I can't tell by the photos.
I apologize Gaf, I didn't realize that on the other thread the person was just quoting the 4chan rumor.
We will find out soon. Looking forward to seeing Fifa tomorrow, that will be very telling.

What's the "leak" say?
Is the 20 monitors thing confirmed as well? A Mario Odyssey booth decorated as New Donk City isn't that hard to guess tbh.
Yeah this.

I don't want to re-post the whole thing when someone else already went through that work. You can see the relevant post here.

It's almost certainly bullshit tbh

Hm okay. Seems alright. I'm pretty content with all that stuff. Sin and Punishment by Platinum seems like something awesome I never thought would happen. And if this is just the show floor, it doesn't account for anything in the spotlight that won't be playable there, so there could still be other surprises.
But if all that's true, it's definitely a pretty good E3 for Nintendo.

What makes you think that? Everything listed sounded extremely plausible to me. If they were pretending to have details about the Spotlight I'd definitely be more skeptical.
The leak wouldn't make sense based on a couple of things.....
-Didn't Yooka-Laylee just startd to be ported on the Switch? it wouldn't show if that's the case
-Tokyo Mirage port being on the show floor?
-a new Sin and Punishment game on the show floor as well?
The format is very reminiscent of the January leak so far that I will say that this leaker is their attempt to copy it.

I see no conceivable way he would know all of those details given it looks like the booth is being constructed today.
Why wouldn't it be playable?

LOL at a new S&P being plausible, given the last game sold like complete garbage on the wii of all systems, and Pokemon despite never having been playable on the show floor at any e3, and the fact that it suggests the show floor is mostly setup when pictures we've actually seen suggest otherwise. The only support it has is new donk city being the show floor theme, but that's honestly the easiest guess anyone could've made

I don't see why any of these things would be unlikely (provided they're real things that exist). Yooka-Laylee has been in dev on switch since late last year, at least. I am sure it's close to release.
One thing I will say about this, was S/M playable last year? I know it was on treehouse but don't remember it being playable at the actual show floor....
According to Kickstarter update Switch version will not be present at E3
Pokemon ORAS and SM was not playable during E3.

Mainline Pokemon has never been playable on the show floor, ever. Not during X and Y, not during ORAS, and not during SuMo
Alright, interesting.

Zelda was the only playable game on the showfloor for Nintendo last year. It was a pretty big deal so I'm not sure how you forgot

So that leaker got one easy thing to guess right and several other things unlikely right based on what is known? So teamfake for me.
Well, the problem is always with how much hype these events generate. When the actual reality isn't nearly as awesome as people think it will be. Of course, leakers don't care about that because they're just fueling the hype. You'd think we'd be prepared for this sort of thing by now, but it gets people every time.

My biggest hope honestly is they release that Zelda DLC either the day of E3 or the actual first day of summer. Played through Breath of the Wild on my Wii U (which I've since sold to get a Switch) and now I'm itching to start a new playthrough on hard mode.

Not even commenting on the actual leak, but the "looks like it's developed by Platinum" means nothing. OP on last leak thought Arms "looked like it was developed by Platinum" So if it's Japanese and action-based - "it looks like it's developed by Platinum".

I'd love to live in a world where a new S&P game wasn't considered extremely unlikely, but alas
I only saw bits of pieces of Nintendo's thing st last E3. I wasn't entirely interested in just it centering around one game.
TDLink

That's a good point. I think getting a new S+P regardless of the developer would be cool though.
Nintendo does whatever they want. Nothing is really -that- unlikely. They've randomly announced new entries in long lapsed franchises plenty of times before. Including Sin and Punishment 2.
Even if that leak is true, it's only the showfloor stuff. Doesn't rule out Metroid being announced
I find it funny that the leaker was bit adamant that Metroid or similiar things was gonna be there since it wasn't at they "hypothetical showfloor". Doesn't mean it wouldn't be shown in the spotlight and such.
The Yooka-Laylee thing already debunks it a bit, and unless they are someone that's like Kojima and loves to troll people....I don't see their game being there.

I'm pretty sure S&P 2 sold Wonderful 101 numbers, possibly even worse, except it was on the fucking Wii and not the goddamn wii u. I don't think Nintendo is interested in throwing money away to make a new one. S&P 2 was a risk sure, but it was also one that was a more unknown risk since the original hadn't released in America ever, so they didn't know how it would sell, which is quite different from knowing it'll sell like a steaming turd
Yeah. At least with pikmin you will have an assurance that it'll be good. Now is the time to grow the franchise.

Why should they even acknowledge it? Also, there is 0 chance of Nintendo bringing back anything Wii related. Miis are pretty much the extent, but we're not getting a new Wii Blah Blah type title again

People complaining about Pikmin are not focusing on the true Popular-but-completely-unexciting Nintendo franchise:
Fucking Animal Crossing
Animal Crossing is an addictive treasure, son. It's also HUGELY successful for them. New Leaf alone sold like 10 million or something crazy.
Maybe people aren't focusing on it because it's....way better than Pikmin? Way more people would be excited to see AC Switch than Pikmin lol. Don't get me wrong, Pikmin is dope, but AC>>>>>

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I put 400 hours into New Leaf before my file corrupted. Get out. It's by far my favorite Nintendo series. I've been waiting 5 years for a new one.
I dunno why people are desperate for that 4chan leak to be fake. I'd be pretty alright with it if it was real, and I could see all of it happening. A TMS port and new Pilotwings + WaveRace sounds better than what I assume Nintendo will show. I'd give that lineup a solid B if everything there looks good

Nintendo has a habit of publishing and producing games they know probably won't sell jack shit. I find it hard to believe they went in to picking up Wonderful 101 and Ever Oasis thinking they're going to be million sellers. Anything is possible, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are producing a new S&P. It sounds like one of the most Nintendo things they'd do TBH.
I think at this point I can probably say the same. MAYBE Zelda takes the top spot, but yeah, AC is definitely a really close runner up if not the top spot. I've logged wayyyyy too much time into each one, especially the original. The Gamecube one is still my favourite, and if the VC Gamecube rumours are true, I'd be giddy as fuck if AC was one of the games.

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
What if that Sin and Punishment is Retro's game?

There's a difference between selling a game and not expecting it to be a million seller, a selling a game and expecting it to sell like utter shit. Wonderful 101 wasn't expected to sell gangbusters, but it was expected to sell substantially more than it actually did. Nintendo isn't going to throw money away on a game that can't reasonably be expected to sell over 30,000 copies
I'm down with a new installment for the Animal Crossing series, only if they fix the issues that I had with New Leaf. (Why yes, Beau. I would "love" your new home be placed smack dab in the middle of my rose garden near the towns central park. No worries, I'll get over it. What's that, Isabelle? You say I can't place a lamp post near the park bench, despite I could do it with the others? Sure, why not?)
I really had a love-hate relationship with being the mayor, and I need additional tools to make the town building aspect more appealing.

That'd be bizarre.
Like I said in the past, I think Retro's better off working on western oriented franchises like Metroid and Donkey Kong. Leave stuff like Sin & Punishment and Kid Icarus to Japanese developers like PlatinumGames and Treasure.
