Didn't see anything else posted on this, but there appears to be Nintendo Switch presentation advertisements at Japanese Railway lines.
Judging by the dates, I'm assuming these are the 2 days afterwards that will be open to the general public?

Nice.
Anything new on Metroid? 😇
Lmao it's literally the hype train! 🚆
You're the reason the Vita failed.

We will get such a flood of info and impressions from all the people who play it

Yes, they're promoting the days after the presentation, when the console will be available to the public for hands-on. Good to see they're promoting the event even in more casual places, like Japanese Railway lines.
I'm on board and I don't even live in Japan.

Vita only failed because it didn't have Waluigi.

Fair enough, but yeah of those only Zelda, to some extent 3D mario and maybe whatever the new IP/Retro game end up being are of interest me. Others just aren't my bag, or are things I'll play on PC or PS4. Just sad place to be as a long time Nintendo fan struggling to build any enthusiasm for Switch.
Anywho, I'll bow out of Nintendo threads until after the 12th.
Can't wait to get some hands-on impressions regarding the comfort and feel of the system including:
- Joycons by themselves (either using Wiimote/Nunchuck style or using a single one NES style)
- When attached to the grip (visually it seems kinda blocky and square)
- How the "D-Pad" feels
- How seamless it is to dock/undock the system

It would exceed my expectations if Rayman makes it. I was only expecting veterans (and foolishly hoping for Snake).

I can almost smell that sweet sweet Rayman amiibo.

I don't understand the meaning or purpose behind the picture? If it's spoiler, then feel free to PM me.

I think it's meant to be a "You know nothing, John Snow" type of image but it doesn't do a good job at reflecting that.

It looks like it's generally available in digital format on the first wednesday/thursday of the month. So... tomorrow at the earliest. I'm wondering if I should re-up my Powerup Rewards membership to read this...

Thanks. I forget the line right there so now it made sense. Appreciate that!

I'm not too sold on Rayman in Smash yet, despite Ubisoft's relationship with Nintendo.
The thing is, third party characters have typically been special deals and they can be boiled down into two categories:
1. The iconic and legendary worldwide/international icons of the industry (Sonic, Pac-Man, Ryu, Mega Man, Cloud, Snake)
2. Popular cult-favorite characters (Bayonetta, Sakurai wanted to include Geno in Brawl/Smash 4)
Rayman is moderately well known in the west but he's completely obscure in Japan; only few of his games were released there and none of them sold particularly well. On the other hand, I don't think he's really that popular or requested by fans in the same way Bayonetta was. I personally don't think he really has a place in Smash as a playable character, and honestly the only reason a lot of people here are considering him is because of Ubisoft's relationship with Nintendo and the Rabbids RPG thing.
Our boy John Harker has said that apparently Ubisoft tried to get Rayman into Smash, but Sakurai said no. I guess he could change his mind, but I don't see it.

Most of the info is usually compiled. Not sure if there's a way to see the pictures and spreads without a sub

My thoughts on leaks are that they mostly sound believable but there are a few iffy ones.
Splatoon is clearly a sequel from the footage and not an enchanced port.
Pokemon Stars stand out so bad when GF moved away from third version and tends to keep generations in same system. I really think we'll get Sun/Moon 2 and/or Red/Blue 2 next year on 3DS instead.
Theres no way Mario Maker port/2 comes out next year simce it'll release so closely to the 3DS version. It counts and spacing them out also counts. 2018 imo.
lol at everyone pulling Ever Oasis and Mario Superstars ports out've their asses. These won't leave 3DS i can be sure of.
I'm pretty sure Pikmin 4 referred to the 3DS game. I hope I'm wrong since more Pikmin is great but I really don't see it.
Since its Sakurai I only see him doing a sequel's worth of new characters in Smash 5. (Which I call the "Smash 4 port" since its a sequel if it has new characters.) so the 2 new only characters is laughable.
All other rumors sound believable enough but I'll just wait for official confirmation before believing any of them at this point. Too many things above just sound off to me.

So I get the physical magazine in the mail but can't find where to change to digital.
I don't understand why people keep saying that. The 3DS Pikmin game is obviously a spin-off, it has nothing to do with the mainline games.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you're locked into either physical or digital for the full year. No way to change formats until you're up for renewal again. Edit: KingSnake comes in with the correct information. Ignore me.
I'm not sure either. According to Miyamoto, Pikmin 4 has been "almost done" for quite some time now. If he was referring to the 3DS title this whole time, why would they wait over a year from when he said that?

are we expecting news from GI?
Same reason as Mother 3 : they weren't gonna release a fresh game on the dead system that the Wii U was.
Were you logged in?
Then I don't know. I just noticed that button while searching for release dates for the magazine because it had a red background and it was saying "Switch".
I hope it will, but I'll be cautious.

I think you mis-read my post. My point was that if "Pikmin 4" were just the 2D 3DS game, I think it would have been released long ago based on those quotes from Miyamoto. I agree that Pikmin 4 (the mainline game) was probably planned for Wii-U and got moved to Switch.
