I thought those things were just free and open to the public, people just came down to the theaters and watchedSo how is nintendo handling those 2(?) tournaments? Now that sony has pretty much given all of their tickets to their theater showing thing I would think that we're getting pretty close to when nintendo should be shoveling tickets out. Unless they've already done so?
Question, who still believes that Xenoblade 2 is still coming out this year and if you do why?

How much do you know about the developmentI do. Everyone who knows anything about the development is confident in the 2017 date.

Peléo;238752231 said:I don't think that explains the philosophy behind their development process. Splatoon wasn't the result of Nintendo's developers thinking: 'Shooters are popular, let's see how we can design one that appeals to our audience'. Normally they create a gameplay concept and explore it in many different ways. If they can sense some potential, they build a game around it. The Iwata Asks about Splatoon is an excellent read to verify this. Same applies for ARMS. They are sometimes influenced by other games (such as the developers of BotW mentioning the Witcher 3 or Sakurai's weekly columns), but never to a high degree.
Many people say Nintendo should do a MOBA based on popularity, but it will never happen this way for the reason above. It will only come to fruition through an organic process. Ignoring industry trends is a blessing and a curse for Nintendo and its consumers (more on the blessing side in my opinion).
After Nintendo saying they're focusing on games releasing in 2017, my expectations are extremely low for their E3 showing which in turn has put a downer on the whole event for me.
Previously I was expecting Smash Bros, Pokemon Stars, Metroid, Luigi's Mansion 3, Pikmin 4 and Retro's game to be revealed but now I think we're just going to see a ton of Mario Odyssey (which isn't a bad thing at all) along with more footage of games we already know about like Fire Emblem Warriors, Skyrim, Fifa and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Hopefully we finally get some info on the VC aswell as pricing / feature news for the paid online.
It makes perfect business sense tbh considering the Switch is selling so well they can't keep them on store shelves. There would be no sense dropping several new game announcements of games releasing in 2018 when people are fighting it out to get a Switch to play Zelda and Mario Kart.
I suppose we should also remember that Nintendo have five or six Nintendo Direct's throughout the year aswell so they need surprises and content for those.
For the first time ever I'm going into this years Nintendo E3 presentation with zero expectations. Hopefully they surprise me in a good way. If not there's always Mario footage to look forward to
I wonder if we'll see what Platinum is working on at E3. Seems like odd timing for them to say they're working on something for Switch if it wasn't going to get announced at E3.

Other M wasent to try and reach a japanese audience, it was a attempt at making a cinematic narrative with the metroid franchise, to make more of a story over all the lore they had built upI think you are mostly but not completely right.
Think of things like where 3D Mario has gone. The 3D series was explicitly an attempt to meet the audience of the 2D games and bring them to 3D.
Or things like Other M, which was quite clearly an attempt to make Metroid more palatable to a Japanese audience, even if, by Sakamoto's lights, the game also stuck to guns that he thought hurt it (namely having Samus be a woman). (Not going to go into how ironic that is).
Similarly, with BotW, Aonuma discusses hearing from someone the oft-said "I want a big world to explore in Zelda, like I felt I had in OoT" and then coming around to feeling that way himself. He also expressed having looked at open world games even if, ultimately, what they explicitly ended up doing was primarily internally driven. It was their take on open world.
Think of IS recent statements on advanced wars. They aren't doing it because they can't repeat the waifu craze of 3DS FE as they see it at this time.
And then you look at Retro specifically. Look at Prime 2. It screams "we want to do Zelda" with its temple structure. Prime 3 similarly is clearly trying to mimic some of the shooter experience on other consoles, with the occasional objective driven segments, achievements, etc.
I wouldn't be at all surprised that if Retro pitched a new IP to Nintendo that it were thought up and in conversation with the world of western games and reached out to them in some way.

I was doing my monthly Xbox rewards survey and it seems like Microsoft is expecting an announcement for the Nintendo SNES Classic Edition.
If their supply line wasn't currently on fire, I'd agree. Expect it next year when/if the Switch levels off.I was doing my monthly Xbox rewards survey and it seems like Microsoft is expecting an announcement for the Nintendo SNES Classic Edition.

