They're not going to port 3D World. It doesn't make sense. They'd be better off remastering Galaxy/2.
Yeah, it's going to be holiday. They'll do the full reveal at E3.

Yeah, I don't think Mario is too far off, but I don't think it's a launch title. Summer/Fall 2017, I imagine.
They don't need to port anything over anything. They will just port everything that makes financial sense. The Mario game shown doesn't look anything like 3D World. Looks more like a single player game similar to Galaxy and 64. It wouldn't be the first time Nintendo release 2 Mario games in the same year. Especially if one of them is a port I don't see the big issue. Mario 3D World makes sense as it's a huge game that didn't get enough attention. And they can bank on it as a launch title that makes use of the big feature for Switch which is local multiplayer on the portable using the Joy Cons.
Mario Mexico holidays 2017
Mario to launch on 5th May confirmed?

Really, that's news to me, probably because I'm always too hungover to leave the house on the 17th.

Wouldn't it be 5 months, since they already revealed it in the trailer last month?
I dont see them porting over every WiiU title just because it makes financial sense - they probably want people to try out new Switch experiences and play 3rd Party games as well. If at all i would say Mario Maker has a bigger shot being brought over ...and after the Galaxy/64 Type Mario they can work on reintroducing 2D Mario with a new look.
Dont get me wrong - 3D World on Switch would be cool, like many other games but they already have a 3D Mario in place - who knows maybe the new 3D Mario has a multiplayer Mode too.

500$ is my magic number also. This is how launch day is going to go for me.
Walks in Gamestop spends 500$ to 520$. Proceeds to come home.
Wife: Hey, Mike what did you get?
Me: Nintendo Switch, controller, and few games.
Wife: What? How much did you spend!?
Me: around 500$.
Wife: You what!?!?!
Me: I'm a man!!!!
Wife: Say that again!?
Me: The city had the man hole cover off because of all the excess water.
Wife:
Me: look. If yoy want I'll resort to prostitution to make back the money.
Wife: (most likely) Hahaha.. you owe us a family trip now.
Me: No problem. If you want go look up prices and book wherever you want to go.

Great! The 13th is my birthday. I can buy the system and Zelda myself, and then have my fiancé and family buy me extra controllers and games as birthday gifts!
Leaks are needed to generate hype - everyone and their Mom is looking forward to the January event...no matter how much gets leaked before.

I'm glad that i just have to fight with my wife about who plays first.

Ok.. I still don't understand what the other guy/gal meant.
I'm excited by everything I heard but I'm not blind to the other side of the arguement where the leaks left no surprises for some with the reveal and they have no reason to be hype because they almost already know most of it.

I think it depends on what gets leaked.
If she says "3D Mario will be shown at the event" I don't think it will bother anybody.
If she says "Retro is showing Metroid Prime 4, rebooting Star Tropics, Mother 4, Diddy Kong Racing 2, Eternal Darkness 2 and Golden Sun 4 at the January event", then some people might feel some hype deflation lol.
Good thing is atleast we won't see how any games look even if they're leaked.

She knows I'm going to get it no matter what and I know she is aching to travel when school is out for our kids.
I'm expecting every major Wii U game getting ported over 2017 and 2018 which isn't much
Mario Kart 8
Splatoon
Super Mario 3D World
Mario Maker (NSMBU will be part of the package)
Xenoblade X
Zelda HD Collection (WW, TP, SS)
Things like Star Fox, Paper Mario are probably not big enough for ports.
As for remastering Wii games I just expect Virtual Console for GameCube and Wii with HD graphics like PS4 is doing for PS2. We already know NVIDIA Shield TV has GC games running. So a more powerful system with Nintendo working on the emulator shouldn't be hard.

I don't need the games leaked or anything - that'll be a nice surprise - but the sooner we get a price...

3D Mario has been the winter after launch for their last three systems. I doubt it will be that different here.

Between Nier, Ninja Turtles (*shudder*), and Scalebound, I am not sure how a Bayo 3 could exist right now, much less be shown in two months.
You got Granblue and their Matsuno collab. Platinum being on the list of Switch supporters was a big indicator that it was just a list of those with Dev kits and not necessarily people releasing games.
You forgot Smash 4.

