I wish this site had a live replies mode or something. I need to see everyone losing it at the littlest bit of news in real time

I only have one question; would Bayonetta 3 qualify for a partner showcase as a Nintendo published and potentially co-developed game, or probably not gonna be there?

Well in one of the partner directs Age of Calamity was shown so I think anything that's externally made could be fair game. The other 2 had notable focus like Capcom and Atlus which with an major console exclusive, though we'll see if that's actually the case for SMTV.

Edit: I though there was only three but there was actually a 4th in 2020 but it show much outside of the KH music game which is probably why I don't remember it.

Stuff that could possibly be in the Partner Showcase:
  • Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
  • Hollow Knight Silksong
  • Unknown 2018 popular game (could be COD, Assassins Creed Odyssey, RDR2, Fallout 76, etc)
  • Persona ports
  • Final Fantasy 9 remake/remaster
  • Batman Arkham Collection
Am I missing any other rumored titles? Bayonetta 3 got shot down by Nate IIRC.

There's some Sonic Frontiers info with a NDA ending on the 29th, could just be a coincidence though

Maybe unlikely but there's also some unannounced Capcom projects that were supposed to come out this year, like an unknown Mega Man project (maybe a spin-off due to its naming). They could leave it to some anniversary event though

Whatever happens I’m sure it’s fine and will hold us till September. It’s not that far away and if persona comes to switch I’m satisfied till September cause that’s when splatoon 3 comes out

I guess the rumored Resident Evil switch game, Daemon X Machina 2, or something out of nowhere.

Don't forget Outer Wilds. That game has to resurface at some point.

Oh, and Tunic too. I think it might show up.

I am already lighting a few candles for the mysterious 2018 game to be RDR2. I have always wanted to play that one, but my PC would only be able to run it very poorly.

EDIT: I just remembered another interesting candidate. Oxenfree 2. It was the "one more thing" in an Indie Direct, so maybe it has graduated into being non-Indie-Direct material.

That's the thing, a Partner COULD be good if they really went all out with stuff like that. The ones we had in 2020 were just so hit and miss, mostly miss IMO

One could also argue that partner could mean anything other than internal studios meaning Retro/Next level/Good-feel/grezzo/monolith would qualify as they subsidiarys or work close but aren't internal studios like EPD.

I think partner means no games from nintendo franchises or at least revealed games from a nintendo propety

So I’ve heard a few people here hoping to finally see AA7, and as a new fan who finished SoJ earlier this year, lemme ask, for those excited, what do you think/want the game to be about plot-wise?

Other leaked stuff:
Remnant From the Ashes
Borderlands 3
Humankind
Tactics Ogre/Final Fantasy Tactics
Pathless

Capcom's mass leak suggested both Megaman and Ace Attorney are expected to be revealed around now, both are pretty possible reveals.

I really wish Outer Wild will be there !
 
Nice! So yeah, I'm going to be honest with yall, I REALLY hope it isn't a partner (because then we wouldn't get Mario Kart DLC news). But alas, if it is, I'm willing to accept it, after all I just gotten into Persona 5, and seeing it announced on Switch would be nice at least.

I think it’s important to note that some people really hate leaks and will purposely troll just to get leakers to stop. But there’s also just as many that don’t have comprehension skills and completely misinterpret what is said.

Either way, no one scare Liam or Nate away, they are some of my favorite video game content providers. They both do top tier podcasts and Liam’s Game History Secrets videos are great
 
I kinda wish there was a thread or website that “insiders” weren’t allowed on. 90% of people here live and die on what one person speculates.

My wishlist:

Mario Kart DLC
Persona 5 for Switch
Mario Party Superstars DLC
GBA announced for Switch Online I guess

Piss I ran out of ideas

Edit: I guess some Sonic Frontiers idk
 
RochHoch said:
I don't buy the "well maybe they'll do something for first-party games later in the Summer" idea when they typically do a Direct in September before TGS. Why skip June only to space two first-party presentations closer together?

But of course, that's assuming that even the usual September Direct is a safe bet anymore, which it might not be since apparently were stuck in another 2020 Partner Presentation hellscape again

We're fucked until September, at minimum

Your amount of angst on the matter seems unhealthy, while it will be disappointing if nothing shows up soon, it isn't that big of a deal either, your happiness shouldn't be centered around the whims of a corporation, no true pattern or schedule exist for this stuff and if fans want to hype themselves up based on assumption and rumors that's their problem. In the end you should simply judge things as they happen and act accordingly, it's the same sort of people who hype every upcoming year as the sure fire best year ever only to once again be faced with the mixture of disappointing releases and delays, people really need to let up on these cycles they create on their own.
 
Seriously though, there's so much that Nintendo has gotta announce sooner or later. The Mario Strikers updates, the Mario Kart DLC, Xenobla- oh wait

This day is approaching. This has soured me on giving any advance notice of a Direct broadcast, tbh.

That will be a very sad day, but if/when it comes, I hope at the very least you stick around the site for shits and giggles, just to continue contributing to the fun dynamic here that doesn't have to revolve around your insider knowledge.

People will tweet at me and attack me. All the while, I'm swimming in the pool and getting some sun for a sweet tan.

Nate really said "go touch grass" to the haters and HE'S RIGHT

Enjoy that Hennessy, my friend. Just had a few glasses of Ommegang Witte at the local lake myself after seeing a movie with friends

Hope you dig it! I just got out of The Black Phone. It has some issues, but I really enjoyed it.

I hope it's RDR2 as well, but I remember on the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 website, the 2018 CoD, the game was suddenly listed for Switch for a while, not sure if it's still there.

tbh I think the Mario Kart team can take as long as they need on new tracks. Some of the tracks in pack 1 were a little light on visual detail. I know they’re ports of the Tour tracks and that’s fine, but I don’t mind if they wanna spend a little more time on em.
 
On one hand, I'll be a tad bit disappointed if a partner occurs. On the OTHER hand, I'll lmfao seeing Twitter burn to the fucking ground (I stole this meme btw)!!

Yeah MK8DLC would’ve been the most likely thing for an E3 direct, so I’m puzzled if we don’t get news on that
Click to expand...
this is very silly of me after my premature victory lap earlier, but I have shifted my expectations to a normal mini that has some first party odds and ends (switch sports update, mario kart wave 2, etc)
 
Should we still expect something re: Skyrim Anniversary Edition? I feel like there was a rating for it some time ago.
