NICE!! I'll have just gotten home from work.
The dreamer/optimist is pulling for AC based on the retweets, etc. But I truly think it's going to be something none of us were expecting (good or bad thing).
Angry? That's not quite fair man. Nintendo have always made games aimed for children. The majority of them have been great too. We already had a mini Direct for more hardcore games and are apparently having another in February. This is an embarrassment of riches for Switch owners right now regardless who you are. A new casual aimed game suitable for kids will be a genius announcement if it's well done.

So there was already a press event? Interesting. Can't wait to see what it is and unfortunately there will be a lot of overreactions since there's an announcement that's not specifically targeting the core gamers.
Thread title, brah ;)
This thread is kind of hilarious. Not every game is for you, not every system is for you. Nintendo will make different things to capture different markets. It's not a waste of resources, especially if the plan works.
As I said earlier, the problem is that it takes EPD's ressources away from new IPs like Splatoon, Arms or new entries from fan's favorites. Games that already appeal to a wide range of gamers.
Blasphemy. I was hard core gamer since I first played SNES when five. ;)
This thread starts to look like a huge source of material for Jim Sterling Commentocracy videos.
My supposition would be some kind of TCG with Nintendo Characters (possible compatibility with amiibos even), with NFC inside to play with characters/equipements on the Switch.
That way would be an HUGE money factory and i see it really trendy between children, with an accessory witch make the game more impressive on the console (may be possible to play without that maybe)

Found the first leak. New peripheral turns your switch into a literal baby! What they meant to say is the Switch will give you new ways of taking care of a child.
Wasn't there a rumor about the Switch getting GC Virtual Console with Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, and a third game, and then something about Animal Crossing GC getting reworked for it?
GameCube JoyCons and Animal Crossing GCN remixed into interactive Virtual Console service (remember you collected NES carts) confirmed
I edited my post to reflect my feelings more accurately. I have nothing against Nintendo appealing to all audiences, I just hope I can get in on the action and enjoy this too.
Fair lol. I'll edit mine to be a little less rude, sorry
I think the way they've used the word crafted is interesting.
I think it's maybe going to be Nintendo's own version of Lego possibly? Build your own Nintendo levels/worlds out of bricks and then use your amiibo characters on said worlds.
I honestly have no idea.

Was thinking about something like that. Kinda like AtmosFear or something:
Or A Pokemon card deck etc
This is what it is , isnt it?
Even game is probably similiar. They may even licenced Stranger Things and making game for it with tablet on table top mode while table,icons etc comes from package
What about this?

Do we even know it's made by EPD yet? But even if it is they've always made casual games so wouldn't be surprising or a negative development. At least it's not virtually all Nintendo are doing like in the Wii Music days.
My gut says whatever it is will heavily leverage the portability of the device. Stuff like Pokemon GO, DS/3DS success, etc show that there is a huge draw to software that is enhanced by or integral to portability. Nintendo also recognises that children in particular get out and about and play on the go; hence the success of their portable systems, in particular the Pokemon series and Animal Crossing. I doubt Nintendo want's to invest in huge casual/youth targeted experience that requires customers be locked to the device in their home. Especially considering the importance of portable devices in Japan versus home consoles. They'll want something that get's people out and about and, to some extent, engaging with each other.
To the Switch's benefit, and maybe something we forget, the entire system's horsepower can be taken anywhere you go. Unlike the peripheral heavy Wii that while big on wireless motion devices still had you locked to console based in a home, Nintendo could cook up almost anything that replaces a joycon slot or whatever or wirelessly connects to the device as an additional peripheral and the base device can go anywhere alongside with it. There's no practical limitation to the technology and processing power, no need to make something that feels totally detached or disconnected from the home system. No different to a phone or a tablet or the 3DS/DS, Nintendo can make whatever they want (software and/or hardware) knowing that these experimental offshoots and gimmicks will always be portable.

My prediction : Amiibo Mine Animal Crossingsly Builders with accessory "New Power Crafting Glove "
Many casual games in the Wii/DS era were extremely creative, much much more than the vast majority of hardcore games in the same period and since then. It's ok if you don't like them but these were at the very least totally valid and respectable from an artistic standpoint. And being able to like games also for what they add artistically/creatively especially in terms of gameplay, as this is the main aspect in gaming, is what being a "hardcore gamer" should also be about imo.
I wouldn't function. My wallet would be gone and I'd be dangerously obsessed. High key hoping this is the case now
Thanks. Only hype now. No sanity allowed.You asked and shall receive:
You asked and shall receive:
Wouldnt be surprised if its Animal Crossing AR game with you buy something like this
And table top switch. Mario Party type of game for Animal Crossing even maybe
I'd say maybe some crazy new version of Mario Party, but The Top 100 just came out a few months back. I'm guessing it'll be a new IP.
