Smash 64 would make my entire year. Please Nintendo, pleeeeeeeease.I'd love to see GoldenEye as well, but I'm assuming it's gonna be a non-starter so long as Russia's aggression against Ukraine is maintained.
Wave Race 64 feels like a good summer type of game, I'd be genuinely happy if Super Smash Bros was added earlier than later in the service, though.
Harvest Moon 64 would be neat but I have a feeling there's probably some licensing bullshit going on there between Natsume and Marvelous
Now we know what precipitated this Direct.Literally cancelled my Splatoon 3 pre-order just yesterday.
it's bad like f-zero yeahok now I'm curious, how is wave race actually?
Is it good or it's like f-zero? (f-zer=bad)
I always hear people talk about it here and I've never tried one and don't understand what's the appeal.
Originally referred to as "F-Zero on water", the game was intended to feature high-speed boats with transforming capabilities, but these were ultimately replaced with Jet Skis as producer Shigeru Miyamoto felt that the game would not be differentiated enough from other titles on other systems.
Indie direct has to happen around the 17th or 24th and then we will be good to move onSo now we have the Splatoon 3 Direct out of the Way, can we start speculate for the Fall Direct.
General Direct in September then, right? RIGHT!?
I don't think we're getting a bayo 3 direct. I know we had a bayo 2 direct in the past but that was the wiiU era, they had like 3 games for 6 months and they needed something to talk about.Nintendo Partner Showcase early September
Bayonetta 3 Direct late September
Next general Direct for the common #TeamJanuary W
January or February.Nintendo Partner Showcase early September

Ah, my bad. I interpreted this as complaining about MP4 taking forever.Is the snark really neccessary?
I was reffering to the fact that in recent years, many of their announcements have come very close to their release dates.
No worries!Ah, my bad. I interpreted this as complaining about MP4 taking forever.
Most nintendo games arent fit for showing at the TGAS.
The definitive proof that nintendo doesnt cares about them anymore will be if MP4 doesnt appears in anyway in the show in the next years.
If it's another one of those jam packed with Square Enix stuff Partner Showcases, I won't complain. Despite all the upcoming and dated Square Enix games this year, there still are few leaked stuff that haven't been revealed yet.If you don't expect/want a Partner Showcase, that's when Nintendo will give it to you.
Extra on-demand so you know how fluff-filled it really is
Which leaks are those, if I may ask?If it's another one of those jam packed with Square Enix stuff Partner Showcases, I won't complain. Despite all the upcoming and dated Square Enix games this year, there still are few leaked stuff that haven't been revealed yet.
Nvidia leak, Final Fantasy Tactics and FF9 remake remain to be revealed. Square's list in that database turned out to be the most legitimate one.Which leaks are those, if I may ask?
I keep forgetting about that Nvidia leak The list I saw on PC Gamer also reminded me of Mirror's Edge getting and RTX re-release, so I hope that comes to pass before long (I'd also 110% buy Mirror's Edge on Switch day zero pre-order ahead of launch if EA didn't play childish mindgames at the C-level)Nvidia leak, Final Fantasy Tactics and FF9 remake remain to be revealed. Square's list in that database turned out to be the most legitimate one.
Play-asia also leaked SaGa Frontier 2 remaster.
There are also games that are revealed to be in dev by the devs, like new SaGa and Mana games. Been quite a while, both should be closer to their reveals.
In three days, there's a THQ Nordic presentation. While the recently re-founded Free Radical is currently under Deep Silver umbrella, it's worth to remember that THQ recently got the Second Sight IP from Deep Silver. Second Sight is from Free Radical too (it even got some Timesplitters easter eggs). I'm not saying that means anything but since Deep Silver won't have their own presentation... Maybe......and TimeSplitter 2 getting a remaster, but I'm getting sidetracked off my own original snarky comment disparaging partner showcases lmao
Oh damn, first I heard of this presentation Just watched that teaser trailer, I guess probably nothing as yet to hint to TS in any capacity, but man oh man I would be stoked to hear some news on that front.In three days, there's a THQ Nordic presentation.

