Honestly I would be pretty okay with this. Never got the Wii U version so if they made a port with all the extra arcade characters I might be interested.

I'll take a Pokken Announcement. Never got the Wii U version.

Whatever Nintendo has planned I hope they announce it tomorrow. Please Nintendo don't keep me in misery until Friday.

If there isn't a direct this week everyone who posted in this thread should be banned. Including me.

Yes ban everyone!
Except me.
Knowing myself, if we don't get anything announced, I'm going to find someone to blame.
Don't let me down mysterious someone!

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
You can't just ban 90% of nintengaf
It will be the coolest Direct ever.
*Nintendo Direct begins*
*Henry Winkler appears onscreen*
Henry: "Hi kids, it's me, Fonzie. Ayeeeeeeeh."
*proceeds to announce RE6-II, Dino Crisis Switch, and the definitive edition of SSB4, creatively titled Super SNAKE Bros: Super Smash Bros for Switch: Featuring SNAKE from the Metal Gear Solid Series: Solid Snake.*

Not yet, but seeing as you asked, my empty stomach is telling me we'll have an announcement within the next 30 hours.

There's several patterns that suggest some sort of an announcement soon. If nothing else, we should be getting Nintendo's E3 plans soon.
Can I remind everyone that with ORAS, they revealed the game on May 7th, we then had a tiny bit of footage (of which people said we were trolled) in Pokémon Get TV on May 10th, which then went online https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00DyEDmQ83s. The first actual information came at E3 (well it leaked in CoroCoro a day before but the magazine wasn't meant to be out until the 15th)
Pokémon Dash on the Virtual Boy?
That'd be fine. Pokkén is widely loved and is one of the Wii U's hidden successes. It sold over a million units. It just doesn't appear on Nintendo's top lists because, like Hyrule Warriors, it was published by a third party in Japan (Bandai Namco).
I am fairly certain we'll be seeing a Pokkén game announced for Switch in coming months. However, that would unlikely impact a main game.

And Splash! Magikarp. Because where the hell is that? It's running out of time for its Spring launch

Can they just give us remastered Pokemon Stadium minigames?
Oh, and Detective Pikachu!

Wasn't that shown in the initial Switch reveal?

Yeah we already know it's coming b
"This is the week guys, i can feel it"
Well, a "SKU parity" would be great: considering how, in the past few years, different SKUs meant different bonuses, including stuff like additional Virtual Currency, it would mean that the Switch version is treated in the same way as the others. IIRC, this was not the case back in the Wii era, with multiplatform games releasing on Wii without the corresponding special editions, usually only for the other consoles.
EDIT: Thinking more about it, though, both the 100$ and the 150$ SKUs look a bit strange for recent NBA 2K trends: in the past few years, alongside the 59.99 SKU, there was a 79.99 SKU, nothing else. Thus, 3 SKUs, with two of them being at so high prices seems quite unusual. I wonder what's going to be different this year for NBA 2K, then (assuming this is the game "leaked" through GameStop).

Hey as long as I get a boxart and a title that means it's real and not a rumor! All I would need honestly!

That was 2K17, which I presume at this point, they're just going to skip it and do 2K18.
Dark Cloud

We already know 2K18 is coming to Switch. That initial reveal I thought was so funny how many people were doubting if some of those games were coming to Switch.

Pokken for Switch with the arcade-exclusive characters (and maybe some more thrown in) would be the best. Pokken was the last game I played on the WiiU, and I'll gladly pick it up again.
Pokken, ARMS, and Smash is too much for one genre in 2017 IMO.
I think it makes sense to save Smash for 2018.
Why would it be exempt?
Dark Cloud
Member
No. I don't think it would be exempt. It's the one game that needs to have paid online.
yeah, I mean online, the auto correct screwed me again
Correct.
Street Fighter is also around, and there's at least one indie fighting game Nintendo is already showcasing too.
They have to play their cards well, spacing this kind of games around singleplayer games. I'd say that there are "too many" multiplayer focused games on Switch until Q4 when mario, warriors and xeno 2 arrive. If they announce more games they'll have to be like those.
I believe Pokémon would be exempt due to Game Freak's views/policies regarding making kids pay extra.
I can see Nintendo letting standard online play for Pokémon (Battles, Battle Spot, Trades etc.) be free for people, but the more intricate stuff (GTS, Wonder Trade, New stuff etc.) perhaps be paywalled.
Pokémon is a heavily social game. A paywall to major aspects would be damaging.

I think this is wishful thinking. You're either going to have the online service or you're not.
So is Call of Duty. Kids play that just fine.

Why do you think Pokémon should be an exception?
Wishful thinking.
I mean come on, paying online has never been family friendly, and pokemon has always been a family friendly series
Mario Kart is family friendly, do you think that will be free too?
