Forums - Nintendo Discussion - [RUMOR] NeoGAF Insider's farewell to website is list of news concerning Nintendo - Metroid Direct in January

NeoGAF insider ElectricBlanketFire supposedly decided to spill out all of his knowledge concerning Nintendo due to NeoGAF's sittuation . 

This is what he claims to know about the future of the Switch:

-A sequel to a 3DS game is coming to Switch. Remember what was said about new character inclusion for Smash.
-Netflix (but not Hulu) are coming Q1. Announcement will be tied with a Netflix-produced show.
-Themes will arrive with a Dec. 25 update. Free if you own the game or amiibo.
-Metroid Prime 4 will have a subtitle that people know, Q4 at the earliest. First footage in January Direct.
-Little Mac was almost in ARMS. There's a reason he's not.
-A new spinoff is coming exclusively to the eShop using assets from a game already released

This is all very interesting, although I hate rumors in a weird sort of way. They're like spoilers that don't spoil enough. Really they kind of just make me angry when they're THIS vague.

Always nice to get predictions precise enough to debunk the source in a timely manner :P

Will have to keep these in mind.



All too good to be true.

Maybe not all, but the Netflix and Metroid seem to imply crazy stuff.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

If the Metroid ones are true, I expect the game to release Holiday or Winter 2018.

The lack of stretchable arms is a pretty good reason to not include Little Mac in ARMS.



Punch Out Switch incoming then? Sounds good.

~~~~ Mario Kart 8 drove far past my expectations! Never again will I doubt the wheels of a Monster Franchise! :0 ~~~~

Man, if the theme and Nintendo Netflix show rumor are true, this will be very exciting!

And not that Im not excited about the rest, but I mean, it was 100% certain we would get a Metroid Prime footage eventually, Punch Out always comes back from the dead, specially given that little Mac was on Smash, and as for the other two, they are too vague to be excited about it or even guess something(other than the 3DS news.I want to Nintendo to stop supporting it and just go full Switch!)



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

I love the "A sequel to a 3DS game is coming to Switch. Remember what was said about new character inclusion for Smash" part. It's not like the 3DS had tons of games that could end up making an appearence in Smash or anything.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

If this is true that'd be sweet, I would love a new Punch-Out!! title. I enjoyed the hell out of the last one for Wii, give it a bit more depth and an online ranking system like Mario Strikers Charged and I'd spend hours on that.
