God damn it, I just made the sticky too

OP, Can I have your permission to edit your OP with the live stream embed when the time comes?

I'm betting on a remake of SMT 1+2 or If.

I don't think you know what "3rd party" means, OP.

Yeah, all the links seem to be live already, so just embed it once they start playing music or something.
You could also fix and add the SMT: Strange Journey remake to "3DS 3rd-party".

...

Any actually interesting game?

probably not.

...

DELETE THIS

Watch as all the new stuff about good games is Nipponese direct only.

What is it that makes you think nintendo is an ok company.

It is done


For me it's autism

Dont forget to add infinity.moe :^)

Come on, I know this is nintendogaf but how many people really care about the Switch's previously-announced-to-be-dismal first year lineup?

Would you rather the catalog be flooded by a million nintendo threads?

Unless Atlus confirms an Etrian Odyssey V localization, then I don't give a fuck.

WE HAVE THIS EVERY TIME

Why do newfags think it's a console war thing? We always sticky event shit.

I'd personally prefer another 20 waifu threads tbh
after all, Holla Forums is not for video games

No, Holla Forums is actually The Gay Community

t. AJ Styles

This is why everyone thinks you're retarded.

...

I'm just gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're a newfag. Please lurk more.

You can't be serious.
Anyone worth half a shit around here has 10+ gigs of reaction images and shit from before Holla Forums even existed.

We do this shit whenever sony has these stupid events also, we had one in the last conference where people chanted Yoshida's name like a cult.

No, this is a cuckchan filename.

There's only 4 games for the piece of shit right now, so more is big news.

you trying to be slick will forever fall apart after your spaghetti drop on Jim's stream
you are a very sad and lonely jew and even your bantz has diabetes

You're a fucking idiot, look at the filename, it is a UNIX timestamp from well after we stopped using UNIX timestamps and well after the Holla Forums exodus.

Botw craze has already died off now and probably another 2 months before "new" sequels or stuff comes to it. its only a matter of time before PLEASE UNDERSTANDU PLEASE BUY OUR CRAP

E3 is also a marketing stream
Are we not allowed to talk about E3?

Looks like two can play at hypocrisy

...

Wrong website faggot,the molesting elf's echochamber is elsewhere

cuckchan used unix timestamps forever, and still do, so he would have pre-exodus knowledge of how cuckchan works you dumbass.

OBJECTION
4chan filenames are UNIX timestamps with 3 extra digits appended. Taking 3 digits off of the filename and running it through a timestamp converter gives a time and date of 3:25AM UTC on 02/17/2015.
You claim you were posting from your collection of old 4chan reaction images, yet this clearly postdates both the creation of Holla Forums and the largest exoduses of users from 4chan to it.
WHAT WERE YOU DOING ON CUCKCHAN ON THE SEVENTEENTH OF FEBRUARY TWO YEARS AGO?

KILL YOUR SELF.

When does this stream start, as in a countdown?

Well, at least I tried. Eh? user.

Now this is a high quality OP, Mark should take note because he's fucking retarded whenever he does his stupid shitty stickies.

In about 20 minutes

yeah, i know, and it is always a shitty move.
mark! get yourself together.

...

I know not what the fuck you tried, but I hope you wept yourself to sleep that night, wallowing in your own spaghetti.

Well its the circlejerk he created,because last time i went there it was a mess because of the bullshit embeddeds they have and i got banned for posting lewds while the mods posted yaoi furshit.

Is anyone interested in anything other than SMT and Splatoon 2? Nothing else seems worth watching for.

Your obviously a newfag. This happens for every publisher and developer game news event.
Go back to halfchan and stay there.

Im slightly interested in Arms depending on the content and netcode. Xenoblade 2 looks interesting as well even though i hate the expelled from paradise guy's artstyle

I do

Every night


Well I'm done with Infinity.moe. So you don't have to worry about that, I'll be embedding the youtube video in the OP. As for the other things, I don't put any work into the OP like OP did, I just throw a bunch of gay shit together and call it a day. So naturally I prefered to use OP's OP since he prepared and actually made a solid OP.

