News Nintendo Direct announced for February 8th

[chocolate_supra]

Jokes on Nintendo.

I’ve had Metroid Prime 4 preorder since it was announced!

With that 20% discount too lol

Sucks that Amazon stopped that incentive. I actually used to preorder games back then because of it.

 

[Xaltmas]

Listings aren't being removed because of price changes. Nintendo is literally cancelling all videogames at this very moment.

 

[JorgenRaft]

You know, people dog on him but the PapaGenos fella is typically pretty good at setting expectations for how credible certain rumors could be so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Then again, Grubb shaved his god damn head because he was so confident in an announcement last time.

Who knows.

 

[psilex]

What's the Switch eShop featured page looking like right now? Any changes made today?

 

[Dark Cloud]

Nintendo is in shambles this evening.

I wonder how they’ll survive this which is worse than the Wii U

 

[thoughthaver]

Nintendo will never take my $48 Prime 4 pre-order

 

[Dragoncaine]

Trying to read more of All-Star Superman rn but I'm finding it impossible, my head is spinning with possibilities tomorrow

 

[Soul Skater]

Looks like Bowsers Revolution landed on 10 coin price hike

 

[ekurisona]

wheres totk switch bundle preorder for $70

 

[AtomicZach]

Okay well people thought it was coming by May so I don't think that's true haha. It ain't coming until next year at the earliest it seems.

Nintendo shadowdropping Switch 2 tomorrow ala Dreamcast CONFIRMED!

 

[Awesomegames23]

"Uhhhh Mr. Bowser, the fans saw the TotK prices updates."

"And?"

"We'll I've seen them happier during the Wii U Era."

"Then I'll do what I must. Make the update "

"THE Update?!"

"Yes, we need to overshadow the price increase. Tell the retailers to update their MP4 pages."

"Yes, we need to overshadow the price increase. Tell the retailers to update their MP4 pages."

"THE Update?!"

"Yes, the system update that gives the Switch... the most stability"

 

[Mr_No_U]

Famiboards servers tomorrow at 1pm

 

[Apopheniac]

Nintendo's only putting the Switch version of TotK at $70 so the next-gen version will seem like a bargain at $65. It's about managing expectations

 

[Rareware]

They've been listed for years, I think they are taking them down because they don't want people locking in for $60

Makes sense then.

 

[Barely Able]

Famiboards servers tomorrow at 1pm

It really is gonna be a bloodbath. I wonder how many lurkers there will be

 

[Chun]

They've been listed for years, I think they are taking them down because they don't want people locking in for $60

why would they suddenly do this the night before a direct where we may or may not have seen the first $70 nintendo game? That would be a wild coincidence.

 

[Johnzyboi]

Switch 2 shadow drop!

 

[Dragoncaine]

Okay, moving onto Hi-Fi Rush. At least playing games will service my hype for tomorrow. Where are you Nathan

 

[chocolate_supra]

The Donkey Kong series for nearly a decade:

 

[Barely Able]

why would they suddenly do this the night before a direct where we may or may not have seen the first $70 nintendo game? That would be a wild coincidence.

I’m sure they got a heads up even if it’s just a day ahead. Or someone was smart and follows CAG/Wario and just took them down as a precaution. I guarantee someone has the job of following those and fixing price errors.

 

[Procheno]

I dare Nintendo to go balls to the wall with this direct to close out the last year of the Switch

Open with Donkey Kong or 2D Mario
Metroid Prime HD + Metroid Prime 4 double whammy
Xenoblade 3 Stand alone expansion
Pikmin 4
F-Zero GX HD
Mario Kart 8 DLC
Hollow Knight Silksong Shadow Drop
Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
Price Drop

 

[Barely Able]

Switch 2 shadow drop!

The ol’ Sega Saturn approach.

 

[Magic-Man]

why would they suddenly do this the night before a direct where we may or may not have seen the first $70 nintendo game? That would be a wild coincidence.

Not really. It's money saving precautions. Don't be surprised to see it happen to Pikmin 4 too.

