Nintendo's paid online and E3 conference leaked. guy says he is positive!

-Nintendo’s releasing details about their Online Service on May 7th.

-Service goes live on September 24th

-Service offers dedicated voice chat through an existing chat service, Discord being the most popular choice, exclusive Eshop discounts, and a Games With Gold/PlayStation Plus like Service where retro games are given to people every month and are allowed to keep the games as long as they have the service.

-Nintendo is ditching the Virtual Console brand and replacing it with ‘Nintendo Classics’. Games offered through this are much cheaper than they were before and is going to launch with NES and GBA games in August with SNES and N64 games being made available late 2018/ early 2019.

-Nintendo E3 Presentation is currently 36 minutes long and focuses only on Switch titles with Treehouse being used to announce and show 3DS titles.

-The first reveal is of the Spyro trilogy coming to Switch, though there’s a reason they’ve been waiting to reveal it.

-Fire Emblem is next and the title for it is ‘Lustrous Daybreak’. Coming holiday this year.

-Yoshi is next, now subtitled Flipped Around and features the same Amiibo functionality as Wooly World. Releases in August.

-New Paper Mario game is next and is not being developed by Intelligent Systems. Goes back to the traditional partner style gameplay but still heavily features the character limitations imposed for Sticker Star and Color Splash. Coming 2019

-Mario Odyssey DLC is next. Luigi is being released that day as a playable character and adds 70 unique moons to the game. Wario and Waluigi are also being made playable characters with 70 moons each as well. No tentative release date on the other two characters, but they are being made playable at the show floor.

-Activision makes some announcements. Crash Bandicoot Amiibo is being made that adds harder time trials to the N’Sane trilogy and is teased to have some kind of functionality with Spyro trilogy.

-Black Ops 4 Battle Royale is coming to Switch with crossplay with PC and Xbox, regular Black Ops 4 is not coming to Switch.

-Sega reveals their Sega Ages line for the west and two of the games they’re releasing under it are the first two Sonic Adventure games.

-Super Sonic Racing is revealed and takes inspiration from Sonic R with some characters like Sonic running on their own while characters like Tails use vehicles. Some kind of Nintendo exclusive content is teased for the game as well.

-Next is a Metroid Prime 4 gameplay trailer. Coming 2019.

-Pokémon for Switch is revealed. It’s a new take on Red and Blue and features graphics that are midway between Sun/Moon and Pokken.

-Five Nights at Freddy’s is coming to Switch, though reports are coming in that content may have been censored on Scott Cawthon’s end, not enforced by Nintendo. Coming out in the fall.

-Two trailers for Smash Bros for Switch are the last things. One reveals Captain Toad, the other reveals Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, this is why they’ve been quiet about the Switch version of the trilogy. Gameplay is shown and is a mix of Smash 4 and Melee, being very colorful yet detailed. Coming out September alongside the Online Service.

-Ice Climbers are set to be revealed during the Treehouse Live.

That’s all. I don’t know anymore specifics than that because I’m not the person who actually saw all of this, a contact with connections to marketing saw all of this and shared it to me.

Have a good day and remember to check back on this on May 7th.

biggest things for me.

call of duty on switch. (well some of it)

pokemon will be a let down apparantly.

paper mario...hmmm will have to see it in action but i am not a paper mario fan.

very excited to see the smash bros artstyle and launching super early!

oh and the mario DLC is epic!

I don't care for anything in that list.

Was hoping for some SMT info.

Sounds like some pretty good stuff in there. Things that I like are:

- getting retro games for the online service

- Nintendo Classics with cheaper prices

- new Fire Emblem coming later this year

- new Paper Mario game

- new Yoshi game

- Mario Odyssey dlc

- Black Ops IIII being crossplay with both PC and Xbox

- Metroid Prime 4 gameplay trailer

- Pokemon for the Switch

- new Smash Bros. trailers

Buying anything digital from Nintendo is burning money.

aside from shin megami tensei. what kind of game announcement would you have wanted? yokai watch announced for west?

Nothing really.

Most of the stuff i wanted is out and Disgaea 1 is confirmed. Maybe the port of the Wiiu Yakuza games.

