Ready to watch this just to see how many douches spam "#BringBackTheNationalDex" in the live chat.

Assuming live chat won't be disabled.

"We are pouring our hearts into these games"
Looks at game: Worse graphics than Let's Go!, limited Galar Dex, no way of transferring Pokemon out of Pokemon Home if they aren't in Galar

Still gonna get the game because I'm not competitive and don't care about my team but honestly Game Freak

(If I can't use Meloetta I'm done tho)

@Timsworld2 Region lock has been a thing for, like... ever.
It wasn't new with 3DS or Wii U at all.

@NEStalgia He joined Nintendo directly, not Retro Studios. Besides, according to him his role is kinda like an ambassador between Kyoto and Redmond. I doubt he'll have any kind of major role with Metroid Prime 4.

Nintendo got their April Fools' prank done two months late.

@Anti-Matter It was always highly likely Animal Crossing Switch would be at E3 this year. As will any other game they have confirmed for this year, more than likely.
They HAVE kind of pushed SMM2, Pokemon Sw/Sh, MP4, and FE:TH to the wayside in terms of spotlight for E3, so it does make me wonder what they'll be focusing on out of their current line up... and what they'll reveal.

This is the only Assassin's Creed game I've ever really progressed in at all (I've gotten Black Flag and Unity on PC for free during Ubisoft's anniversary/Notre Dame promos). I might play the Wii U version again after hearing the Switch version is bad. Heck, I might play Black Flag soon again. I hear a lot of people say it's one of the better ones.

@Grumblevolcano E3 is within the next three weeks lol

@BANJO Agreed. The Switch definitely has a head start before Generation 9 kicks into full gear. That being said, in terms of the Gen 9 squad, the Switch has essentially been considered Gen 8 due to the lack of competition on part of Xbox and PlayStation as of late, though Sony's doing the PS5 fairly soon so that may change.

If there's another game style, I'd see it as Odyssey like Der said, rather than Galaxy like many say.
While Galaxy mode would introduce a heckton of new platforming mechanics, Odyssey has arguably more content and introducible mechanics that could be brought in. The most galaxy really has is gravity.

I'm still sitting here wondering why they wouldn't put GameCube games on Virtual Console for the Wii or Wii U.

THAT DARK SAMUS

@BeanoWild Not 100% sure. I enjoy new Animal Crossings a lot, but to be honest it's nothing that people need to go insane about. Animal Crossing games always have a stark majority of similarities between each other that honestly makes it to where you've already played 80% of the new game by just playing the old ones.

@Audiogore0733 If you're referring to Metroid Prime 4, you would theoretically be correct. But given the information we have, most importantly the fact that Metroid Prime 4 restarted development only 6 months prior to E3, it's likely that little mention, if any at all, will be given to it, let alone a look at it.

@Audiogore0733 Metroid Prime 4 is highly unlikely to be at E3 this year beyond a small mention. As for Mario Maker being the focus of tomorrow's direct... I doubt there will be any other games showcased. Nintendo tends to keep these game-specific directs very, well, game-specific. The Arms Direct in 2017 that had some Splatoon 2 info near the end was the one time I even remember them revealing some info for another game in a Direct meant specifically for another game.

Your clones are very impressive. You must be very proud.

@Linoshi Animal Crossing is more than likely being saved for E3.

@Gravitron Counter-arguments: Pikmin 3, Twilight Princess and Wind Waker HD, Wonderful 101.

nnngh terrible sleeping mechanics I'm scalping away my copy of Odyssey now

Nintendo had some shovelware leftover that they forgot to put on the Wii U.

This is our filler before the E3 Direct.
Still gonna watch it, though, cause it's still worth it.

@tendonerd Yes, because Reggie was definitely active at Nintendo at a time which it was public knowledge that ProJared was a predator.

It's more than likely not Rayman, but now I can't unsee it.

"A rushed game is bad forever, but a delayed game is eventually good." - Approximation of that one quote from Miyamoto

Doesn't apply here. This is Bubsy. I can't recall a single Bubsy game that was successful or good.