 

[Awesomegames23]

Fami servers gonna need some mushrooms and bottled fairies for the Direct

 

[JorgenRaft]

One dollar per Pikmin on screen

 

[Legion of Primes]

Okay, moving onto Hi-Fi Rush. At least playing games will service my hype for tomorrow. Where are you Nathan

I heard it plays great on steam deck. If it wasn’t for my strain, I would do more black ops zombies.

 

[Mr Doggo]

While funny, it definitely would not be a good move. It makes me firmly believe we will get truly an amazing trailer and show people why it should be worth $70.

let me tell you all about schadenfreude

 

[chocolate_supra]

The ol’ Sega Saturn approach.

Nah, the problem with the Saturn was that it released with barely any games (due to the shadowdrop but still), and I have it on good authority that Nintendo Switch already has games.

I can show you the proof right here:

*checks pre-order pages for big upcoming Switch games*

oh....

...oh no

 

[Awesomegames23]

 

[space_dragon]

You might be primed, but is your wallet ready?

 

[chocolate_supra]

let me tell you all about schadenfreude

actually let me sing you all about schadenfreude

 

[Rareware]

So many rumors, and the vast majority of them are remasters/remakes/ports! Which one(s) do you think is most likely to appear? Or all of them?!

-Metroid Prime
-Baten Kaitos
-Kid Icarus Uprising
-Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp
-F-Zero GX
-Zelda: The Wind Waker
-Zelda: Twilight Princess

 

[theinternetman]

lemme just say that even with nintendo yet again hurting my wallet to keep up with the market i am totally stoked for this direct. its gonna be the first one that my dog ever gets to witness.

 

[Edengamer23]

Direct in 19 hours!!! Hope work passes by fast tommorow...

1) Advance Wars
2) Prime
3) F-Zero
4) Baten Kaitos
5) Kid Icarus
6) WW
7) TP

 

[Buried In Time]

Remember the two Zelda bonus discs of the Gamecube era? What if The Wind Waker & Twilight Princess double pack is included with the purchase of Tears Of The Kingdom?

no dude you gotta go back and continue reading peak fiction

very unlikely we get wind waker/twilight princess HD this year unless TOTK itself gets delayed into 2024 for Switch 2 or something. if TOTK is coming this year, Nintendo won't want competing 3D Zelda games. I even doubt they'd slate a 2-D Zelda game in the next 12 months.

 

[PikminSnezkov]

Some Pikmin type ideas that could be revealed:

One possibility could be Light Pikmin. With them, you could melt objects and maybe even solve reflection puzzles. Light is naturally occurring and even some fish are able to produce it out of their bodies.

If we get Cyan/Light Blue Pikmin, they could be Natural Gas / Radiation types.

 

[Nathan Little]

Okay, moving onto Hi-Fi Rush. At least playing games will service my hype for tomorrow. Where are you Nathan

Hello, what did I miss?

 

[Dark Cloud]

I need an oxygen mask it’s getting hard containing all this hype in me

 

[thoughthaver]

nintendo will put those 10 dollars to good use (cancel the eternal darkness remake)

 

[Marce-chan]

-F-Zero GX
-Zelda: The Wind Waker
-Zelda: Twilight Princess

Wild to be at a point where the leas likely games to be announced on a Direct are the Zelda ports lol.
I think out of the list anything but Zelda can appear.
Advance Wars is a lock, I think Metroid Prime and Baten Kaitos are on the same level of likelihood.

 

[Legion of Primes]

Here’s a what if y’all. What if they brought back the vouchers, but they can’t be used on 70 dollar games?

 

[grumpybat]

70 dollar Zelda, but not Kirby?? Such arrogance!

 

[Mr Doggo]

I think Metroid Prime and Baten Kaitos are on the same level of likelihood.

Idk, i mean at least prime is getting a sequel

I plugged my empty hopium cannisters into my phone, loaded this thread, and they are all full again, and I nearly ran out.