Why wouldn't we? People keep saying it will be delayed, but I can't anyone explaining they think that. Nintendo said it's 2017, and I see no reason not yo believe it at this point.

The #Splatoon2 World Inkling Invitational begins in two weeks at #E32017! Watch 4 teams from around the world battle for the gold!
Four expert competitive gamers will square off against qualifying E3 attendees at the 2017 ARMS Invitational on Wednesday, June 14!
Btw, Nintendo America tweeted about the Splatoon 2 World Inkling Invitiational, which is on Tuesday, June 13.
The tweet has a short video introducing the 4 teams participating.
Also tweeted about the ARMS Open Invitiational, which is the day after.
If Xenoblade 2 was coming this year outside japan we'd have voice actors accidentally putting it on their resume and stuff like that by now.
I'm not even doubting that the game is almost finished, but the localization sure isn't imo.

There is no evidence to doubt that it's releasing worldwide at the same time. However, Nintendo's Kimishima did clearly state they want to release all of their games globally around the same time. Well I keep repeating myself at this point. We'll just have to wait until E3. The experts and insiders who keep saying it's not releasing in 2017 despite evidence pointing to the contrary must have their reasons I guess.
For the first time ever, competitors from four different global regions will compete for world dominance in Splatoon 2. The four four-person teams – ”Deadbeat" from the United States, ”Dynameu" from Japan, ”Rising Moon" from Europe and ”Blue Ringed Octolings" from Australia/New Zealand – defeated their rivals in local tournaments that occurred in recent months.
During the show in Los Angeles, teams will battle in a round-robin Turf War tournament that will decide seeding for the next round. All teams will play one another and get a chance to scope out their opponents' strengths and weaknesses. In the next round, teams will battle in the game's Ranked Battle modes. The semifinal stage will be a best-of-five battle, while the championship will be best-of-seven.
The winning team of the live-streamed tournament will win global bragging rights and will have their names engraved on a sweet Splatoon 2 trophy. Announcers for the Splatoon 2 tournament will be avid Splatoon player, Nintendo fan, athlete and broadcaster Jordan Kent, Ashley Esqueda of CNET and the Nintendo Treehouse's Eric Smith.
This live-streamed ARMS competition will pit four expert competitive gamers from the fighting game community against E3 attendees who qualify during the event. E3 attendees can visit the Nintendo booth between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. PT on Wednesday, June 14, for a chance to win a spot in the finals. The top four competitors will be selected to face off against four pro competitive gamers.
The eight tournament participants will do battle until a champion emerges to win the coveted 2017 ARMS Open Invitational championship belt. Announcers for the tourney include Super Smash Bros. broadcasters D1 and VikkiKitty. The participating pro players are Alex Valle of Street Fighter fame; Kelsy Medeiros, aka SuperGirlKels, a professional Super Smash Bros. for Wii U player hailing from Canada; acclaimed Super Smash Bros. player Daniel ”Tafokints" Lee; and French Super Smash Bros. player Marie-Laure ”Kayane" Norindr, one of the world's most decorated professional female fighting game players in history.
So the whole voice chat app thing makes me think Nintendo will spend a decent chunk of time talking about that at E3. Do we expect that to be during the Spotlight or at some other time during E3? The statements in the OP make it seem like the Spotlight will be 100% focused on games but I don't know for sure...
"Decent chunk of time"? How long would that be for you? I do expect a little talk about the app, since the beta is probably launching with Splatoon 2. But I don't think you'll have to worry that they're gonna waste more than 1~2 minutes on it.

Where did they said that?
They didn't show much of Odyssey.
Yeah I don't see it taking a huge amount of time, if anything a good chuck of it will take up the treehouse when shown.

do you guys think that MHXX will be at the Nintendo Spotlight?
I would think they would spend maybe 5 minutes or so on the app and the paid online service, as well as time showing off the accessories like the Splatoon themed audio splitter. It's not the easiest thing to explain when you haven't discussed it much before.
The question is will it be during the Spotlight, the Treehouse stream, or some other video.
