Fucking phenomenal lineup ao far. They've got new entries in just about every single one of their major franchises coming, minus Donkey Kong and Animal Crossing. And many of their internal teams have unannounced games coming (Retro, Next Level, Sakurai). Not only that, some franchises are guaranteed to be making the jump to Switch (2D Mario, Smash, Animal Crossing)
We've got two more days of Treehouse live. Who knows what else is coming?

 I think we could see something from Konami and platinum but I'm not really expecting anything first party 

[Zippo]

Yeah, for sure. They made it very clear that they basically weren't showing anything from next year.  Smash Bros. and Retro's game will get their time another day.

I'm amazed they didn't talk about the only service or virtual console

Given that their online service roll-out has been pushed into next year, it makes sense that they won't want to talk about it until much closer to that time too.

Which sucks. I just want to know if my purchases will carry forward. I still haven't boughten Pokémon Red or Blue because of that and now we're already getting Gold and Silver... And now that we're getting the Metroid 2 remake, I'd love to get Zero Mission on Wii U... Though, I'll probably cave for that one. :-/

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IN THE NINTENDO BOOTH AND WATCHING AT HOME.....

 

Either Nintendo are being the biggest assholes ever or they're teasing something for tomorrow.

There we go. Pikmin 4 is confirmed to be separate from the 3DS game, is still in development, but Miyamoto couldn't say much more than that. While not said in the article itself, Pikmin 4 is most definitely a Switch game

[JaidynReiman]

Yeah, pretty much. With AC (we're getting a new Mobile AC, there will be one on Switch) and Smash (there's always a new Smash and Reggie heavily teased it) essentially confirmed, the only core Nintendo IP yet to have a Switch game announced is DK. Currently DK doesn't have anything on the cards in the future, so I'm hoping for just a port announcement of DKC: TF so we know there's something on the cards for DK's future.
