“HI, EVERYBODY! Elmo laugh”The puppets are back?
It's not my favorite direct, but I have the best memories of watching e3 2019. I was visiting family in Japan, so I woke up at 2 in the morning to watch it live.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
Take solace in the knowledge it's coming this month and that, as of this week, the Switch release calendar is picking up again, especially for Nintendo titles from now on.Would've loved to get a Direct announcement, my morale is kinda low these days.
Gonna use this as an excuse to talk about how happy I am to have a bunch of friends who can be just as hyped for these Directs as I am, due to this, I’ve been able to make a decent viewing event out of every major direct (with the exception of last February) since 2019. Whether I was back in high school watching the February 2019 Direct at a Korean BBQ after a band competition, or complete blindside of everyone’s expectations for the most recent show, seriously, everyone there wasn’t expecting much, I just thought we’d get FE and Xenoblade (two series’s I’m not the biggest fan of) and that’d be it, but instead, the entire room exploded like three times! (Switch Sports, Mario Strikers, and 8 Deluxe DLC)Alright so yesterday when vibes were low I had an idea to lift things up in in here...

Im so eager for the "is this switch pro footage"Well you’re gonna have to wait 2 weeks
Even if not up to the mark of JH’s regular work, the puppets were leagues better quality than Star Fox Zero itself!I'm probably the only person who thought the Star Fox Zero puppets looked really cheap and kinda bad. Jim Henson Company has done amazing stuff, but those were obviously thrown together for a gag.
Also another unpopular opinion, but I kinda want Miyamoto to stay far away from Star Fox. I doubt he'll get involved too dramatically nowadays since he hasn't really gotten involved in game development during the Switch era, but if his main contributions the past 11 years have been remakes of SF64 with controller gimmicks, I'd much rather have him just champion for a new entry, but let someone else take creative control.
The one-two come plus large fries with thatThe one-two combo of Astral Chain and Link's Awakening in Feb 2019 remains the most excited I've been during a Direct. Something wild and new I didn't know wanted, plus a gorgeous remake of something I love.
God I would love to see what Mario and Luigi looks like on switch!For new announcements Kit predicted a new Fire Emblem (thinks this could be September) and Mario and Luigi game.
Krysta predicted a new switch SKU and WWHD port…and I thought people could be pessimistic on forums…

Yeah…I’m sure it’s tough though because they most likely know about some things, even if it’s not a lot.For new announcements Kit predicted a new Fire Emblem (thinks this could be September) and Mario and Luigi game.

who would make it though?God I would love to see what Mario and Luigi looks like on switch!
OOOOOFEven if not up to the mark of JH’s regular work, the puppets were leagues better quality than Star Fox Zero itself!
Someone inside Nintendo really really likes Fire Emblem, if all the rumored games coming are true. /s (kinda)Yeah I just someone new within Nintendo to actually care about Star Fox as like, an actual game series, and not some weird vehicle for motion or touch controls or whatever. Just focus on being a solid vehicular combat arcade shooter (not necessarily just a rail-shooter mind you, contrary to popular belief), actually fully committing to evolving and building upon Star Fox, Star Fox 2 and Star Fox 64 in terms of gameplay. In some ways it kinda sorta feels like what that's what Zero was trying to do, but you know...motion controls.
Been playing a bit of SF2 on NSO lately, neat little game. Kinda shows that they were already wanting to move away from pure rail-shooting gameplay even as early as the SNES era. It's definitely super ambitious for its time and hardware, always cracks me up seeing the framerate fall to like 3 FPS when something explodes haha.
I think my favorite was the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 announcement. Not because of the game itself since I think most people expected it eventually, but the circumstances around it. My best friend and I did our CS lab assignment ahead of time so that we could watch it right after we got out of a group meeting. We were sitting in a study room in the computer science building, sharing a pair of earbuds so we didn't disturb anyone walking by.Alright so yesterday when vibes were low I had an idea to lift things up in in here...

Posted this in the Xbox thread, but this is crazy lol.
And the end of the day it's a net positive for them. Get that sweet sweet Xbox money, still launch on your preferred platforms. XBox might've even offered to assist with porting work or something.
That seems wild and unnecessary for Team Cherry. I guess they see most people buying it on Switch anyway and got a really good MS deal?
Edit: I recall it also sold a lot on Steam. Must have been a really good MS deal.
Why would this be unnecessary? Other game devs do this all the time. Just look at MLB The Show..

* laughs in 2019 Silksong gameplay *Surely if Silksong shows up on Sunday, the release date must be near, right?
...
Right?
i mean it doesn't really even matter if it's gamepass day one or not it's still going to sell best on switch and steam like the last one.

Nintendo will lose almost every deal that just requires Microsoft to throw money at them. Loyalty ain’t gonna always pay the bills lol.Nintendo wow how you let Microsoft get Silksong…
I thought MS was going all out when they decided to purchase Activision Blizzard, but this really cements it. I'm just poking fun, but a lot of people here really overestimate how big a deal certain games are. Looking at you, PG/Bayo fans.MS must be going all out if they got HKS on game pass

I mean I assume Switch will get it on the same day, it'll just also be day 1 on GPNintendo will lose almost every deal that just requires Microsoft to throw money at them. Loyalty ain’t gonna always pay the bills lol.
That’s what I’m guessing too. All this is just based off what most assumed that it would be launch on Switch and PC first and remain that way for a bitI mean I assume Switch will get it on the same day, it'll just also be day 1 on GP
