Especially if it's true that they're gonna use XBCX as basis for their next game.

With what we know (or rumored) I'm going...
Premium Switch (whatever that entails)
Mario Switch
Skyrim
Pro Controller
I'm trying to be frugal with my gaming purchases right now...saving it all for the Switch launch. 100% all in on this thing...
It was a figure of speech, because it has both the old content from the Wii U version, and new content exclusive to the Switch version.

Anyone else think we might see a mainline Fire Emblem game show up at the January presentation, or E3?
I mean, thinking about it, Fire Emblem Fates was released back in the summer of 2015. Should be enough to at least show a teaser trailer, right? Nintendo is planning on releasing a Fire Emblem app for smart phones, and it could coincide with a real game.

Waaaaay too early. There was three years between Awakening and Fates, and they worked on Fates DLC after the release.
Yeah. Depends on the memory situation and unannounced/not rumored launch games, but I'm planning something like this at the moment. Splatoon bundle doesn't excite me tbh. I am not looking for an online shooter (same reason I never got it on Wii U despite being excited by its success and newness for Nintendo).
My plans for launch:
Cheap console SKU
3D Mario
Skyrim
Pro controller
Maybe: depending on the gameplay, I might also get the Mario x Rabbids rpg
And, if the rumours are correct, Mario Kart should come pretty soon after launch too.
I think it likely, even if it's not there at launch. It's probably safe to assume that most, if not every, mobile Nintendo game will have a Switch counterpart within a reasonable window of the mobile release.
My plans for launch:
Switch bundle with Splatoon - 300
Pro Controller - 50
3D Mario - 50
Rabbids RPG if it's any good - 50
Horizon Zero Dawn for PS4 too so RIP wallet. I'm selling my old PS3 and an old laptop, maybe I'll sell my Wii U too to finance all this stuff lol. Out with the old, in with the new.

There was like an 8 month gap between the Japanese and international releases.
It seems foolish, but despite its popularity, it seems to be seen as a side-project for SEGA; although the team is a legendary combo, it's effectively a newly-established C-Team (Despite being AA-level talent). They may not want to use the resources until it becomes obvious to them that Mania's going to do well (And hopefully the Switch, too!).

Obviously Super Mario Run will be available day one, but I wonder how aggressively Nintendo will be pursuing these smaller touch games for the Switch, and how ainviting others to pursue them as well.
Might be nice to see Dr. Mario make a comeback in this form.

My launch day
That would mean a Fire Emblem for Switch next Spring which is way too soon. Same goes for Animal Crossing, unless New Leaf+ is being ported over.
- Nintendo Switch w/ Splatoon
- Pro Controller
- Pouch (with room for game cards and the console)
- 3D Mario
I really do not think this to be the case.

Will it though?
When was that first Fates trailer relative to Awakening?

You may be right. I am probably just projecting what I think to be a good co-release strategy (between mobile and console) onto the reality of the release schedule.

FEA came out in May of 2012 I believe. Fate's first trailer was back in January 2015.
My launch plans:
Premium Console w/Splatoon
Pro controller
3D Mario
Skyrim
Which, if the console is £250 and the other three are £50 (though this price for Skyrim is doubtful), should put me back £400. The Rabbids game might be good but I can wait and see for that one, Skyrim is old but I haven't touched it in years so it'll be new for me. Of course my plans will change depending on what new is revealed at the January event.
Can't wait. This is the first console launch ever where I have my own money. Tempted to put up with the higher prices of GAME just so I can go to the midnight release. Not having to wait until my Birthday or Christmas makes me so hype.

Fates was announced in January 2015, and Awakening was back in the pre-TGS 2011 conference. Four years between them, but it shouldn't take as long this time (as the production on Fire Emblem must have doubled down now). But don't expect anything this january.
Okay. Unless it's fast tracked then or a super early trailer, January 2017 seems too early. I was thinking the trailer was further back for some reason.
The thirst is not a myth.
It's fun in a weird sort of way.
My plans won't change all that much even if all the rumours are false anyway. The premium SKU, a pro controller and two games is what I'm getting no matter what.
With that many leaks the only question marks left for launch are Retro's game, the new IP and whether 3rd party games such as Mario X Rabbids will be any good or not.
And we haven't had a new leak for like a full day! :O
PANIC!!!!

I just played a few levels of Yoshi's Woolly World, and it reminds me, whats Good-Feel been up to, anyway?
YWW came out back in June 2015. Now, unlike someone like Monolith Soft, Good-Feel's games tend to be smaller scale affairs. How long do their games take to make? I remember Woolly World was announced back in January 2013, literally over two years before it actually came out, but that was probably just because Nintendo desperately needed something to show off in their emergency Direct there, sort of like SMT X FE (which came out as Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE).
Do we know who's handling the 3DS port?

They take long ass times, Yoshi's Wooly World took them five years or something like that.

Damn. Didn't know they were that big affairs.

IIRC, Yoshi was announced at the same time as XCX and came out the same year. It's insane that it took that long and it flew under the radar.
The game sold kinda well though, it broke 1.37 million back in last March :

What third party games you would buy if they announce it for Nintendo Switch?
Thanks, BDGAME.
Persona 5
Final Fantasy 15
Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Kingdom Hearts 3
Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5
Crash Bandicoot Trilogy
Sonic Mania
Disgaea HD
Tales of Berseria
Tales of Vesperia (following Abyss 3DS)
Tales of Graces f (Wii owners in the west kind of missed out AHEM)
Tekken 7
Atelier (any)
Ninokuni 2
God Eater 3
You did ask sooo...
Edit: Only listed ones not that much of a given (Sonic Mania is the most likely, but the lack of announcement when we had 2017 announced is concerning). It's why I didn't say BG&E2 (Nintendo-funded) or Monster Hunter 5 (I would think this is obviously happening) for instance.
SwitchGAF is where it's at...
Hehe thanks. Also I heard there's a NintendoGAF Discord? Does anyone per chance have the link to that?

Yeah, and I'm certain they're on YWW 3DS because of their 3DS experience.
I'm sure they're cooking up something neat for Switch, but it might be a bit before we see it.
Would it be a surprise if I tell you about Raving Rabbids ?
Ah, right, the RR/Mario RPG? I saw the topic title pass by.
