?hooly fuck
it is so over lmao
New event time
yeah I feel like I owe #TeamSeptember an apology: Gamescom totally doesn't matter at allOh they ain’t bringing SHIT to gamescom
Was going to say, it's my wife's most played game on Switch. She's got more than 150 hours in Dr Mario 64 on NSO.No it's not, it was added during the first year of n64 on NSO.
Nintendo going on tour with a game that is almost 10 years old lmaoDK !!!!
yeah this is in part my badI don't know people were putting so much stock into Gamescom. Nintendo just uses that even mostly as an in-person advertisement, just like most conventions. They've brought evergreen or released titles there in the past and even when they had upcoming games scheduled, they sometimes didn't even have booths for those games at Gamecom.
I’m looking forward to this place’s jubilation when they do announce it next weekSince this is clearly not the week, looking forward to this place going into complete meltdown mode if they don't announce the direct next Tuesday
I think the likelihood of a Partner Showcase is pretty high: Nintendo will sometimes make marketing deals with third parties that I believe require them to showcase the game in a presentation in June. It’s weird, but I think it tracks.For some reason I'm getting Partner Showcase vibe for June. It doesn't make sense at all, since Nintendo has a barren fall line up, but that's just the vibe I'm getting.
Why are people comparing Nintendo's mall tour to Gamescon? Aren't those entirely different things with entirely different audiences?
Sometimes, one vote can make a difference.
Over fcking mall tour lmaoHere we go time to do this cycle
Nintendo's con appearances in the Switch era have been so hit or miss, sometimes it's the expected "bunch of demos for upcoming releases" but then it's also just been one game (Smash in 2018, I can't think of a single other game from that year they demoed at a con prior to release), and then of course, the evergreen promotions, no new games, just the big titles they've released in the past several years. Literally EGLX (a con I've been to) has had both happen, in 2018 Nintendo brought the evergreens to the show literally the day after Smash was announced, and in 2019 they brought their E3 stock (alongside the Link's Awakening dioramas actually) before a few of the games releasedWhy are people comparing Nintendo's mall tour to Gamescon?

In the next fiscal year we will be launching a successor platform, so please understand that most of our development has shifted to supporting it. However, we will continue to support Nintendo Switch with new software that will be announced as we deem appropriate.
Dude it gets so tiring. That’s why I don’t like being around so much. Because we go through the same cycles. People take the smallest unrelated thing to mean we’re not getting a direct.Over fcking mall tour lmao
Btw I think Purah killed the direct chances for today. Next week was more likely anyway.
If you have a playable demo for a new Smash game you make every demo kisosk available for Smash only. You invade the demo kiosk of companies around you that have switch units set up to put the Smash demo on them.Nintendo's con appearances in the Switch era have been so hit or miss, sometimes it's the expected "bunch of demos for upcoming releases" but then it's also just been one game (Smash in 2018, I can't think of a single other game from that year they demoed at a con prior to release), and then of course, the evergreen promotions, no new games, just the big titles they've released in the past several years.

yeah this is in part my bad
I assumed it was a bigger deal based on a few posts and didn't look further into what historically has been there
full steam ahead to September

The rest of summer is going to be fun
Yes absolutelyDoes Team June win if we get a Partner Showcase?
This. I don't get the obsession with "oh it's just a partner showcase". More games are more gamesI think the likelihood of a Partner Showcase is pretty high: Nintendo will sometimes make marketing deals with third parties that I believe require them to showcase the game in a presentation in June. It’s weird, but I think it tracks.
That’s fine! Third party games are still games.
per our poll noDoes Team June win if we get a Partner Showcase?
Like I always say: If it ain’t cosmic it ain’t worth itper our poll no
cosmically, I suppose?
Their big holiday game is, probably, a mix of “please keep buying Zelda” and “Pokémon DLC”I can't imagine they would twitter drop whatever their big holiday game is, and waiting until September to announce it is just too long.
maybe they'll mall drop the holiday gameI can't imagine they would twitter drop whatever their big holiday game is, and waiting until September to announce it is just too long.
definitely not happening until new hardware even if it's just a Melee remake or somethingThey should announce a new Smash Bros.
maybe they'll mall drop the holiday game
I think the Switch’s last year (the one we’re in) is just gonna be back-loaded with Mario Kart DLC, Pokémon DLC, a remastered GameCube game or three (we already got one so far this year) and that kinda thing. And Pikmin 4. Anything big is absolutely being held back for the new hardware.My glass half full mindset if Switch becomes a first party wasteland after Pikmin 4 is that means Nintendo should have a pretty stacked first year or two for the Switch 2 for 2024-2025.
