General Nintendo thread

Not much of a Mario guy but this does look like a lot of value for your money even compared to the first.

With Mario Maker being so successful, part of me wonders if Nintendo will ever make a 2D Mario ever again. I mean, that’s basically what Maker’s story mode is.

Rumor: Nintendo looking to join Sony in using Microsoft's Azure Cloud service for gaming in limited regions.

All 3 big console working together. All because Google Stadia is a potentially terrible service that needs to be competed against.

What a time to be alive.

Oh yeah, Google Stadia is supposedly a thing. Has anyone talked about that since the day after it was announced?

Aside from initial skepticism, don't think so.

Anyone heard of Pappy Van Poodle, the Nintendo character with 0 Google results? (He was on one Miiverse post, but Miiverse is gone...)

Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid somebody say "Obscure Character"?

Yep! He was only on ONE Miiverse post and nowhere else before that video! Now he has a Nintendo Wiki page and everything!

Wait, what's Google Stadia supposed to be?

"Stadia is a cloud gaming service, and requires no additional computer hardware, only requiring the device to have an Internet connection and support for Google Chrome. Stadia works atop You Tube's functionality in streaming media to the user, as game streaming is seen as an extension of watching video game live streams. Players can start games without having to download new content to their personal device. Players can opt to record or stream their sessions onto You Tube through Stadia. Viewers of such streams can launch the games directly from the stream with the same save state that they were just watching. During its GDC 2019 keynote reveal, Google confirmed that the controller would also feature Google Assistant, which will automatically search You Tube for relevant, helpful videos related to the game they are currently playing at the touch of a key."

But basically, Stadia is Netflix for video games.

That was legitimately fascinating.

We have a thread on the Stadia.

Short version: No one is expecting much.

Has someone leaked what Nintendo is spilling at E3 2019?!

The World Ends With You 2, Tekken 7 AND Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3? Sounds too good to be true...

Is there any reason to believe this at all?

Is it the usual printed document thing? Because it's a recurring joke.

I think I saw the one you mention. I was super excited for The World Ends With Two, but then I saw the list had the Zelda CD-i games and Fortnite 2, Fortnite 3, and Fourtnite.

There is no reason to believe this.

15 minutes of Youtube revenue generating rambling.

No way that Silksong releases by E3. Not even Team Cherry are that good.

I only put a small amount of trust in any rumor reported on by Game Xplain.

Also, there's no link to the where the document is at in the description.

Also, it's not on the Switch subreddit, where you know it would blow up.

Also, Nintendo rumors recently have been popping up as untrue. Going to have to call fake, until hindsight gives the vision.

It's not even GameXplain. It's some channel called Blocked Content.

Not even Gamexplain, or do we have you mention "Star Fox Grand Prix" again?

We're near E3 so we're bound to get a deluge of this kind of "leak." It's best to ignore them unless someone reputable does a take on them.

And so it begins.

Literally the only E3 leak I’ve ever seen be 100% true was the leak of Injustice 2 a few years back.
