Uh that's huge news that deserves its own thread.
I think it's just more confirmation of something she has already mentionned before.
We're talking about the MK8 port that was in the trailer, not a brand new Mario Kart.

Why? I want to know everything now. Then I can either enjoy waiting until launch or just forget about the whole thing.

Gross.
it was shown in the reveal trailer and is an enhanced port of Mario Kart 8
first 6 months is pretty much guaranteed
not really new news, it's been rumored by her and emily rogers multiple times. she just reiterated that point again.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
How about waiting till Nintendo announces it?

We already had a thread when Emily tweeted this out months ago. I think Laura said some of the same stuff around that time, too.
Hold out. If you still want a new PS4 in March you should be able to get a sweet deal on a Horizon:Zero Dawn bundle

Fair enough, I'm just not use to seeing something leak this bad.
Come on. The only thing we don't know are minor details, price, and Reggie's wife favorite color. I have a feeling that the only thing we won't know yet by January 12th is Reggie's wife favorite color.
I hope so. I grew up and owned every Nintendo console. I really want the Switch to be a success for them.
Leaks usually happen for most consoles but (imo) to this extent. I mean I remember the PS4 reveal(it's what lead me to find Gaf) and the whole thread was eating crow on its specs. We seem to know everything except for price and minor details.

A lot, if not all her leaks have been the same way.
Newsflash - Switch to use memory cards (you expected a disc in a handheld)
Newsflash - the dock doesn't add processing power and it doesn't support external storage (this was visually apparent to anyone with a brain after the reveal)
I just don't get these "leaks"
Wait, what pre order?

Some of them are legit reporting, and I respect that, but there are some that pretty much common sense. I don't know if I can hold that against the ones reporting it, though. They're just the messengers. Here's one that I heard from my sources:
not really sure how you could think that tbh
See, I read that in a positive way - as in, she's a woman, not a chick. Otherwise, your assessment is accurate.
OT: It's looking increasingly likely that this will be the fifth new Nintendo platform I buy alongside a Monster Hunter game, and I'm fine with that.

So they want to sell 2 million units in 2 weeks?

Neat. Were you given this prior or after the Switch trailer?
That basically does sum up what the new 3D Mario game looks like. There's hints of 3D World/Land in there but there also seems to be some sort of return to a Galaxy/64 style of gameplay, especially with the inclusion of the triple jump.
In regards to the two player mode, I'd like to see Nintendo take advantage of the Switch's portability factor and have it so another user can play with their own device, letting them have their own screen to themselves rather than using forcing everyone to use the same camera or use a shitty splitscreen mode. I remember when I played through 3D World with my brother, he remarked on how it was unfortunate how Nintendo didn't take advantage of the Wii U's gamepad for this, and I agree.
I dunno, I see some folks making all these magical fantasy lists with big Nintendo games releasing like no tomorrow and I'm like "guys, come on, you honestly think Nintendo will blow their load in the first year like this, with all the big names out there?" That's not realistic at all. And I don't know, I feel Nintendo would make an entirely new MK for Switch.
a balance between 3D World and Galaxy would be amazing
a port of Mario Kart 8 has been rumored for a bit and I sincerely doubt Nintendo would have shown it in the reveal trailer if it wasn't releasing within the first 6 months of the console's life cycle. also really confused by your comment that it looks like a proof of concept or whatever. looks like Mario Kart 8 with some things added. the track is yoshi's circuit which was a part of the DLC they released.

Emily Rogers did say that the Switch's first year would "blow Wii U's out of the water". Take that as you will.

This is the day my daughter is supposed to be born...
Sorry Nintendo but you're going to have to wait a little while. Good thing is my birthday is the 26th so maybe I'll get a nice present. Doubt I'll get much time to game but that's not a priority over my daughter.

She went beyond that. She said Switch's first year would consist of a Nintendo lineup larger than most of Wii U's first party output, period.

Saving up for it right now. I will be ready to make a purchase come March 17th.

If she's late by a day then you have the day after pretty secure in terms of boredom.
Are you sure? This new console looks really good.
None of them are leaks, they're all official reveals. I meant some surprise game development. Something for the launch window. Games that Platinum, Retro, Monolith and Mistwalker have been working on. 3rd party ports like Call of Duty or Mass Effect. I can't believe none of them has been leaked yet.
PS: That basketball game is not necessarily NBA 2K, at the end of the trailer, only NBA's copyright was shown. No 2k or anything. It could be NBA Live or even someone else's (Nİntendo?) baskeball game.
And MH is coming for 3DS, I'm not sure if Switch MH is the same as 3DS one.
About a month after financial aid refunds, and I'll probably have my tax return by then. I'll probably end up waiting if Smash isn't there at launch, but it's nice knowing I'd be able to afford a new console on launch day for once. That's also a week after spring break, which means there's a good chance I'll be done with P5 and Horizon by the time it comes out. Hopefully someone does end up leaking the launch line-up so I can plan far in advance.

Isn't MonHum XX a 3DS game?
Is the speculation that they're gonna release an upscaled version for Switch?

Either that or Capcom is run by a bunch of idiots. Probably the later

I feel like I heard this days ago. For some reason the 17th was in my head. Pretty sure she or someone else had mentioned it before. Still, nice, and I'm assuming that's also the date for Zelda.
I took Monster Hunter's announcement for March 18th release as the Switch announcement for March 18th release

Hardware wise, I wouldn't be surprised if we do--or at least most of it.
It's basically the same comment Bethesda made.
