When was the last time hardware was revealed at E3 anyways? The Switch wasn't, the New 3DS wasn't. The NES Classic wasn't. The SNES Classic wasn't. I'm pretty sure the last time it was was when the Wii U came out. I highly doubt the Switch revision would debut at E3 at this point, or any classic system.

I don’t know, if a person is misleading by saying something will happen when they know it won’t, I’d generally consider it a lie, besides I wasn’t even talking about it in this specific case or with the investors meeting stuff. I was just pointing out that Nintendo does this all the time with things so it is hard to take them seriously. We can discuss semantics but it was not meant to be taken as a specific comment

@link3710 Wii U in 2011, only Microsoft seems to believe E3 is the place for hardware announcements nowadays.

With companies its best to take what they say at face value. Especially when their track record is being blunt. There hasnt been any hidden meanings or ambiguity in their marketing. What they say is what you get.

And I like it that way. Makes a change from how it used to be.

Im expecting at least two games to be delayed at E3 though and Daemon x Machina is probably one of them...

Nintendo holds their cards close to their chest. And usually when they say stuff they mean exactly what they said, nothing more, nothing less. People have a horrible tendency to assume things.
And I don't think I have ever seen a lie from them. They do however quite often say they have nothing to announce, which definitely isn't lying, but is exactly that.

Nintendo has always been pretty straight forward. If you take what is said at face value and don't make assumptions you won't be disappointed. The issue is people expect a company to reveal everything just because they ask and they try to "read between the lines" where there is nothing hidden. I've never understood the tendency to not take things literally or people that don't speak in literal terms (say what you mean, mean what you say. otherwise why speak? a bark could convey your message just as well if you expect someone to infer your meaning.) but ok. Either way, looking forward to E3.

A couple days ago THQ Nordic finalized the purchase of German developer Piranha Bytes. I suppose we can look forward the Switch release of the Gothic seres, the Risen series, and ELEX somewhere in the future? THQ Nordic has been teasing some announcements for E3. TimeSplitters: Future Perfect coming to Switch sounds like a lock.

@Therad especially expect that to continue after publically announcing that MP4 is rebooted from scratch.

Cannot wait for this game. The roster is pretty big at this point, much bigger than the previous games.

^my summer is so ruined. This is why I am on a gaming restriction until July. I'll never pass my certs otherwise.

Some of the designs are interesting though. Did Beast revert back and I missed it? Otherwise he looks weird. (by weird I mean not his second mutation design which last I checked is still current.)

I kinda get the feeling we might see a repeat of last year's E3 Direct, and no I don't mean another 20 minute segment talking about miniscule changes like they did with Smash.

Last year they gave Hollow Knight and Killer Queen Black their own segments while bigger third party titles - DB FighterZ in particular - were barely a passing mention in a sizzle reel. A lot of people complained about that.

I can see that happening again with Cadence of Hyrule getting its own segment while the likes of Wolfenstein Youngblood and Doom Eternal get tossed into a sizzle reel with a bunch of ports of older titles.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

@IceClimbers - Speaking of more E3 stuffs, now that Dauntless is live on PS4 and Xbone I wonder how much longer we'll have to wait for the Switch port? E3 seems like a prime opportunity to build some hype.

Hey guys,

Thanks heaps for your input

I don't expect Nintendo to announce any hardware at E3. It's the time between now, and just after they could announce something on their own platforms.

However they're still getting good sales numbers on current hardware so there's certainly no rush for them to push anything out.

@IceClimbers Jeez, those are some good additions. Surprised and pleased at Psylocke's inclusion over Jean Grey or Emma Frost (I mean I'd have loved all three but if I had to choose). Hopefully, Juggernaut is playable too. Still, with them casually dropping another 9(?) characters in a trailer on Twitter, I'm hoping we've got even more on the way. There are some deep cuts I'd really like to make it in, plus we're still missing some major players (I could see the next trailer focusing on Fantastic Four members, the core 4 + She-Hulk, Scott Lang, and possibly Franklin or Valeria)

I thought that was Nightcrawler, not Beast.

Wait, I see Beast at the end. It’s too far away and quick to tell for me though. Just looks like Beast

@JaxonH you can see Beast during the sentinel lock on and Wolverine tackling him to safety. Totally old school design. Not the current version or the feline version. I’m not complaining just hoping for skins.

In a fantasy world the copyright holders would be awesome and release a collection with the whole franchise (including xmen legends...which I prefer)
