Gamexplain did their top 10 Wii U games to likely come to the Switch. This guy with the radio voice said he'd "sit in a puddle" if the Wonderful 101 didn't come to Switch. Sounds very familiar hmm Jonneh :D

Nintendo has been continually increasing their sales targets and projections for the Switch and I think it'll be the same for the next fiscal year. 20m is the absolute minimum, which is exactly why I think that we'll see these games until March 2019.

IDK about that if they sell 20M that would be among one of the best years ever for a console, doing more is very ambitious. Just off hand do you remember if the goal was 20M shipped in the fiscal year or sold? Because that would change the conversation and outlook entirely, for me.

I've seen conflicting translations so I'd appreciate if someone who knows Japanese could chime in: This is the original article.

Well first off I don't think it was presented as an official forecast, and there was some confusion about whether he meant fiscal year 2018 or calendar year 2018, though I'd imagine the former. But when it's Kimishima talking about sales you should assume he meant shipments, not sell through.

20M wouldn't really be that much more than what they'll sell in FY17 though, so it's probably doable.

I would make a thread about it but I'm still a Junior

On 4chan(I know I know) made a thread about a 3DS only direct happening March 1st

One of the things they said was that an Alliance Alive demo would be available after the presentation

Today it was revealed that the demo would launch march 1st. If this ends up being real looks like were getting a new Wario Land Game and a Links Awakening remake

No way they are doing a 3DS exclusive Direct so damn near of Switch's anniversary.. No way they would do that ...right?

Right? I'm afraid.

Weren't Wario Land and the Link's Awakening remake in another 4chan rumor from earlier in January? I'm guessing this one just copied some common rumors. Maybe either got lucky with the Alliance Alive demo or there were some hints about that demo earlier?

I hope it's true only for the Marin amiibo.
A 3DS only Direct makes surprisingly sense, since it'll definitely be the last the system will ever receive. It's a nice swan song to conclude with, only Link's Awakening would've been so much better for Switch. But eh, can't have everything.

If they release a new Wario Land on 3DS instead of Switch we riot.

Also, that Gamexplain Switch port video presents pretty possible releases. I have the same guesses.

I don't buy it, but that 3DS Direct list would definitely convince me to buy a 2DS XL. It'd be worth it for the Qbby Amiibo alone!

Not advocating for this rumor, but the existence of a 3DS only Direct is believable since there is nothing but Detective Pikachu on the horizon for it. A Direct to announce a couple new first party games seems plausible, although Wario Land and Link's Awakening both feel too fan-wishy from that post.

Sounds believable honestly.

You say "I know I know" but then why are you sharing this. Your thread would've gotten closed with the message to not make threads based on unreliable sources. 4chan is the poster child for unreliable sources.

That said, it looks tame enough to be real lol.

I am to the point that despite being a massive 3DS fanboy for like six years now I just am ready to move on. Give me DQXI and Yokai Watch 3 and let's move on.

I really hope this pans out, I would love to have Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Wonderful 101 and Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Switch. Wonderful 101 seems rather unlikely based on its poor sales but that did not stop Nintendo from funding the development of Bayonetta 3 so who knows.

These rumours by anonymous sources are kinda pointless to discuss...

...but it's worth pointing out that we haven't had a Wario platformer in almost a decade. The ad they made for it was also brilliant, it's sad that it doesn't work anymore. You had to be there for it.

Almost believable, until Wario Land.

I'd actually be okay with this if we got a Link's Awakening remake

wasnt a 4chan thread that "leaked" the content on the January Switch event last year?

That was a rare exception that could primarily be attributed to the format. The "leaker" in that case was helping to set up a floor space and caught the names of games from signage. They did not have insider information about pre-recorded videos.

My guess is still a direct on March 1st. Makes the most sense to me. They can outline their rewards system as soon as it starts, talk a bit about online in Sept, then highlight Kirby, give a date for HW and talk about the rest of the stuff they have pre E3.

Yup. I think we'll get an announcement for it tomorrow. Hopefully it's finally a full one, and not another mini.

Ok is he saying to expect general Switch news or Pokémon Switch news? Because if it's general Switch news then the only thing that can be is a direct and it's already Tuesday.
If we get anything this week, it'll be a general Direct. I'd be shocked if they revealed Pokémon in anything but its own Direct. Announcement tomorrow, Direct on Thursday. That's my bold prediction.

it's a remake of Wario Land VB, so it'd make more sense to put it on 3DS. it's hella fake though

Probably fake, but I could see Sakamoto's team and MS use the Samus Returns engine for a Wario Land title on the 3DS. While we wait a little longer for Metroid Dread of course.

I want to believe. But it feels like it's going to be another week of no new big news. Labo was definitely big, but not really catered towards us as much. We're coming up on two months from the Mini Direct. We haven't had a true Direct since September.
