Nintendo Spotlight Presentation (their E3 conference) to be 30 Minutes in length

It's true. I guess it depends on what Nintendo thinks is best for Metroid. Shooting for what fans love? Or going for something different to revitalize the franchise?
I know it's a joke at this point, and a pipedream, but I could really see a From Metroid game being fucking awesome - something in that style.
I think Platinum would get too glitzy with it. Metroid should be Nintendo's dark horse, it should be difficult, dark, creepy, Dead Space-ish crossed with some action and weapon-upgrade system that Metroid fans know and love.
But what if they have 3 different spotlights ready to go and they're just waiting for Kimishima's approval to use the extra-spicy one.
"Surprise"
I think this E3's been better to the Switch than I thought it'd be, even though it's still disappointing considering how much isn't coming to it.
I hope tomorrow is at least decent. I'm not going to hype my expectations. I just want to come away from it feeling good. I normally don't really feel disappointed at E3 regardless of announcements. The MH:W thing actually did hit me which I find surprising. Mainly because even if the Switch gets anything new it's going to be years away now assuming it ever comes. This is Capcom after all and how they've been handling the Switch causes me to have no faith in them at all. So I want tomorrow to at least lift me from the spot I'm at now. Then again some sleep could do it to.

I want to hear about stuff from the following studios:
- FromSoftware
- Retro Studio
- Platinum

As a multi year Nintendo E3 hype survivor, this year has been absolutely anemic in comparison. Probably less because there isn't much to expect, and more because we aren't desperately clinging to each other chanting "this will be the year wii u turns around!"
I've been having trouble sleeping for nights. Not really about excitement. Just it is so damn hot and I'm lethargic all day and bothered/restless all night...

I've been quite happy with this E3. Tons of software I'm planning to pick up.

So can we say Rabbids isn't one of their new announcements? Cause Ubisoft showed a LOT of that game and I don't think there's anything Nintendo would put out in the Spotlight that wasn't already shown at Ubisoft.

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
Before I go to bed, I must say one more prayer:
Let's find the key we've lost
As all the people cry in vain
Just try to live your life
The endless sky where I can fly
Tell me what you're thinking
Tell me what's your way
The end is always here
This world locked up in a war
There's a voice that saves your heart and my soul
The sun goes down with all my faults
So where's your feeling
And where is your life?
All the clouds, hang dark
No one is ever seen
Oh, this world locked up in a war
Amen

I'm gonna make a safe bet and say we'll see none of these tomorrow
Oh jeez the prayers

Well thank God this is early tomorrow morning so we don't have to wait all day just to be (potentially) disappointed. If it's fantastic, then we have a whole day of excitement. If it's bad, we can still salvage the day IRL.

I don't expect anything out of this other than Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, ARMS, and maybe some quick Battle Kingdom recaps from today's announcement. Nintendo seems to have a focus on 2017 right now, and we aren't going to get a new AC game this year, or any Smash Bros, 4 Deluxe or otherwise.
It seems to me that Nintendo would just rather keep following their own schedule and announce games via Direct when development is close to wrapping up.

At least you and the Spotlight have something in common.

Nintendo always talks about showing games for the current year, but pretty much always shows at least one game that isn't.

Want to make a bet on whether we'll see at least one thing in that post or not?

I told my manager that I'll work in the office half day just so I could watch the presentation. There better be megatons later Ninty. By megatons I mean Animal Crossing... Please, please, please...
Lol yep, no AC.
It's an Ubisoft game, with Ubisoft publishing in at least one region of the world with Ubisoft Day 1 Pre-order goodies that was revealed at the Ubisoft E3 Conference using Nintendo IP.
If anything, I expect some gameplay under the 3rd party sizzle reel and some screentime during Treehouse Live.
Seeing as we know most of what's coming I strongly feel like whatever they show from Retro will determine how people react to the whole thing.
-Retro no-show: Where were the surprises? Where was retro? What has Nintendo been doing?
-Retro making DKCR 3 or a party game or a remaster: Disappointing show, we already knew about almost everything, Retro are being wasted!
-Retro new IP: Great show, Retro redeemed, Mario looks great, life is wonderful.
-Retro making Metroid: Aaaaaaaaaaahhhh nintendo won e3 aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

I snagged a ton of copies of Federation Force for cheap to make my own version of this, hold tight

I hope Nintendo gives us a little taste of Zelda DLC 2. I want to see what I spent $20 on.
I think we get one more thing or something but it won't be any of those four....even though I have a bet that Metroid will appear....soooo

There's no way Nintendo can't see this. I mean...right?
You know a Retro no-show would make me despair a bit, not going to lie. It just should be high time they showed, it feels.
I'll also be a bit despondent if they don't show something that speaks to me. They've never let me down at turning out core, single player content. I hope they continue in that vein, whatever IP is involved.

If it won't be any of those, you've got nothing to lose, yeah?

Sony's show was a hour long and it felt rushed. God i hope nintendo knows what they are doing with thier 30 min direct.

Yeah, this about sums it up.

Personally still hoping Retro complete their DK trilogy.
But all I need from Nintendo is Mario gameplay tomorrow.

I do agree with your conclusion, but
your memory fails you
Can't wait to see what games Autodesk has planned for the Switch.
But seriously, I'm pretty excited to see what Nintendo is up to. There are so many things I want on the Switch, they have the potential to really knock it out of the park tomorrow.
Man, you'd hope so, but it's Nintendo, so...
Their track record is pretty much unblemished.
And I'm just a bit surprised that people don't expect to see their game, as we know that they wrapped work on DKC:TF in 2013 (despite it launching in 2014), so they've had the best part of 4 years to get ready. Yes they helped out on some MK8 tracks, but that's work for the artists to do while their game is in preproduction.
By all accounts, they SHOULD be ready for this.
Of all the fake leaks, Pilotwings + Wave Race was the one where I said, 'Holy shit I hope that's true.' A classic 'I didn't know I wanted that but I do' kind of gig.
They spent 15 minutes showing DLC. It was the contrary of rushed. It was a drag.

% chance of a metroid teaser?

I just want to see Retros game, I don't think they're gonna show to much off tomorrow as the main focus is gonna be on oddessey.
Those are my last hopes too, since Splinter Cell didnt show up today
Only other game is a No More Heroes 3 trailer will make me happy if none of those show up
00.00%
I'd say 10%.
I'd put the chance of a Retro teaser at about 70% though. I just don't think they're making Metroid given all the issues the series has had over the last decade and Retro's success with DK.
I will go full skypunch if this happens. Don't doubt me, I do meltdowns properly.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Also when you revealed(and already came out with) games like 3D mario and zelda, and even the "hope gets made" games like xenoblade 2, its kinda hard to predict what nintendo will even reveal, theres always a chance that yes, F-zero could be in development, but its more likely that F-zero will stay in the vault, you never know with nintendo.
Fixed that for you
