This has controlled leak written all over it.
1) Trev is convinced his friend won't get fired.
2) The list shows budgetary stuff, none of which is huge news but at least shows fans Nintendo is putting money into promotion.
3) Confirms a system is coming this year, which most people knew.
4) Confirms new games but has them under codename so it doesn't spoil a surprise.

You'll get it at E3 2016 and you'll like it!

Interesting information. Really like to have a Nintendo Direct soon, or an NX reveal. If it's launching his year I'd expect an announcemen in the next 2 months.

Metroid Prime: Federation Force
Still not canceled?

Be interesting to see how Metroid looks when we next see it, like if they've changed it at all in reaction to the backlash.
It's probably Caviar F.

I suspect they have, but am worried about what exactly to. Whatever it is, I hope there's a good single player component to it.

Yeah, Federation Force is literally the only game on Nintendo's E3 site that we haven't actually seen since E3.
I can only hope that N-Stars is a port/remake of the first three Paper Mario games, with full 3D effect and online battles in the first two games. It will have amiibo support to change Mario's costume, all of which will also be available in-game as collectibles or new side quests rewards. There will be new dungeons and levels, more partners/pixls and many more improvements, such as Miiverse integration and the possibility to create your own dungeons.
A man can dream, right?

Hopefully not, it looked interesting to me.
I have faith in this game.
I mean, i really enjoyed Metroid Prime Hunters on the DS (multiplayer was fun). Federation Force cannot be worse than that.
This.
But when did Nintendo do controlled leaks ever?

It's probably information that is widely spread within Nintendo, so that's why they don't worry about his/her job.

Well, sort of. Both were just enhanced versions of the original N64 game, just one was a bit more enhanced than the other.
Why would they cancel it? Because man babies threw a temper tantrum online?

They do have brand new leadership who seems adamant about making changes in the company.

Except that codenames are sensitive subject. Do you really think that a "controlled leak" would throw something important and tied to NDA like this?
Because they didn't like what they saw, which is more than enough to want a game canceled. I wish the new Doom game gets canceled too, I don't like the fact that the title is the same as that of the original game. Same deal with Pokken: no Vaporeon, no game.
Looking at this, I'm glad I sold my 3DS. There's nothing in the list that I want.
Zelda Wii U confirmed for NX then. Good. Very good.
Make Metroid 5 a launch title for the NX and I'll be there day one for you, Nintendo. Get Mass Effect Andromeda and online multiplayer free as well, and you can have my body too.

So they pulled a Twilight Princess, a year of delay to port the game on another platform instead of actual polish (TP always rubbed me the wrong way with the empty field, barren kakariko village, barely any side quests, gutted magic system, etc).

Because its a waste of time and money. This project has bomba written all over it. I dont see any good aspect in this game, either commercially or artistically. The angry people which you call man babies are the audience for the Metroid IP. If the only people interested in the Metroid IP gives no shit, then you can bet sth isnt going well.
I dont call for cancellation, but I could see why such a game could be cancelled or reworked.

It's just like in the movie "Machete", where Machete insists that "Machete don't text", only to text the villain a little later, saying "Machete improvises" afterwards.
They "improvise", they "learn".

Even with a reskin I'm not exactly thrilled with the idea of a linear, level-based Metroid game. In other words, a Metroid game that literally by design is not a Metroid game. And that aspect of the game I highly doubt will change.
I don't think it would have been delayed 18 months just for a port. For comparison's sake, the delay for TP came a couple of months before its release date.

Apples and oranges. People were disappointed with 3D World because the levels on display in the first trailer were bland, and made it look like a retread of 3D Land. No one thought it looked bad, would be bad, or would flop, just that at first glance it was underwhelming. Most people's problems with Federation Force are on a much deeper, more fundamental level.
At best they would remove the Metroid branding if it does more harm than good, but the game itself exists because it's part of Nintendo's experiments with online games.
Federation Force isn't "hey let's make a Metroid game, what are the options"
It's "hey we want to make an online co-op game, use Metroid skins for increased sales potential"
The timing and source of the reversed SS theme song was very suspicious in 2011 leading up to E3. It was uploaded on some random youtube account with no previous history.

