Why not post the original link to the image? Stealth doesn't want to be quoted here (you can see why considering Gloam went straight for the insult), so just leave him and go to the actual source (via this ERA post).
Sorry I don't know everyone on the internet and their preferences. I've never even heard of this guy before - just thought what he posted sounded interesting and was retweeted by someone I follow.
No worries, I probably sounded a bit too harsh towards you, sorry about that. I probably should have worded it more as an FYI.
Ignoring that potshot at him, it's a very easy solution to come to:
- There were already rumors circulating around about a new Monster Hunter for Switch.
- Yasunori Ichinose has exclusively directed portable entries in the series (Freedom 1+2 and Generations), and his next project will probably also be a handheld title.
Not so much an insult, just that the fella has a one track mind.
It's not far-fetched. No, I don't think it's coming to the Vita, but I also don't think that every tidbit has to do with the Switch, unlike ol' Stealthy

Yeah, there some smoke, at least. It's possible that he's directing World 2 for PS4/XB1/PC, but it seems at least possible that this hint is directed at a Switch game coming from him.
Oh yeah, bring back NDS 3D. Been a while since we've had that.
There's more yeah :p
There's the 100th Capcom TV this friday (I think?) and more stuff shown/announced the whole month.
^
No way he's on a main game yeah. It's possible the new spinoff is multiplat, but it seems logical it'll be at least on Swich considering his pedigree (Portable series and Generations).
Hi all, long time lurker first time poster!
I'm really interested in the 3rd party support we get on Switch this year, the rumours from insiders has me hoping we will get some big titles (Switch is the only console I play on now so the more the better!)
Thinking of what could come, games was expecting to hit Switch were the likes of
Batman Arkham games
Tomb Raider reboot trilogy (Was this not rumoured by King Zell or someone?)
Dishonoured series
Nier Automata
The other Wolfenstein games
I know some of these will be current gen games so not sure how much they can be tinkered with to run on Switch but these are the sort of games I would have expected reach Switch in the next year or so.
I also hope we see some older, 360 generation stuff, stuff that is really unexpected, games like Enslaved: Odyssey to the West or Shadows of the Damned type stuff would be great! Maybe Capcom would eventually get the RE engine running on Switch so we see some kind of ports of Remake 2 and DMC5 but I guess this is highly unlikely at this point.
I will be grabbing Saints Row 3 (Never played it) and Darksiders (played twice but love it) to show support so we hopefully get the sequels ported to Switch.

I wonder when we are going to get news on Labo VR, this excites me because I really do think that this will cross over (if not straight away) into evergreen titles, it could also somehow become a new sports game.
Tomb Raider and Nier should be good fits for Switch but unfortunately Square-Enix currently sees Switch as a completely separate platform than others and its audience as Retro-maniacs. Until something comes up and changes their minds, all we will see from Square will be DQ games, retro flavored stuff (Octopath, Oninaki) and rereleases of very old games. Don't expect anything from Eidos side.
For WB games, they were one of the companies hurt by Wii U's colossal failure. They chose to ignore Switch, except one guy who works there: Ed Boon. He is a huge Nintendo fan and currently is bringing MK11 to Switch. He could convince some higher ups in the company to bring full support to Switch.
Don't trust Bethesda just because they brought three amazing games to Switch, they did that most likely because Nintendo specifically requested. As Rage 2 is an example, they're not interested bringing anything to Switch unless Nintendo is involved. Doom Eternal should be their only upcoming Switch game.
They already confirmed the next Wolfenstein is coming. And they specifically said they were working on figuring out how to port Rage 2, though they couldn't confirm if it was gonna happen.
World 2 would never be directed by him and his team, that's out of the question.

Hope this is true and will be revealed in the next couple of months.
especially MPT and Mario games
Um what? Would be aswome... but nt seeing this happen at al... sure its Fake. But what should this supposed to be? A Nintendo upcoming Direct?
BTW: Are there already some Rumors about a upcoming Direct soon?
They have said they are looking into getting Rage 2 running on switch, but they haven't really tried. I know BGS has a soft spot for the switch as well.
In that case, this would seem to indicate a side MH game or a portable MH game, which is probably coming to Switch (maybe in addition to the PS4/CB1/PC).
Isn't that Wolfenstein game is just an expansion pack? Like, 5-6 hours of extra story? They did this with the first game. Plus, the upcoming expansion pack was never confirmed for Switch officially.
There's no hard evidence, but I suspect Nintendo paid for the ports of Doom, Doom Eternal, Wolfenstein and Skyrim. I mean, they featured the games on Switch marketing campaign, like Skyrim on Switch reveal trailer. I think they're "figuring out" the Rage 2 port by waiting for Nintendo to help them out financially.
Could be.....but so what? Do you think all of a sudden Nintendo would stop paying for these games? They're selling so I doubt it. Doesn't matter who is paying as far as I'm concerned.
Pete Hines has said that "the next Wolfenstein is coming to Switch", so that's an official confirmation.
The claim that Nintendo is paying for ports needs to be substantiated before it becomes anything more than a conspiracy theory. Featuring in the marketing campaign does not in any way prove that Nintendo is paying for the development of the port (nor, incidentally, does the fact that they publish those games). Those could very well just be normal marketing deals.
I mean maybe you're right but like you said there's nothing to substantiate that. As for Wolfenstein, presumably he was talking about Youngblood but we don't know for sure. All Hines said was "the next Wolfenstein is coming to Switch". Either way that's more current gen support than most other publishers are offering.
Bethesda has been great with supporting the Switch.
Am I the only person who was looking forward to that Elder Scrolls mobile game to come to Switch? They revealed it at last years E3 and it looked pretty good.

