IIIRC it was Wario Land Gold, Link's Awakening remake, and VB Wario Land remake. Though it was stated that those games were for 3DS games and it's probably bullshit anyway.

It does not. More 2D platformers? Everywhere you look at eShop is 2D platformers. And we got indies getting almost as good as Nintendo at this job. Nintendo, having much more money and resources than indies should focus on genres that are out of smaller devs reach: 3D games. 3D platformers and slashers.
If there's going to be a Wario game, it should be a 3D platformer. Wario deserves his own "odyssey".
maybe Nintendo is planning to launch Nintendo. It would make sense
I asked Imran on a thread here some weeks before the Direct, but he said it's not done by Retro Studios.
They were almost 100% spot-on with WarioWare Gold and Link's Awakening remake could have been moved from 3DS to Switch but those two weren't very difficult to guess. Wario Land VB on the other hand...
That's so beautiful! Hopefully the EU version won't suck.
Unless we see the Wario Land VB remake happen (either on the 3DS as the leak stated or revived on the Switch with VR), I just think that stuff was all a lucky guess. While the details for WarioWare add up (besides a few small inaccuracies), I find it very strange that so much would have changed in regards to the other two games (reveal and release timing delays, cancelled marketing plans, a system change, etc). I don't buy that.
We already know what that looks like. It was shown in/right after the Direct.
NA:
Oh, I am also 99% sure that it was a lucky guess based on sensible speculation and/or maybe they just added more stuff to the WarioWare Gold rumour to obfuscate.
But I personally wouldn't be surprised if some 3DS games were moved to the Switch once they realized how successful it was and how the 3DS basically tanked in sales.
The JP steelbook and collector box look so much betterWe already know what that looks like. It was shown in/right after the Direct.
NA:
They were able to guess Dillon's 3rd game as well, so there might be some truth to the whole Wario Land remake, even if it might've been cancelled/rebooted/moved to another system.
Actually, Dillon 3 was already revealed in the Japanese September 2017 Direct before that post was made (which is why they specified that it will be announced for the west).
Ah, I see, I completely missed that. Well, it could've been worse, besides the fact that we're getting shafted with a bloody USB sound selection instead of the proper CD, but well, it's a tradition for EU collector's editions to miss cool items in favour of inane badge pin sets lol.We already know what that looks like. It was shown in/right after the Direct.
NA:
I'm definitely not salty LMAO
Uh, for some reason, I believed the post was made back in early 2017.
Still think there's truth to it. Games being moved happens all the time, and HD development could justify delays.
I guess so, but in this case it just seems too unrealistic of a scenario. Plans for special edition and console bundle releases of Link's Awakening scrapped completely, a mobile Zelda game delayed as well, Wario Land VB supposedly being delayed/cancelled/whatever so close to the release date (Late 2017 - Q2 2018) while WarioWare ended up releasing a bit later than the leak implied.
I'd love to be wrong (because a VB Wario Land remake would be great; even Skip wouldn't be able mess it up too bad), but again, I don't know if I can buy this.
You're definitely right there. If the 3DS really dies without getting a Virtual Boy collection or any remake/re-release of a VB game, they really missed a great opportunity there (at least until we find out if Labo VR will support proper first-party games; then the dream comes back to life).
Looks nice! Hopefully it comes out in the US, would be an awesome gift for my gf :D
One of the few times I agree with ALunar
Nintendo UK has a picture of the EU version

Will Monolith Softs action game be revealed this year? We know they've been working on it with a newly developed second team at the latest since August 2017. A new IP will take longer to make with lots more play testing, engine adjustments (which engine are they using?) Gameplay and story structure need to be created from scratch so that'll take more time to get feedback and fix it up to perfection.
While that is going on, the first division team was finishing up Xenoblade 2 and working on Torna the Golden Country throughout the development up to August 2018. Then that team immediately began development on the next game. So the second division team most likely didnt get too much help from the first team.
Also since there's two games being developed concurrently, it would be inefficient to have both teams simultaneously work on isolated versions of the Xenoblade engine for their games. I doubt they'd be able to crisscross over engine improvements between teams halfway through development of their games. So if both teams were using the Xenoblade 2 engine, then engine improvements would have to be done in isolation, effectively double the amount of work put into improving the engine simply because they have to make two versions of the same engine. Unless both teams have some sort of database to share engine improvements/adjustments to double team one single engine in mid development?

I doubt we'll see their new game this year. I used to think we could see it in the September Direct, but not anymore. I see it revealed in a January/February 2020 direct.
This could means Wario Land VB remake is coming to Switch...or got canceled.
WarioWare Gold wasn't that hard to guess, considering it got the same treatment its sister franchise Rhythm Heaven did.

What's interesting is that Nintendo was hiring for the Zelda team last Summer. We assumed it was for the BOTW sequel, but could have been for this.

Any of it? Or just bolded? Isn't the default text black in general?
This is how it looks on my computer screen
It's even a little harder to read on mobile unfortunately
You (or the editor borking) colored the text black instead of leaving it as whatever the default color is per theme.
Are you sure that Link's Awakening is developed by epd3?!
it hasn't been stated otherwise if Grezzo is working on it or not. until then, just easier to list EPD 3
this is a full-on remake, not just a relatively minor asset polish. there's no way EPD3 isn't on this.
Neither of the 3D Zelda remakes were just minor graphical polishes. Wouldn't be surprised if Grezzo or 1-UP were helping on LA.
EPD 9 are almost definitely working on Mario Kart Tour, but I think they might also be preparing some new addition to 8 Deluxe to go along with the release of Tour.
EPD 7 is a bit harder to pick out, but I HOPE they are working on another Tomodachi game or Rhythm Heaven.
The Arms team is definitely working on something, I seriously doubt Tour is taking up all of the resources on them. They seem to have a turnaround of about 3 years or so, hypothetically speaking, their next game could be ready by next Summer.
I also wonder what studio is doing the animation for the cutscenes in Link's Awakening.

My guess is another new IP. It's too soon for either Mario Kart 9 (due to 8 Deluxe still printing money) or ARMS 2.
I really think we'll start to see that "continued support for evergreen titles" idea mentioned here pop up this year, with a decently sized (paid) expansion to 8 Deluxe.
That might just be wishful thinking though. I just want more Mario Kart.
Even maybe Labo VR support is included on that, either on Mario Kart or ARMS.