I know the truth hurts, but you can always use salt to ease the pain.

I don't know if the Pokemon news is legit...

...2 years later on the virtual console games

yea i hope not.

it's called nintendo classics now man...get with the times :P

2 years later and the system is hacked.

@KBFloYd: It doesn't make any sense to me of they do this, Kanto is way overused (pun intended) by now, it's time to let it go.

Fire Emblem: Lustrous Daybreak sounds a lot like the rumor post I did a while back, being about Vampires and taking place in a Gothic settings. It should be interesting.

I seriously hope that cloud saves are coming with their online service launch... It's getting beyond ridiculous now.

They probably going to charge for that like Sony.

:(

Nice fanfiction... But shouldn't it be posted elsewhere?

Welcome to the club of PAY to PLAY ONLINE. OH wait ...

Just put a bullet in my brain right now

All I read was “Sony and Microsoft suck charging for online....but it’s okay when Nintendo does it”. Just lol.

It is going to be sweet victory when Nintendo fanboys start paying money for online gaming and get garbage NES games like Ice Climbers for a month.

And Nintendo still doesn’t understand how to do voice chat and still uses friend codes. By god if anyone else did this, they would be crucified.

Well no more playing online on Switch for me...the rest will just have to wait & see. :P

guy says he is positive!

hm....

Nintendo already said E3 is only gonna feature games releasing in 2018. So 100% bullshit list

Lustrous Daybreak sounds horrible still it is the game that i'm more interested in.

Gonna go with team fake on this one, but to be honest, some of this stuff doesn't seem unreasonable. Out of this info, I'm fully expecting Mario Odyssey DLC, Fire Emblem news, Yoshi news, 3rd party Smash Bros. characters, Metroid Prime 4 gameplay, and more Sega Ages titles. On the third party side of things, I'm also expecting a Fortnite Switch announcement.

@bowserjr123: Fortnite nor PUBG can run on the switch. PUBG barely runs at 5-10 FPS on Xbone X. No chance in hell it runs on switch.

Thanks for sharing!! Would not be disappointed if this all turns out to be true. the online service sounds pretty sweet and I wanna see the Metroid prime 4 gameplay!!!

@stuff238: Fortnite runs on smartphones...

I’d be pretty pissed if that’s all the Pokemon Switch title is going to be. They have a huge opportunity with that title.

That would suck. A new and shitty Paper Mario after we got 2 very shitty ones? Pokemon with zero effort put into it? No GC games in any near future? No Animal Crossing, no F-Zero. If this is true, some Smash and Metroid footage is the only thing to look forward to, and those things were a given.

Nah I don't believe it. :P

I just want to see Metriod Prime 4, along with Zelda its the only reason I got my Switch.

I gave up hope for a new Mario Strikers but I guess I'd take a look at Paper Mario.

No monster hunter next generation :(

Why did you post a thread about fake rumors? Can I make up a rumor and get a thread about it?

No punch out or Mario maker booo boo boo

If Crash and Spyro end up making it into Smash 5, I will find it amusing that four icons of the Playstation ended up showing up in a Nintendo made all-star fighting game, but none of them appeared in Sony's effort.

They got Raiden, Cloud never showed up for reasons we will never know, and its rumored Sony wanted Crash and Spyro in PSABR but got turned down by Activision.

This also proves that being in Smash is an honor that third-parties will do anything to get, even ones with very little history with Nintendo.

I wonder many on this forum quickly believe what an annonymous Internet user is saying on a message board?

No proof until officially confirmed by Nintendo or other reliable sources. Until then, fake news.

Crazy enough to be true. Sounds like a solid E3 from Nintendo.

You can indeed make up a rumor and make a thread about it.

Nintendo having paid online is hilarious. That company barely knows what the internet is.

COD BR on switch is huge.

You guys were saying the same about paying for online before PS4/Sony announced that they were going to do it.

You friggin hypocrit.

But it's not the full Call of Duty Black Ops IV, it's just the Battle Royale mode. It better be free to play or at least dirt cheap and not $60.

So how will nintendo mess this up
