Reggie: Nintendo will have a big E3 this year.
- Thread starter BY2K
- Start date
Nintendo usually shows games for the upcoming year at E3 right?
It sounds like they are possibly going to give us a longer term look at Switch games coming. If they want to move 16 million consoles in one year it would help to show as much as they can to get people really excited. Can't wait.

Completely new announcements that I'm expecting:
New announcements we'll maybe see:
That's all for the Switch. What we may see for the 3DS:
What we definitely won't see for any platform:
- Smash 5 or Smash 4 Redux (now with Ice Climbers)
- Super Mario Maker Switch
- Mario X Rabbids RPG
- Retro Studios' project
- Virtual Console announcements, including GCN VC and Mother 3 in English
New announcements we'll maybe see:
- Metroid Prime sequel for the Switch
- Pokémon Stars
That's all for the Switch. What we may see for the 3DS:
- A new Kirby game
- A new New Super Mario Bros. game (unlikely)
- Mario & Luigi 6 (should give it a rest, IMO)
What we definitely won't see for any platform:
- A new Kid Icarus game (RIP)
- F-Zero

Right now I'm honestly hoping for some big Switch virtual console news. In an ideal world they would have every Wii U and 3DS VC game day one. Gonna be real annoyed when they announce like 5 games or some shit.
Final Fantasy? Like completely new remakes? Not a chance.

Actually a good point. They were supposed to have Animal Crossing mobile as the next mobile game, (I'm presuming this because they've announced it anyway).
At the same time, under the current strategy for F2P mobile games (launch it to provide interest in an actual mainline entry on Nintendo hardware), they've kinda missed the boat for animal crossing. I wonder if originally the mobile game was supposed to launch near the New Leaf update and packaged rerelease on 3DS?
In any case, that would be a good enough reason to push the Switch version of AC ahead of schedule than it otherwise would be.
That or it'll be a paid app, I guess.
Hoping it's a live conference because they are ALWAYS more memorable
I don't want to see Pokemon Stars, Xenoblade 2, whatever, without some audience interaction.
I mean it probably will be a direct but I'd like a switch up this year.

It kills me that Pikmin 4 was announced as such, though it wouldn't surprise me to see it shifted to Switch given we've neither seen nor heard anything about it since.
New Leaf update was probably to buy time for Animal Crossing Switch, they delayed the smartphone app so that it can be released closer to AC for Switch's release.
The Pikmin sidescroller on 3DS isn't Pikmin 4.

My predictions:
Pre-show announcement:
VC launches with Earthbound Endings (aka
Mother 3)
E3 Show:
Some 3DS games
Super Mario Odyssey (Nov 2017)
Splatoon 2 (June 2017)
Fire Emblem Warriors (Oct 2017)
Pokémon Stars (Nov 2017)
Super Mario x Rabbids RPG (Sept 2017)
Beyond Good and Evil 2 (No date)
Skyrim (August 2017)
Bayonetta 3 (2018)
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch (Early 2018)
2D Metroid by Retro (2018)
And then obviously some casual or low budget games we don't care about

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

I have never once found a crowd's reaction at all interesting. If anything, it adds wasted dead air, and keynote speakers will pause for crowd reaction. Such a waste, especially when the crowd is filled with paid shills like Microsoft does every year.
nah their E3 2014 Digital Event was one of the most memorable E3 presentations from any of the publishers

Hey I just realized it's been a while since the 3DS pikimin announcement.
Hope we see more of it. Looked good.
Outside of probably one game a year Nintendo usually only shows the next 12 months out at E3

Is it really not, though? I remember talking about this before, and it seems that Nintendo may be developing it internally. It very well could be the Pikmin game Nintendo was mentioning before.
Not AAA budget like FFVII, something V/VI with a smaller handheld focused scale

When is e3 again?
I'd rather those be on Switch than 3DS. They would be good system sellers.
Seriously. Nintendo needs to lock up exclusives with Square. Remake or new entries in all of the great SNES RPGs. Chrono, FF, Mana, you name it. Old school 2D JRPGs made by Square in 2017. You can't say no
Typically first week of June, starting on a Tuesday
Not soon enough, but seriously it is June 13th-15th

Meh, I'll believe it when I see it. I'm not holding my breath for Nintendo at E3 this year. Their E3 2014 was honestly the last one I really enjoyed.

In all fairness, we literally don't know anything about the Switch's Virtual Console.
I'm willing to give the Mother 3 localization rumor until this E3. If it's not announced then, then I'll completely forget about it. Same goes for the Mario X Rabbids RPG thing.

Honestly, Animal Crossing and something along the lines of "Switch Sports Resort", would make me very happy.
A Warioware game using the HD rumble and motion, along the lines of an updated Warioware Smooth Moves, would also be great I think. This is what 1-2 Switch should have been.

Is anything that has been shown of this game comparable to a game that would have taken several years to complete? Is Miyamoto that involved in 3DS games (AFAIK, he was the one confirming the development of it, years ago)?
The footage I've seen looks more like a Chipi-Robo Zip Lash engine game, with Pikmin skins.
This, though I don't think Eurogamer ever reported on the Mario x Rabbids thing on their site.
For what it's worth, they were also right about the Guardians of the Galaxy game from Telltale being announced at The Game Awards.

I'd kill for online multiplayer for that Switch game if it happens. I wanna explore the island by foot and interact with people from across the world.
Presumably he meant remakes like FF III or IV for the DS, rather than something like FFVII Remake.
I think Square Enix kind of missed the boat on that, though. A Final Fantasy V and VI remake for the 3DS would've been massively less expensive and time-consuming than remaking them for the Switch.
Likely
Super Mario Odyssey
BoTW Expansion DLC
Fire Emblem Warriors
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Splatoon 2 (if it hasn't released)
Skyrim, NBA, Fifa
Rumoured/Speculation
Rabbids X Mario
Beyond Good and Evil 2
Pokemon Stars
Smash Bros. DX
Retro's game
Super Mario Maker Switch
Pikmin 4
Hopes and Dreams
Metroid
F-Zero
Waverace
Animal Crossing
new IP
I think a portion of the rumoured/speculated list + the likely list will yield some really good results.

Not necessarily, look what they are doing for the mana series on Switch. They'd have to do a little more work for 5 and 6 remakes, but they could be 2d or simple 3d with better resolution than a 3ds game and people would be happy. 3ds level development doesn't have to die just because Switch is more powerful.

After the last two entries, I have a feeling that franchise may not return.
