E3 2017: The Thread

[Fuzz]

Well we didn't actually "see" Metroid. At least it is in development!

[SuperMatt18]

New Yoshi game announced for Switch as well - 2018 release.

Are we talking about 4K @ 30 FPS or 1080p @ 30 FPS? I would take 4K @ 30 FPS.

This Mario game looks so weird.

They weren't kidding when they said the next one wouldn't be a traditional style Mario. Releasing a month ahead of US Thanksgiving is interesting too. And a good move, I think. Get out ahead of the shopping rush.

Also, I think Nintendo won E3. There's a good six games there that I'm picking up day one.

Metroid, Rocket League, Zelda DLC and Mario are must buys for me. What else did you see?

I think they have announced enough for Switch to keep the interest up. I know Steep is coming as well, but haven't seen a date yet? Hopefully with the Olympic add on included.

I'm a huge Metroid fan, but after Other M and Federation Force, I'm going to need some solid proof that the game is going to be good before buying it.

The last good Metroid game was Another Metroid 2 Remake, and that was fan made!

(I should probably note - as a game Federation Force isn't exactly bad, but tagging on the Metroid title to it was a very bad idea)

[OutOfTheCube]

My wife is a big Yoshi game fan so we'll be on that one too.

Mario Odyssey looks predictably awesome, and totally weird. Metroid Prime 4 is a great surprise. Portable Rocket League is awesome!

Surprised they didn't show a Smash Bros. port though, that seemed like a sure thing to me.

[Fuzz]

I wonder who is developing Prime 4? Retro? As long as it isn't Team Ninja....

As I said, I'm a sucker for Mario, so Odyssey and that Yoshi game are both getting bought. Also, Xenoblade 2, FE Warriors, the Zelda DLC and Rocket League. Maybe Kirby. Maybe Mario x Rabbids if I can get over the look of the rabbids. We already knew about most of these games, but all the confirmed release dates is good to have.


Also, anyone want to take bets on whether Chemgear booked a flight to Japan the moment he learned about Mario Kart 8 Arcade VR?

Nothing about it being enhanced/upgraded to 60FPS in the future. I would be shocked if Bungie doesn't offer an update to allow 4k 60FPS on consoles for Destiny 2 eventually.

Pretty great 1st year for the switch if Nintendo hits their Mario date.

[Resolute 14]

I honestly can't remember the last time Nintendo missed a firm release date, so I'd be pretty confident they will hit October 27.

[Fuzz]

Ya, the delay games all the time, but when they get to the point where they specify an exact date, I think they always hit it.

[OutOfTheCube]

If you aren't watching the Nintendo stream they just announced a remake of Metroid II for 3DS! 2D Metroid on :3DS out this year!

[Fuzz]

Awesome!!!!

Hell ya.

[Mazrim]

Watched a very short amount of the stream (using data sucks) and maybe it's just the person playing but the smooth movement of Samus you'd expect isn't there (yet) in the 3DS remake. She also has a counterattack move ala Other M. Didn't see any morph ball, just crouching? Small sample size, I know.

I guess Another Metroid 2 Remake didn't die for nothing! I'm really glad Metroid is finally getting another chance.

[Fuzz]

Looks smooth to me. And yes, there is morph ball. I think it looks like a very good game so far.

so basically you are buying every game released for the system day one

Super Smash Bros. Brawl got delayed twice from firm dates. The second time just a few weeks before it was going to come out. It was so sad.
