Nintendo's entire E3 gameslist was leaked like a week or two in advance but nobody believed it and called bullshit because it said stuff like "Xenoblade2" and "ARMS." Things like Ryu and the whole Smash Bros lineup also got leaked way in advance, Nintendo seems to not be as airtight anymore

Yeah. Which is what I am saying... :) I want there to be a cool reveal on something soon, but this industry is bad at keeping a lid on things. There are always leaks. So I think I am setting my expectations low for anything other than release dates, and instead putting my hopes on a soon date for ARMS. (which, even then, if it was SUPER soon, I think we'd have heard about it. :\)

It was funny about the Switch Presentation because for months we had these Twitter jerks "leaking" poo poo like Breath of the Wild not making launch or Splatoon Remastered existing but the real leaks came from some dude who just happened to be setting the demo stations up at the event and said jerks fell over themselves to say this dude was making it all up and welp

The Unseen64 guy was so mad that Zelda was starting to appear not delayed in the last weeks leading up to the event and he was going to be wrong about it, he put out a statement saying it was a shame it wasn't being delayed and being put out in an incomplete state.

Arms coming out in May could be suicide if it's anywhere near late May, where Injustice 2 and/or Prey would be launching

And I don't think the overlap for M-rated 2D fighting games and sci-fi shooters compared to all-ages Nintendo fighter is that great. It's not like they're pitting ARMS against Red Dead Redemption 2 or something that's going to sell a billion copies either.

Yay, I just go my left Joy-Con back from Nintendo and it looks like they didn't actually do anything. The letter in the box listed the fault as an 'Operating system problem' and I very quick test in the analogue stick calibration screen looks like I'm still having connection problems.

Wow, that is really bad. I was figuring ARMS by the end of May with Splatoon 2 by July.

But to be honest I'll be good with MK8 for a long long time.

So Nintendo is spacing the releases out in roughly 2 month intervals then?

Zelda - 3rd March
Mario Kart - 28th April
ARMS - 23rd June
Splatoon 2 - 18th August
Mario Odyssey - ~October

That means they have all their primary releases out before the Holiday period.
Add to the already impressive 3rd party catalogue, and I think it's safe to say that Nintendo are going to absolutely destroy the charts on the back of early adopter gamers hyping the gently caress out of this thing.

Wouldn't it have been better to release Splatoon 2 on like the first week of July or sometime around then when all the kids are finally getting out of school?

I'm glad they're taking time on Splatoon. The testfire felt pretty early.

Not a huge deal but it would be nice if they could bump the TV resolution to 1080p. It looks almost like the Wii U one so hopefully.

Yeah that is a really late release date for a title that looked, basically, like it was ready for final testing during the testfire.

e; swear to god if they delayed splatoon because their voice chat app won't be ready until then :laffo:

The stealth section, along with several other things, is why Zelda isn't really that good of a game overall.

:sad:


The cool thing about the "Stealth escort mission" is that, as people have mentioned, there are a number of different ways to beat it. So much of the game is playable in totally different ways. You can go all sneaky-ninja or all smashy barbarian, you can use Runes a lot for a variety of things, change equipment frequently or not, rely on rods or bows vs swords, ride, walk, or warp - even skip most of the story and sidequests and hardmode right to the boss. It's really very open to different playstyles.

That stealth mission was piss easy to me but that's maybe because I play stealthily a lot already and I have a 150 hours in MGSV (the next best open world game after BOTW).

MK8D for 2500 RUB/44 USD. Not a bad deal but I can't get mad about someone else buying a switch a month after launch and getting a slightly better deal than I did.

It makes sense financially, but I am really surprised that the MK8 bundle doesn't have unique Joycons
