I thought they would wait to release Smash with the online service.

What happened to the rumor that the game was translated and sitting on shelf somewhere? Was it debunked?

Smash 4 Deluxe at EVO!
He is probably referring to a smaller scale game I think. Maybe something akin to Snipperclips.

...hate me...
Announce it at EVO and a Smash Switch Direct for the following day/week. Done.
I can see some indie announcements and maybe a few third party games, but that is going to be it. If we're lucky, maybe VC by the end of the year.
I think the first party lineup for the rest of the year is set (July Splatoon 2, Aug. Mario and Rabbids, Sept. Pokken, Oct. SMO, Nov. is likely Fire Emblem Warriors, and Dec. is likely Xenoblade 2).

The DLC isn't that relevant as most of that was developed after Smash released anyway. But a big reason I don't think there'll be a port is cos the game was also released on 3DS, which Nintendo still view as a 'current' platform.
But maybe it's wishful thinking, cos I don't think Smash 4 was a particularly good game. I want that fast and light feeling from Melee back!
Yeah I would really love this, the first party library of Wii U is very impressive. I haven't owned Nintendo home console since 64 and handheld since the first version of DS, seriously looking into getting the Switch. Would love to play those excellent Wii U games.
Switch Animal Crossing probably won't even start development until after Splatoon 2 releases
For the sake of national security, they shouldn't. You will see people killing themselves on the streets to get a Switch at this rate.

Just cause they can throw a curve ball. They'll announce Star Tropics
Overwatch with Zero-suit Samus as an extra waifu character?
but really, probably it will just be Diablo 3 with all the expansions.
They know Mario Odyssey will be enough. But they still have smaller releases like Fire Emblem Warriors and Xenoblade 2 to release.
If Animal Crossing was being released it would've been shown at E3.
I do hope something happens. I'm definitely feeling that launch lull. I've played what I care to play so far. No interest in ARMS, Disgaea, Cave Story, or several others either because I've already played them to death or just have no interest.
I'd kill to have access to some SNES classics on this thing. Stinks that NEO GEO titles are the only older games we've got for the foreseeable future.
Not even a good indication of small titles coming in the next few months. Not having VC ready for launch feels like a mistake.

Skyrim Switch will be the tentpole November release. It would be the perfect spot for DKC Tropical Freeze port though...
I am certain Smash is 2018, and I also think the ship has sailed on it being a fairly straightforward port of 4. It's one of their four mega IPs (next to Mario Kart, 2D Mario and Pokemon) so I see no reason why they wouldn't want to go all out with Smash 5 on a system people actually care about this time around.

"And it's available... right... now."
I could imagine the riots. It would be glorious.

He didn't say it was for 2017
I would be happy with a portable D3
But if Blizzard comes to Switch it might just be Hearthstone instead, which is already on phones :/

Switch Sports will release in November, just in time for holiday family fun.
That release was a complete disaster. Why would anyone want a repeat?

It's been out for so long that there's no way they would C&D the fan translation
I'm not saying Mother 3 is getting translated, but that's not a good reason to assume it isn't
I'm personally hoping for a 3D Donkey Kong platformer.

Tropical Freeze Switch port
Smash Switch port
Either Animal Crossing or Luigis Mansion.

You really think they would need 4 years for that?

The real question is can Nintendo's logistic department ship that many consoles if they announce just one heavy hitter more this year

Its actually kinda the second person to confirm Metroid and Pokemon as 2018 titles. There honestly isn't much reason to believe they are lying. Even if they don't release by holiday 2018 it confirms to me that both games have been in development for a while.
