I'm not expecting Monoliths new game to be shown. Which means if it is shown, it will be a genuine surprise for me

she is the only one trusted, I mean even the Geno stuff had a Xenoblade X port
I send a lot of time watching you tubers talk about Switch so they all have been using LKD as a source anyway hard to tell if there were other sources
I just hope we get a nice trailer for the new game next week even a teaser would keep me happy
Worked great for the PS4 so far.

Nintendo said they will show games in development for the system so I expect 70 titles to be shown on Thursday.
His side story was awesome, HE IS AWESOME.
I love both series about as much as EC. However the Shared DNA between both Xenoblade Chronicles and the Origional ME Trillogy as well as XCX and ME:A are undeniable.
Brief comparisons between XCX and ME:A below. Minor spoilers for the opening of both games
Both games start with a fleet of ships leaving an Earth facing iminent destruction
Both games have something go wrong with the landing/Arival and have the player character have to track down suvivors in Arc/lifeholds
Both games are about exploring and building a new life in a new galaxy/planet.
Both games have the player character who has access to every part of the skill tree and acts as a balancing force within the player party.

There are more simularities but i kept it deliberately general and spoiler light

You could say Nintendo did this already when they showed Bayo 2 and XCX. They just didn't have "enough" to play while waiting.
I do think it's better to not show everything at once. Maybe one or two surprises.

I will be totally let down if they don't even tease at it
January 12 needs to be all guns blazing if they want to make the Switch a hit, none of this let's not show Pokemon Stars shit. Show Us your wares.

All I care now is about Retro's game.
Some of you leakers who I despise tell me whether it will be there next week or not.

Maybe EC wants to romance a Nopon or something they don't go far enough for his liking,
AND NOOOO DON'T POST THOSE GUYS FROM THAT PARK!!! I try to run of fly away from them
My mistake, I'm not worthy.
Think about it...would Nintendo rather tease Monolith Soft's new game in the upcoming Switch presentation...or E3 2017...or sometime in 2018?
Given their options, the ideal time would be to reveal it next week where hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of excited fans will catch a glimpse of Monolith Soft's new project. This type of reveal format suits an RPG like Xenoblade the most...it would allow the game to build hype over a long period of time. It's certainly better than getting drowned out by the hype of AAA game announcements at E3 2017. And the following year would simply be too late for its supposed 2018 release.

They better.
I wonder if all trailers will start like this.
You like how all 3DS and Wii U trailers started.

Dream Scenario for Thursday's presentation:
Rockstar games is announced as Switch Partner
Rockstar games announces GTA VI for Switch, and they show a teaser trailer

I took a nap and dreamt that Melee HD was announced.
Damn my subconscious, why must you torment with what will never ever exist?

It depends on how much is really in the lineup from launch until June. I doubt we'll see very much of games beyond a 2017 launch. E3 is only three months out from the system launching so they probably shouldn't blow everything out now. A little glimpse is fine with a promise of more at E3. Prominently showing games that are a year or two out is problematic though.

So apparently Nico Nico's time table says the Presentation is 1 hour long.
But as we know, Nico Nico's time tables are never accurate for this type of things (I remember the Digital Event 2014 Nico Nico said it was gonna be 30 minutes but it actually was 45 minutes.) I think Nico Nico's time tables only works by half hours.
So if anything, it means the Presentation will be LONGER than one hour.

The thought of getting news every other month for the one and only Nintendo device is amazing. It sounds too good to be true to me.

An hour and a half is my guess.

I've been saying since the beginning it will be more than an hour. There is way too much info we don't know. This is our first live introduction to Nintendo brand new future console. I don't know why some people keep telling me it would be less than an hour.
They have lots and lots to go over, especially games. I wouldn't be surprised if it's closer to 2 hours than 1 hour.
Also, we've waited to damn long without AAA Nintendo games and Wii U has been dead forever. We are owed a long presentation with lots of games and details, details, details.
All I know is that games that are worth a damn are going to take time and sources claiming that Monolith is working on a new game arent saying much.
Last Xeno game was revealed in a random January Direct so I'm personally not going to assume anything.
And if the hardware has a lot of support (which it should) then there shouldnt be such a big need for Nintendo to announce games extremely early to reassure consumers or do some of the other things we saw them do to compensate for the position they were in the last few years.

Only if Bully 1 switch remaster sells 2 million+ copies.
Hey, that game is awesome. Maybe it just wasn't for you, man.
Phantasy Star Online 2 would be a nice surprise. The new Valkyrie Chronicles game would be welcome as well. But we'll probably just get the new Sonic game and an assortment of Virtual Console games.

I hope that, for the Wii U ports that switch might get, they include the option to import the save data from Wii U to Switch.

Hopefully Super Monkey Ball, which was absent on Wii U for whatever reason...
I also hope we get their JRPG line-up like Valkyria Revolution (not buying John Hardin's "claim" that it's not happening), and also hopefully Phantasy Star Online (I think a more offline-friendly version of Phantasy Star Online 2 would actually see the light of day outside Japan), and eventually 7th Dragon 4.
I'm still hurt that Neverland's Shining Force Gear for Wii was canned (it was confirmed to exist), if Neverland was still around, they could've revived that on Switch.
Even then, we'll have the day long Treehouse Stream to look forward too and impressions from people playing. An hour long Presentation could be better, but not terrible.

They need to keep something for E3, I bet we don't see atleast a couple of holiday games.
JoshuaJSlone

Ehh. They wanted to essentially do this as far back as Ocarina of Time with what we eventually got as Master Quest.
Switch isn't similar enough to run Wii U stuff natively, and not enough of a leap in power for emulation to be feasible.

The more I think about all the possibilities, the more I feel the Switch's library will end up being staggeringly awesome. I can't help but drool.

Also, there's another Sega game that deserves a follow-up on Switch and I'm so sad it never happened on Wii or Wii U:

So my manager at work was finally cool with me taking off the 13th, so I'll drop my daughter off at school at 8:45 then wait for Gamestop to open at 10 while possibly watching the treehouse live stream beforehand.

To be fair, the initial Switch reveal did make it appear as if Zelda would run worse in handheld mode since there were fewer frames
