What time is the presentation today? It's on the 12th right?

Lab Zero Games are also insane with their animations. I really doubt something like SNES era sprites are -that- expensive.

Tekken 7 would be huge. Wii U had probably the best Tekken game yet, my favorite at least, so having 7 would be a very nice showing of their commitment from Bandai Namco. And with the games they put out, that's worth quite a bit.

Seconded. Where did those titles come from?

Plus, Tekken 7 would be the best game to really show off local play with joycons.

Final Pre-Conference GAF reaction prediction: During and after the conference there will be massive meltdowns and disappointments. Many threads will be created about how Nintendo is done, how they are going to be a mobile publisher or people begging them to go third party. After reality slowly starts to sink in and expectations get readjusted the backlash/meltdown state will switch to a more positive "this cool be pretty cool" attitude.

Or Kimishima brings out the system to start the presentation only to drop it and start crying.
Fighting games on Switch and their likelihood:
Tekken 7 - Likely, both WiiU and 3DS had Tekken.
Some form of SF2 - Kind of likely? If that leak is to be believed, and I doubt it is... but a 30th anniversary game is not that farfetched. I'm not holding my breath.
UMvC3 - Maybe somewhat likely, since they're going out of their way to port it to newer systems and probably runs on a toaster.
Pokken - WiiU ports are extremely likely.
Some Arcsys animu air dash thing - Not impossible, I guess :/
Injustice 2 - Not impossible either, WiiU getting the first game and all, but maybe down-porting it would be difficult?
KOFXIV - we're still not sure if Sony paid for it, they've never said that, though. Not impossible, I guess?
Tekken 7 - Likely, both WiiU and 3DS had Tekken.

Depends. If they're just redrawing the same, low frame animations that were present in the OG SFII then it would actually probably be way cheaper than a modern 3D fighter. I mean they managed to do so last gen whilst still selling the game at a budget price.
Skull Girls isn't really comparible, it has way more animation.

Disgaea and waifus...I sort of see where you're coming from. But the fact of the matter is you're still trumpeting the stupid "Stop liking what I don't like!" mindset.
What harm does it do you if people play disgaea on the switch? Or any of those games with waifus and stuff if we really wanna get into this? I don't like Senran Kagura for example but if people enjoy it then good for them, I'm not going to want to stop their enjoyment just because it's not my thing.

Ditto, I'll get up a little early and read the announcements. But I have been following this NX stuff since inception, and I am starting to feel I'm going to be let down in the last week or so. I'm starting to think Nintendo hasn't completely learned its lesson.
I'm also super curious to see a few things, 1) system needs to be $249, 2) is real third party support there? 3) did Nintendo listen to fans finally? 4) what HD remake is tantalus working on?
A lot of coffee starting with 4:45 AM.

Honestly I'd just be happy to see more Mario + title, more of new Splatoon, more of Zelda, and maybe one surprise 1st party title. That along with release date + pricing.
Anything else to me is just icing on the cake.

Yeah, really. I don't care if I end up looking like a moron for asking, but you took the time to reply and didn't offer an explanation.
That would still be Mario Kart and a couple of other first party multiplayer games. Playing Tekken with Joycons doesnt sound fun at all lol.
But it would be fine for some casual fun....hope they include Tekken Ball again.

from a 4chan/reddit leak that will turn out to be true and everyone cries.
4chan leak about Switch games being playable at a European event.

The only possible art style changes I see is them reusing the sprites from the HD version or, if this is a higher budget project, outright going with some 3d engine and just keeping the gameplay (mostly) the same as SSF2T. Although the name indicates new characters too, and with a title like USF2 they could get away with any gameplay changes too (coming from using SF4's or MvC3/4's engine and being unable to make it emulate SSF2T perfectly).
Edit: Alternatively, they could go with Alpha/Capcom vs SNK sprites which would open a much wider array of options for new characters without needing to make actual new sprites.

Will we get a presskit with high quality videos and screenshots right after? Those are the Switchmas presents.

I just hope they revive Non-Specific Action Figure, usable with the scanner ding dong.
The link to the 4Chan is on just about every page going back. Just jump back a couple of pages and check it out. I think it's fake, so I don't know why they posted the poll.
Edit: Corrected Reddit to 4chan. I always get those two confused.

Aww it's not until late at night?

It is...in Japan.
I'll be rather shocked if the BG&E2 rumour is proven to be accurate. It hasn't been corroborated, it's a software rumour and Dale backed the wrong horse vis-a-vis the Uncharted 4 DLC, and, most of all, the details have changed twice now (in production/2017 release/Switch exclusive -> in pre-production/2018 release/teaser during Switch reveal/Switch exclusive -> maybe a teaser during the Switch media event/timed Switch exclusive). I also think that Nintendo will be more careful about which third-party projects it backs financially and BG&E2 strikes me as too risky, even considering the cult classic status of the original.

Whoa, really? I was assuming it'd be like a 20, maybe 30 min max video presentation.
Though, I wouldn't complain.

So with Resident Evil 7 being my most anticipated game currently, here's a random theory.
Capcom was doing a lot of media stuff for RE7 in December, but have been mostly quiet in January. Here we are 13 days from when RE7 is supposed to launch, and they are being quiet as a mouse on the game right now.
What if the reason they're being so strangely quiet when the game is out in less than two weeks is because RE7 will be at the Switch reveal with a new trailer? That would make a lot more sense in context to why they're being so quiet right now, more so than they were being in December, and would be good exposure for them if that was their plan.
Just throwing that out there for a potential Switch reveal. If you've been following RE7, you probably know how oddly quite Capcom have been despite the fact the game is less than two weeks away from launch.
