[Zippo]

They did it. 

They actually did it. 

Why in the world does this actually look good?!

Some potentially exciting news for those wrorried that there wouldn't be any new game announcements. Both Best Buy and Gamestop are listing three unannounced Switch games. We know for sure that one is Mario + Rabbids, but the other two are not known. Best Buy even says the games will be announced at E3.

What do you guys think they could be?

Well shit. The Gamestop listing looks to be legit. They listed a 100 dollar Switch SKI and it turned out to be real. We're getting 3 new game announcements tomorrow, at the very least. 

[JaidynReiman]

It should be noted those figures aren't amiibo, though.

[Shiny Gems]

So, where can I watch the Spotlight event, just to make sure?

[Zippo]

After Sony and Microsoft have given us underwhelming conferences, it's obvious to me now:

This is Nintendo's chance to strike while the iron is HOT!

Well, Skyrim Switch, Arms, Splatoon, Pokken Tourney Dx and Mario Rabbids are all out of the way. Only games we know are likely/will definitely show up are SMO, Xenoblade 2, Fire Emblem 2018/Warriors.... and that's it. If their last Direct pacing is any example we could be in for quite a bit.

 

My bets on Retro's new game, and a new game or two from Konami/partnered. maybe one or two other retail, then a few smaller scale. That and with everybody thinking it won't happen, VC would also be a huge surprise

[Zippo]

Please happen. 

[Zippo]

I'm sure it means nothing, but people are speculating about From Software and Platinum being No-Shows so far, and are wondering if that means something could happen in the morning.

 

If fucking only.  Could you imagine?

Honestly speaking if we were to get a dark souls port announcement along with a new platinum game on switch "Sheer heart attack" would not be enough to describe how happy i'd be.

...I have no idea what any of the clues mean can someone fill me in

[Marcello]

I swear, if that "Let's just say people might be getting double what they asked for from the return of a long awaited franchise." doesn't mean 2 new Metroid games, I'll post either here or in the chat room that I'm crying even though I'm not.

So watch out, Nintendo and NimbusCub... 

[Zippo]

I know everyone is asleep by this point but does anyone have any idea what his clues mean? I'm stumped.

Hard to say.  One idea is that there's a winter theme of some sort and as for Green Lantern, well... I'm a little stumped on that.  Metroid does come to mind, since GL has a couple parallels with it (kinda) such as being set in space and Samus being a galaxy protector herself.  It's all very broad really. 

[Zippo]

Best guess I've seen so far:

Overwatch port, then?  Unless it's something all new that is.

[Zippo]

People seem to be thinking Hearthstone, because of how much a perfect fit it is for the system. 

[Zippo]

HOLLLLY SHIT. 

NimbusCub was apparently verified by a mod to not be making it up. A Blizzard game is coming and a series is making a comeback. One for Switch, one for 3DS.

Lost Vikings?

[Zippo]

No clue. He says he's keeping it vague so his sources are protected, but says we have guessed correctly what the franchise is. The Blizzard game and the Switch/3DS games are two separate things apparently. Metroid has the most guesses looking at the thread itself.

[Remy]

New real metroid would be fucking awesome.

 

I was kidding with Lost Vikings because it's what I think of with blizzard and ninty. A new one might be fun tho lol. 

[Pawn]

I'm expecting the Switch physical version of Mania (assuming that it does indeed exist) to be announced at some point during the Treehouse. Hopefully we'll see a more substantial amount of Forces.

Hope we see a new Switch bundle announced. I've not got one yet

[Kevin]

Ok, Nintendo. So far MS and Sony have been underwhelming. Let's see if you can top them.

[Zippo]

METROID PRIME 4 IS REAL

AHHHHHHH
