I can't wait another month! Luckily, Odyssey might just keep me distracted from the hype until launch.

@LegendOfPokemon Everyone was too caught up fantasizing about the obviously-fake "Pokemon Stars" leak, so because this game isn't Stars, the law of the internet says everything about it must be bad.

@sillygostly A Switch port would be impossible right now. For starters, they only just started working on the gen 8 games for Switch, which will take another two years minimum. They have to have been working on Ultra Sun and Moon since before they could start developing for Switch, seeing how complete they were in the initial announcement less than a year ago. If a Switch port were to happen, the entire engine, the interface, the features, and the gimmicks would have to be COMPLETELY reworked in order to make it work on Switch, even moreso than previous games. They've been using a dual-screen handheld for a decade now, so making the main-series jump to a home console for the first time ever is gonna take even more work. That's why they always wait until the next generation to start on a new console. You're calling it the worst main series Pokemon game ever just because your Stars fantasy didn't work out? At least have some more common sense.

If I'm not really into farming simulators, would I still like this game? I like games like Animal Crossing and Minecraft, but the farming part just doesn't appeal much to me. Still, it seems like there's a lot more to this game so I'm kind of curious.

This and the Superstar Saga remake in a single day just made my week.

Minecraft Story Mode was way more fun than I expected it to be. I hope they bring season 2 to Switch ASAP.

@audiobrainiac Season 2 came out in April and ended in June. Season 3 releases in spring 2018.

There must be some law in the space time continuum that causes third party developers to either develop Nintendo's share last or give it less features.

TBH, I don't really like the headlines format. It just throws so much at you all at once, and they really have to rush each segment to cram all the info in, so a lot of it just goes over your head. Plus, I miss Reggie and Bill's antics. Nintendo seems to be a lot quieter lately; less transparent and more corporate. They just kind of announce a title once, post some stuff on Twitter, and stay quiet until it releases. No personality or skits or anything to spice it up... Of course, that's not to say the games they showed off weren't amazing!

Nintendo is infamous for having short supply, but this is one of the occasions which they have no control over. The parts for it are in short supply everywhere, not just at Nintendo, so it's good they aren't making promises.

@Fuz It's still enjoyable if you don't play Minecraft, but you'll get a lot more enjoyment out of its world and mechanics if you do.

@Link41 The original digital version still doesn't have every episode. I paid for five of the episodes and if I wanted the rest on Wii U I'd have to pay for a new copy of game again.

@Fuz A lot of the appeal here comes from the mechanics of the Minecraft universe, so if you don't like Minecraft you should probably pass.

@ShadJV Seems a little out there for a Mario game. Are they gonna have little mushroom people or something? Maybe they'll have some kind of mushroom power-up... but what could it possibly do?

@dizzy_boy In the official FAQ it says you will still be able to share them and you just won't be able to comment on them.

They promised the SNES Classic would turn out better than the NES Classic. Is this their definition of better?

@Kalmaro It's good fun but kinda light on content right now. Maybe wait until it has more content updates released and get Pokken first if you want it more.

I wonder how many girls this developer keeps in his basement. On second thought, they'd probably all be body pillows instead.

@ShadJV There's no way you are a mere mortal! What sorcery is this?

@speedracer216 If you think that's bad, you should live in Texas. the tiny spiders here are nothing compared to our hand-sized roaches. My dad has an infestation of them at his house and is so cheap he refuses to call a better exterminator or just move away. The worst part is that THEY CAN FLY.

Now make all the spoofed Pokemon turn into Pidgeys to rub salt in the wound.

Nintendo: The Clunkier, the Better.

The Switch game is likely for gen 8. False rumors like this can sometimes accidentally reach retailers.

@leo13 And Nintendo would also lose a ton of money. They flat-out clarified it in the presentation; they called the Switch a "home console you can bring on the go." Later on in the Treehouse stream, Reggie said they have no plans to abandon the 3DS because it's a huge part of their market with over 66 million units sold, and it is lighter and more portable than the Switch. They will very likely continue to release handhelds able to play smaller games in short bursts, while the Switch is for larger home console games with added portability.

Sounds like it'll be gen 8 if they just started development on it. Despite the long wait, I'm excited to see how it's optimized for Switch!

AndInTheMeantimeWeStillNeedSinnohRemakes

Urbosa and Mipha are gonna sell out.

Mipha Amiibo and Pimp Bowser Amiibo releasing this year? This is the best year ever for me.

I've got all my money saved for Arms, Splatoon 2, and Minecraft Story Mode already. Bring it on, Nintendo.

@dew12333 So you'd rather have people travel halfway around the world to get a Farfetch'd?

Yeah, this is totally less complicated than all those other "bulky headsets." Why put voice chat right on the system when you can force people to keep their phone next to it at all times?

Very smart! If you can't wipe them out all together, just try to totally discourage them from hunting.

Wouldn't buy this since I've never watched the Adventure Time, but this kinda makes me want a Steven Universe mash-up.

@crimsontadpoles According to the official fighter descriptions, Ribbon Girl is only 17

Every time I see Super Mario Odyssey artwork I sit and think about the fact that somebody was given the task of making Mario have individual pores and facial hairs.

@Ebefren It's a game that can literally be whatever you want it to be. It's not for everyone, but it has tons of potential for those with a creative flair. Some people spend years building giant kingdoms and stuff.

@gatorboi352 Nintendo claims it's better so you don't need "big and bulky headsets or microphones." Whatever you say, Reggie...

Nintendo: Two steps forward, one step sideways.

@JHDK To me it's more of a platform than a game because the game is whatever you want it to be. Have fun!

@Spoony_Tech A world transfer option is confirmed, but it won't be out at launch.

How does anyone figure this out, especially with that level of precision?!

Looks nice, but like the last Zelda lego set submitted to them, it seems a bit too complex.

@BezBot Yes, but that app won't be out until the fall from what we've heard.

But how will voice chat work if the app isn't released? Will you have to buy those Zelda earbuds with a mic?

@gatorboi352 3DS is great but it doesn't run full console games on the go. The main appeal of the Switch for me is that it runs giant games like Mario Kart 8 and Breath of the Wild anywhere. I still think the 3DS is better for playing in small bursts like Animal Crossing.

Framerate, Shmamerate, if it's portable, I'm buying it.

@PlywoodStick I'm worse than the illuminati; I'm Bill Cipher. Would you like me to shuffle the functions of all the holes on your face?

Sure, those load times are still annoying, but now that it's on Switch, I'd say it's somewhat of a worthy sacrifice for a portable version. As long as it's 100% portable, I'm picking it up.

@RadioHedgeFund 9 more seasons... 97 more years until I get my hands on that Bayonetta amiibo sauce!

Sure, the Switch is portable, but its games are tailored to the home console side of things. It's not a console meant to be used in short bursts, but instead for long plane/car trips and big parties for local multiplayer. The 3DS is still the primary handheld console due to its ability to be played in short bursts for just minutes at a time, yet still give the same amount of enjoyment. The 3DS is still the king of handhelds, no doubt about it.

I actually like using the portal better since it instantly saves all your data to the figures every second of the way. However, I think I'll get the Switch version just so I can level them up when I'm not at home. Then I can save the data when I get back and use them in both versions of the game.

See? All those tantrums people threw over the delays don't matter in the end. It just goes to show: "A delayed game is eventually good. A rushed game is bad forever." Miyamoto's long-standing quote is now more true than ever.