It's dead

ARMs could be cool, if I can use buttons and sticks. Movement is clunky with the motion control setup.

Capcom wants the handheld audience in Nipland, and no one else makes good handhelds.


Buttons already confirmed. Movement is optional.

Pretty sure its already confirmed that you can

OBJECTION
Holla Forums was still using UNIX timestamp filenames during this time period. That is true. But why, then, did ID: 906866 not open with this argument? Why did he instead try to defend himself for having a 4chan filename? As he said, "Anyone worth half a shit around here has 10+ gigs of reaction images and shit from before Holla Forums even existed." That seems to suggest that he himself thought of his image as originating on 4chan. An oversight, or a freudian slip?
ID: 906866, WHAT WERE YOU DOING ON TUESDAY THE SEVENTEENTH OF FEBRUARY, 2015?

OP

I'm adding the embed now.

mark are you still the dark knight

Well they also "Confirmed" Star Fox Zero without motion controls, so I'll believe it when I see it,

Vita is objectively superior to the 3DS yet monhun is on 3DS.

yeah I fucking hate the mods, mark is such a fucking super faggot, all he had to do is give a link in plain fucking text but no INFINTY.MOE because he's a super shill at heart and loves his shit games of yooka laylee, that fat fuck probably likes banjo kazooie, that's an actual shit game. Mark has yet to ban 4am threads has yet to ban a single thing.
epic


could you be more incompetent mark, stop enforcing shit memes too. that cake shit is so fucking crap and you're not even relevant with your stupid autistic screeching you did at new york, you fucking pretendo piece of crap

no car?

Sony pissed off Capcom and they don't give them exclusives like they used to.
Until another handheld comes up, they'll stick with what's making them money.

The 3DS had a much larger userbase than the Vita before MonHun came out, so why would they develop for it, even if they weren't pissed off with Sony?

Mark didn't force merging 3DS and Wii U. That was a decision by the OPs of each thread and a couple other anons not listening to the majority saying not to merge.

What did Sony do?

How many of the games we see do you think will be censored into oblivion by NoA?

all of them

what fucking car?


yeah that's because he didn't enforce it, while also banning all the stupid fucks who were muttering "muh botw" non-stop

all of them
now thinking about it what game hasn't been censored.

the Skyline

He's not mad enough to be car user.

Don't forget the Nipponese stream, which won't be fucked by censorship.

youtube.com/watch?v=VRDCLfpofJc

First prediction: Nintendo will cover Splatoon 2 last and make me sit through 50 minutes of ARMS and other bullshit to get to it.

ARMS is going to be a system seller for the Switch

Sony fucked them around with releases the marketing on both MonHun and some other games around the same time.
I'm not 100% on the details, but this is from one of the devs from the main MH team, and he said they would make them rush projects and fuck around and not market the games at all.
Apparently that's why hitboxes were atrocious for some monsters.

Not sure if it's all of Capcom are against them or just the MH team saying they refuse to work with Sony, but Capcom has stopped giving Sony as many exclusives and taking them elsewhere.

Source: Some french streamer who had an interview with one of the devs an user posted here a while back. It was in French so I was working off the subtitles.


At least bait the hook.

I want to fuck Fubata

...

At least arms gave us a good waifu

Here we go. TIME FOR APPROVED NOA MEMES!!!
Are the NA and EU stream different?

IT BEGINS

Oh boy!


Nipponese direct page says it's 35 mins long.

Oh nice a budget increase!

handful of playable characters probably a lack game modes all for the low price of 60 bucks.
I'd rather fucking play Cod then arms

...

interesting

did it start yet?

Way to go Nintendbiciles.

Yes

STOP

M rated. Looks like SMT info.