You don't get a Zelda and a Mario at launch. Install base is to small for both. Mario will be the Xmas title.
Zelda and some ports of Wii-U games most likely.

Am I the only one that thinks the launch window will have a lot more unannounced/unrevealed games than ports/deluxe versions of Wii U games? I'd expect those ports to come in over the first year, but I doubt we'll see them all at launch. Maybe Smash at launch, but I don't see more than that.
Nintendo usually has some kind of light arcadey first-party game at launch, often (but not always) a new IP. Something like Nintendoland, Pilot Wings, Excite Truck, etc. I imagine we'll get it again.
I doubt there will be more than one Wii U remaster at launch. They will be used to fill gaps in the schedule.

During the Switch lifetime sure - but they wont drop all those ports in the first couple months. They will have to balance out new releases and re-releases. Smash, Splatoon and Mario Kart are hitting in the first 12 months because complete new games in those series wont be ready anytime soon while a new 3D Mario seems to be ready and the team had enough time since 3D World.

Nintendo isn't going to release Zelda and Mario in the same month
Yeah,even if Hashimoto and his team would have started working on it right after Star Fox Zero january would be still too early to see something showed.

I expect in the first year from Nintendo
-Mario Kart Switch
-BotW
-Pikmin 4
-Smash Switch
-Splatoon Switch
-3D Mario
-Retros new game
-New Nintendo IP
-Golden Sun 4 (more of a hope)
-A new game from Next Level Games
-Mario Sports game that's coming to 3DS
- some kind of Pokémon game
And who knows what else. It's hard to guess, but I do feel there will be around 6 brand new original titles for the Switch from Nintendo in the first year. I really do think Kimishima doesn't want this to mess up and Emily even said how NX (back then) would destroy the Wii U's entire lifetime in one year. Now, she may have exaggerated and it probably won't be that, but it should be great because Nintendo has combined handheld and console divisions.

I don't think super Mario 3d world is a launch game, now is Rayman. But just dance is, I'm sure.
I'm thinking they get Mario Kart at launch as it is a huge seller, could be a esports game and is casual friendly. Also allows Mario something to be at launch along with Zelda. It also covers the racing genre. So that is alot of boxes to check off.
I do think there is two Ubisoft games at launch. I think the other is South Park ( seems like it could be easily portable) or For Honor.

Setting the stage for the Greatest Console Launch of All Time*

It's more wishlist-ing than anything else, but that aside...
Do we have any inkling of what Yusuke Hashimoto may be up to, post-Starfox Zero?
I know you meant this as a joke, but it comes off as pretty disrespectful and manipulative. Have integrity and be honest with your wife, man.
Looking forward to buying a Macross and Super Robot Wars game. If/when either is announced.
Gotcha. Thanks! Well, here's hoping. I'd love to play it sooner.

Mario at release is absolutely feasible. They've been working on it for years, and the footage shown displays a lot of specific, polished components in place.
Not saying they will of course, or even if it's likely, but the developmental time frame and the footage shown is realistic for a March release.
New hardware launches are always a sweet spot for publishers looking to push new IPs, simply because people are more willing to gamble on unproven franchises just for something to play. I'd expect Switch to be no different.

Thing is they can't wait to release Ports the longer they wait the older those games are.
And again Wii U games worth porting are not many. I also doubt we will get a new Mario Kart for Switch as Mario Kart 8 seems to be getting remixed enough with system changes like Switching items.
They can easily port all Wii U games withing 2 years
2017
Smash Bros
Mario Kart
Mario 3D World
Splatoon
2018
Xenoblade X
Zelda HD Collection
Donkey Kong Country Returns 1 + 2
Bayonetta 1 + 2
The other Wii U games are not popular enough to port such as Captain Toad, Star Fox or Paper Mario. Also Mario Maker doesn't need a port they can build on that and make a Mario Maker 2.
As for balancing between ports and new games we can have
2017
Zelda BotW
Pikmin 4
Super Mario 128
AmiiBo Skylanders rip off
2018
Fire Emblem Warriors
Metroid
Retro New IP
Mario Maker 2
4 New big games from Nintendo per year and 4 enhanced ports.
Dia de la Mario? Definitely!
