Seems kinda weird you said that as skyrim is shown the first time the switch is revealed.
and also shown on japanese conference as well.
and I also think skyrim will sell on this thing, some people want skyrim on the go

It's the same Producer but different teams. Completely different teams.
In the US I imagine ?
Even then, when you consider how faster the localisation was with X compared to Xenoblade, Xenoblade 2 can easily come at worst, in the first half of 2018.
But a close to worldwide release is also not impossible at all after the first episode "success".
Nintendo might beginning to treat every first party the same way.
Woah there pardner, don't go throwing around intel you can't back up now.

From the ultra-reliable source of a fresh junior account with new proof.
Wow, now I'm intrigued.

That would be sensible. Having a "massive" Switch title and a mobile title with cross compatibility would work well in modernizing Animal Crossing and giving it that next "big leap" beyond what we saw in New Leaf.

If you have insider knowledge, then feel free to share. If you want to post your opinion, that is also fine and welcome.

It wouldn't be insider knowledge.
missed opportunity for "big leaf"
Let's go with "my opinion" =) Don't be surprised if Smash bros has a lot more third party content due to collaborations with other companies.
It's becoming apparent that Smash Bros (and Mario Kart to some extent) are becoming a vehicle to popularise certain brands and let's not forget Amiibo.
Ubisofts Rabbid game? I'll leave that to you to figure out.

Don't worry. I was never going to be surprised to see Smash at E3. It always had a very good chance of being there.
March 2018 is my bet.. 3-4 months after the mobile game that will launch early december. They often launch a big title there to give a last boost on their fiscal year. Xenoblade 2 in february 2018 also wouldn't surprise me. And Smash as their may 2018 game, which will simply be called Smash Bros Switch and is an iteration over the Wii U version. Not a complete game, but an updated version just interesting enough to double dip. Might include a special singe player/co-op mode again.
That would make sure they keep selling hardware in the first half of 2018 with some big sellers.

Well, you already came out with the information so what characters do you would know that are in?
And what gameplay gimmick?

That's an interesting point actually. FE Warriors will likely be published by Nintendo in the west but it seems like the Rabbids game is Ubisoft publishing. So that would be two non-first party published games (in some regions) for two months around the fall. I'm betting we'll see another couple first party titles announced for then.
If they really want to hammer down the Switch having a steady flow of quality software there needs to be a few more games in those months. Smash so soon after ARMS doesn't make all that much sense. I guess Pikmin on top of Pokemon Stars could work.
He's lying obviously lol
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
Oh well. At this point, I'm sure he wouldn't be back to back his fake leak. I just want him to be specific with his information because he posted his rumor in vague way so he can say, "haha I got it right."
I know he's full of it but it's likely we would see Smash at E3.
If it was a sequel, even early next year would be pushing it unless they used Smash 4 as a base.
I would say they still need one or both of these:
- A strong multiplayer title
- A casual game - 3D mario is not enough, all the other speculated games are way too core focused
Pokemon Stars could be that game, for both, although casuals don't often use the multiplayer functionality afaik.
If we go by Shikamaru Ninja's first party thread we can see which teams might be able to release something:
Bolded = the ones who might show something "new" (not announced) this E3
(I am aware that some of the EPD teams are flexible and aren't totally locked like other studios are.)
EPD1: Mario Kart Deluxe / ARMS
EPD2: Splatoon 2 / Animal Crossing Switch
EPD3: Zelda BOTW DLC / New smaller Zelda title
EPD4: this is interesting, as their last game was Mario Maker. They are often the 2D mario or pikmin team... I can see them having something this E3 (they didn't do mario maker 3DS btw)
EPD5: Helped with Starfox and Tank Trooper. Certainly on a new project. Manager of this team is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadashi_Sugiyama
EPD6: Miitopia & 1-2 Switch - currently surely working on a casual title, but maybe too soon? Unless it's the Miitopia team led by Yuichiro Ito (brain training)
EPD7: I expect a new rhythm Tengoku from them. Could be this year as their last game was early 2016 and it are smaller titles
EPD Tokyo1: Hard to tell, did the louvre project for DS, might be on to something but I don't expect a big game surprise. Probably helping with Mario
EPD Tokyo2: Mario odyssey. I expect 2 player co-op announcement at E3. Maybe even online co-op. Pure speculation ofcourse, but the switch is made for 2 player games.
NST: No announced projects. Last was Mario Maker 3DS port - maybe Mario Maker Switch port? Or another game/port?
ND Cube Mario party team.. Mario Party switch?
Monolith Soft: Xenoblade 2.. That should keep them occupied.
Retro studio: Ofcourse, but I think 2018 is a safer bet for release.
HAL: 2 kirby 3DS games
IS: Fire Emblem, Fire Emblem, Fire Emblem (and maybe wario ware?)
Camelot: just did mario superstars, so unless they port it, I can't see them releasing anything soon
Game Freak: Let's assume Pokemon Stars
Grezzo: Ever Oasis
Next Level games: Luigi's Mansion? Last game was the fan favorite Federation Force
Tantalus Media: They are rumoured to port another Nintendo game to Switch..
And then there are a lot of smaller unknowns who were usually making eshop titles or 3DS games, but aren't known for their big console releases:
Creatures: ???
Alpha Dream: ???
Arzest: ???
Chunsoft: ???
Genius Sonority: ??
Good-Feel: ??
Grounding: ??
Indies Zero: ??
Jamworks: ??
Jupiter: ??
Probe: ??
Skip: ??
Syn Sophia: ??
Valhalla Games: ??
Vanpool: ??
Vintei: ??
Other 3rd party collab teams include Namco Bandai (Smash) and Platinum (Bayo 3
), Koei Tecmo (Fire Emblem Warriors) and Ubisoft Paris (Mario & Rabbids kingdom Battle)Updated!

