Kirby's rumour buffet!

• A slightly pared down version of FIFA, with no players, referee, stands or ball

Sources say this is actually just going to be the Switch version of FIFA 18. 'We made it from the ground up,' says Patrick Söderlund, knowing they've only made the ground.

Sources close to Nintendo say that a Switch version of Tokyo Mirage Sessions is in the works, despite the original's rather niche nature. The story is being reworked in an attempt to broaden the appeal: instead of trying to break into the entertainment industry, the cast will want to become sports stars instead. The game has the working title 'Tokyo Mirage Sessions #PE'.

Persona x Inazuma game would be cool

Any kind of Inazuma game would be cool! They still haven't released the third game in the second trilogy in Europe. I want to finish Arion's story!

Sources say that Nintendo is bringing another new IP to E3. It's a fighting game where you throw sheep, cows, and wheat at each other.

Also coming soon: Tory Simulator 2017!

It plays like a cross between Boom Blox and Jenga.

Just Dance 2018 to launch this October on Nintendo Switch, Wii U and Wii...

...and GameCube, N64, SNES, NES, Game & Watch and on hanafuda cards.

WHERE WERE YOU THE OTHER WEEK WHEN I NEARLY MADE MY EYES BLEED TRYING TO REMEMBER THE WORD HANAFUDA?

Eager to capitalise on the recently-announced-but-leaked-in-1978 Mario and Rabbids crossover, Nintendo are to announce a Mario + Rabbids game for iOS (Android version to follow at some point in the distant future). Based on the likes of Farmville and Hay Day, Mario and company will be appointed as Royal Farmers (about the only job Mario hasn't taken on at some point). You will exclusively breed and rear cows (one of which will of course be named 'Daisy'), with microtransactions to speed the birthing process along. The Rabbids are running a rival farm, with all the chaos that that will entail. We hope you'll enjoy Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Cattle.

Ever eager to capitalise on their past, Nintendo is working on a Switch title that mines the history of the Wii. Described by our sources as a 'light RPG adventure', the player selects from a number of heroes from Nintendo Wii hits - Mario, Link, Kirby, Samus, Yoshi, Shulk, Donkey Kong and more - to form a party of four to traverse the land and take down the villainous Dark Lord in a series of whimsical adventures. Buckle up and enjoy the ride that is Wiitopia.

Ever Oasis actually sold better than expected, so they're releasing a whole new bunch of games on the theme of 'Ever [decent place in hostile territory]'. Expect to see such gems as Ever Desert Island, Ever Cavern Beneath the Ice, and Ever Train Out Of London.

After Telltale's recent announcement that they will be supporting the Switch, Nintendo have offered the company the pick of their franchises to work with. Our intrepid rumour spies have picked up that Pokémon has been chosen. Your protagonist is trapped in a cave and must choose their way out of danger. We're told that choices will genuinely affect the outcome of Zubatman: The Telltale Series.

A new Nintendo crossover is rumoured to be on the way for a 2018 release: a mash-up of Animal Crossing and Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training, called Animal Crossing: Concentration Camp.

*sharp intake of breath*

As a show of goodwill, Nintendo have given BioWare one of their most beloved franchises to work with.  Coming soon: Xenoblade Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood.













Yes, of course Big the Cat will be playable.

Sold

Our sources report that Nintendo have a Switch eShop game complete and ready to launch, but are hanging fire whilst third parties release their wares onto the service. It's a cooking game in a slightly similar vein to StreetPass Chef. Using the same cooking mechanics as in the latest Zelda game, you must make soup to fulfil the criteria of your various customers: spicy, warming, vegan, and so on. Say "Hello" to Broth Of The Wild.

If it's anywhere near as good as Bike of the Wild, I'm in.

Why not combine the two and make some kind of Deliveroo simulator.

In Termina, 'zero hour contracts' have a very different meaning...

Rumour has it (as always) that Jimbob has been given the tools to develop Papers Please: GNamer Edition. While a lot of the mechanics are the same, the city is now named Gracklin, and 'Endless Mode' is replaced by 'Andy and Mas Talking About Yakuza and Resident Evil Mode'.

No Mother 3 - Nintendo have ruined it.

I've read this on the Internet: therefore I expect that to be the least that appears tomorrow. If it doesn't I'll be furious with both Nintendo and Zero, which I think is completely justified.
