Cinny Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Literally asking for the day off work that day. Holy balls I'm counting the days. Quote Link to comment
Namevah Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Thursday. Awesome, that's not one of the days I work. Quote Link to comment
Sol Badguy Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Too bad it'll be a while before it happens, but then again, I have something to look forward to after Christmas (and more exciting than New Year's Eve). Of course, at the same time, I'm hoping Donald Trump won't be our president, because if he is, I can imagine killing our ties to Japan through his stupidity, which could mean no more stuff from the Japanese gaming companies, and thus, no more good stuff from Nintendo. Still, I'll just keep thinking positively and watching intelligent stuff like The Daily Show and Full Frontal. Edited October 27, 2016 by Albedo238 Quote Link to comment
alienboyva Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Whoa, wasn't expecting an announcement for this until next year and thought it'd be some time in Feb. Alright! Calendar marked! KANT WEIGHT! Quote Link to comment
Carl321 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Oh- neat! I wasn't expecting a date this soon! Still quite a ways off, but at least we're not left wondering Mystearica 1 Quote Link to comment

Something to look forward to might well keep the hype from completely turning in on itself. Quote Link to comment

EZLO21 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 My Body is Reggie for that day and I will be Live Streaming the whole thing on my YouTube Channel and I might find a way to livestream to my Twitch at the same time too. Quote Link to comment
Cryptic Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Yeah, good move announcing it in advance rather than keeping everyone guessing. Edited October 27, 2016 by Cryptic Quote Link to comment
Penance Fracture Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Nice! Nintendo took a big risk in announcing that there would be no more Switch news until 2017, but I think they're on to something, here. I like Nintendo when they take risks. Quote Link to comment
Kezay Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Fantastic. I plan on taking some time off sometime after the new year so this seems like perfect timing. Ah yesssssss! Quote Link to comment

I'm avoiding the political threads on PO for a reason. Anyway, I personally think that's too far away and some of the hype that they generated with people that don't follow this stuff will have died down. Regardless, at least we finally know when to expect the next announcement. Carl321 1 Quote Link to comment

DLurkster Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I'm pretty stoked about this actually. Once I heard that Nintendo isn't sharing any new about the Switch till next year, I was cool not because we have the 3DS, Pokemon and NES Classic and Nintendo's focus on that or that Switch trailer was enough, it's simply that if any other news drops, more ppl would want more info and it won't stop. So I hoped when January started and early on they should share as much news a possible like blowout like this stream presentation for the lack of info the rest of this year. This will be nothing compared to the wait and no date of the reveal a week ago but having date and what to expect is a good sign that I think Nintendo knows what they doing and after seeing this presentation will make or break if I get this thing a launch. I'll get on eventually but I'm not sold at launch and hope this presentation with its price, games and etc will have jump on the other side of the fence of getting this at launch, if possible. One question tho: if this being streamed in Japan with devs and media, is there going to be a NA equivalent? or will there be a translator for this? I'm confused on that. But I don't think I'll mind either way but just want to know how this presentation is gonna go. Quote Link to comment

Nintendo of America would not be tweeting such info if there were not some kind of equivalent for the Americas to listen to and watch as well. Quote Link to comment

Well hearing that this thing is gonna be stream in Tokyo despite they stream at appropriate time to the west... hold up you know what, you're right. If the streamed this in Japan in the middle of the day, that would put in the middle of the night over here but if they stream it 8pm their time, it would be like earlier morning like 7am and later, right? So in either case, they will be NA stream, huh? But still the second option of doing late there could still workout here, kind of. Quote Link to comment

If you read the Press Release for this Presentation, you will know that Nintendo will find a way to stream it live so that everyone can understand it. Yeah 8 pm Tokyo Time is 7 am EST. Which would be 4 AM PST if you want the just of it. But yeah Nintendo will figure out the best times is all I am saying DL. Quote Link to comment