Edit: Apparently the original Genesis game and its sequel were actually good. Knit my yarn and call me a bobcat.

@BlueKnight07 They still tend to announce games releasing after the year of at E3 as well still. Case in point: Metroid Prime 4, Kirby Star Allies, Yoshi's Crafted World, Breath of the Wild, Twilight Princess, and more.

hopes for Pikmin 4 despite knowing that i'll likely be disappointed

@Chibi_Manny You misuse the definition of asexual. Asexual is not having an attraction or romantic association to any gender.
I don't know the gender-related term to it. But asexual is attraction.
Also, it's been confirmed for like... the entirety of the time Kirby has existed that he's... a he. Just saying.
Sure, in Japan, he's genderless. That's cool, I don't care though. In the States, where I live, he's male, and that's what I am basing this on.

This week in Japan forgets Kirby is male.

Angry Mario shall forever be in our hearts.

I've been looking forward to this.

Okay, so the same people who tend to know nothing about video games... are the ones giving this reviews as if it wasn't a movie based on a video game.

OH HECK I JUST TRIPPED OVER

Douche TanNipple

I cannot stress enough that this is not okay.
Who greenlit this final draft?
We could've had an actually good Sonic movie - we literally just would've needed to have Sonic team animate it.
What the heck, guys.

Everyone disliked this.

Reminds me of Nintendo banning people from online services for their 3DSes even if they only wanted to screen record them.

For those of you who saw my article on the news article about this feature's announcement - I told you so. Doing in in third person was a terrible choice, and doing it with the joycons attached to the headset was even worse.

I expect updates on most, if not all of the games already announced to be releasing 2019 (Animal Crossing is the heavy hitter, but Luigi's Mansion 3, Link's Awakening, Pokemon Sword/Shield, Fire Emblem: The Three Houses). New game reveals are a given - Nintendo hasn't had a single E3, as far as I know, without at least two reveals. At least one new reveal will likely be 2019 release, though I'm not sure on what such a title would be. Information on long-awaited titles such as Bayonetta 3 and Pikmin 4 would be very welcome. I find information on Metroid Prime 4 to be unlikely, seeing development was only restarted on it half a year before E3. New Switch Online and Smash Ultimate update info are almost a given.

Also people who said Switch Mini was gonna be revealed at E3, eat your hearts out

grumble grumble Sinnoh remakes...

Haha, what a funny joke.
Wait a minute. Is that... squints
Oh, it's a crowd of my fans, greeting me with flaming... rods of wood... and giant forks...
Oh no it's an angry mob.
Chuckles.
I'm not sorry.

Remember when Fortnite was supposed to be a survival tower defense game?
Good, neither do the people who make the game.

The Xbox One is the next console to surpass.
In all likelihood, the Switch will at the very least catch up to Xbone sales with its current rate, and I'd dare say it'll pass Xbone sales up.

Looking forward to the reactions of Xbone fanboys.

@chardir That'd be the GCN.

Heh.
Angry forehead child is older than mature DJ octo.

I'm actually surprised how many people are saying they haven't heard of Smashketball in here.

Still better than the PS4, where I still have to wait hours for one download to finish, and can only do one at any given time.

Ladies and gentlemen... the earliest article I could find on this website.

Pre-ordered Revali restock on Best Buy. The only Zelda-themed Amiibos I have yet to collect are Sheik from Smash 4, Young Link from SSBU, Toon Link/Zelda from Zelda series, and Twilight Princess/Skyward Sword/Majora's Mask Links from Zelda Series

@Jingo_Unchained I doubt TT Games had access to the plot, seeing as LEGO TFA didn't release until half a year after the film. At the same time, the LEGO Company itself clearly does have access due to the fact there are sets based on the film.

First of all: Before Ken released people were frantic to get it because it seemed like it'd have a limited release. Now that it's out I feel like people cannot stop finding them in stores or online.

Second of all: and here we are still not being able to buy half of the amiibos that released prior to 2019 below $50