I don't like this new format

I can't wait for all the porn of the water spirit

SMASH BROS AMIIBO

KEEP BOTH STREAMS OPEN
They have different shit.

Nipponese schedule says they are covering 3 Atlus RPGs.


Why? I can understand MU having a FeMU, but why the fuck do we have 2 cloud amiibo?

MH STORIES IN THE WEST

...

Lady Layton on Nipponese stream. Meh.

...

...

the one on the left is cute

LADY LAYTON IS CUTE!

CUTE!

Why are they still promoting the 3DS when the Switch is supposed to be their next handheld system?

There's something about Kirby's 25th anniversary in the schedule

New (?) level 5 action RPG on Nipponese direct.

...

because they made it very clear the Switch isn't a successor to either the Wii U or the 3DS

Radiant Historia remake with shit art is first Atlus RPG.

EMD2 is 2.

Wonder what 3 is.

Strange Journey remake is 3. Meh.

DLC

Why do you think?

SJ

DLC DLC DLC PREASE BE EXCITED

Hell yes DLC

Fuck you too NoA.

...

...

Fucking kikes

...

They literally said nothing about the game other than DLC, wow

How do "season passes" work anyway? Is it just a marketing term for DLC/expansion packs, or do you really only have access to the content for a limited period of time?

...

free to start, what the fuck does that even mean

More boxboy, neat.

It has a demo

C U T E
U
T
E

It's paying to preorder all (and often not actually all of it) of the DLC.

It's just preordering the DLC

Wait, why do they have Cloud?

Japanese voice is superior

Demanding Biff porn now.

アームです!

it honestly seems like instead of targeting large numbers they rather focus on the small amount of retards still buying nintendo and everything with them.

ARMS is on.
Can NoA do ANYTHING right?

ah. That's moderately less jewish than I was expecting.

More like the grope arm
I want to grope ribbon girl with them

fucking ingame currency. those hebrews are at it again

Is it just me or are they banking on ARMS being their next Splatoon?

Ribbongirl confirmed for Biff's waifu

The announcer for ARMS sound different for each stream. USA sounds like a middle age dude, while the JP stream sounds like a little boy.

...

Noodle waifu

...

Oh shit new girl fighter! Porn of Minmin when?

RACIST

wwwwww

I WANT TO FUCK MINMIN

I never see anything of value in these streams. It's always either cosmetic shit or DLC.

...

Yeah, there's definitely that same attempt to slip in some extra personality with fashion brands, coded languages, and stuff going on in the background that lorefags are sure to lose their shit over.

The weapons themselves are called ARMS.

Did you think punches were all these fighters could throw????

Will the commentator talk this much in the actual game?

It's been over 10 minutes, where's the Minmin porn??

It's like they completely misunderstood why people liked Splatoon in the first place

If they want to make sure the game is well received it better not.

Goddamn, this is long and boring.

Are you retarded? This is a premade video overlapped with commentator.

Minmin a cute. A CUTE

Oh thank god they have two on two, i actually wanted this

The announcer even looks a little like Sheldon from Splatoon

This looks like it will be a total clusterfuck to actually play

Oh boy, yellow controllers

...

...

4 FFA would be even nicer.

New JoyCon collers, goyim.
And new battery pack for them, goyim.

A fuckin' battery pack.

KIKES

OH BOY A JOYCON BATTERY PACK

Arms looks like such a fucking piece of trash. Re-release Pokken with more fighters isntead of this trash

I saw Sonic Forces in that second schedule

please buy 80 dollar controller and 10-20 dollar battery pack

There, ARMS is now fun.

meh


Meh.

Was that already in the DLC?

waah

I can't wait for the Mario Kart tournament.

...

wew

NOTCH

...

Oh god, it's autism at all levels.

At least they are attempting to give their games something more, but you're right, they don't quite get that Splatoon is more than just some bright colors and silly looking characters.

VACATIONS

Cucks.

Time for the obligatory Minecraft port.

