@FragRed Can't watch that video. Too much waffle and random footage (e.g. 10 seconds of Koizumi when the VO is unrelated!) in the opening 90 seconds.
Seems like people are trying to fill out their videos with waffle in an attempt to increase their total time watched. Doesn't work if it makes us quit out though.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
@NaviAndMii They did say Fire Emblem was still coming this year less than a month ago at the financial report for Q3. That was the same time they reiterated Pokemon's release date as 2018 or beyond. Given that they still seem to be internally unsure of Pokemon's release date, I expect them not to make up their minds and reveal it until Late April into May. At which point, Nintendo might be able to convince GameFreak to reveal it at E3... So until E3 passes, I wouldn't be convinced either way on that title.
So should we expect whatever Retro is working on to release this year, or is it looking more like a 2019 title?
Anyways, last year Nintendo released their big holiday game in October and left November open to third party titles like Skyrim. Gut feeling says they don't do that this year.
Also think they'll double up on one of the months with NES Remix Pack
@IceClimbers You mean Retro didn't spend 4 years creating Labo? I sure hope we see what Retro has been working on all this time. The longer we wait, the bigger the hype and the bigger the hype, the harder it will be for them to fulfil people's hopes and expectations.

@OorWullie I feel it too soon for another Mario game. The team only just completed Mario Odyssey last year, so I feel it needs to be at least two years before the next game in the franchise comes out.

Off the top of my head I'm pretty sure there was a main-series Mario game every year from 2009 to 2013, so I don't think it would be unreasonable for them to release a new 2D game this year.

Ah yeah, I thought so! I totally agree with you about Pokemon as well - it's difficult to make a case for it being anything more than a 50/50 chance for a 2018 release at this stage...I've got my fingers crossed, of course - but the information we have so far is too patchy to make any concrete predictions really

The biggest problem is that they are releasing a bunch of 2d platformers this year. It is better to spread them out a bit.
@Therad Yeah, I've been hoping for NSMBU/NSLBU Switch ports (or even a new 2D Mario) ever since I got the console - but with Kirby, Yoshi and DK:TF all coming to the Switch this year, I just wonder whether Nintendo may consider that they've got the '2D platformer' base well and truly covered for 2018...again, I'd love to be proven wrong (huge fan!) - but I'm not hedging my bets at this stage
