| super_etecoon said: I'll say this: While some of her data may be right, I really doubt she predicted Nintendo Labo. That's a glaring omission in a release calendar. All it would take to change the narrative of this information is for Animal Crossing, Metroid Prime 4, Pokemon, or Pikmin 4 to be released. And this doesn't even assume that Nintendo could announce a title at E3 that could launch at holiday. I would definitely wait to condemn the company that has been making all of the right moves lately until 2018 is through or at least E3 2018. Some here are already writing epitaphs, but maybe they just enjoy playing grim reaper. |
So a guy named Chrom on Resetera posted that Nintendo was releasing a Nintendo Direct of sorts that would cover a new way to play, with a full Nintendo Direct coming in February (he has since walked back on the February Direct, as he believes it will be non-Direct or product specific Direct for the Labo). Emily reiterated that the announcement would appeal to non-gamers and it would combine an accessory with a game and that it would not be covered in a Direct but rather a video (all of this turned out to be correct). She also stated that Nintendo is aiming at broadening their audience this year but not at the expense of core gamers (whom, according to Emily, they believe will be catered to by third-parties). So while she did not specifically leak all the details about Labo, she did get many of reveal details correct before it came out.
On a slightly more positive note she did say to expect many major surprises for Switch this year from third-parties and that Switch would have the best third-party support since GameCube.
