word abound is that it's very young kid related and will feature physical stuff you buy - like, but not, amiibo.

 

prepare for imminent dudebro meltdown

Anyone slightly worried that this thing tonight would be what Retro's been working on for five years?

 

would be surprised - been tweeted out by the Animal Crossing designer and being announced in Japan first suggests that it's a home grown thing

[MidWalian]

No idea what will be announced, but keeping expectations low.

 

However, the joycons do have an IR camera so could it be something to do with that?

[Bojangle]

My initial reaction to this after seeing the kids at heart comment was LEGO + Nintendo.

Pls no.

As someone with a 5 year old, I'm interested in anything like this if Nintendo have put proper effort into it and it's well designed.

Balance board was more aimed at adults.

It was literally for weighing babies.

Something like Dropmix only with a Switch and Pokemon?

[Bojangle]

All I know is that Nintendo and LEGO have had a project together for a while at a Danish studio here, which they then shifted to another studio in Denmark. If that is what's being shown tonight, I'm not sure. I'm asking around but everyone is being tight lipped.

[Barnard]

Would the IR camera be able recognise a piece of Lego or little Lego dude? 

[Girth Certificate]

I'd be surprised if Lego announced something new so soon after Dimensions went into the toilet

[Girth Certificate]

Going by what kids seem to like these days it'll either let them watch idiots playing games, film themselves opening kinder eggs or send dickpics

[Harsin]

They've found a way to turn the the indignation of Nintendo fans to Edge scores into pure energy. Humanity colonises Mars by 2021.

The project I'm talking about has been in the works since long before that.

That's just the new Mario Lego sets though, isn't it?

[Eighthours]

I reckon it'll be something completely new along these lines, but not tied to any existing external property. So no Lego, but something entirely Nintendo-focused. If so, I wonder whether it'll be tied to Nintendo IP like Mario, or be akin to a more physically interactive version of something like Nintendogs. I think it's more likely to be the latter, would rather the former.

Nope, it's definitely an interactive experience made by a software studio.

Pokemon fidget spinners.

Worry 'worried'?

[Mr Cochese]

A play mode where your dad holds the controls and you shout instructions at him.

[jiroczech]

Kirby fleshlights. 

[mdn2]

For kids? It'll probably be Call of Duty related, then. 

[scissorkicks]

 

[robotattack]

Don't know if it's related to tonight's announcement (as it says a few days time)

WHAT IS THIS?!

[Professor Puzzles]

THE LITE SWITCH!

[Hylian]

Very much doubt it's a hardware revision this early. My bet is new amiibo style toys.

 

 

Switchlite is nailed on though. I've barely disconnected my joycons since i got it. Fixed joycons and slimline dock with pro controller included. Xmas 2018 revealed at E3.

[milko]

Fixed joycons when they recommend them separated for things like ARMS and Odyssey? I can't quite see it. I reckon they've at least another year before they have to announce new hardware like that.

[Nespresso]

Something something motion control related. Probably balance board related I reckon.

They did a 2D 3DS...
