I think what I want most is to see some handheld titles on The Switch. Give me some Advance Wars (or call it Switch Wars, that's fine too!).

I just realized that today's event is a stream of the Japanese event with english live voice overs. This means that we aren't going to get US price, US specific announcements (Mother 3), etc unless they take time in the Japanese only event to mention it. Meaning the real press event is the Friday deal

4chan also said that Sonic Adventure 3 and Sonic Genesis: The Origins of Chaos were things.

Here's the thing, there's a major gaming event, people want to know things, fake leaks are there to try and satiate that. Don't believe anything that doesn't come from a legitimate journalist.

It's also basically impossible to tell the real leaks from the thousands upon thousands of fake bullshit posts until after the fact, so there's really no point.
Nah, they'll give all prices in the press conference.
Here's your spoiler free topic:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuC4YLLkqME <-- Press me to watch Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017
And yes, before you ask, yes, the link will stay the same and will contain the replay of the stream.

Yeah, I read up on how getting a LAN adapter can help but I don't really wanna bother if the Switch is so close to launching anyway.

I guess this explains the Hori arcade stick.
It's always like that for YouTube streams.
And? Of course there will always be fake leaks especially on an huge open anonymous forum like 4chan but that's also the reason why so many real leaks pop up there as well. It's a double-edged sword.
That's true for any forum no matter how "strict" the moderation tries to be about verifying people and that includes GAF as well. And we talk about these leaks all the time no matter if we know they are real or not so I don't really see it being "no point".
It does make sense in its own way.
- Capcom wants to release a Street Fighter on this thing, it makes a lot of sense since two controllers are included
- They can't release SF5, that's Sony exclusive on consoles
- They can't release SF4, they want you to forget that game and focus on 5
- SF2 is the next best thing and also embodies this retro renaissance we're seeing right now and especially after the NES mini
It's so out there I want it to be real. But playing SF2 with an analog stick. 😷

And? Don't believe anything on 4chan. Just because you feel like it's true doesn't mean it's true. That's how people fall for fake news.

There's a scale for how trustworthy "leaks" can be. GAF is certainly not 100% dead-on, but to say GAF's curated leaking is in the same universe of reliability as 4chan's completely free for all shitposting is insane.

I wonder if the rumored switch port of xenoblade X gets rid of the pop in enemies. my biggest problem with the game.
given the switch is(?) really 3-4 times more powerful than the wiiu it should be possible.
also a boost to 1080p would be nice
why not?
didn't Hori announce an Switch arcade stick too? would make sense

Even if it didn't, all you'd need to do is type "Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017" on Google and you'd get the link. You want a thread just for a single YouTube link? I don't get it.

So who thinks those meetings with Nintendo and Toby Fox will materialise into a Switch product in a few hours?
”It's surreal that it's newsworthy that a Nintendo rep tweeted at me," Fox told fans on Twitter. ”I actually already talked to Nintendo about a port months ago."

The only thing on that 4chan post that makes it seem fake is that Street Fighter game.
What would it even be? SF2 Turbo HD?

If Mario Kart has 16 new tracks, new characters & a proper battle mode, I think it would be quite harsh for people to call it a 'port'.
The Hori arcade Switch is for Tekken 7, it's way way more likely than the obviously fake SF2 thing.

Super Turbo in HD (or not?) with additional characters. I would love it if they dusted off their Super Famicom devkits to make this.
It does make sense in its own way.

Tekken 7 seems more likely at launch.
I mean the Sony exclusivity could be for one full year but I don't see it. I don't mind being wrong though.
edit: Oh I see oti xero meant a SF2 type sequel....hmm, that would be intriguing.
What and? I will take into consideration 4chan rumours that look believable and likely because that has happened multiple times in the past.
Also, that comparison to fake news is dumb.
GAF also doesn't have as many big leaks as 4chan. I already said it's a double-edged sword.

Nintendo isn't daft enough to officially unveil details only regarding Japan with their market being far larger in the West.
I don't think SFV will be on any other console, ever.
Damn, this event is truly massive.

So the DLC packs for the existing Mario Kart make it a whole new game on the Wii U?
It's a port with extra DLC baked in.

It's still fundementally the same game. Nothing harsh about it.
TheMagician

You've played it then, Broken Hope?
Sounds like there's going to be A LOT of new content from Emily's recent post.
What source do you have that says it will have the U DLC only?
User123456

Pretty much every game from Mario Kart DS onwards has been "fundamentally the same game". Bringing back two item slots and adding new tracks is about the same kind of changes you'd expect from a full on sequel at this point.
"Famitsu airing 1-hour Switch video report shortly after Nintendo's presentation"
"airs 9-10 PM JST"
The Switch presentation starts at 1 PM JST. So the event would be a long one I guess?

Could be referring to the event as a whole - meaning the playable session following the presentation.
Ok if there is stream right after I will definitely wake up at 5am, @#/! you sleep.

Thanks man 💕
Yeah, but it looks like including the playable sessions the event is pretty lengthy if the Switch presentation is said to be just an hour long. Maybe there's some extensive game coverage right after?
I'm going to go ahead and repost my first and second party 2017 predictions.

Plus the revamped battle mode. Plus new characters. Plus (probably) a proper online mode. Plus (probably) enhanced graphics.
It's not a mere port.