...

...

Oh shit nigger. That means it's not Sony exclusive and can come to PC!

...

MINECRAFT

Nintendo Switch confirmed best selling console of all time.

Huh. Probably the best things they've shown.

Was that Blaze the cat?

SHITRAN

So it looks like Forces is Generations 2 after all

So no Adventure mode.

Oh shit!

Another forced hedgehog eh?

lame

Splatoon meets Bomberman?

...

SENRAN KAGURA SWITCH

Tits are life ass is hometown!

Could this be…
HD Rumble hand holding?

Looks neat.

Oh yeah, what was the release for Sonic Forces? I was posting not listening.

This better fuicking not be a Payday port.

DON'T YOU DARE STREAM THIS GAME BAKA GAIJIN

I wonder what they will show

Its coming in the Holiday release window it seems

I didn't hear it, but it will be at E3

...

...

kek

Oh wow, monopoly.

online pls

...

There was an interview where they said Boom Sonic wasn't going to be the third character… But it honestly wouldn't surprise me if it was another sonic anyway.

...

HD Rumble Dice. Sounds pretty neat.

...

...

OH SHIT!
THQ Nordic announcement.

It better be fucking Darksider 3 or Destroy All Humans 3 you cunts.

BATTLE CHASERS

I just wanted to play monopoly

It will just be ported games and you know it.

Does anyone actually like this game? Fortune Street is clearly superior.

Yup, a port, but nothing I've played before so oh well.

I thought this shit was out already?

...

FUCK OFF

i was waiting for this to get linked

...

THE
FUCK

What is going on.

...

Are there any original games being released for the switch?

GUYS
THE THERMAL DRILL
GO GET IT

WAIT WHAT

PAY DAY JEW, WHAT

WTF, Payday 2?

Arms

OH BOY A DOCK

WHAT THE FUC KIS GOIGN ON

Splatoon Tournament

HEIL OCTOLING

Will the old one work?

SQUID SELFIES

In the fucking trash, where she belongs

NINTENDO SWITCH SNS

NINTENDO SWITCH SOCIAL NETWORKING SERVICE

MIIVERSE SUCCESSOR CONFIRMED

Holy shit, autism is never ending.

Miiverse was too good for this world.

Short-haired inkling cuteness not yet confirmed. Further research necessary

Friend is paid dlc

...

...

God thats fucking late.

No bundle?

Well, it's still not enough to make me want a Switch. No promises to unfuck their shit hardware means no buy.

So was there anything announced on one stream but not the others, or was it just out of order?

Well that was gay

...

Melee HD comes out.
It includes a picture of some random gook flipping the bird and and a note "upgraded to brawl gameplay"

Melee autist mass suicide.

4 months away HAHAH dead console at this rate

PS4 lasted as long as it did with only Bloodborne.

Not sure what they were thinking. The original's launch in late May was perfect for getting people into the game during summer. This is going to come out right as summer break is ending for kids.

Of course I started watching right as it fucking ends. Any weebshit of note or was it really just Arms shovelware and Spla2n?

But WHERE THE FUCK IS MOTHER 3?

Fate Extella and Night of Azure 2 confirmed for Switch

Nipponese Direct apparently had something related to Senran.

I want this meme to end.

...

...

Is it over?

But I still haven't got to play it

Didn't Bloodborne take 2 years into the PS4's life to come out?

ya that was bloodborne at least it had an online element. botw is already pretty much dead at this point and mario kart 8 is a rehash port

...

New Senran on nip stream no idea what he was saying but he was squeezing balloons full of water and shaking some desert around.

Everyone knows that Bubsy is a tranny slut these days.

A year and a bit.

There was nogaems, then single gaem, and then fast-forward to today and there's maybe 6 games worth playing on it.

SHEEEEEEEEEEEET

Yeah, that was my first thought too.

...

Do the old amiibo give you the classic amiibo outfits, or are these the new sets and each boy/girl/squid works the same, anyway?

