I don't see how suddenly Rockstar got around the reported problems of the GTAV port (cart size, CPU limitations) with RDR2.

They were both developed on the RAGE engine, and RDR2 was created for eight generation specs. RDR2 just seems like it would be even more of a headache, unless it's a Pro exclusive or something.
Most likely Nintendo helped funding the RDR2 port. They must have picked RDR2 over GTA5 as it's a more recent title and its "miracle port" status would turn some heads, like The Witcher 3 did. RDR2 should be a better pick to showcase the capabilities of Pro/Drake.

It was really excellent. I happen to love tower defense as well so the combat ended up being very satisfying

Re: nirvanA - any need to play the first game ? I remember hearing Kotaku Split Screen (now Triple Click) talk about it pretty positively, but I’d rather play whatever’s newer if they aren’t connected
Right at the start of NirvanA Initiative it asks you two questions if you have played the first game and directly assures you you don’t have to have played the first game at all as the cases are unrelated.

You have to answer both questions right by typing in answers and if you get it wrong the dialogue literally changes to not address the first game at certain points to preserve the bigger mysteries. I learned this since I wanted them to address the first game, but I failed the quiz and noticed certain conversation questions didn’t give me an answer I expected. Thankfully you can retake the quiz easily and spoiler dialogue is unlocked from then on. I reloaded a few spots and had completely different conversations. It’s pretty cool.

Reason why they pick RDR2 over GTAV in my eyes is that RDR2 will probably not have the Multiplayer mode which isnt excatly populare like GTAV. GTA Online would not work on Switch due to the limitation of the hardware which why they stop updating the PS3/XB360 version probably going do the same with PS4/XBO in about a year or so.
 
Pikmin 4 in 4K is gonna look incredible just saying
Pikmin 3 is a beautiful game too even tho you can tell it startet on the Wii. Some of the environments and models are incredible.
Pikmin 4k would be glorious. The possibilites have me drooling.
 
it sounds like a Mini with a really small showing from Nintendo. I might have to revise my predictions. Even if it’s not called a “Mini Direct” it’ll be a direct where the vast majority of announcements, headlines, focuses are third party.

pikmin 3 manages to be very good looking to this day and also very crusty. Especially the ground textures or anything that gets too close to the camera. Or lighting. I certainly wouldn't say its bloom lighting, but you can see that the baked lighting isnt very good. Same with some parts of Mario Kart 8, specifically the Airport
 
Nope, just paranoia and panic

To me it seems like all of these insiders have heard of a handful of third party games and basically nothing first party and are just assuming there won't be any.
Maybe it's just copium, but what if Nintendo is keeping their cards close to their chest so they simply haven't leaked (yet).
Anyways, I really hope it's a General Direct - I don't think I can handle waiting until September.

Yeah, some textures can be rough but all the charme and colors distract from it imo but maybe thats my inner Pikmin fanboy speaking

Yeah excluding external partners Nintendo has always been super tight on keeping internal games locked down

I’m with you on that. Also, I think Nintendo would be dumb if they waited to distanciate themselves from the SGF only to have a Mini/Partner.

It's a Direct Mini Partner. Doesn't mean Nintendo has no presence. Just means they are not the focus.
I literally just called it lol.

So what I would expect from Nintendo

WWHD
Mario Kart dlc update
Mario + Rabbids (sorta counts)
Maybe a new third party licensed game?

Definitely no Metroid Prime Remaster
 
So it's a Partner Direct after all.. that only leaves Mario + Rabbids 2 and Bayonetta 3 as the only probably Nintendo games to show, given they're made by third party devs

Makes the most sense with a pretty full (in number , maybe not what you personally want) summer and fall schedule. I personally am excited to see what stuff might be coming.
 
The Snitch posted about God of War info next week. Alanah was the first to report on the exact date of the direct, GOW release was in 2018, how did we all miss God of War on Switch??

I’m joking, but YouTubers feel free to use that as a clickbait headline
