I'm curious what games we can expect from Nintendo next year. They have announced a lot of games though a few we have no idea when they coming. Yoshi, kirby, fire emblem, metroid, Pokemon. We also know that games like pikmin and animal crossing are on the horizon. Retro must be getting close to releasing a game and then there is smash bros as well.
I think 2018 might end up blowing away their lineup this year.

Nintendo's not going to release any game in 2018 after Q1 2018 by that logic. They haven't shown footage of games releasing after that at all.
Why, though? We're halfway through 2017, more than a year could certainly be 2018.
Making a lot of assumptions there. They're going from 240p to 720p on non-Pokemon assets. They're using an entirely different engine as well.
If Metroid Prime 4 is 2018...then that'll be their 'booth' game next year at E3.

Pokemon I can somewhat believe. The new metroid though? I doubt it. Especially considering they had absolutely nothing to show off. I mean the same can be said with Pokemon, but GF has a track record off pumping out games like crazy plus we have evidence that they've at least been recruiting for the new game since before it was revealed.

We got Black and White then the sequels. A year later we got X/Y

I literally do not believe this at all.
It's not like they have any benefits from lying in this case so why even lie?

Eh I don't see it but I guess. They had no problem showing a title for metriod and putting 2018 for Kirby and yoshi
I also don't think that game them enough time to work on a Pokémon built for switch but perhaps I'm thinking to big for the title

Okay Nintendo, I see you. I believe Reggie.
I wouldn't. Not with the anime's progression as it is.
There is no way in hell they're jumping to a new device in the middle of a Pokémon generation. That is not happening and people need to stop expecting that to happen.

It took them 3 years to make Sun/Moon. I don't know if they could crank out an HD game in just 2 years.
I wonder why they wouldn't say it was Next Level if this is the case.

Holy shit if true
Another 2 GOTY candidates for Nintendo in 2018?
Pokemon, if they use the BOTW engine, my jaw will drop on the floor. It's got the perfect artistic style for Pokemon imo.

Of course it won't.
They announced Fire Emblem for 2018 with nothing to show.

Welp, we got the first trailer of ARMS, Splatoon 2 and Mario less than one year before release, this can be true. MEGATON, Next E3 is going to be Metroid theme and is going to be amazing. 2018

If they do then Nintendo won't be able to make enough Switches. People are gonna go nuts.

I think it will. We know it's been in development a while.

That is already a very impressive 2018 lineup. It's good that we can look forward to so many great games for the Switch next year. E3 makes me comfortable about me buying the Switch later this year.
Gen 4 Remake perhaps?
That's never mattered before - we got Sun&Moon titles less than a year before they came out. Title is like the least important part anyway.

2 years since Omega Ruby
Pokémon Sun and Moon got a logo reveal and came out in the same year
Notice that I didn't specify WHICH zelda
This is something that happens with EVERY SINGLE ZELDA

We *could* get another game set in Alola or even gen IV remakes next spring. Why does it have to be the 8th generation?
They just released a flagship new IP which was only announced five months ago.

They said new core title I would hope it's not a remake

No way Metroid Prime is coming in 2018, it'll be the crown gem of 2019 without a doubt though. Pokemon 2018 is quite likely though.
Why technically? They only showed a title saying "Fire Emblem" and "2018" and that's it. The same thing as Metroid but with a year and not even something aking to the space zoom in to the S like Metroid had.

No way. I mean, I hope so, but no way.

Who says it has to be a new generation? It could be an HD remake for all we know.
Game Freak has said they've been working on Switch games for a long time now, at least dating back to last year if not much earlier. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Stars on Switch was actually in the works for a while just in case the sales of the Switch didn't take off like Nintendo had hoped.
Now, I don't think we should expect a brand new 1080p built-from-the-ground-up Switch Pokemon game in 2018 but something serviceable could easily be done.

There is no way Metroid is coming out next year, if that was true, we would have seen some trailer, or CG trailer, or whatever at this past E3. no way

He didn't mention Smash Bros. for 2018 when listing the heavy hitters for next year.

Nintendo doesn't really announce games early. They're not SE.
Not seeing the skepticism.
What if they use Unreal Engine 4?
