Nintendo Spotlight Presentation (their E3 conference) to be 30 Minutes in length
- Thread starter Nbz

Well, considering it's Bandai Namco on top of that, is pretty telling.
My theory is that the less time an E3 direct lasts, the better it is.
So this one is going to be great : P.

Nice.
Or they can just do as lots of other announcements and add the Switch randomly to the mix later before the release.

Hope it's real but I have my doubts.
Yes
I hope many will see the issue here without saying it is just me being pessimistic
People need to come to grips that #MetroidIsDead
They simply don't care about the franchise anymore. Probably haven't for longer than that
Oh shit. Pikmin. <3
Hey! Pikmin isn't a standard Pikmin game, so I don't feel it's as saturated as some are implying.
I'm interested to see how they would handle a Smash port.

In before somebody says Hey Pikmin.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Crash was dead. Bubsy was dead. Nothing is really "dead" in this industry these days.
Wait, has that changed within the last year or so? Nico Nico estimated times have always been fairly inaccurate from my experience, not 1-2 minutes off.
Hmm, 93 and beyond seem to be old stuff. I wonder if these are just old placeholders.
Breath of Fire, Wild Arms, Suikoden and many more... ARE dead : /.
I honestly hope we don't get Smash in any way, shape or form. I'm already skipping ARMS because having Puyo Puyo, Mario Kart and Splatoon will overfill my multiplayer quota for this year. I need me some single player games.
In the event that we do get Smash news, I really hope it's slated for a mid-2018 release because I'd probably get it in that case.

I almost think it'll be half Mario, half everything else. I mean they've said it'll focus on Mario, we've seen with other Directs that focus on a title that that's roughly the split, and we know that when everyone thinks Nintendo are keeping secrets, they are in reality being totally honest and showing their entire hand. Why do people think its different this time?
It is when the company behind the series doesn't know how to make games in the series anymore.
These are all games that were formally announced for Switch, though.
You need to leave. Pikmin is a class act in game/level design. One of my all time favorite franchises.

It's you as always.
I saw pessimistic people in my life, but you you are clearly over the top.
What's your point? All of these are upcoming Switch games, if anything this adds credibility.
Nice find. Not sure how long they've had that but there was some euro retailer that had the same listing some months ago, along with "Rabbid Invasion" and "AC Egypt". Whether the name is real, I'd bet on a new Pikmin being on the way.

Pikmin World was leaked earlier this year by a Dutch retailer so its pretty likely that it will show up this year. Smash Switch has been rumored forever too. I can't really tell how old those listings are since they are sandwiched in between previously announced games.
If those listings for Pikmin World and Smash Bros are legit and not some intern making shit up, then when do you expect them to release? I think Pikmin could release this year, perhaps start of October or something, and I think Smash would be a great title to continue the lineup in 2018, so somwehere in the first half of 2018.
actually, you are proving his/her point
Those seem old, from around the January reveal.
1-2-Switch

Redout:

Arms:

So those images were added all before the boxarts for Arms, 1-2 Switch and before Redout got listed. That happened several months ago. So nothing recent. They were added based on rumours floating around from Eurogamer and LKD. Other retailers did the same.
Yeah, I can see Pikmin for early October, FEW late October and then Mario for the Holidays.
Smash would be great next Feb or March to keep momentum going out of the holidays.

Aw yiss Pikmin. Hope it's true.
Man, if there is a new Pikmin, apart from feeling vindicated, I'm going to be the happiest Switch owner. Now there's an underrated franchise that represents Nintendo at its best in terms of game design and creativity. 3 was probably a top-5 Wii U game, I have no doubts having another one on the go would be absolute bliss.
Come on Nintendo make it so. I just hope the World thing doesn't mean it's a spinoff or something.

I didn't realize EG or others had started the Pikmin World rumor.
Yeah, I think LKD says a new Pikmin was coming, but it wasn't going to be called Pikmin 4.

I bet both would be next year. I'll be disappointed if Smash isn't this year, but I'd bet they launch it with their online service. Once I saw that was delayed to next year, my hopes for Smash in 2017 pretty much died
I guess I'll have to keep turning on the Wii U for now lol.

People hating on Pikmin. Smh
Both would be 2018 titles. Pikmin in maybe January or February, Smash in March alongside the paid online.
Apart from maybe smaller downloadable titles and known-but-unnanounced titles like MarioxRabbids I think we know all the Nintendo-related releases for the rest of 2017.
Wow you're right...............................
and that image is old af.
And I really doubt that Pikmin World thing is real.

I just want to see a Smash Bros trailer with Bomberman crashing in at the end. Lost hope of Retro Studio announcement.

Every time someone says that they hate Pikmin, an angel loses its wings.
There's been three console Pikmin games in 16 years.
The last one was four years ago.
So that post doesn't make much sense.
People with good taste.
