Are you also saying that it is not called splatoon 2 or that it isnt a sequel?
just trying here 
Ah, OK. What about Splatoon? Not a sequel or is the name that you have an issue with?

11pm eastern time? -_- why so late? ugh
She didn't say either way if it was a game she leaked or one someone else did. I think people just jumped to conclusions.
Keep the gifs flowing!

I wouldn't be expecting too many triple AAA releases, I mean I expect the install size of RE7 to be over 20GB, I can't imagine carts of that size to be that cheap.

Im so excited for this. It is a legit console on the go, man!

So if there is a sequel to a Wii U game that was originally thought to be a port, and it's not Splatoon, I wonder what it could be?

He's probably just saying the name of the games.

Splatoon is just a port with some new stuff (not a bad amount) added afaik.
If available on Switch, I would only get the following type of third party multiplatform games on Switch:
- Local Multiplayer (like Rocket League)
- Long RPG's (stuff that takes a long time to finish since the portable aspect would be nice for grinding)
Anything else I would stick to Ps4/PC.

I want to play Skyrim at work. I don't really care if it looks worse, as I have a nice PC for third party stuff that I want to look nice. I don't care for the idea of convincing myself that some janky ass console version of a game is the optimal way to play it--give me a way to play that's different from how I can experience it elsewhere.
I've recently sold my Xbox One and likely won't ever buy a PS4. Those consoles are boring as they offer substandard versions of games I can play on my computer. The Switch offers something inherently different, portability, it's why I'm excited for it.

There's no way Nintendo would release a game called Mario Kart 8

So, is Mario Maker the game that has a sequel?
Because it's not Mario Kart and no way it can be Smash.
That's what I'm thinking. I doubt Splatoon 2 is called Splatoon 2. Same thing with Mario Kart 8 update. Could be wrong, but I would think they'd be a bit more creative than that.
Time will tell but I feel Skyrim is going to perform terribly on the Switch due to hardware specs.
Thank you. Same to you!

He went from
"All of this is completely false!"
to
"Well, some of it is completely false!"
in just two minutes?
OK.
The Cross games are usually a lot of work, and PxZ2 didn't sell so well in North America. There's a bigger chance of another Endless Frontier at this point than a PxZ3. Or, they could even scrap that and send Reiji and Xiaomu to the main SRW universe.

If you have a laptop which is capable of gaming it can easily cover these games.
I'd also add sports game to your list (I love being able to play FIFA on my laptop while on a train)
Emily mentioned that one of the reported ports is actually a sequel. You have any intel on whether it's Splatoon?
I think he just means the titles are incorrect
Edit, yeah he confirmed as much in this thread

Pretty awful idea to launch it a week or two after (before?) FE Fates.
No need to be facetious. Mario Kart is unique in that way.
Ahah exactly the same when I looked at it

Plot twist: Zelda isn't a port. We're getting two Zelda games in March.
So it's not unprecedented then and the game is recent. Splatoon's sequel could very easily carry a 2 behind its name. I'm not saying it will, but that's not a good enough reason to disregard the rumor.

On my ride in to work this morning, I thought about being o-so-clever by wishing everyone a Merry Switchmas; but, you all had to poop on my parade.
Oh well. I do wish everyone a fantastic final few hours on the "Final Day". This is the golden time when the Switch of our dreams is at full blossom and our imaginations can run wild. No matter how great of a platform it will be, the reality of Switch will never reach the zenith that it is at right now in our imaginations.
I think it's going to be a fantastic platform and we are finally getting what we all wanted - all of Nintendo's development resources focused on a unified device. No longer will there be droughts like there was before as Ninty can keep enough meat on the bone by themselves. I honestly believe the Switch is going to radically change the game development landscape from this point forward. SoC means guaranteed backwards compatibility for however long Nintendo wants as long as they are willing to make sure "Switch 2.0" has enough horsepower to emulate Switch 1.0 and since 1.0 is going to be able to run the entire Nintendo catalog, that's a lifetime of classics. The Switch paradigm shift will likely also mean that future iterations of the platform in theory could automatically upscale as performance increases since it will run via emulation. Imagine a future where each new version brings CEMU like enhancements to the games you'll begin buying in a few weeks.
Ultimately, if this approach proves itself to be as viable as we think it will be, the other players in the industry will have to follow suit.
Enjoy the last few hours of the beautiful bliss of anticipation everyone... then let the bloodbath begin fighting for preorders.
