Topic: All-Encompassing E3 2018 Thread

Or that Smash Bros is the game they are starting with before moving on to another game

As said before, Mario Odyssey last year was just the trailer before getting into the details at the Treehouse. This will more than likely be the same here.

A gameplay trailer is a lot compared to the rest of the Switch's line up. Everything past this summer has only a CG teaser or a nonspecific title.

Segments of about 2-3 minutes where most of it focuses on the trailers would be good. If a game really deserves the time, I'd say four - but Smash Bros. only needs two at most.

Reddit discussion for a leak suggesting that Fallout 3 Anniversary edition will be announced at E3.

If it comes to Switch that would be insanely awesome

It's kind of weird, Nintendo's confirmed 2018 lineup feels a lot like 2014 (main highlights including DKC Tropical Freeze, Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 1+2, Captain Toad Treasure Tracker and Smash) but all the pre-E3 rumours suggest Nintendo's E3 is going to be more like 2015. For example Star Fox Grand Prix and Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee being the new Metroid Prime Federation Force and Animal Crossing amiibo Festival respectively.

@Grumblevolcano wow that's a crazy coincidence

Edit: not being sarcastic lol, I can see how it could be read that way 😁

Yeah the last two comparisons are a bit reaching considering we don’t know like anything on the state of the last two games

Geez people are being so down on these rumors. I figured a Retro-made racer and Pokemon game that brings us back to the originals would be seen as a good thing. It is for me, at least. Especially considering we had a relatively recent Star Fox game, love it or hate it. Not really comparable.

@Grumblevolcano I feel like after the initial surge of people sounding hurt, the general feeling I've been seeing about Star Fox Grand Prix being a thing has actually started to swing back positive. It's a good deal more like last year's Mario and Rabbids than the sadly never to be redeemed though quite fun Federation Force. Of course, that all depends on how the reveal goes...

With Pokemon it's all down to how much Pokemon GO infects these new games.

Hopefully, Game Freak learns from Nintendo's 2017 that aiming to cater to the long-term fans in smart ways (Good: Mushroom Kingdom in Odyssey and all the more subtle call-backs. Bad: blatant pandering like Gens 6 and 7) works out extremely well. BotW went back to the Zelda 1 formula except supercharged it to the modern day, and Odyssey went back to the 64 formula and made all the right tweaks. And both of those games have been selling very well, being the best or fastest selling games in their series.

That said, a part of that most likely just has to do with the Switch being the next cool thing. Look at Splatoon 2, after all, and that still outsold Splatoon 1. Ah well.

@Grumblevolcano the Switch games will be pokemon go simulators where you could swear you were really walking around outside trying to catch pokemon by force feeding them berries and throwing balls as hard as you can until they give up and become part of your collection.

approximately 23 days left

So Skull and Bones got delayed to April 2019 or later. Not surprising in the slightest.

@IceClimbers 2019-2020. That doesn't sound like they're confident in a 2019 release either. I hope it's for the better and the game comes with an (offline) single player mode when it releases.

I like that Ubisoft is trying different things, but I'm not a fan of Ubisoft's always-online service games.

I'm just hoping for Fallout or Diablo III for the Switch.

Completely forgot about that game. I always thought it only existed to ride the hype of Sea Of Thieves, which vanished quickly after it turned out to be underwhelming
