Hey, hey hey hey,

Odds on New Pokemon Snap getting another DLC update? I still feel whatever that mini-making raygun was, it was intended to also be spread to the other areas to encounter yet more Pokemon
Thats what I was thinking recently, Ive finally got back into the game since around the time it came out and am addicted to finishing the game, its so good. If theres a Pokemon Snap update in the Direct and no BOTW2 news I will be almost satisfied lol
 
Umbrellas again huh

Yeah I'm sticking to my theory that

Umbrella = RE
Pizza = TMNT
 
The only thing that gives me pause is that as recently as his last podcast he said he didn't know about the state of the game
Can't imagine what else the (multiple) umbrella teases would be referring to.

Like, Bayonetta 3 (umbra) is a huge stretch but maybe?

If there is a Pokemon Snap update it would be in a pokemon presents and not a direct imo
 
Question for you all, if the whole Direct leaked right now and posted in this thread in a spoiler tag, would you have the willpower to not look at the leak and wait till the actual Direct?

At certain points in my Direct viewing history - not at all.

Right now? Probably. I'd mute this thread, add some mutes on Twitter and just see how I go.

Unlike past years, I was already happy with the software lined up for 2022 before the year started. About the only thing I'm actually on the edge of my seat about is how the revision is going to pan out.

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
"Please, share my umbrella"
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella
 
RUMBLING RUMBLING ITS COMING

Wow this thread has been crazy active haha
I really enjoy the excitement building up right before the Direct the most! Feels like an event on itself!

Is it sacrilege to say that... I'm not actually 'that' hyped right now?

I don't know what's up with me but I'm not feeling the Direct excitement in the way I was in previous years. It sucks :(
Sounds healthy tbh. Hopefully they announce a few things to make you excited, but at least you won't be disappointed!

Add Splatoon 3 to that Hard Lock list! If that is coming out this summer, then it should for sure be shown in at least some form here (if not in extensive detail/in it's own direct next month or something). And then, maybe we'll get a testfire around E3 time!

True, but selfishly I want the update sooner rather than later even if the release is the same date haha (April 30th for the one year anniversary? 🤔)

rainway is finally actually coming to switch
Holy shit the hollow laughter that rang from my belly reading this one ahaha

Steam Deck would be shooketh
 
The desserts are fine, but the main dishes and everything else are where it’s at. For starters, they do things with yogurt that aren’t just adding fruit to it.
Eh, we haven't been that much creative with yogurt. Only two recipes exist: Tzaztiki and Haydari and they're basically the same except cucumber. Depending on the region they serve yogurt next to fat heavy food: veggie fritters, stuffed bell peppers, zucchini pancakes. Some kebab places also serve Iskender with yogurt and that's it.
I'd laugh so hard if Nate was teasing a Heavy Rain port.
Wasn't their deal with Sony only for PC ports? I don't think Sony would be ok QD games appearing on other platforms.

Regardless, I'll never play another David Cage game.

LOL it's not a joke???

Anyway you're right, splatoon 3 is on there I just forgot about it
 
You know what game you'd need an umbrella for?

This one:

You know who would be good at cutting pizza?

This guy:

It's gonna be a random Konami port direct! Get hyped!
 
so will we this chrono cross remaster at this direct? or does sony have dibs on it?
 
There is a distinct lack of denial that is greatly boosting my hopium dosage, tomorrow for sure
The trick to not being worried about it not being tomorrow is to commit yourself so hard to the idea that it has to be the 9th, months ago, so much so that there is absolutely no way you can envision it being any other day.

And if for some reason it winds up not being the 9th you've then committed enough of your internal willpower to it being the 9th that you'll be able to create an alternate reality where it indeed is on the 9th.

This is how superheroes are born.

This would be a HUGE deal to me! Especially with all the recent news/memes about Nintendo's copyright claims. I'd love to play their soundtracks in the background while I work during the day.

I would not say no to an MGRR Remaster, aka MGRRR.

Judging from how they are already teasing splatoon 3 content in the corocoro manga, i'd say it'll end up being april or may.
 
Kind of wish I didnt work on the 9th but at least I wont be bored messing around on the internet and counting down each hour until the Direct XD

Pretty sure that's the sound my dog makes when she sees a dog on the TV.
It is also quite close to MRGRGR, which probably means the game will for some unexplicable reason come with Bravely Default cross-over content.

Well, you were hoping for some reassurance. I think it should be pretty reassuring that it’s raining at the pizza parlor.

OK - since it's probably gonna be there, what do you want the 'idol' group of Splatoon 3 to be inspired by? Personally, I've prepared a succinct image of how I feel about the types of duo that the third game could take inspiration from:

I want idols that have a unique kind of music the rest of the bands in the game don't play. My bet is something close to that Daft Punk idea with electronic music

Obviously the umbrella is just teasing that they will introduce a new type of Brella weapon in Splatoon 3 :)

My neighbor is walking with a pizza-themed umbrella and it's creepy looking.
The leak is a My Neighbour Totoro game except you run a pizzeria for the spirits of the forest

Change my mind.

Splatoon 3 going full Robot Rock would have me pre-order so goddamn fast (and I've otherwise already accepted Splatoon isn't for me and have no interest in grabbing the new game)
