It's more than likely going to be a fighting game of some sort. An English Miiverse post described it as an "action-fighting game", and the Japanese version of that post used a term that's specifically used for competitive games with larger character rosters like Smash Bros. and Guilty Gear.

I don't think I get this.

Nintendo Versus! Seems like they are actually trying to create their own E-Sports scene

But but he predicted a Super Mario booth who could have guessed that!
Everytime someone posts this, the Spotlight gets reduced by 5 minutes.
At the moment we will be refunded 50 minutes of our lifes once the spotlight starts as it's at a negative 50 minutes already.

Seems to be a missing game on the left hand side of the twitter banner. Perhaps reserved for Smash?

RE: Pilotwings + Waverace.... Would Nintendo really make another game set on Wuhu Island?
That whole concept sounds awful to me frankly.
Man what I would do for a new Pilot Wings... Ugh..
This made it sound like BS to me tbh. Not believing it for a sec really.
Also that Esports Twitter only looks like it's for E3 week. I'm take it more seriously if they announce something serious after E3 haha.
Edit: Nvm saw something else on the Twitter page.
"Welcome to @NintendoVS! Follow us for updates regarding Nintendo competitive events, starting with our #E32017 tournaments, June 13-14."
Sounds like it'll last longer to me.

I dunno though. Getting the monitor count right is really really hard to guess. 20 some monitors for Mario Odessy
Did the photos confirm 20-something monitors in total? (Unless you are being facetious, forgive me if I'm not catching it, battling an illness.)
Even if the leak was accurate, there is no guarantee it would encompass everything to be announced at the Spotlight, in PR, or at Treehouse, since there wouldn't necessarily be a booth for some games that are announced but not playable.

I think that 4chan leak is fake. I know alot of people are already calling it but here are my reasons.
1. The leak makes it sound like the set up is ready but the pictures make it seem like they're just starting and the leak was put up yesterday morning.
2. No mention of amiibo in the leak even though the pictures have a banner for amiibo.
Of course the pictures could've been taken way before hand and we only recently got them but I think amiibo being absent from the leak is a pretty big contradiction.

we'll probably see a Mario sports announced.
either Superstar port, Ultra Tennis Smash Switch, or Mario & Sonic imo.
I think AC will be announced in a fall direct so I don't see it happening Tues.
I could see Luigi's Mansion3 announced Tuesday for 2018 tho.
As far as retro? Man....I still think New adventure IP but shooting is not the main thing.

I hope to Christ it's fake. Please let it be fake. Please.
I agree AC will be announced in the Fall alongside the mobile game. I really, truly hope you are right about Luigi's Mansion 3 because I am endlessly eager to see the continued adventures of Polterpup but...I'm trying not to get my hopes up!
I think its fake, but I don't get the consternation if it was real- that leak is about stuff on the show floor. There could very well be other, 2018 titles unveiled that do not have a show floor presence.
Took the words right out of my...keyboard. I don't think there's any cause for concern if it's real, even if it only reveals new titles I personally have no interest in.
The other thread has corroborated some of this...I especially hope the TMS port and Sin & Punishment things are true, especially S&P developed by Platinum.
Corroborated by the monitor count or something else? (No snark, sincerely asking.)
You three, get out!
Pikmin would steal the show for me. Even more than Mario.

Which thread, and what has been corroborated?
Some midtier first party game in a franchise will be announced imo. It's just hard to say which.
If Paper Jam didn't exist I could see M&L, but no. Same for Paper Mario if Color Splash didn't exist.
LM3 seems possible. Heck, even if it's not announced now I feel confident in saying it's a 2018 game regardless. It just seems the right timing.
I would say Pikmin 4 but Hey Pikmin exists and hasn't come out yet
Yoshi just got the 3DS game
Kirby (probably above mid tier but anyway) is getting a lot this year and last year so I don't see it
Star Fox is dad
I'm probably missing a few notable ones, but LM3 stood out from the rest.
Pikmin is my killer app, like it was for the Wii U.
Yeah, that's it really. Granted that leak seems pretty reasonable, and I'm not counting it as gospel yet. This thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=239796401&postcount=20
S&P by Platinum would be incredible if that's real. I would be okay with another year of no Metroid if we got that.
So far the only "corroboration" had been that Nintendo's booth is New Donk City themed, which everyone already guessed.
A man with fine taste I see.
I'm with you guys. Pikmin will excite me to no end. (But I don't expect it yet.)
I think they mean: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1388357
One poster mentioned it corroborates the monitor count in the leak but I'm haven't been able to check if that is accurate.
Let's see...
I think M&L is coming, right? I assume SSDX is a full remake using the 3DS engine so AlphaDream has probably mainly been working on that.
LM3, I agree 2018 makes sense, in fact I was surprised never to see a 3DS sequel given its stellar sales. Fingers crossed though I don't expect to see much of anything slated beyond a year from now.
Agreed on Pikmin...and Yoshi...
Kirby has the (maybe mainline?) 3DS game coming end of the year so I presume that's the main Kirby project we'll see next week or sometime soon after (only reason it might not be shown next week is that the last two Kirby games for HH were shown only a few months before release IIRC).
Star Fox's dad is James I believe

Can someone tell me the page the leaks are on or give a summery of them?
I'm out commuting so can't read each page.

There was no photo. Just the comment from the first post as well, confirming the 20 some monitors.
Your absolutely right, Nintendo won't have anything on the show floor that is coming out in 2018. I expect a couple of 2018 games to be announced in the Spotlight. I half believe Pokemon Stars could be real and a spring 2018 game. So they have longer development time, and to not hurt sales of 3ds version.
We will find out soon.
I'm not personally expecting much, but have read and heard different rumors lately that third parties have more ports than I expected. We will find out in a few days.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=239597109&postcount=1482
Are you guys seeing 20 distinct monitors in those screens? I'm not very good at counting them distinctly in these photos...
Which comment says the 20 monitors are confirmed? I'm totally missing it, sorry. If it's just from the original leak and not the new info, I don't see how that would be confirmatory.
(I totally agree more third party games are coming than people expect.)
Pikmin has its 4th game across 16 years coming out and those jackals think that's too much... I say bring it on!

The Pikmin franchise is not my favorite but Pikmin 3 was a top 3 Wii U game and that system had a strong lineup.

LOL at the idea of a new S&P game. I mean, I'd love it to be true, but the S&P2 on the wii sold like hot fucking garbage so I find it hard to believe a new one would be greenlit
yeah, i meant a new M&L, but the remake will still be interesting. I wonder if it will use the sprites from Paper Jam and Dream Team. And also what the series will do going forward

Oh dang, just read that 4Chan leak and it sounds just as likely as the January event leak did. I'm gonna believe it, especially because it doesn't rule out certain games being announced for 2018. Takes away some of my 2017 hype for Switch but that's ok! I didn't buy the console expecting to have half the "major" Nintendo games that I'd want in year one.
