.... what if it's both?
What if we get Links Awakening on 3DS and Switch and a port of ALBW on Switch and they sell the two Switch games in a $60 collection. Neither of them alone could be $60 on Switch, but together they can.
Well then that would be pretty fucking awesome, wouldn't it?
'' From the study that reimagined Link to the Past with the masterpiece that is ALBW comes the reimagination of Link's Awakening ''
Some marketing like that
A switch port of ALBW would be cool, but it would require a massive facelift, some more content, and be digital only. If they want a retail release, yeah it kinda needs to be bundled with something else. A Links Awakening remake lets say?
I love ALBW, but I don't care for it on Switch. I hope it's a remake/sequel to another Zelda game.
Yeah I guess for a Nintendo Selects re-release? Not everything is coming to the Switch but the 3ds Selects lineup could use another Bump and ALBW would do that
How is it that everyone thinks its coming to Switch and not just a Seects re-release?
I still don't see a correlation there... Do they normally re-quote reviews for older games to promote new ones?
That rumor may well be true, I just don't see the connection to the tweet people are sharing.
Edit: Some of you think ALBW might be coming to Switch then? That seems even crazier to me! I don't imagine Nintendo will port 3DS games to Switch until they stop selling the hardware entirely.
It'd be really easy to bundle it with a remake of A Link to the Past using similar assets. That might not be that fun since the game's are pretty similar already, though.
I went to Nintendo of America's page and it isn't listed as a Select? Did I miss something?

Not in NA it doesn't oddly. Cause its stil $40 and I don't see a Selects for it here anywhere
Nope. ALBW isn't a "Nintendo Select" title in the U.S. yet. Seems like that'll be the reason for a review re-quote request.
Okay glad I'm not crazy. Because thats the exact thing people go for re-quotes for in PR.
I mean a release on Switch wouldn't be horrible but it's clear North America is getting some new Selects
I don't buy (or maybe I'm just salty it's not rumored for Switch) the Link's Awakening Remake, but it is odd that this rumor/leak lines up exactly with this alleged request for quotes.
Probably a coincidence... and we don't even know if the whole "Nintendo reaching out to press thing" is real, but it's an interesting chain of events.

If they announce another Zelda game for the 3DS only I'll be really mad. Why not both Switch and 3DS?
Because ALBW Selects isn't new? Also if the requesting permission for using quotes again thing is true, it suggests entirely new packaging right? EDIT: Ignore me (see below)
Ahhhh it could be that then. I wasn't aware it hadn't come out in the US yet, strange decision.
I'm always very confused when people bring up 3DS ports as some sort of easy or obvious thing to do. I once had the audacity to claim porting OoT 3DS would be a challenge and was bombarded with posts about how it was always a console game first and I'm an idiot....as though that was my issue. Porting 3DS games requires huge updates to nearly every asset because of the resolution and would almost certainly require better geometry to not look like shit. Then there is all the logic around displaying two images which would require a complete rethinking of the UI - because the 3DS offers clear improvements in terms of UI with its second screen. You have to consider how to keep all the features while porting to a single screen.
I won't be mad, but I just wanna play my Switchhhh. Anyone have a good video of ALBW running in HD in an emulator?
I'm still confused as to how this "news" would line up with that rumor?
A new game with the ALBW engine, but 100% orignal this time would be amazing! (i woudl be fine with a link's awakening 2 too)
That's what confused me. Selects games are usually the same box art/quotes just with the Nintendo Selects border thing around it. Surely they wouldn't have to ask to use the quotes for that again? It's the same game.
Now a re-release, remake, or a similar game with a "by the studio who made..." type quotes, that makes sense.
Gonna be disappointed if we keep getting these 3ds games that could've been switch games, or at least cross-platform.
I have never seen that in stores, did that even come out in America?That would make sense...if that didn't exist already.
What makes you think "could've"? If it wasn't for the Switch, it wasn't for the Switch.
Having been around for these being fielded, publishers do ask again - even just to include quotes in a new press release, even if they may well be under no "obligation" to do so. "Box quotes" and press release inclusion both merit asking.
Short answer: don't try to read too much into it
IF ALBW is coming to Switch, hopefully it's a true HD remaster and not just ALBW in 1080p, the game is still very new but I'd buy it if it had the work done to it.
I mean at this point it's pretty obvious to me the Link's Awakening remake is done by the same team behind ALBW, and that's why they requested the quotes.
Why Nintendo needs ALBW's reviews or quotes from media if it's a different game? The only thing they share are the graphics
it's the only way to get people interested in the game, I guess
I'd be pretty okay with them doing like a "3DS Zelda Collection" on Switch. HD ports of those three games.
So Nintendo PR said
Bethesda is obviously Wolf 2
EA is likely Fe, Fifa and maybe Madden or NHL
Activision I think will be a COD game in some form
Take2 is more NBA2k, probably GTA and maybe even a Civ game with the touch screen
Capcom will be Ace Attorney and maybe Dragons Dogma because they did mention bringing new games not on Nintendo consoles
Sega is interesting because they have Valkyria Chronicles 4 but I could definitely see a game like football manager come
Ubisoft would probably be Ezio Collection, South Park, and M+R DLC

Kid Icarus Uprising wouldnt look very good in HD, IMO. that game needs either a remake or a sequel
I def think Madden 19 is coming EA is not gonna ignore that kinda install base
And COD 2018 will come
