Explorers Guild, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Explorers of the Sky!

This game brought me to tears so many times.

I like the upbeat theme of this one, many songs in the game have such a melancholic sway to them but this one carries the spirit of working together on something fun!

This is an awesome choice!!! I wish I thought about putting this song up AHH!!
 
Good morning, Famiboards...!

Just a couple hours left! Thank you all again for making this such a memorable speculation period! I am looking forward to doing it all again with you all in a couple of weeks/months!! :)

Could be as soon as in ~ 30 minutes, or 1 hours and 30 minutes.

Yeah it has been fun as a lurker... But now I hope this thread opens up again in 3 weeks ;)
 
THQ Nordic games rarely appear on Directs, only one that did so far was Wreckfest.

Plus, I doubt this one will be a port heavy one. More remasters than straight ports. Especially from Square and Namco. Namco has just announced Tales of Arise coming to GP/PS Plus, wouldn't be surprising if we got a Tales remaster.
Honestly that would also be great to me. I would be there day 1 for a Tales of Xilia duology remaster.
 
Guys! Think, THINK! SWITCH 2 REVEAL IS ON EARLY MARCH! WE ARE, LIKE, 3 WEEKS AWAY FROM IT!!!
Shh we all know Switch 2 will be revealed after January 61st 😜

While we wait here's something to jive with as we brave our destined fate with the Direct / Partner / etc...

 
For a theoretical SMTV "Apocalypse" edition, there's one thing they NEED to do.

Add the Fiends to the main game.

These iconic demons don't deserve being moved to DLC.
they need to make the story less mid* byeeeee
 
Oh ye of little faith. It's only over when we see it's over.

Game Freak needs to do the right thing and announce Legends Unova. And then Nintendo announces Legends Unova as cross-gen 1 or 2 weeks after that. ;D
 
I would love Nintendo’s first tweet of the day to be something along the lines of

We are DIRECTLY PARTNERING with le creuset on a series of Animal Crossing based kitchen items
 
Didn't anyone see the leaker suggest that it actually might be at 3pm CET? They said that they might have got timezones mixed up and it may indeed be at the usual time and not 1pm UTC
They did say 2pm CET iirc. So 1 hour and 5 minute from now.

However the Mini's/Partners were always in different times like these, it's never late Europe as for Generals (one one was 4pm in the Switch era and that was September 2022).
 
I'm expecting it to actually drop at 6/7am PT. That's usually when Directs get announced/dropped and that's the time the July (7am) and the September (6am) Partner Directs dropped.
 
Yeah I can't see any reason why it would drop earlier than usual, unless they put out an announcement tweet 1 hour ahead of time. I'm expecting we'll see it in the usual timeslot if it's happening today
 
afaik he corrected to 3pm cet now. which would make sense
Yep, makes sense.

The Mini's/Partners are always in this time slot (23:00 JST), basically the time when Generals are announced that's when the Mini's and Partners air. The Generals are airing 8-9 hours from that based on day light savings but Mini's and Partners are always 3pm CET.
 


1-2 hours to go! So close now!

This song plays in Trails From Zero at the most climatic moment of the game and it’s when all of your partners and friends help you overcome all of the obstacles in your way to reach the final dungeon and showdown. The song is hype as heck and even cooler as it is a riff on the normal battle theme.
 
I’m not 100% sure Pyoro is done yet. They didn’t leak every announcement Nintendo has made outside of Directs so it’s possible they aren’t interested in the Partner show for whatever reason. If Pyoro doesn’t leak the Switch reveal and games shown, then I think it’s safer to say Pyoro is done.
people be jealous of the goat :cry:
 
If you're able to talk about it, should we take this as a "hint" that the Direct is hitting at the expected timeframe rather than one hour earlier (basically, playing RE4 until it drops)? :p

On that note, Guaranà provided a first clarification on Era




That would indeed fall into the expected timeslot after all, so 06:00 PT / 09:00 ET / 14:00 UTC / 15:00 CET / 23:00 JT
Further clarification provided


he said to expect around the same time last time he told (a mini-direct in 2020), and from what I could see in the Direct Thread back then, it was aired at 11 am.

Also, copy-pasting what I said on Era

To be more specific, the July 2020 Partner Showcase happened at 07:00 PST / 10:00 EST / 15:00 UTC / 16:00 CEST / 23:00 JT but that was still 11:00 in Brazil since, just like Japan, Daylight Savings Time is not observed in the country.
 


3-4 hours to go! A little more than halfway there!

Kingdom Hearts games are of course all about friendship. This song Hand In Hand is perhaps one of the best expressions of it and always get me pumped for the big adventures ahead!

the smash ultimate main theme lifelight feels like it was inspired by hand in hand 🤩
 
Here we are seemingly for sure at the end of a very long journey of speculation together. Tomorrow is our day whether it’s a Mini or a Mini Partner Showcase. Who knows how cool this show may or may not be, but even if it is on the more low key side, I hope we all get some cool stuff from it. Thanks everyone for such an awesome thread so far. Hanging out with you all is the best part and is what makes these threads such a blast whether we’re chilling together in quiet times or experiencing select moments of pure hype and excitement. I’m really excited to finish the night together strong :)

It’s time now to begin our final countdown! As always to be kind to mobile users, please share one Youtube video per post in our countdown event.

Today’s theme is partners and friends! Yes the power of friendship is the theme of the day! Please share songs that you think speak to the theme of partners and friends. I know it’s a bit abstract compared to set genres, so feel free to get creative and if you think something’s borderline, but you think it’d be fun to share, go for it! We are here to have fun!



My first pick is one of my favorite Final Fantasy songs, Searching For Friends! It replaces the bleak overworld song from the World of Ruin once you have the second airship! This hopeful song points to the power of friendship you seek to reforge to challenge and defeat Kefka. Seems like a fitting start to the night as we barrel towards the seemingly all but officially confirmed Partner Showcase together!

7-8 hours to go! I’m excited to see what songs with the theme of partners and friends y’all pick :)
