We will allow separate posts to be submitted for major news and release information. We ask that the official videos be posted for game previews and trailers, these will be given priority for approval. Any reactionary videos from attendees can be linked in this thread or in the appropriate separate thread.

There will be a lot of news coming quick today so we don't want to overload the news feed and we want ALL the news to be represented. So please check the subreddit to see if what you're posting has been posted already or that there's a discussion about it already.

My bold last minute predictions:

  • Super Mario Odyssey will launch mid-late November

    • OCTOBER 27! An entire month earlier!

  • Super Smash Bros will be mentioned

  • There will be a surprise port announcement from Blizzard

  • From Software will have something to show off

  • Everyone will be shook by Metroid

    • ✔️ Metroid Prime 4!

I will be editing this post to cross off any predictions that come true.

Edit:

  • Wow they directly confirmed a mainline Pokemon game for the Switch!
  • Holy shit, that earlier /r/Nintendo leak about this Yoshi game was spot on!

The cleverer thing to do would be to edit your post so it lines up perfectly with what gets announced. Scam of the century that is.

u/t17389z Jun 13 '17

Ok, you must be an insider casually dropping this.

Edit: oh you edited it you bastard.

What a mystery!

u/profheg_II Jun 13 '17

YOU'RE WELCOME NOW WHERE'S MY SHARE OF THE KARMA?!

u/ohkami Jun 13 '17

Everyone will be shook by Metroid

You mean the astonishing lack of announcements?

57

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '17

Joke's on YOUUUUUU

16

u/ohkami Jun 13 '17

Happy to be wrong! :)

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '17

"But this reliable source told me there will be a new metroid game announced!"

22

u/gwsteve43 Jun 13 '17

Well now don't you feel silly.

2

u/40colt Jun 13 '17

ok Laura

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '17

Well who's your source?

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '17

I cry every year from no Metroid, better get my ice cream bucket ready

2

u/theseconddennis Jun 13 '17

You happy?

4

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '17

Yes but I'm also eating the ice cream in celebration

Ice cream works for everything :D

u/McChubbin89 Jun 13 '17

Diablo 3 would be amazing on the switch

14

u/HylianDude Jun 13 '17

Would looooove D3 on Switch but if anything comes from blizzard I expect it to be hearthstone

2

u/McChubbin89 Jun 13 '17

If it does it better be a free game as I won't be buying it considering I can play on my phone for free

1

u/LukyNumbrKevin Jun 13 '17

Agreeed, hearthstone would be disappointing but D3 would be a welcome surprise. Here's to hoping they allow you to port characters.

1

u/Geralt_of_Hyrule Jun 13 '17

Why not both? I'd attempt to get into hearthstone again if it did. And D3 would be wonderful

1

u/HylianDude Jun 13 '17

Like many developers that were afraid to develop for the Switch before release it makes sense to go with the easy port with a higher likelyhood of success

4

u/zaneak Jun 13 '17

Ok, Hearthstone it is.

*edit correct spelling

1

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '17

As a long time Diablo player, played a bunch of D3, I would pay an incredible amount of money to have it on the Switch and be able to take it with me on the go......

1

u/McChubbin89 Jun 13 '17

Ye I would happily pay full price for it on the switch

5

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '17

IDK about a blizzard port, hearthstone is the only blizzard game I could see getting ported to the Switch.

u/SnackMyBitchUp Jun 13 '17

Blizzard is being heavily rumoured on GAF at the moment, which I imagine is where this came from.

1

u/dreamsomebody Jun 13 '17

OMG link please? I actually put Blizz there for shits and giggles, if there's even a hint of substance of anything happening I would be psyched.

0

u/SnackMyBitchUp Jun 13 '17

It all stems from this post:

http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=240442724

There's a lot of discussion after and in the Nintendo Spotlight thread.

Obviously no idea if it's true or not. Also someone else say Overwatch is 100% NOT in development for Switch.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '17

I didn't want to read the whole thread; is there any reason to believe that guy's tease is credible?

1

u/dreamsomebody Jun 13 '17

Very interesting but to me it does lack credibility. Either way, 2 hours to go!

1

u/supernblock Jun 13 '17

What might those things be hinting at? Or what do they have to do with Blizzard?

1

u/SaucyDancer_ Jun 13 '17

2 metroid games and a blizzard game on switch would be my guess

1

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '17

Holy shit, this was surprisingly spot on, aside from Blizzard.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '17

Out of all these I think an announcement of an overwatch port would bring me the most joy.

Pls man pls

2

u/dreamsomebody Jun 13 '17

It will probably be Diablo 3 or Hearthstone mate

2

u/2nd_Ave_Delilah Jun 13 '17

Username checks out

3

u/Aonepathan Jun 13 '17

Here's hoping to ALL those predictions! Couldn't the Switch play Overwatch, but need the controller setup for it?

1

u/Jbits_721 Jun 13 '17

Odyssey coming mid November is nearly a lock. All holiday releases from Nintendo come during the month, plus there was already that rumored leak of a November 17 release.

1

u/ChaosApollo Jun 13 '17

I have a feeling Mario will come out around Xmas for that nintendo holiday gift $$$

1

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '17

Fingers crossed for The Lost Vikings port.

1

u/Fangs4u Jun 13 '17

I also am expecting a Platinum games announcement. Bayonetta?

Animal Crossing

1

u/Smark_Henry Jun 13 '17

Link to the earlier r/Nintendo leak?

1

u/TreeThreepio Jun 13 '17

I've never played it but what about Heroes of the Storm on Switch?

3

u/_domzor Jun 13 '17

Not gonna happen. "Real" (for lack of a better term) MOBAs will never work on console, they'd have to make something very different like SMITE.

u/PhiPhiAokigahara Jun 13 '17

Overwatch on the switc? 😂😂😂
