Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Gotch, don't' expect Pokémon Stars but we're still good for GTA Switch and Scalebound!!!

@jump Now Sony have today confirmed they have shut down another studio, I am expecting Nintendo to announce the launch of Nintendo Cambridge at the conference with three new games in development at the said studio alongside both GTA Switch and Scalebound

Don't expect them to say too much about Scalebound, though, 'cos they'll probably devote a bit more time to Half-Life 3, seeing as it's going to be a Switch exclusive.

Merry Switchmas!

Can't wait for the streams to break down under the collective weight of thousands of viewers logging in at once to watch them.

LEGO City Undercover: Official Announce Trailer

I'm going bed by 10:30pm (11 at latest...), with alarm for 3:55am for GMT viewing. Don't tell the missus.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Probably not the only new trailer for a previously Wii U exclusive game we'll have by this time tomorrow.

I'm another UKer and my plan is to go to bad at my normal time but then wake up at 6am to watch the video whilst reading all the articles at the same time.

I really, really hope there's free online. It would absolutely kill me if there wasn't. I'd probably still buy a Switch, but I don't think I'd use the online function.

A poignant thought.

In just over 12 hours we will see the last legacy of Satoru Iwata.

Nintendo doesn't really have much of an online presence for people to actively want to pay for it. Yeah if they had a bunch of online multiplayer third party games or games they make themselves it would be understandable. But I doubt people wanna pay to play their paltry selection of online games. It'd be like paying a fee to play Mario Kart, smash, and splatoon online. I think we're safe in that regard. They shouldn't try to adopt the worst parts of their competition while refusing to try the good parts

Please please pikmin 4. Pleaaaaaase

@gcunit Personally I would be setting that at least 15 minutes earlier.I'd want to be fully awake,coffee made with some biscuits.We might get hit by a megaton announcement straight away that will be too much for your just woken up mind to comprehend.

@MarcelRguez yeah of course. It's more of a selfish desire. I'm not expecting many things aside from some wii u ports next to Zelda, and the Mario games. I don't think we'll be left wanting for much though. I suspect the bulk of software announcements will be today and the tree house will be the gameplay with little new information for games. With how much Nintendo is pushing this event to the community, I'm gonna guess they're gonna put most of their surprises in the live event tonight

If Pikmin 4 does get revealed at the event I think next week will have Pikmin 2 on VC for NA. Nintendo will probably want to time remaining VC releases to get people hyped for Switch.

DOOOM!!!

This would mean a lot more if said developers had names attached to them. For all we know they could be Sony and Microsoft first party studios along with a bunch of people who work at EA.

But it's the Internet. We can't have positive Nintendo news right before the conference of a new console can we?

Twitter is getting lit asf with the Switch today.

Ed Boon (creator of Mortal Kombat and Injustice) made a poll asking if anyone was getting a Switch on Day 1. Sounds like he's trying to gouge if a port would be worth it.

The Senran Kagura creator (who has been invited to the event) said he's interested in how people will react to a "certain" feature.

And Katsuhiro Harada (Tekken, Pokken) retweeted a link to the stream. Hint to stay tuned for something related to one or both of those series?

Only a few more hours!