considering fallout shelter was also released for the switch (and ps4, i guess), it seems likely they will also release blades on other systems (come on, skyrim on freezers, guys...)
The only thing holding me back from picking up Wolfenstein 2 on Switch is The New Order not being available. I never played the series so would like to play from the start on Switch. Hopefully they are considering this and also looking to bring the Dishonoured games to Switch.
Stuff like the Arkham Games and Tomb Raider would also be great on the go, this is the year where even Reggie said the 3rd party games should start coming right? Projects that may have started shortly after the success of Switch was known should presumably be ready to launch in the third year.

Dishonored 1 and 2 on the switch would be great, I thought that Arkane said they played around with the Switch SDK?
I do not think we'll get a general DIrect before E3, but I believe the E3 direct will have its fair share of 3rd parties.
My bets are Overwatch and The Division 2 as big titles.

Didn't a job opening mention wanting experience in working with Switch? Fingers crossed they work on bringing Dishonoured 1 & 2 to Switch as them getting used to working on Switch.
I thought there was mention of that as well, I know of the Retro people were there and then came back to retro.
Maybe not Division 2, but I expect a big game announcement from Ubisoft in the future. The way they test the waters with AC3, a brand new exclusive Assassin's Creed should be their next Switch exclusive. Probably smaller and more traditional than home console versions. Modern AC games abandoned the original formula, this could be perfect opportunity for AC fans who just want good old climbing, jumping and stabbing from behind action.
Were there rumours alluding to The Division 2 coming over? I'm not sure if that's something Ubisoft would bring over.
No rumor*, pure speculation on my side based on how well Starlink ran on Switch (open world running with the Snowdrop Engine, 30fps on other consoles)
*just an insider answering "why not?" to a poster laughing about the idea of The Division 2 releasing on Switch; I can't find where, it was months ago.
I think it is coming from the fact that The Division is a Snowdrop game and they already launched several of those on Switch (M+R, Starlink, South Park...)
That's so true. Even the smallest indies sell like millions. I wish third parties take notice how hungry we are and take Switch support more seriously. Nintendo's efforts are limited, they can not carry the system alone. We need third parties.
Ok, now that's some juicy info. You're turning me into a believer.
I'm always surprised by how enthusiastic Ubisoft is towards Nintendo systems. Hopefully they'll bring The Division 2 over if they can.
We have it with the indies, some of them being console exclusive like Into The Breach or Ape Out. I take those or Baba Is You against DMC any day of the year.
But I see what you mean, ambitious 3rd parties are somehow lacking. I hope that more gimped versions of big games will eventually come. I had no problem with gimped Doom, it was even my favorite version of the game due to gyro aiming and portability.
It could also just have been him specifying that he didn't see the technical hurdles as insurmountable. Same as a few knowledgeable people said during The Witcher 3 rumors that porting the game was not ridiculous at all. Just unlikely to happen.
Anyway mate, I'm just part guessing, part wishful thinking (The Division 2 looks sweet but no way I play such game tethered). Hobbes said that we would be surprised with what's coming on Switch, and I assume that he was at least referring to current gen games.
Does anyone see Nintendo showing up at Ubisoft's conference 3 years in a row? A new collaboration perhaps or even a Mario + Rabbids sequel is revealed?
This first quarter has been rougher for me than I had hoped/anticipated. Bought a bunch of indie games to help tide me over but ended up not liking any of them. I enjoyed my time replaying NSMBUD of course, but I need something new right about now. Luckily Yoshi is out at the end of the month, and it's looking like the pace will get super hectic starting in June.
I too don't mind lower end versions of 3rd party games, the portability factor wins out all the time for me.
I don't really expect a Rabbids sequel. First one was a mild success but I have doubts that they would achieve similar success with the sequel. There's nothing big left to bring to the game (except for Rayman himself), it wouldn't create any hype or buzz. Plus Rabbids are pretty much hated outside of France, there's no point in keeping them alive.
Whatever Ubisoft has in works for Switch, it should be something new.
So far, Ubi have worked with
2017: Mario
2018: Starfox
2019 could have them working with another's Nintendo property.....Tom Clancy's Splatoon Cell!

If anything, I think Ubisoft should be the ones to handle the Starfox franchise from now on. Starlink is not without flaws but is clearly the direction the series should take and they're still supporting it.
A Switch exclusive Starfox based on Starlink that ditches the toys gimmick and makes the universe more interesting would be great.

Bethesda actually told Polygon that they're still considering Rage 2 for Switch here. I wouldn't hold my breath, though. We still haven't seen a big 30 FPS open world game designed for current-gen consoles on Switch yet, and we most likely never will.
Really? Neat! I was under the impression that Rage 2 would be 30 FPS on the OG PS4 and XB1, maybe 60 FPS on the mid-gen refreshes, and unlocked on PC. (I can't really explain my way out of DQXI. I assumed it was linear, but expansive, based on the Direct footage.)
