Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@jump OH okay.... I see! How about the fourth week of May? In two weeks I’ll devise my predictions. You have a point though, new leaks could change my predictions...

Shame @BruceCM, you seem to have a good grasp on... the bigger picture in general. Being real and holding out, and such. Who knows, maybe this year we’ll manage to get you to give us your predictions!

Love me some E3 speculation. That aside, you know me, my pessimism for E3 is set to maximum.

Are you hoping for some Bayo 3, MP 4, BotW 2, Switch Pro stuff during Nintendo's E3 presentation?

Mario Golf Super Rush demo shadow drop, check.
Pokemon D & P confirmed for a November release, check.

And there you go. Are you thoroughly hyped for E3 now? I know I am.

@BruceCM You'd make a great politician with making great predications after they things have happened. You just need a slogan and platform. How about "Let's Make Pokemon Great Again"?

@TheJGG I was just talking about myself but we could have an E3 prediction thread so a winner can be declared after E3? It will just need someone to sort out the rules.

@Giancarlothomaz I really don't care if you post vids honestly. Everyone else seems to care though so maybe tone it down a tad is all.

@TheJGG we are One Month from E3. It is HYPE month

So predictions is all the people want!!!

@Slowdive And you literally wont even bet on Metroid, coward! ;p

They're going to announce for Switch Persona 5 Royal, Dragon Quest 4-10 (4-9 being the DS/3DS versions retooled for 1 screen), Rare Replay, King of Fighters XV, a Fire Emblem game, ARMS 2, a Minecraft game, FFVII Remake, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Samus for Fortnite at Nintendo E3 2021 to take full advantage of Smash as a promo tool.

@Magician I'd be surprised if there isn't a Mario Golf info blowout in May though it is surprising Nintendo haven't shared any more info on DC Super Hero Girls and that launches in less than a month.

There as been rumors for a new 2D DK game for a year and a half now, alongside a Captain Toad 2, Fire emblem remake and 2D Metroid.

@Duboiss are you refering to this rumor?i hope this rumored DK game Nintendo EPD tokyo is developing is 2D, i despise 3D Donkey Kong game.

OK, u can have that slogan, @jump... I'm not good enough at lying to be a politician, though Oh, sorry, its called alternative facts & spin

Let's see, Ill do an early prediction now I suppose and see if anything changes in two weeks.

Open with Smash DLC 2.4 - That grass ape pokemon from gen VIII
Capcom Corner; Monster Hunter Rise DLC
Monster Hunter Stories
MegaMan Battle Network Collection
New Resident Evil - not Revelations 3 (October 2021)
EA BS Game I don't care about 1
PS2 Port... Probably Bully
Vagrant Story port
EA BS Game I don't care about 2
EA BS Game I don't care about 3
Konami surprising us all once again with the fact that they actually make games
Kirby Spin-off (August 2021)
A Netflix game
A couple cloud games, probably Cyberpunk and Borderlands 3
No No Kuni 2
Panzer Dragoon Zwei Remake
Pokemon DP Reminder
Sonic Adventures Collection
The fast clip show segment
XCX Port (September 2021) that leads into
New game from MonolithSoft (2022)
Smash DLC 2.5 - Chocobo

Pretty sure we'll see Ni No Kuni 2 announced, and Sonic Colors Remastered. Maybe Life Is Strange. Beyond that I have no idea.

Obviously we'll get info on already announced games. Like MH Stories 2. Could get Resident Evil Switch reveal but I suspect it's too close to Village, and they'll do a fall announcement like MH Rise got.

Probably get a DK game announced, but whether it's 2D or 3D, who can say. 2D would be more likely, but the Country series already exists and it would have to forge a new identity if not under that banner.

Let's see some quality 3rd party ports of classics. Like Mass Effect Trilogy from EA, Orange Box from Valve (Portal, Portal 2, Half Life 2, etc), Batman Arkham Collection from WB, stuff like that.

Unless that's bringing Dragon Age or something else like that to Switch, @link3710.... Not sure what else EA might be involved in but I'll get any of their stuff like that on pc

@BruceCM I can wager some actual guesses... Let's see... We'll probably see the Battlefield Mobile game, Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare, and FIFA 22. Other options are Rocket Arena or Madden 22 Mobile

Huh, those are entirely possible, @link3710.... But then I won't be bothered about what they're doing for Switch, so it won't matter to me

@Slowdive The Valve games on console tease I was thinking would be stuff like Half-Life Alyx for PSVR2.

@Slowdive the first 3D mainline Kirby game for the 30th anniversary of the Kirby in 2022? @JaxonH i think the temporary exclusive Resident Evil for Switch Capcom/Nintendo is gonna reveal in the tradicional septembre Nintendo or at TGA 2021 for a early 2022 release, releasing in pratically every console in the market(PS4/PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Switch)

If Valve brings anything to Switch, please let it be The Orange Box.

That would be something I'd cherish, even if it was a digital-only release.

The Orange Box would be I think the only time I will have bought 3 physical copies of the same game if it comes to Switch.

Though it was weirdly cheap when I bought in on 360 like a year after it came out (wasn't even a used copy), so it would also be weird to pay full price for it again after so long.

Oh yeah, I'd totally be down for The Orange Box on Switch as well. I've never been much of a PC gamer, but it was one of the few PC games I own(i have the hard copy). I even have the "bad" PS3 version.

But yeah, having these Valve titles on a Nintendo system for the first time would be awesome. Especially Team Fortress 2 getting a fresh audience.
