I doubt it will be. The only place to report on it was a not exactly reputable website and neither Rabbids nor Yoshi inspire much actual hype from fans, GameXplain wouldn't talk about it like they did if they knew it was that.

Guys. Let Sakaguchi make The Last Story 2 first, then he can do collaborations with Monolith.
Playing Stardew Valley on the go would be so freaking awesome! Super Meat Boy released on WiiU just this year, so maybe there is hope that it could also come to Switch (unfortunately with a inferior soundtrack
). It's one of my all time favorite games so I would buy that in a heartbeat. FTL would also be perfect for short game sessions on the go.GinoFelino

Time to get hype! Maybe... Eurogamer says they have more Switch news coming tomorrow:

Guys, it's probably just Pocket Hunter, a Pokémon X Monster Hunter crossover where instead of a cat assistant, you have Pikachu and instead of capturing Pokémon, you hunt and slay them for skins, bones and other materials to be used for equipment.
Rumors are flooding like crazy lately. Maybe we'll know just about everything before January 12 lol.

It sure seems like it! I wonder when/if we'll get leaks about the operating system? That's the one thing I want to see more so than anything else.

don't see a reason to get hyped
Eurogamer drop bits of Switch news about twice a week now

Speaking on my own behalf, I get hyped about any piece of Switch news.

I hope it isn't "major surprise game" big. Those are the worst kinds of leaks as all they do is take away from that wow moment at the actual reveal.
Something to do with the console itself, third party support (that isn't a crossover/collaboration) or one of the already shown games would be great.
I don't see it that way. You just get the wow moment earlier. It's even more of a surprise as during the event you expect surprises. One might get even more excited following these kind of leaks than going into the event with very high expectations.
Except, to me, seeing a thread on GAF is nowhere near as hype as my first look at a game being of a trailer at an event I've waited months for. I said earlier, but imagine if FFVII, Shenmue 3 and TLG were known to be shown at Sony's conference, it would suck.
People also seem to subconsciously see a reveal as "less hype" if this happens. Ryu in Smash had people disappointed because it was leaked.
Edit: Heh missed the eurogamer link posted above

Doesn't matter, at one point, you have to realize that some things won't work. Take Tatsu. Take Lao's reasons for
betrayal
fusion with the "ADN"
None of this make any sense. I know they had to do a lot of work when they decided to remove the main character and let players create their own, but damn, is it bad.
FFVII and TLG were known here on GAF before the conference, but nobody believed it.

@Mazzle5 I had my turn with Mario Kart.
They talked about 3D Mario, Splatoon, Skyrim, Zelda and Mario Kart. lol it's like they're taking turns with Switch info.
I think Eurogamer, Emily and Laura are working together.

They get no sympathy from me. They've been dragging this on waaaaaaay too long.
Everyone works with each other on this kinda stuff. There is a small circle on the Nintendo side of things that helps each other out. It's no secret. I'm glad everyone can be so friendly with one another because it benefits the wider community in the long run, even if it means some secrecy is required while vetting things.
That leak would be REALLY bad for Sun/Moon sales on 3DS. If it turns out to be Eclipse or something like that, that is.

I will cry tears of joy if this happens. Let me play Sun/Moon on Switch next fall and bring over my Pokemon via Pokemon Bank.
Eh... It's not like that news is going to hit the mainstream media. Pokemon Sun and Moon already have 10 million copies shipped to retailers... I'd wager that hardcore Pokemon fans don't want to wait for the Switch to play. Non-hardcore fans that may already own a 3DS probably won't wait and buy new hardware either.
Yes, if that's the case I hope Eurogamer thought wisely about what they're doing.
Was about to post this, after we all expected Switch at E3, for Nintendo to expect the ship not to spring any leaks between then and the middle of January 2017.....they made their bed, lie in it.
Eurogamer's job is to report news. Not care about sales.
Nah, SM is gonna sell 10 million plus regardless. Not expecting the next pokemon game until October 2017 at the earliest.
Nintendo's job is to care about sales, and if a news site is adversely affecting their sales in order to get clicks they're going to crack down and crack down hard.

Most people don't follow gaming news closely enough for this to have an impact anyway.

Yeah, I wasn't saying it as a negative thing. It's good to see everyone corroborating and stuff.
So, tomorrow you think Eurogamer will talk about the crossover game?

It'll be "Hey you! Mimikyu!"
News of a port on a better system breaking on release day? Of course it would move the needle of public perception somewhat. Not for all those 3DS game presents under the Christmas trees, but Pokémon has a huge older fanbase who'll most likely see this on imgur or on Social Media.
Sure, some things don't work in the story. But it's silly to complain about the writing when the main story isn't even the main focus of the game. It's all about the exploration and the world of Mira. That's what makes Xenoblade Chronicles X truly shine. And besides, the writing in a good chunk of normal missions is pretty great. IIRC in the Iwata Asks, the team said they focused specifically on the side missions. They put their heart and soul in the missions.
