Can the Switch even run it tho? Even Xbox One and PS4 versions don't go higher than 30 fps so it's really hard to imagine

No idea. But Switch is the land of miracles, I wouldn't be surprised if they found a way to run it on Switch with as little sacrifices as possible. The game runs on GPD Win somewhat ok, that plus extra optimizations it might be possible on Switch.

Nintendo have never given THQNordic a spot on any Direct and E3 Direct will be same. Their games do not even appear Nintendo's "upcoming third party games" lists.

I could have sworn they made a fuss about the Wii U Darksiders release. Could be wrong, though.

Actually, I think I'd be quite happy to see Witcher 2 on Switch, and that should be completely and utterly fine. So much of what I'd like to see is a second wind for 360-era titles

All I want from this E3 is that Retro shows what they've been working on for the last 5 years. That's all.

My big prediction is either the show starts with a hardware reveal before the tournament with the tournaments being played on the new revision, or after the E3 Direct during the first Treehouse we get the reveal.

They said at the financial briefing no hardware was being shown at E3. And then the ad for their E3 presentation reiterated, SOFTWARE ONLY

I said it earlier in the thread, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Kosuke Yabuki's (EPD 9) next game. ARMS was released two years ago and didn't receive as much post-launch support as Splatoon 2. That group has also been releasing games around every three years since MKDS. Konno is handling MK Tour.

I think it'll be Mario Kart 9, but they'll present it next year. Arms was his passion project and there might be a sequel someday. Buy my bet is that Mario kart 9 started to be developed early 2017 if not late 2016, and will be ready for release next year unless Nintendo decides to sit on it for a year because mk8dx sells too damn well.

Exactly. The specifically mentioned that their E3 Presentation would be devoid of any hardware announcements, and that's what they meant at the financial briefing. For me it just felt like code for "announcement ain't happening there, but it's gonna be revealed real close to it". I still think an announcement the week before with showfloor units makes a ton of sense.

This might not mean anything but Doug Bowser and Kirk Scott (Nintendo indie guy) just followed Vince Zempella on Twitter who is the CEO of Respawn Entertainment.

I mean Apex Legends is going to Mobile. Switch uses a mobile processor, just with active cooling. Why not join the the last of the big 3 console userbases that still hasn't gotten Apex Legends..? Especially now since the existing Apex userbase has stagnated.

Can see it now, Apex Legends trailer pops up in Direct, at the end says "Available Now"

I wonder what it'd take for Respawn to get Apex Legends on Switch running at 60fps...

Only on top end apple phones. By now they should get it up on top end android phones but haven't yet. But the issue with Apex Legends is Source's scalability

Interesting. I guess we'll see. Apex Legends at 30fps would feel like quite the compromise to me but I'd be willing to try it out.

😂



He thinks it's a grittier redesign of Monita.


I'm convinced that 90% of Nintendo YouTubers got a Pokérus infection rotting their brain.

I have so many no's for this video, why should there be a grittier redesign of Monita? Why would Retro be making Nintendo Land 2?

That doesn't even make sense.

I'm pretty sure a Retro Studio's Nintendo Land 2 would cause more anger than DKCTF did lol.

The backlash that would come with Retro working on Nintendo Land 2 for the last 5 years...

He's trying so hard to fit something to the robot hand, which we don't even know if it's part of a game. He's not thinking clearly whatsoever.

Like you said, "why would Retro make a grittier redesign of Monita?"? That makes no sense...this is Nintendo.
