StarTopic Nintendo Direct Speculation |ST7| It’s Showtime People! Famiboards Productions Proudly Presents: What Lies Beyond The Door? Act II - Rebirth

Here’s what I’ve heard post-Friday: Direct in April (general or mini, dunno), Indie World before that (probably March).

June for Switch 2 reveal.

Everything in flux always, but I’m feeling good, so eh.

Those are... Kind of great news? lol

I mean, if they're planning to reveal the Switch 2 in June, it feel like they at least intend to release it in time for the holidays. Might not make it, but sounds like Q1 2025 isn't set in stone yet.

Thanks for sharing, Brazil!

so uhhh are we keeping the thread up now with Brazil and Necro's posts? lol

Full year on Direct Speculation!

 

[RealUncleNintendo]

just like that the thread comes alive!

 

[mazi]

kinda feels like a diss towards their own game when they put a first party game in a partner showcase, like it wasn't good enough for a regular direct.

 

[LonkFromPA]

Idk why Fami, but I think Nintendo might give us TTYD release date trailer today

It's probably just someone (who isn't Nintendo) wants to publish the game in a certain region.

Democracy will help in the final decision.

If that happens I will buy 2 copies and eat one of them (not really though)

IMO, with everything so much in flux there's really no other choice than to keep it open until the next Direct. Who knows when the next General Direct airs, could be next month, April, who knows!

Alright. I have the quote.

It's possible the game is going to release before or around the time of the next General Direct.

I would totally be down for June as the reveal month. Fill in that void E3 no longer occupies.

 

[Dark Cloud]

We know Peach getting previews this week. It’s only Tuesday. Could happen on Wednesday or Thursday

or even before

 

[MisterSpo]

It's also possible Endless Ocean is licensed by Nintendo but not published by them, though I think that's less likely than it simply being one of those odd first party titles that occasionally shows up at this kind of event.

 

[Dark Cloud]

or even before

Why?

 

[BassForever]

Maybe it's something like Wonderful 101 where Nintendo has given up some rights to the series to whoever is making this remake/remaster? Perhaps this won't be a Switch exclusive or is a timed exclusive?

 

[Leo]

Nintendo is telling us patterns are out of fashion for this season. We should break our pattern and keep the thread.

 

[SoldierDelta]

Looking at their previous credits, it seems like they're just a rather weird second party between Nintendo and Bandai that works on Ports, support studio work and random stuff like Tetris 99. Very odd company, but it seems like this'll be a second-party release... i mean maybe?

Normally we go from February to June for the Directs. This time it’s going to be February to April. A full 2 months earlier (literally could be less than 2 months from now). So why would we close this topic?

Also have an Indie Direct probably coming in March.

There's always a new direct on the horizon, so why don't we keep the thread going

Now we’re thinking smart

Like the Future Hardware thread you say?

 

[prizna]

Tbh I was surprised to see the poll, I figured with the uncertainty it would continue till the next proper direct.

 

[BassForever]

Like the Future Hardware thread you say?

Every long form thread on this site turns into a next Smash speculation thread on a biweekly occurrence so why not?

 

[Dark Cloud]

I’m surprised so many people want a topic closed

that's how we used to do it, not sure why we've changed course on this

 

[Dark Cloud]

I guess I don’t get online communities. Why would you want to close a topic that doesn’t affect you? You can put it on ignore if you don’t want to see it or if it bothers you. People are just speculating not performing voodoo in here. Directs are foundations of modern day Nintendo. It’s part of their dna and you’d think it’d be no problem on the focused Nintendo website. But like I said I’m probably not ingrained into online communities much to understand lol.

 

[LukasManak22]

I voted for close

 

[MisterSpo]

I've voted to close it down. I was going to put forward some reasoning, but then I ate lunch and the food drove thoughts out of my brain.

sticks needle in my copy of Dark Cloud

 

[rickyson33]

I feel like not having these open year round makes them feel like more of an event, plus personally speaking I tend to mostly check out when Directs aren't close and it's nice to not really feel like I missed much

 

[Gabev]

Catching up with the thread and I can only wonder what's up with Endless Ocean, I only remember it because the Game Grumps did a one off about it and I always thought it was one of those 3rd party shovel ware games that was thrown on the Wii as a quick cash grab.

I am not trying to throw shade on the games because catching up on the thread people seem to really love that game, but I don't get what the game is about and who is the developer?

 

[D36]

June for Switch 2 reveal.

Everything in flux always, but I’m feeling good, so eh.

If it's being revealed in June, that'd still be a 9 month wait for the Switch 2........

 

[Ylork]

I think it's a good idea to close, take a short break (one or two weeks) and start afresh.

I don't know how much do you know about Direct Speculation culture (I'm an expert), but closing the thread after it's done is huge part of it. It's not like in Future Hardware Speculation Thread where you can go forward until the end of times. When Direct thread is done, it's done.

Who the fuck just shot into his foot?

[Hylianhero777]

Considering the delay of Switch 2 into March 2025 seems to have been a pretty recent change, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole release slate shuffles around. If Paper Mario TTYD was supposed to be H1 2024 I could see it being moved into a bigger holiday slot if games that would have otherwise filled that slot have been pushed to March.

 

[Sparkling Hootle]

i want to play unicorn overlord so bad

i also want a fire emblem 4 remake so bad

if I were to just get fe4 I would be happy for the remainder of the year

I'm OK With that.
Directs shouldn't be very exciting, but at least we'll have something to hype about in june and Nintendo won't stay mum about the succ.

 

[Kaizo]

Real direct in April, Darkman 4K out today. Times are changing for the better!

 

[Lugia667]

insert thanos meme about poll results

 

[Dark Cloud]

Thank goodness down votes are turned off on YouTube. It would’ve looked bad for this partner direct

 

[rickyson33]

i want to play unicorn overlord so bad

i also want a fire emblem 4 remake so bad

if I were to just get fe4 I would be happy for the remainder of the year

as much as i'd also like to see it I feel like anyone expecting even a tiny chance of FE4 tomorrow is just setting themselves up for disappointment

as far as Unicorn Overlord goes that should see a demo tomorrow, Pyoro liked a tweet about it getting one

 

[Ylork]

I want Fire Emblem 4, too. I hope it will be unveiled in April.

It's the only remake I expect to see on Switch.

Maybe Metroid Prime 2+3 but the rumors are still very vague for me.... But Metroid Prime 4, I believe it will be released at the end of the year on Switch !
