superchunk on 05 June 2017
During E3:
- the Switch is going to get atleast one significant game that is going to piss off the incorrectly named "core" gaming community.
* First time in last few E3s this didn't happen. - the Switch is going to have the longest lines and attendance of any other product.
* Saw videos of people running to Nintendo's booth area. Too lazy to hunt for data-driven answer, but based on Odyssey appeal and the many, many reports that Nintendo won E3, I'm just going to say this was a win. - the Switch is going to get support for at least one major AAA game launching in 2018.
* Sadly, nothing was shown but Beyond Good & Evil 2. However that game is not 2018. - EA is going to continue to be a dick-hole with "unprecedented" low-quality support in an attempt to repeat WiiU blacklist for all EA yearly franchises.
* True - no other yearly games mentioned yet. (probably coming in 2018) - people are going to really not like Switch's phone/app/chat system. Nintendo has to Nintendo something otherwise its not Nintendo.
* True - few interviews pushing in on this concept. Clearly not liked. But not fully explained yet either. - it'll be clear 3DS is being laid to rest.
* Arguable. 3DS this year is light though big Metroid game announced. - Metroid or Pikmin will be teased for 2018
* WIN!!! Metroid Prime 4. :) Though not in 2018 and surprising not big mention of Pikmin either. - Virtual Console will be a no show and instead Nintendo will highlight the online service and its Classics library offering.
* True - We will finally get to see what Retro has been doing... a 2018 game.
* Nope. Retro is not doing MP4 and nothing that was shown was directly mentioned as a Retro game. - First Apps will be highlighted for Switch. (I actually don't want this, but I think it is inevitable)
* Actually nope. Maybe they'll stick with what I want and no apps ever. Just pure gaming console.
What are your superchunky predictions?
* EDITED above for results! (as of June 16) Overall I was about 50% right.
