Also it is VERY funny to me that Nier: Automata and Persona 5, two amazing games that came out a few weeks apart in 2017 and fought for a lot of the same awards and conversation, are coming out on Switch five years later, again, a few weeks apart.
Smash the targets and light the platforms mode baby!What's the appeal in Smash 64? Not a dig or anything, I just don't get wanting to play it over Ultimate. Is it nostalgia, or that it's a simpler game?
Okay thinking about it a bit more, this may be more down to my own personal interests and not being all that hyped for ports due to other systems, but it was a pretty good show overall. Mostly I just want to know what the hell is next and what is going on with Nintendo's marketing for the rest of the summer. Onward to more speculation!Overall thoughts on the Direct:
It was pretty good, especially for a Partner Showcase, but it definitely felt lacking in "new". Lots of great ports finally confirmed, some updated looks and release dates for things like M+R2, but in terms of like big actual new announcements, was the SE Atelier-farm-sim the only new game? Could just be that I didn't personally care for a lot of the things shown, but it left me a bit... 'eh' overall.
Oh wow.Hey, just a heads-up for everyone here:

Sorry, I missed you quoting me.How is it?
I’ve been wanting to play it with the JP dub for a long time, but the Vita version doesn’t let me do that. I’m so glad we’re finally getting a Switch version.I want to play Persona 4 on my Switch so bad. Guess I won’t be touching my Steam version anymore ^_^’
I would say it’s equivalent to playing something like Mario Tennis (N64) instead of Mario Tennis Aces or Street Fighter II instead of IV (or V if you are into that kind of thing). The former games have the same basic foundation without the decades of mechanics layered on top. They are easier to immediately pick up and play, and they don’t have as many barriers separating players of different skill levels.What's the appeal in Smash 64?

Less than an hour iirc.Isn't nintendo's shareholders meeting on in a few hrs?
Don’t forget the rad pinball-like sound effects used for hitsI would say it’s equivalent to playing something like Mario Tennis (N64) instead of Mario Tennis Aces or Street Fighter II instead of IV (or V if you are into that kind of thing).

Smash 64 has less special moves, less characters to learn, less intrusive stage hazards, and less items in addition to being easier to read than Ultimate. Entire mechanics like ultimate smashes, air dodges, and even charged Smash attacks aren’t included.
Speaking personally, it’s my preferred Smash IF I’m playing with friends because they have an easier time getting started and the difference in our skill levels doesn’t completely ruin the experience for them. Ultimate is more fulfilling competitively, of course, but 64 isn’t without its charms.
Tl;dr pretty much yeah to both of your theories
Like others have mentioned; there's a lower barrier to entry, a smooth hit of menthol nostalgia, and the chaos is a lot more...streamlined, I guess? Not that Ultimate isn't fun for an eight player brawl that with items on is more luck of the draw than anything else, but Smash 64 just has a certain draw whether its calling to youth or university lounges. More hardcore players are as vested in the meta as much as Melee players, but four wired controllers forcing everyone onto the couch just has a certain appeal like no otherWhat's the appeal in Smash 64?

Yes! Thus Luigi’s Up Special was dubbed “Schping” in my household, a name it has carried ever sense.Don’t forget the rad pinball-like sound effects used for hits
Oooh me me! I hope someone asks why they don't get more free merch again, those're greatWho's ready for some ridiculous shareholder question hype?
Board the platformsSmash the targets and light the platforms mode baby!
Furukawas reaction to his leadership board everytime somebody asks something stupid:Who's ready for some ridiculous shareholder question hype?
“Miyamoto-San, tomorrow Ubisoft is showing off the new Mario game. When did Nintendo sell the IP rights to the franchise to them and Universal?”Who's ready for some ridiculous shareholder question hype?

Someone who attended Nintendo's meeting. I think the answer could be interesting but translate japanese is difficultWho is that? What do they say? Can't just drop a tweet with no context
I love how the later it gets on Famiboards, the higher chance there is of Costanza gifs.
I still cant get gifs to work for me xD
I actually find interesing that Cygames decided to revive Little Noah as a rogue lite. This game is directed by Matsuura (the same of Dragalia Lost) and it's interesting to see the inspiration of the game came after he played Dead Cells, and even he admits that since the development time was short they recycled all the models from the mobile game, like literally just putting some of the same graphics (the monsters and Noah's dialogue graphics are the same, just HD).
Play it for a couple of hours and find it fun, similar to Lapis X labyrinth where you are always gaining something and progressing with your character. The important part is the combat where you gain spirits, which works like cards, you assign them in the order you want to have your main chain attack, and each one has also a unique skill that can be used with X. There are also other mechanics like special attacks and overall you have a lot of options once you start unlocking different spirits. The bosses can be challenging and its performs decently. Heres a quick video of the combat
Can someone translate this? It was a question in the investors meeting about remakes of old titles like F-Zero, Baten Kaitos...
F-zero remakeYou can paste the text into google translate. Type Japanese to English in Google and then just paste text.
Co....STANZA!I love how the later it gets on Famiboards, the higher chance there is of Costanza gifs.
I asked for an accurate translation because many people retweeted that answer from Takahashi about remakes. I guess we'll have a transcription soon.You can paste the text into google translate. Type Japanese to English in Google and then just paste text.
