experience is going to be similar to the Japanese 3ds preview event they held in the fall after the 3ds was announced at E3. It was I think 1 or 2 days of 3ds demos open to the public with live music performances and stage interviews. It was a highly successful event that hyped up the 3ds before it's sad launch.

You know what would make the time go by faster? Playing some videogames.

Our girl Emily Rogers claims that Retro isn't working on Metroid, or "Fucking Donkey Kong" for that matter.
Granted, she isn't always 100% correct (see the Female Link thing) but it's still something to consider.
Thank fucking god if this is true.

I like NS, it's pretty cool. It's ONE letter away from "NES." Nintendo Entertainment Switch!
Anyway January will be here very soon. The holidays as you said always go by quickly as... well, it's the holidays. My favorite time of the year... which always just flees me. And I have the PS4 Pro, Black Friday, getting a 4K TV, and a bunch of other stuff to bide the time.
The only reason I have been impatient about "NX" is because I've just been waiting to find out what it is, what the name is, what it looks like, etc. The reveal video was enough for me to go on until next year. I got what I wanted to see and I'm fine with waiting a bit to get more details.
I also believe January 12 will be when pre-orders go live.

She's redeemed herself pretty hard with the NX announcement though. She stuck to her guns and that shit was announced on a Wednesday night.
Hopefully that means Mother 3 is there at launch for the US Switch

If they show a actually fully realized a mario game in the veins of Super Mario 64 I will die of happiness. That 6 sec tease doesn't count.
Also Dark Souls on a portable will be a nail in the coffin for me....

Nice. It's good to have a date to look forward to.
Switch doesn't come out until march so you won't even be able to play it either! RIP
Good."Typical"has led them to historically low sales. Time to make some big changes.
The Switch is, after all, said to be a "reboot" for Nintendo. I think we might see them finding a way to integrate the spirit of their approach to a more rapidly-evolving, modern market in a lot of ways with the Switch. What hasn't changed is that Nintendo does best when cornered.
Imma assume people are doing that already.

Who needs E3 to promote a major platform before launch?
Not Nintendo. Not anymore.
All of these NX/Switch details are happening outside of E3 influence, including the launch of the platform itself. By the time it gets to E3, it will likely have been in stores for months already.
Not that E3 is completely irrelevant, but its relevance continues to decline-- and this is great example of it.

I'm really curious about that, actually. I wonder if it was real and Nintendo was planning on releasing it for the Wii U eshop, but then they figured that no one cares about the Wii U anymore and just delayed it for the Switch's launch.

January 2013 was when Nintendo announced they were bringing back Earthbound to VC, yes? Could it be.....?!

Fuck its so far away. I need to plan my schedule and they literally won't allow me too. FFS.
After Pokemon Moon no more buys until NS. Please let it be $250.
Also rip preorders. I shouldn't expect to get this until April anywayz. I can't remember if GS would put up preorders immediatly or after the direct have an announcement of when they put up preorders. Please not the same day and give a heads up.
I guess my dream of 100% handhend comes at a price: Nintendo completely having me guess spending anymore momey lol. (And driving me insane.)
Yeah, I guess better than constant begging of a date from everyone.

They really must have a lot of games to show if this thing is going to go on for 3 days.
The other 2 days sound like a public event, the main stuff only at the conference.
