Nintendo E3 plans (Video June 12 @ 9am PT) Games after 2018 "will be featured at a later date"

Pokemon is probably coming this year.
But anyway, they announced Smash 5 six months before release and will have shown 0 gameplay footage up until three months before release so I don't know if they care at this point...
Mate mate mate
Fuck yeah, I can't wait to see Smash in action! Now I know I'm taking a day off on June 12th.

Not gonna lie. That wording stuck out to me as well. Are people going to riot if it's a Wii U port?

Again, you people should not focus too much on Nintendo's wording.

Would be strange for them to feature Smash prominently in the Spotlight, Treehouse and have a Tournament for it to be a port.
Think about it this way, they wouldn't show only 2018 games if they didn't think they had a lot of good games to show. They're forecasting 20M Switches sold with 100M units of software, there's gotta be something exciting.
You're literally posting in a thread about them blowing this game out at E3. You will get all the information you need.
Even I'm not so cynical to think that the game that will be the majority of the focus of Nintendo's e3 is a 4 year late port.
Yeah. I think the reason Nintendo is overdoing it this year is because we literally no nothing about the second half of 2018 in terms of games and gameplay. There is a lot to show for 2018 so expect E3 floor show to be all 2018 games. We should get one or two 2019 games. Last year we got 4, but we had seen some 2017 second half games.
It could be a very enhanced port?
technically it's possible to show their Q1 2019 in sept/oct with little time.
But it depends on the games.
Smash has great hype cycles, but it doesn't necessarily need one. Because it's Smash Bros.
Plus it's getting a huge E3 blowout.
If a more experimental game is coming out Q1 2019, waiting till fall would be too late to announce it.
For instance, octopath has had an appropriate cycle. Announcement, Trailers, Demo, Feedback, Character reveals, release date.
if octopath was announced 6 months before release that would be poor marketing imo.

Makes sense, but I think large part of that will be due to Labo frenzy over the holidays
Wait until Sega releasing all their initial Sega Ages titles.
And I like the other games you listed. Enough fun for me in 2018. Bayonetta 3 probably won't be this year though.
Last year's press release:
Now compare that to today's press release:

I doubt it's trolling. Y'all are just reading too much into it.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict that there will be zero Labo stuff at E3.
Are they going to focus an entire presentation and tournament on just a Wii U port?
Realistically, I expect it to have the same amount of characters and stages as a new game, but the visuals might end up being super similar to the Wii U (which is why they want to avoid calling it not a port).
I see. Mine would be Fire Emblem, Smash and Yoshi, in that order.
Others will be nice too.
Yeah. Nintendo does weird stuff but I'm pretty sure they're aware of how to treat a port. This is going to be a Splatoon 2 type sequel.
Of course there won't be any Labo at e3, but that poster meant that they thought the 20m sales projection could be heavily based on Labo.
Spoilers if they don't show any 2019 games at e3.
They'll have a September 2018 Direct which shows Q1 2019 titles.
They'll have a January 2019 Direct which shows Q2 2019 titles.
I don't think they'll show all games at once.
I'm with you on that.
The Labo argument I've made would be to explain the 20m for this fiscal year.
Yeah, I noticed the different wording. Typically they do say "focusing on" and they almost always talk beyond 2018. That's what I was expecting going into this, but now with this new wording it makes me think... maybe they won't show 2019 stuff? Who knows. Thankfully, I think (maybe I just hope) they have enough for the second half of 2018 to fill it out.
I was thought it was a Wii U+3DS port the whole time and didn't realize people are expecting it to be a completely new Smash until this thread.
I think we shouldn't focus on the PR so much. This year we don't know anything about 2nd half of 2018. Last year we knew all of 2nd half 2017 for Nintendo games
Nintendo Treehouse intro: "A big welcome to our special guest Aounuma with a little surprise: LoZ: Link's Reawakening for the Nintendo 3DS out this September, here's an amiibo of the Wind Fish egg that you can squish!"
Everyone: Whhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!?!?!?
But then what about the other half of that argument, that it would make no sense to hold back showing 2019 titles if they didn't think they had enough exciting stuff for 2018?