What I really hope is Next Level not taking the full blow if the game we get is exactly the same and not been reworked in all this time. Because like it or not, is going to be more bomba that Codename Steam.
The fault lies here in Kensuke Tanabe, that fails to grasp what a Metroid game needs to feel when its showed (like trying to explain after the backlash that Samus appeared in the game as that would make it a real metroid. Thats not the fucking problem Tanabe)
Im not saying the galactic federation idea is a bad one, in fact I LOVE IT, but the implementation was horrible and looks artistically like a budget mobile game.
The game looked artisitically horrible. But thats not the game's main problem, its only one of them. Its the gameplay they showed what seems incredibly mediocre. At the end of the day, you cant compare it with WW. WW was artistically good, but people were waiting a completly other thing after the GC test demo they showed, and thats why they were "crying". The game never looked meciocre for a gameplay standpoint in any of the trailers. Thats why when it was released, the perception totally cyhanged. Same with Super mario 3d world.

Why? It would be the first "current gen" console Zelda in 13 years. Well, except for it's cross-gen and we don't really know the NX specs. But close enough.
Skyward Sword was five years ago...
The Wii U was a colossal disaster, of course things would be different than is typical.

And I guess you missed what I meant by "current gen".

So, if the NX is coming this year, how many will trade in their WII U towards the pre-order of the NX and how many will keep the Wii U?

I really think they should wait for an actual 3d field gameplay revamp before doing that. The current "3d tiles" style would probably result in a very disappointing remake with a Kanto that would feel fairly empty and blocky, since they'd probably just convert the existing tiles to 3d, like what happened in most of Omega Ruby.
I like to keep my consoles
It's also possible that the NX will not be backwards compatible, it's still a great console with great games
I really hope those announced titles look good, because pretty much the only titles on that line up I'm planning on picking up are ports otherwise (DQs, HWL).
What are we thinking for N-Stars? New Mario Kart with other Nintendo characters/MK style racer billed as a seperate crossover title or a sports game of some kind? Hoping it's the former tbh.

NX coming this year? I mean not only the platform but also an hardware tied to it... and it seems to be a console since OP says Zelda U is coming on it. Well I would be very surprised by a 2016 release for a new home console.
Actually I'm ok to put some crow in the fridge just in case because I still don't believe you OP.
The rest is more or less obvious or at least very very plausible.

I actually hope this is exactly what it is. We need an actual Amiibo game. And I'm sure it will be on Wii U and NX as well.
3DS lineup seems good. Strong titles all throughout the year. Pokemon for Holidays makes sense.
Zelda NX of course is obvious.

Initial trailer for The Wind Waker showed no typical Zelda gameplay and was basically focused on two things: stealth mechanics and whimsical animations. There was no overworld traversal and no puzzle solving, and that trailer rubs me, a huge fan of The Wind Waker who haven't seen it back then, the wrong way.
Seems like people expecting NX version of Zelda Wii U to be a huge reworking and not a quick game port as TP Wii, for no apparent reason.
NoA still has Reggie at charge AFAIK? That Nintendo Japan would allow a NOA to make a controlled leak to a YouTuber (with a pretty low audience) just because Kimishima becomes the new CEO, is that even plausible?
According to this video, he claims that "People at Nintendo, them themselves are the biggest Nintendo fans. Since the passing of Saturo Iwata, communication has been difficult and less organized than every before. So, it has been really hard for them as a company. Nintendo is changing, basically bed(?) a new starting point. So, this information is something like a gift to the Nintendo fans that have been anxiously, patiently trying to wait the best they can for some kind of information, some kind of news about Nintendo's future and the NX going forward."
They employees are fans of the company, but are frustrated on how little the public knows (in a company with a huge history of secrecy) and decides to leak things as a gift to fans? To me, this approach doesn't make any sense for any kind of business.

What is technologically feasible and reasonable to expect in that time window. And that does not include a console that is close to an order of magnitude less powerful than the competition.
By your definition, Nintendo could release a smartwatch powered console and it would still be part of the current gen by virtue of chronology.
But anyway, this is semantics. You know damn well what I meant.
Xbox 360 was already out.

Still, they are part of NDA. I don't see anyone in the industry breaking a NDA for a promotional stunt.
