You would think they would have to (Laura confirmed it being a share button on the stream with OBE1PLAYS btw). The alternatives would be Nintendo having a dedicated service for videos of their own, which seems rather unlikely, or Nintendo only allowing screenshots to be shared, which would be a bit shit tbh. The stringent policies would have to go if they are allowing video sharing.

Isn't there issue just with monetization? People that would do that probably wouldn't use a share function as they'd already have a capture card.
He made a comment after Iwata's death that his continued work with Nintendo was down to the mutual respect between him and Iwata and he wasn't sure if that would continue in the future.
All videos will be tagged by Nintendo and not able to be monetized?

I am as well, but only because #TeamMarch is the most exciting possibility.
But Nintendo was a mistake. It'll be nothing but trash.
Now that would be a good way for Capcom to earn fans' goodwill back.
Of course, an attached rifle doesn't really scream Mega Man to me, Arm Cannon to a rifle is weird.
I mean, if it's plausible enough for us to make the jump from "rifle" to "Mega Man," surely we could make the same jump for Metroid? And that would instantly earn every Nintendo fan's goodwill.
Screw it, I'm predicting a Mega Man X Metroid crossover platformer for the Switch in 2018.
It could just be something for a new Kid Icarus or for a new Custom Robo. I kinda want to see both IPs on the Switch is some form at some point, so I hope so.
You know what my name means? Google it.
Same here. As long as LKD or whoever doesn't leak anything else big then I'm excited to actually see the games, the UI, the hardware, etc. It's starting to feel a lot more "real" now that it's 2017.
he worked on arcade game for Sega
I don't think they could leak everything, even if they wanted to.
From my experience in QA, it's tricky to guess how long localization and debugging is gonna take.
Lots of variables there.
So now it's Laura & Emily vs. Stealth. This will be interesting.
Oh there will be leaks.
And vague rumours. Those will be somewhat negative and a portion of GAF will freak out stating "this totally sounds like something Nintendo would do so it must be true! this fucking company" blaaarrbarraaghh by next friday. And on the thirteenth (well for us Europeans) we'll be relieved because of the reveal.
Glad I'm off on Friday; means I need to get up around 04:45, but I'll get some breakfast, milk, and watch the presentation on my tv. Going to be fun.

Actually, Laura said a NOA source told her it would land at launch, so it's Laura & Emily vs. Stealth & Laura.
Yeah the leaks really haven't ruined anything so far. Maybe the crazy surprise that would have been the Rabbids game announcement? But we still know nothing about what it looks like or how it really plays. Same with the Mario 3D game, it's one thing to know that it exists and is ready for launch, but the real surprise will be the name, the gameplay, the ennemies, the music...
Add to that the UI, the online, the hardware, the 3rd party output, the unannounced games, the eSport angle... And then the journalists and gaming enthusiasts giving their hands on impressions, and maybe the NDA for Switch developers finally lifting... we're in for a wild ride.
Was this recent?
Its def gonna be launch, Nintendo prob have been doing everything they could to make sure its ready
Its not about who to trust, Emily said it might miss launch and they were trying to get localization done, I dont think anybody said its def not launching on day 1 on Switch.
This is the flagship Switch game we see the most of, I could see maybe Mario coming out April if they dont want them launch the same day, but Nintendo might wont to have a huge launch lineup of Mario and Zelda.
I doubt anybody gonna be upset if Mario doesnt launch with Switch, we have barely seen the game, but if Zelda misses launch you could have some people waiting to buy Switch.
Vorsicht!
It's not really a "vs." though. There are conflicting info received at different times and it's totally plausible that a release date for a game that has no official release date to change during the development.

As much as i'd like for Mario to be at launch, Zelda is where the money is at right now. It already has a ton of hype and open-world adventure games are extremely popular at the moment. Having that at launch would be massive for them.
Or perhaps things went smoother than expected. But yeah, sounds like there's conflicting info everywhere. Maybe that's what Emily wanted to fill us in on.

