So bad.
Everything wrong except Just Dance being a launch game, and Sonic.
I still believe they should keep with the original 2D approach. But nothing forbids them to have the same approach as we see in Metroid. You get a first person adventurer, sometimes a side-scrolling action game and there's room even for even a new style like a third-view action game. I can see it working beautifully.
Oh so it could just be a port of symphony of the night
Blast from the past.
These crazy rumors is part of what made the Switch presentation a big disappointment. There were so many rumors of the Switch having the best ever collection of Launch games, that the actual initial line-up was just Zelda and filler.
Still. Port X one day, would love to dive back into that one.

I would rather if people just posted their rumors like they normally would and not in this thread.
The point of this thread is not for people to post their rumors, because then the thread would get 50-100 pages over one silly rumor and then it would get locked. The point is to have an archive or old and new rumors and if they have been confirmed or not.
I can fix that if you want. Which one is you?
Nah, it is fine. I'm DirectFeedGames.
I exist in the hearts of those who believe.
I'll never forget the Mother 3 release reports from Eurogamer and Emily.

And here are links to a post string that Wesley Yin-Poole, a Eurogamer deputy editor, posted in about Mother 3's release.

But Switch's launch year is indeed one of the best ever.
My pet peeve with some fans is they get delusions of grandeur and can't see the forest from the trees and we all have to suffer through their meltdowns and constant negativity after an event.
These still hurt so bad. Seeing all of these rumors (and assuming they're real) you can really see that Nintendo is sitting in a shit-ton of stuff to prevent the WiiU draughts.
Just give us a proper VC, and why not, Mother 3 (or should we say: Earthbound 2?)

I now see the dangers of my thread getting locked by thread derails.
I want to let people know that the thread is NOT to post new rumors. Anyone that wants to post new rumors can post them like they would normally do (on other threads/twitter/reddit/etc). I will then add them to the archive once they have been verified or gained traction.
I know it's only a matter of time before someone posts a rumor about some high profile game coming to Switch to increase the thread to 200 pages before getting it locked. I want to avoid that.

In the shadows I sneak, dropping hints no one will see.
Preorders can still count as purchases, I'm assuming. I'd imagine both Bayo 3 and Pokémon will be shown within the next 12 months, which means they should be available for preorder by then too. I wouldn't read too much into that when it comes to potential release timing.
Like everyone even borderline reputable has mentioned Mother 3 at some point so either it's a fake tidbit Nintendo spreads around to smoke out leakers or they're holding it hostage for the online like I assume is happening for the rest of VC.
My guess: Mother 3 would have happened with the release of Virtual Console, but Virtual Console is never coming out after the SNES and NES Classic so RIP Mother 3.
Bayo 3 is already up for preorders basically everywhere, and so is Metroid that is absent from that list.
At the very least, another game in the style of Castlevania Rebirth would be just fine by me. Just give us a CV3 remake using the Netflix anime as a base.
I definitely think Virtual Console, at least how we're used to seeing it, is dead. It just seems inevitable that they'll tie its successor into their online service and they don't seem to be in a hurry to show any part of that.
Sounds like Thursday's announcement won't be the time either. My guess would be E3. It's where the original VC service was unveiled.
That wouldn't make sense because the classic consoles only have 30 or so games, the snes had more than 30 games
So we are stuck with that limited amount forever?
If they would have offered an online store on the nes or snes Classic that offered all of them then I could see how that would have killed the VC but there isnt
Shadow of the Tomb Raider?
Is this the misterious SE game they're talking about? :P
I'd expect that stuff to appear in a proper direct though a short video highlighting the features like the switch reveal trailer could also work with maybe more info in said proper direct.
Why not? It would make sense to roll it out with a big multiplayer title and they don't have one scheduled before E3.
No one's forcing Nintendo to do anything they don't want to do, especially now when they're killing it. They've got plenty of time.
To delay their online stuff even further (because you know if they talk about it at E3 it wouldn't roll out until after that) would be a mess. For a service that was supposed to launch last year, then combined with the app mess, no one really has faith in their online service. And the longer they go saying nothing, the less confident people get.
Counterpoint: the longer they take to prep the service, the better shape it'll be in when it actually launches.
Also, no one's buying a Nintendo console because of their online service.
So much wrong
The one that was always weird to me was the whole Zelda delay and Mario at launch rumors. Those never made a lick of sense. Zelda had been shown over and over. Playable at E3, more gameplay footage at the game awards, it was the game that Jimmy Fallon demo'd on The Tonight Show. That was never gonna miss launch for a game we had seen 5 seconds of with less than 2 months to go till launch
And Sonic Forces (then known as Project Sonic 2017) had been announced months before for Switch. It was announced for NX as a matter of fact.
If she had said Sonic Mania, then that would've been something cause that wasn't confirmed for Switch until after the presentation.
The point is, going as far as midway through the second year of the console's life cycle to figure out your online service is a joke in this day and age.
Yeah, the only way to communicate with other Switch users is through Rocket League. That seems... Very not ok.
I'd sure like to. I almost did during the Wii era to play Fortune Street with friends. This day and age I believe we should expect it. Nintendo should be delivering on this. We live in a connected world.