Am I missing any?

The amiibos become your BFF's and you can take selfies with them

So, whens the PC port for Fate/Extella and Nights of Azure 2?

...

There's also KoF XIV. Although I don't think he counted that considering how it's only exclusive for a limited time. That limited time's lasting a while now, though

Octarians are the Muslims of the fish world though, they always started it.

Where you were when Bubsy finally got in a Sonic game?

That's probably Blaze or a new character

WE HAVE TO GO DEEPER

Just gonna leave this here.

The Octarians did literally nothing wrong.

...

THEY DINDU NUFFIN!

I guess they give the same reward, but just a difference in which character model/color they are? BLUE INKLINGS KEEP MOVING. THIS IS ORANGE COUNTRY!

Are you watching vinny too

Cry sonygger cry.

GAS THE OCTARIANS
TURF WAR NOW

...

Literally the crusades
DEUS WOOMY

I am.

inb4 it's crash for some unknown reason
Sonic's ass game comes full circle

genius

...

How can you guys think it's anybody other than Violent Sonic Shadow?

It's a tales recolour

Good thing Switch is region free.

It's not published by Nintendo.

...

Because, that isn't stupid enough.

...

Daily reminder for the new sonic game.

ALSO
WILL NAMCO MUSEUM ACTUALLY HAVE A MUSEUM YOU CAN WALK AROUND IN?
LIKE THE ORIGINAL ONES?
THIS IS IMPORTANT

All of deviant art must be shitting itself right now.

...

...

Who's writing the story, the Archie comics guy?

Dropped.

Oh boy, Dongus the Hedgehog might actually be in the game.

are the SK games actually any good or are they just otaku fapbait?

NOA can just refuse to publish it if they feel it "won't appeal to the American demographic"

GOTY if this is true

and everyone can import it because the switch is region free.
And everyone is going to aggregate play time for boob ninjers 47

they've already released burst and deep crimson over here and the later got a special edition. also like switch is region free.

And this makes a difference considering Shitran Kagayra has been published by non-NoA publishers how?

I think you are misusing the word publish here, it's more like authenticate release, maybe, but SK2 was released in Europe so you could import the next title from there instead.

Well its already being published by somebody else

Neither was Dragon Ball Fusions.

THey're pretty good. Characters are actually all well developed character wise and the writing is pretty good.

I actually feel like Nintendo of America might end up using the region freedom as an excuse to block more games


i meant publish as in approval like said. Nintendo of America still has the power to say they aren't going to let this or that game get brought here or demand changes to the game.

Are octolings playable yet?

That was a decision by the games own publisher, Nintendo wouldn't have denied release over such an insignificant detail.

what detail would that be?

Changing a sword into a stick.

NoA doesn't need to approve shit, dumbass.

...

Bamco says it was NoA.

And then more Asia Region english games will be made, baka.

Triple dubs demands we all create Cold Steel.

yes, they do, retard. You can't just publish anything you want on someone else's fucking console.

I know treehouse is bad and the mangement just want shelves of Mario, Pokemon and Kirby but if they start pissing off third parties, particularly japanese ones, then Nintendo is probably going to start paying attention to what NoA is doing.

>ARMS: YBiff, elemental attributes, unlocking new weapons with in-game currency, lewd ramen girl, laser-breathing dragons, 4-player battles, out on June 16th

It's probably a rating thing to get the game under a certain rating within the region, Nintendo aren't going to not authenticate a release for that reason, Monster Boy and the cursed Kingdom is coming to the US for Switch with a kid who has a sword.

...

Except you can, faggot. Quit being a fucking underaged nintoddler.

Maybe if you consider generic anime writing "well developed"

...

...

dang

Are we talking actual, similar to real life humon developed or Smegma Princess developed?

Join the club
At least on breath of the wild on wii u there is a borderline game breaking exploit with rusty shields stasis and bombs.
