Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I wonder why they chose the Splatoon theme first and then come with a "special" section for Kirby? Why not just Kirby and when Splatoon 3 is arround then Splatoon?
The more the better of course. Just wondering.

@Budda IT'S A SIGN I SWEAR. S3 DIRECT THIS MONTH THIS IS 1000% TRUTH YOU CAN'T DENY IT.

I'm not complaning though. I love Splatoon 2 so being able to have more icons for a game I love is good in my book (the Octarian's stance kills me).

@Budda I think there'll be a shadow dropped trailer for Splatoon 3 in April (like there was the January Kirby trailer) and then a big spotlight in a May general Direct (E3 is cancelled so Nintendo doesn't have to do a general Direct in June), followed by a Splatoon 3 Direct in July.

I won't lie, the single player content is going to make or break my interest in Splatoon 3.

@Grumblevolcano
I think too that some kind of new news/trailer must be around. I just found out that the japanese Splatoon 3 website went online yesterday.

@Grumblevolcano i wonder what Nintendo is gonna focus on the summer Nintendo Direct? a Nintendo Direct in may in place of the tradicional E3 Direct?

@Giancarlothomaz As much as I would like that to happen, the last time a perfect opportunity like that struck was 2020, the year infamous for the dreaded Direct drought between September 2019 and February 2021. Granted, Directs are thankfully back and better than ever (depending on your outlook) so it could still happen but I'm not holding my breath on this one.

@Magician Despite loving the first game, I couldn’t get into the second. Think I was expecting more to a sequel than what was offered at launch.

@Giancarlothomaz I'm praying it's some time in July as from mid-May to late June I have exams. But there's more chance of a new F-Zero game coming out this year than that happening.

@chapu2006 i think a summer Direct that replace the E3 Direct is more likely to happen in early june.

@Fizza 2020 was a weird year. Covid completely derailed time tables industry-wide, so I'm not surprised Nintendo wasn't jumping at the opportunity to do a big show that year.

Given the preload mistake, I think Advance Wars will release in May.

you sure do like making random guesses based on actually nothing

like even if you were to use this weird mistake to guess on its release, why would that mean they then just wait one month, no more no less?

@kkslider5552000 Given it's got a physical release, immediate release for everyone seems very unlikely and late April has Switch Sports. Meanwhile May's completely empty and June's insanely packed. If any later I'd imagine the mistake had no effect on release timing.

@Grumblevolcano damn, I had hoped you had inside info that the Russian-Ukraine war was ending and that was the reason you thought it was coming out in May.

@jump Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp will not release until the russian invasion on unkranie is over.

Hmm, well, they'll have to let us know soon if that's the case ..... Seems highly unlikely to me but I'd be happy for that to happen! @D

could the hybrid concept of Switch be the future for Nintendo? and check out Nintendo Switch Sports preview

Switch Sports looking good.

Not that I needed any previews or even reviews. You know exactly what you're getting. Wii Sports in HD without the awful Mii characters.

I just want to play Bowling and Golf. But the Chambara, Soccer and Badmitton also looks fun.

IGNs review there thinks it's good .... Just don't throw your joy-con at your TV!
