2 things I would fall through my chair if it happens this sunday on microsoft conference:
1) New Banjo game (either remake or totally new game, if its a new game, please be an open world with fully interconnected levels and pure platform gameplay)
2) Guitar Hero 1+2 remake, with master recordings instead of cover but being as faithfull as possible on charts. This also available on Switch and PS systems.
Will my pleads be truth someday??
As for Microsoft x Switch; if they are now preparing a Gears of War collection, maybe one day...(with Halo ).
We got recently the revival of Tony Hawk and in the future Skate, and well, skating isn't as popular as it was 20 years ago so well, who knows. Though this is more a dream than something I fully expect in the near future.I think the Rock Band launch from a few years back signaled that the music/instrument genre isn't coming back.
At least not in the scope it was back then, and with all that hardware. i do see its future in less specialised controllers and either as a GaaS because of the song licence cost, or in the sense Beat Saber came, where specific music for the game is made... or where more independent artists sell the rights for a reasonable amount. We wont see those games for the big hits or back catalogues for acts like beatles, led zepelin, guns n roses and stuff.I think the Rock Band launch from a few years back signaled that the music/instrument genre isn't coming back.

It would have to be the infamous January Direct in 2013... which in all honesty isn't the greatest Nintendo Direct of all time.... BUT The Wii U had launched some time before that in 2012.... it was sort of a rough launch with the whole Day one OS update... bad press and overall lack of excitement around the Wii U. I was working at Sony at the time and so to say I was pretty alone in my Nintendo fandom was un understatement. Things weren't looking all that interesting or great for the Wii U ... you could tell even before the launch that the writing was on the wall. (leaks and specs and tech talk was not positive)Alright so yesterday when vibes were low I had an idea to lift things up in in here...
Quote reply to this message with your favorite memory of a Direct Announcement. Be specific: where were you when you were watching, how many tears did you shed, what were your Direct snacks?
I’ll randomly pick one of the (valid) replies tomorrow (Saturday) morning and gift them an eshop game of their choosing, $20 max! (or I suppose credit if a code isn't possible) Include the game you’d be hoping to grab with it in your reply to give the devs some love
My entry is the E3 2019 Direct. I'm sure I was not the only person to react like this.Alright so yesterday when vibes were low I had an idea to lift things up in in here...

I think I figured it out now. This is the second time since Nate is posting Elmo in 24 hours, so it clearly is a hint. I looked at up and Elmo became available in 1996. 2022-1996 = 26. So Direct is confirmed for June 26th, yeah you would say that it's on Sunday but I have clear explanation: Donkey Kong Land was released on June 26th for Game Boy. Remake to be announced at the Direct, because of the anniversary. Thank me later.
And then you woke upWith this direct coming late I’m further on board with the new Fire Emblem coming in the September direct.
Big announcements for
September Direct- new Fire Emblem game, Pikmin 4, GB/GBC to NSO
February Direct 2023- New Star Fox, Style Savvy, new 3D Mario, Paper Mario TTYD remake
June 13, 2023- New F-Zero, New Wario Land, New 2D Zelda
And then you woke up
Open your eyes, wake up Link.
Square is the one paying in that case, so it all depends on how much Square wants to promote console ports of the Píxel RemastersWhat are the chances Square throws Nintendo a bone and announces the console ports of the Pixel remasters during the next direct?
I really hope so, they'd be such a great fit.What are the chances Square throws Nintendo a bone and announces the console ports of the Pixel remasters during the next direct?
I need a trailer at minimum in order to get excited for the next part of Remake.Square Enix is actually winning not-E3 for me I think, we may actually get 7R2 news next week in addition to XVI already getting some!
I think he said that it's not next week.Why have people written off next week entirely? I know Nate said not 14th, and 15th didn't line up with his info, but what about Thursday?
Nate also said in a twitter reply that it wasnt next week.Why have people written off next week entirely? I know Nate said not 14th, and 15th didn't line up with his info, but what about Thursday?

Miyamoto after seeing Direct with Pikmin 4:
I would turn Super Saiyan on the spot. Can't wait for Emily's "2023 is a great year to be a plumber" tease hahaFebruary Direct 2023- New Star Fox, Style Savvy, new 3D Mario, Paper Mario TTYD remake
you mean Star Fox Zero port?That’ll be me after seeing a new Star Fox without Miyamoto’s involvement
you mean Star Fox Zero port?
I think that Fami is talking about Pikmin 4 so much that we manifested it, it will happen, soon-ish.

I enjoy seeing Fire Emblem fans suffer a little longer.I think I’m missing something
Why is the fact that a direct will come later than usual an indicator of Fire Emblem being in the September direct and not in this one?
Please, I just want to see it.
NOOOOOOI enjoy seeing Fire Emblem fans suffer a little longer.
I'd love to see Guitar Hero or Rock Band come back, but there was a huge boom and bust with plastic instruments. Nobody wants to make them anymore. It's like the US video game market in 1984. We need Nintendo to resurrect it!2 things I would fall through my chair if it happens this sunday on microsoft conference:

Probably just referring to Ragnarok's new release date, right?Tom Henderson said there’s more Sony news coming the end of this month. Can you imagine if we get a Nintendo Direct and a Sony State of Play the last week of the month? Would be great
Probably just referring to Ragnarok's new release date, right?
GOW "announcement later this month".
This is consistent with some other important announcements from Sony during the last week of this month. So there's a possible a SoP inbound?
Sounds like there’s more announcements.
The puppets are back?Maybe Nate’s GIFs are a hint that Elmo will be his cohost
Come on Fox do a barell roll.The puppets are back?