^ HAL is making two Kirby games for 3DS.
I just realize that the RabbidxMario game killed a Mario party game for 2017, kind of.

Not at all.
The game will use Smash 4 as it's base - there is no need to re do the engine.It already runs at 1080p/60fps.
However, the networking back end is being completely recoded.
I already hinted at characters that will make an appearance, hence the collab with Ubisoft.
AFAIK, the existing dlc characters will be making a return but i do not believe Ice climbers or the Pokemon trainer will be making a comback.

I wanted to say this from the other topic.
It's great to see Nintendo keep doing third party collaborations and one thing I've asked Nintendo over and over is to do third party collaborations with big western companies. They always do them with Japanese companies, but not so much with western developers. I hope Mario + Rabbids means there are other big western third party devs working on Nintendo games like Metroid (which I believe).

I was liking the sound of these (most likely fake) rumors until hearing this...

I completely forgot that we had rumors about a Smash port for this year. I would absolutely love to see that release in the early fall. If we get really get Zelda, Mario, Splatoon 2, Smash, MK8D and Pokemon in year one of the Switch then I'll be goddamn. I won't have any time for my other consoles...

Thanks for the detailed post, that definitely gives us a good picture of what to expect.
TannerDemoz

Why not, there's no 3DS to hold the console version back.
An Animal Crossing MMO would be interesting
A DX version of Smash 4 then... Just as everyone expects.
MK8 DX also has new networking code, since it now supports both LAN play and Switch vs Switch play.

Wasnt there a rumored New 3DS version coming along with the updated version?
This really concerned me

e3 2013 "insider leak" all over again.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
You all realize he was joking, right? His post was almost the exact format as the Smash Bros one.
Oh, that's why he said fruit.
No way there's already going to be a new Smash game ready, no WAY. And there's no way Nintendo wouldn't just re-use the Wii U game for the Switch the same way they did with Kart. I wouldn't be surprised if it had more new stuff (characters, stages, etc.) - but there's absolutely no way they're doing a new Smash and it's ready for anytime within the next two years even.
If they are making a new Smash, I don't expect to see it until 2019. Sakurai doesn't rush that shit, and he kills himself over these games.

Nintendo makes some questionable decisions at times. I wouldn't be shocked if Ice Climbers don't return, despite there being no reason for why they can't
Did you hear it from your uncle at Nintendo?
Dark Cloud
Member
I didn't quote the guy who talked about fruit with AC lol.
AFAIK, Sakurai is the only person who actually decides these things.
TwistedFreeze

Well I kind of see Sakurai as part of Nintendo, even if he's technically independent, and, even then, I'd say some choices in Smash are kind of questionable, such as the huge amount of FE characters, Smash Tour, Ganondorf being a Captain Falcon clone, etc
Well they really shouldnt. The e3 direct one hour we have per year, it will be painful to see minutes of it being spend talking about ARMS... again.
it will be another Pikmin 3 situation, in which we had to listen about Pikmin 3 for 1 year of directs
(i hope they reveal a new Animal Crossing too
With less repeated text bubbles
And drop in drop out multiplayer both local (with two or more switchs) and online
And ELECTIONS! Imagine sharing a town with several people around the globe and you have ELECTIONS to decide the new mayor!)
In theory, Mario Party 11 could be completed by ND Cube for this year. But would Nintendo publish such a safe/predictable game during the first year of the Switch?