Second Sight is a real possibility though. It's from the same devs and imo was the best third person action game on GameCube. Keep an eye on it.Oh damn, first I heard of this presentation Just watched that teaser trailer, I guess probably nothing as yet to hint to TS in any capacity, but man oh man I would be stoked to hear some news on that front.
TimeSplitters making a comeback (and on Switch) would be more hype to me than GoldenEye, and at least the former has a better chance then either GE or Halo being announced on Switch in the near future.
I feel like we know a lot more about the game than most are letting on between the trailers and screenshots, it’s just not so clearly spelled out so only those putting together the pieces (not me) know. Saying 18 months without “substantial info” feels wrong to me.Man, it’s wild that we’ve gone nearly 18 months since reveal without really getting any sort of substantial information. This is very sorely needed.
Didn’t understand for a while why they announced Splatoon 3 so early (they could’ve easily teased Metroid Dread as their closer for that direct instead), but given how huge it is in Japan I definitely get it now. That level of hype just doesn’t really translate to the west I suppose.

Truthfully never heard of it before, but I'll definitely keep a lookout for it! Honestly any kind of action shooter is sorely needed on Switch; better to have some decent multiplayer online that isn't monetized to hell and back but I'll take when I can get at this rate.Second Sight is a real possibility though. It's from the same devs and imo was the best third person action game on GameCube. Keep an eye on it.
I’m a sucker for licensed games (especially the nick ones).Personally, I’m excited for the THQ showcase, cuz that means more of Spongeboy me bob (and hopefully more Nick games).

Which date format is this? MM/DD or DD/MM?they really did announce a direct on 8/8 for the game coming out on 9/9
Wasn’t the main reason they announced it so early was to do hiring calls for it?Splatoon 2 has sold over 10 million copies. People underestimate how big that game was. When you sell that much, games get announced earlier because they are system sellers. Metroid Dread is insignificant in comparison. So rather then go with the much smaller announcement, they went with the big one.
Drake launch is 10/10 confirmed.they really did announce a direct on 8/8 for the game coming out on 9/9
11/11/22...Drake launch is 10/10 confirmed.
Wasn’t the main reason they announced it so early was to do hiring calls for it?
Nonsense, that's the reveal date for Skyrim 2.11/11/22...
I remember when I had dreams...
Nintendo fans upon discovering this: "Is this a clue regarding Nintendo's modus operandi from now on?"they really did announce a direct on 8/8 for the game coming out on 9/9
Maybe, but I don't really know where they're seeing that type of stuff. The first two trailers were both incredibly cryptic with very little of substance to actually offer, while the third and fourth trailers were just gameplay showcases of Salmon Run and Turf War which, while nice, don't really tell us a whole lot.I feel like we know a lot more about the game than most are letting on between the trailers and screenshots, it’s just not so clearly spelled out so only those putting together the pieces (not me) know.

It's definitely a big title, but I'm not quite sold on the idea that it's so big that it warrants this type of special treatment. I already don't like how long the marketing for Zelda games take, and Breath of the Wild sold twice as many copies as Splatoon 2. Splatoon 3 isn't big enough outside of Japan for me to think it deserves the slow burn marketing cycle yet. If Pokemon and Mario aren't getting these types of marketing cycles, I don't see why Splatoon should get one either.Splatoon 2 has sold over 10 million copies. People underestimate how big that game was. When you sell that much, games get announced earlier because they are system sellers. Metroid Dread is insignificant in comparison.

...that's why it didn't. It got announced eons ago, and then, as you point out, we got functionally noting for over a year. We're really only getting the usual one month marketing push.Splatoon 3 isn't big enough outside of Japan for me to think it deserves the slow burn marketing cycle yet.
