If you go to the Best Buy site and open the Splatoon 2 cover art in a new tab, and change the last two digits of the url, you can find these.
If those leaks are true 2018 is empty...
Nintendo Switch, the console without games.
I'll say it.
WHO CARES ABOUT PIKMIN?
I'll say it.
WHO CARES ABOUT PIKMIN?
Really don't think he's teasing W102 or whatever.
I guess it's not my first pick, but Pikmin 3 was super good. Don't think the Pikmin team would make an F-Zero or a Kid Icarus either.I don't hate Pikmin... but I wouldn't say I'm a fan of the franchise. I bought Pikmin on the GCN the week of release. It looked great, had an interesting concept... but I just couldn't connect with the gameplay. I'm not going to say it's a bad game, but I felt like it was too frustrating at times. I haven't played a Pikmin game since. But Pikmin 3 supposedly bombed, and we are now getting TWO more Pikmin games? Instead of reviving old franchises or pushing new ones, they are going back to the Pikmin well. F-Zero, Kid Icarus, and Metroid are dead while the Pikmin are dancing on their graves.
I'll say it.

It's you as always.
I saw pessimistic people in my life, but you you are clearly over the top.
I'll say it.

Actually, there is already a good Pikmin game, Pikmin 3. I would wish Nintendo would concentrate on a series that hasn't got a good entry for atleast 10 years...

Unfortunately, that's not how businesses work.

Pikmin world would be dope
Smash not that much
BTW seeing the new Dragon Ball fighting announced for everything but switch is sooooo bad for Switch third party support
I mean it is no destiny..it is a Japanese Bandai anime licensed 2.5d fighting game...
And switch will get the old port of the previous episode months later at full price
Situation is terribad
Looks like some place holder based on old rumor?

No, that's your usual hyper-ventilation / jumping to awful conclusions that gave you your reputation on this forum.
It seems that many of you here forgot how Japanese transitions to new consoles happen: they are slow and some kind of games take a while to go full speed on a brand new platform. Heck, we're talking about Bandai Namco, right? Well, a major game like Tales of Zestiria (mainline Tales of game) was released in Japan on January 22nd, 2015. And it was a PS3 exclusive. Was that a sign that Namco was not going to support PS4? Hello no, they were going to support the platform and they're certainly doing it even right now. Also, Bandai Namco has already games planned for the platform, presumably coming out before March 2018. Including a Taiko and a Tales of. Both important franchises for the company. We'll have to see what kind of Tales of we're talking about, but Namco has games planned for the platform and we should not start dooming because something is not released on it - it can happen at the early stage of a brand new system.
With Japanese third parties, my personal advice is to have patience. This is what most of you are lacking right now. Patience. As time goes by, provided hardware sales are still good / great and the software environment is healthy, you will see Japanese companies supporting the platform. PS4's Japanese initial support was unquestionably horrible, so much that even if we don't count Taiko and Fire Emblem Warriors (it's a 3rd party game in Japan), Switch's first year has already as much Japanese third party games as PS4 did in the same period. Again, history teaches us that Japanese companies are more prudent and less prone to support new platforms right from the get go, especially when their success is unproven.
So, again, be patient, and you'll see the games coming. If the current conditions stay like this, the platform is DESTINED to have support. Especially considering how, contrary to the 3DS, this is a console that is selling very well everywhere, not just in Japan.
Everyone, relax, take a deep breathe and don't go chicken little for every Japanese game not coming to the platform. Stop Aostia-ing / Oregano-ing. Peace.
I wouldn't say Kid Icarus is dead when it got an instalment on 3DS. That's hardly a dead franchise.

Retailers tend to know this stuff long before the public.
why don't you make one?Someone should make a thread

Someone already did, and it got locked. These were filed around the January presentation, so they're not really E3 indications, probably just based on rumours.Someone should make a thread

Well.. Pikmin 3 wasn't really selling like hot cakes either
Really taking things personally, aren't we? We're here to discuss Nintendo having a 25-30 minute conference in here. This stuff is pretty fair game in the discussion.
Everybody can have their own style, sure, but it's really annoying when it's arbitrarily different, and clearly less appealing to a lot of fans. We wouldn't have this thread if people weren't a bit upset.
Man... Nintendo-GAF used to be such a fun place to be a part of.
Just to say it again, because I feel like many other supposed "Pikmin haters" agree with me:
I don't hate Pikmin, nor would I not want to see another one. I'd be happy to get another Pikmin. I'd just be WAY happier to get a new entry from a ton of other Nintendo franchises first, ones that have been dormant for way longer. Metroid, F-Zero, a console Animal Crossing, etc.
Pikmin isn't really a franchise that the Switch needs right now IMO. If they want to keep knocking it out of the park and making people want the system, I don't think Pikmin is the series that'll make people do that. I don't really think it's a series that casuals or lost Nintendo fans really give a shit about. Those are the people Nintendo are trying to attract right now. Pikmin is pretty fuckin' niche, and again, Pikmin 3 isn't that old. I'd take a port over a new one, knowing a port wouldn't eat up nearly as many resources.

If a new Pikmin doesn't excite you, you have no soul.

Ok but the team that makes Pikmin wouldnt be making Metroid so why not both?
I could ask you the same thing, how do you know they would? Wouldnt the Pikmin team be working on...Pikmin?How do you know? They have a pretty eclectic history of development according to wikipedia. New Super Mario Bros, Mario Maker, Yoshi's Touch and Go, etc. Based on that (and Pikmin 3), who knows.
