There's a rumor going around Nintendo will release new info 2 weeks before release, Disgaea 5 Complete will get a release date next week also, and LA Noire, Metroid and Assassins Creed will be shown at e3.
Interesting rumor, one I definitely want to believe, but I don't wanna get my hopes up for Metroid. The LA Noire port does fall in line with Take Two being a development partner for Switch. I could definitely see that happening, and it wouldn't have any issues running. And Assassins Creed was leaked on the retailer listing, not to mention Metroid is long overdue, and with Nintendo really focusing on the west with Switch, they'll surely want to bring a solid Metroid to the table.
Definitely plausible.

If Metroid is coming, I can't imagine them not saving that announcement for E3. Maybe E3 would be covered if they just showed off Pokemon Stars and a new Animal Crossing or something, though.
I personally think they'll use E3 to blow us away with Odyssey and maybe tease animal crossing for Switch.
Metroid would be incredible but I feel it will be way to early in the consoles life for a reveal, even a teaser,
However, it does beg the question, what the fudge have Retro been up to since 2013 ish?....
All this talk about Zelda vs The Witcher III. All I can say is if Zelda surpasses The Witcher then I'll be in 7th heaven, as The Witcher III is my game of the decade. I was really sad to see it end, having completed it 100%. I even loved the mini-card game Gwent, and was eager to get every singe card. I really loved the open world, watching it fade into blackness as the night came and then watching the sun come up; simply breathtaking and colourful, unlike most games. I loved all the quests and side quests and some of the dialogue was really laugh out loud stuff because it was genuinely funny.
The only issue I had with the Witcher were the number of bugs when it was first released - some of the quests and side-quests couldn't be completed. They (CDPR) fixed every single one in the end though.
If Zelda gets anywhere near half of what The Witcher III got right, then we are all in for a MASSIVE treat and a wonderful gaming experience.
@G0dlike If there is a Metroid game in development, it isn't Retro Studios. Our best guess is that they're working on a new IP. Another rumour said that a Metroid game is in the works, but that the team behind it isn't the team we expect it to be.
Keep in mind that a big chunk of the staff that worked on Prime is gone. They're mostly a DK team now. And if you're interested, the old folks that left Retro set up their own studio and developed Recore for Xbox One last year.

I just remembered that the people behind my favorite game of all time's most recent game was published by Comcept for the Xbox One.
Just out of interest Amazon UK have started listing import switch games with no extra delivery cost to prime users. They're listing Disgaea 5 Complete which I don't believe has been confirmed for the UK.
Peeps, you gotta stop doing this counting down the days thing, its making me anxious. My pre-order is with a retailer I'm well aware can't be relied upon for Day 1 delivery. That didn't bother me when I ordered cos I got a good price and spread the cost over 12 months, but now the counting down has started its making me want a Day 1 delivery before breakfast!
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
Pokken seems to be returning to the Pokemon World Championships this year and so there's now speculation of a Switch port coming before the event especially as the Wii U version is very behind the arcade version in terms of balancing, characters, etc.
Pretty basic question, but what are the charging options for the console other than the dock? I'm going to mainly have the console in my bedroom, but the dock in the living room with the TV. However, I don't want to take it to that room every time I want to charge it, and ideally, I'd like to play it portably while charging (in bed, or while the TV's in use).
The smartphone stuff is probably the thing I'm least excited about with the Switch. In fact, probably the only thing I'm kind of scared about. First, I have a Windows Phone (lol yes, I know, but I do love it), and I doubt they are going to support Windows Phones. Some people don't even have smartphones. Not a lot, but some.
But I really, REALLY hope they just allow you to plug in/sync up a headset directly through the console, especially on TV mode. I plan on mostly using the Switch docked, so having to pipe the online stuff through my phone at the same time seems more like a chore than a convenience.
Fingers crossed that this has occurred to Nintendo. To me, it seems pretty common sense, but I don't know. The other thing that occurs to me is how little I'll probably dabble in the lobbies and voice chat stuff, anyway. Splatoon 2 comes to mind, of course, but even something like Mario Kart I don't think I would want to play with voice chat.
I could be sour on online communication right now, though. Just finished an incredibly toxic Heroes of the Storm game that served to remind me why I can't wait to immerse myself in Breath of the Wild by MYSELF lol