I always assumed this was the goal to begin with. With the amount of advertising the game has gotten alongside the Switch, I would expect Nintendo to have all hands on deck to try and hit launch.
You could say the same thing for Mario, right? Super Mario Run has been downloaded incredibly often, so Mario is at least in people's minds. Capitalising on that with a true Super Mario platformer would potentially attract a huge amount of interest and sales.
You could twist that both ways. While Zelda has hype behind it from E3 & The Game Awards, Mario is more well-known & Zelda in June would give Skyrim some breathing room.
That said, in light of the conflicting info, I'll take the wait-&-see stance. I'm curious to see if Eurogamer will stick with not-launch or if they've recently heard otherwise. Either way, I think most of us expected that Nintendo's goal for BotW is March. The question is if they'll hit that goal or not.
But it'd be Nintendo stealing their own money.
As amazing as it would be to have both, one's likely getting pushed back if the other is at launch.

Laura clearly gets most of her knowledge from European sources. And now she's hearing from NoA it will make launch.
Sounds like Zelda at launch in the US but delayed in Europe to me. Which localization problems would tie into since in Europe you have to localize for more languages.

That would suck for the folks in Europe. Though at the very least, the Switch is supposedly region-free, so importing is an option.
Sort of agreeing with this. I mean, I also remember how he successfully leaked that a Direct was coming slightly before its official announcement, but after that...nothing, from what I know. So, I don't think we should put that much faith in what he's saying.
While we won't know for sure until they say so, Zelda not at launch would be a fool's errand imo. You don't show your big game for 6+ months and have it launches after the hype for the system has died down. I can definitely see Mario coming after, but Zelda is something people really want asap. It wouldn't make sense to hold off on it until June and than launch the game with a Wii u version, which could lead to consumer confusion.
So this was today and Stealth said the same today, sounds like Zelda is at launch then

If they launch Mario and Zelda at launch they must have a hell of a 3rd party lineup in the months after launch. I can't see anything from Nintendo keeping the Switch from a software drought without Zelda.
IIRC didn't they do that once with the Luigi Game?
I mean, I don't expect them to do that for such a big release like a new zelda...

This could be a hint for Sakurai's new game.

Happy New Year everyone!
Not necessary since it could meant anything at the point.
Sakurai could use the assault rifle for a reference (for wooden figure he used to make the movesets for characters in Smash Bros) or characters in new games.
He used a pistol toy for Zero Suit Seamus and paper clip for Pit.
No, it won't. It would be Nintendo stealing everybody's else money. People in average buy more than 1 game at a launch of a new console. Plus both games will have decent legs.
No, that's just... no.
Retail loves Nintendo and Nintendo loves retail. This move would be damaging to that relationship and it wouldn't even be worth it I believe.

Emily has a Zelda announcement coming next week, right? Put me under #TeamMarchExceptPALLand
But that doesn't apply to everyone. A bunch of people may only buy one game at launch (not counting the pack-in game, which may be Splatoon). In that scenario, that's when Zelda & Mario both being on Day 1 would eat into Nintendo's potential profits.
If ones at launch, the other will come later. That's how I see it.
She had two separate NoA sources before as well. Sounds to me like they're trying really heard to meet the launch date. Maybe even outsourcing it to various translation groups.
Wouldn't that raise the question which the big launch game for Europe will be? Mario? But does that mean both Zelda and Mario for America? Or will Europe have no big launch titles which would be very bad for Nintendo.

I always look back at the Wii with Galaxy vs. NSMB where NSMB sold nearly 30m units vs. Galaxy's 12m. Not that 12m is anything remotely bad. But I think it demonstrated a difference in the appeal of 2D Mario vs. 3D. Like it's hard to imagine that a 3D Mario Maker would be anywhere near as successful as the 2D one as it's inevitably going to be a lot more complicated.
That said, Mario is obviously going to sell a ton. I just think the momentum is with Zelda right now for he reasons I mentioned. There were even PC websites that were going crazy over the E3 demo. It's got the makings of appealing to audiences that may have ignored Nintendo in the past. The market is in love with open-world adventure games right now, so having Zelda at launch would really be perfect for Nintendo. A game that can appeal to the diehard Nintendo fan as well as those that may have lost interest in their consoles over the years.
