Itl be released next holiday or 2019

There is a new 3ds metroid: samus returns coming out in the meantime and it looks pretty good too.

The switch just released. I doubt it will be the same.

That was whack

I know, I literally just said this in the Pokemon article

We've just ripped the shit and mostly agreed with each other that despite who we thought "won" that Microsofts and even Sonys were filled with games we already knew about and games which won't be coming for a long while, possibly next year. However this gets a free pass and suddenly it's "Nintendo Won". I can't see Metroid out next year, not even Pokemon. Early 2019 titles at the most.

Even with games like The Last Guardian or Final Fantasy XV a decade ago they were announced with something.

I don't know that "Nintendo won", but the excitement is over the possibilities sparked by the announcement. Who here didn't have memories of Samus jumping out of her ship on to a space derelict while that bass ambiance permeates, and then the familiar theme tune plays as we dive into her helmet? The mere possibility of a new such experience is worth more to me than half the trailers at the show.

Yeah? Because The Last of Us Part 2 has gotten nothing but praise for being a "soulless announcement" with no gameplay or screen shots. Same with Good Beyond Evil 2, And Shenmue 3...but yeah nNintendo getting attacked is special treatment apparently.

Because no release dates were mentioned and other games releasing in 2018 had release dates, I'm skeptical this will release before 2019. I can wait though.

For real though, people just trying to downplay it but they know it's another amazing game

OK, but where are the games that are coming out between now and 2019 (at the earliest)? There's no way either a Pokemon game that doesn't even have a title and Metroid Prime 4 are coming out next year, and all we have to look forward to is Xenoblade 2 and Mario Odyssey this year, with some rehashes of Yoshi and Kirby next year.

The problem here isn't with "Oh they shouldn't have announced them"...far from it, it's the hypocrisy from what's just happened at the other conferences that people have bitched about yet it's happened here and suddenly it's like "they shot this out of the park" or "they won". I just hate double standards in general that's all. I'm glad they are coming but at least give us something...having nothing to show seems like they could be a while out. It's nice to see support which is what we wanted but it's more to do with the reason I've made above more then anything.

@Serv That whole direct was about games coming out this year or next. Treehouse will have other announcements (smaller obviously) like always. There is no pleasing the anti-Nintendo crowd.

@Foxtrot There's no hypocrisy on my end. The Sony and Microsoft conferences didn't have as much I'm interested in. I didn't even say Nintendo won (though between what I saw and now know is coming, I'm personally happiest after theirs). "Winning" E3 is just a stupid fanboy **** measuring contest. Everyone likes different stuff. I was hoping there'd be more announced for PS4 that I'm interested in, but it wasn't much for me. Other people love Spider-Man and God of War. I don't. I was disappointed, but it's no big deal. Days Gone looks good, and I'm sure there will plenty for me to buy for the system the next year or two. For Nintendo, after the recent Pokemon Direct, I was losing faith that they'd be smart enough to do a Pokemon RPG for the Switch, so I'm happy knowing that it's actually happening. Is it some over-the-top, "winning" move? No, but I did have nearly the same reaction to finding out it was finally happening as I did to the FF7 remake. You can't skip an opportunity to bash though.

Theres TONS of sick games coming to Switch, the list is getting silly.

MP4 will probably be next years big holiday title. It's been rumored to be in development for a few years now.

I mean I don't disagree with you that they're probably going to be waiting for a while but I don't really think that's a problem.

Nintendo's problem is simply that lots of people might be on the fence of purchasing it because of questionable support these announcements even without trailers at least have some people comfortable about the systems future enough to an invest in it today.

I may not agree with how the announcement went down but I definitely 100% agree that it needed to happen.

I mean this person just guaranteed they were going to buy a switch because of this announcement so I would argue that they did their job simply by seeing some of the comments lots of people feel more comfortable about their purchase knowing that there's going to be support in the future.

Once again I don't necessarily agree that there's no trailer but I believe that it's more important that they let people know that it exists at all because I just don't think they could afford to go into the holiday season with people not knowing what the future is in store for that platform.

With Nintendo basically having very little third-party support they were just going to get eaten alive in the fall by Battlefront Destiny Call of Duty and all the other juggernauts. This makes sense for Nintendo much more than it ever would Sony or Microsoft because they already have deep established bases with a crap ton of games to where they could afford to hold off so many announcements

At this point Nintendo just does not have that luxury.

They're losing market share and they need to do something about it.

So I would say this was the right choice even if it's not that glamorous, they just need to get the word out that these exist at all.

@summ-I'm extremely doubtful that that game is coming next fall for god sakes there's not even any footage of the game. I mean all of us were doubtful that God of War was going to be coming fall 2017 LAST YEAR even with all the footage we saw the year before so I'm not entirely sure why you really think this is coming next year fall.

"No, you have to buy a Switch right now in order to get a game that doesn't come out for at least two years!"

Damn. Can't believe I missed that layup.

lol

Prime 4.

I'm sure them and their 10k readers will come after me. 🤣🤣
