I just saw the TGA nominations. Somehow they didn’t nominate all 5 FF Pixel Remasters for best OST. Anyone know what’s up with that?

The pokemania has its grips in me now. I can do naught now but wait in painful anticipation 'til Friday, when at last I shall be able to play my copy of Brilliant Diamond.

I've heard so many mixed things with this one, so I'm waiting for reviews before I pick it up

So outside of confirmed upcoming games this would be the upcoming Nintendo related stuff right?

Very likely Indie World
Likely TGA announcement/trailer
Possible NSO games

Anything else?

Yeah this should be it for the rest of the year

Then the Direct in January (either in the first 31 days of January or the next 27, most likely. I can't see them doing a January 59-90th Direct for next year, seems too late)

My gut tells me they’ll wait until Arceus is out before the next Direct, so probably January 45th-ish. Maybe there’ll even be another Pokémon Presents/Direct in January leading up to Arceus with the final big trailer and some other random Pokémon info

Oh yeah a Pokemon Direct seems pretty likely for either December or January, I feel like they'll do one more for Arceus
 
Looking at the calendar for next year, I JUST realized for the first time that Elden Ring and Triangle Strategy are releasing one week apart. I hope that doesn’t hurt it too much, although I guess they’re not on the same systems

The key to watching The Game Awards is not actually watch it. You have it on in background while you play Pokemon or watch TV or whatever. You listen for words or sounds that might be related to something you're interested like "World Premier" , "Nintendo", or the Switch snap. If it is something that's interesting, you watch the trailer and then return to what you were doing before. Rinse and repeat.

Yep that's the strat. Just shoot the shit with some buddies or have a Switch/other console handy. Actually watching the awards actively is impossible, too much fluff.
 
I just want peace of mind and less stress/more time already so that I can finally play a vidya game again, Christ!
If things go on like this, I might not be able to play anything for the rest of the year. ;-(
 
Agreed with a lot of the overnight TGA chat. The show should either be a winter marketing event or a 'prestigious' awards ceremony; it can't be both.

That being said, if it's the venue for some fun Switch announcements this year, I'll be pleased. It might be time to kick off a long marketing cycle for Zelda coming late next year (pls). It would be a good fit for a Metroid Prime HD reveal, but personally I think Nintendo will wait until February or June for that. In the former setting, they can control the messaging by saying "we're hard at work on Prime 4, plz see this for now", in the latter they can show Prime HD and then Prime 4 with a 2023 date. Resident Evil Outrage also seems like a really good fit for TGA.

I'm not sure what else I'd want to see when it comes to new Switch announcements and which would logically make sense for TGA. Saying that, the 2019 announcement of Bravely Default 2 was right up my street and not the kind of thing I'd expect at TGA.

I know CC was in the leak, but jumping over Xenogears feels like a choice. Or is it?
Click to expand...
Xenogears would require a lot more work than Chrono Cross, which has always been in a much more "presentable" state so to speak (despite also having a rushed second half). Remastering Cross is the safest choice.

Of course the reason could be different but at the very least I don't think it's complete lack of interest considering all the Xenogears cameos and merch Square has been making these last few years.

Hi there Fami! I went so out of the loop when Dread was released and I tried to catch up with the thread little by little.

Just a random question that crossed my mind a couple of days ago: we know for a fact that Gameboy is coming to NSO, and there were quite a lot of (edit: informed) speculation that it will go to the base tier, not to the Expansion Pack. If that is the case (and i don't think that is farfetched as they have to continue to offer value to that part of their users), it'd feel like an comparative grievance to the premium tier - if Nintendo offers more things to the cheap subscription and nothing new to the premium one, well, that doesn't seem good. I think that my point is ultimately this: IF Gameboy NSO goes to the base tier, can we expect to get added side by side GBA to the Expansion Pack?

Could you say where the informed speculation has come from? I haven't seen anything suggesting GameBoy is coming to NSO's basic tier - I saw all the stuff about it coming to the service, sure, but nothing since the premium tier launched to suggest GB would be going to the basic tier. Perhaps I've simply missed that.

You do bring up an important point, though. Personally my assumption was the basic subscription will remain as it is because Nintendo's goal will be to upsell people over to the more expensive offering. I'd expect continued NES and SNES titles on the basic subscription, as well as any new '99' titles being available there. But anything else - whether it's GB on NSO, further paid expansions for first-party games, or a new type of NSO game entirely - I would expect to go to the premium subscription. Keep in mind that the offering on the basic tier hasn't really changed at all in the last couple of years - the first 12 months from September 2018 to September 2019 set the standard for the base sub: NES, Tetris 99, SNES. We know other '99' games come to that sub, but nothing in the time since suggested further retro systems would be added to it. Now that the expansion pack exists and has additional consoles as a major selling point, that's where I expect GB to go.

I'd swear I've heard it a couple of times (Nate, I think?) but I can totally be wrong on that as I cannot find it right now, so I'm gonna edit in case I'm misremembering!

Oh, I don't think it's anything you necessarily need to edit out - I say stuff all the time based on memory which may or may not actually be accurate. Perhaps someone else will be able to help clarify! I've missed Nate's last few podcasts so I'm not up to date.

I have to say, Dread is a GOTY tier game (voted for it on the TGA website), but the standard joycon analog sticks do not make aiming easy.

Trying to aim missiles at one of the bosses mouth which happens to be a moving target is damn tricky. Or maybe I've just got old and slow...
 
NSO doesn't need Game Boy. It needs an improvement to the online play. What happened to the talk of the new system they were trying out?

Sort that out and NSO is good value. Game Boy can then do into the Expansion Pack.

And it didn't do any good?

I don't know as I never played Smash, which seems to be the game that everyone complains about being laggy and stuff.

I think people overhyped all that. It was a change in services, not promised to give better online performance. Smash's problems are more on the game's net code anyway

The new system is much better than the old one. Less connection errors/smoother experience overall. The problem is most Switch owners are on Wi-Fi and the Wi-Fi chip is bad. Some games like Smash Bros just aren’t coded well (1v1 is much better than at launch).

As far as I know, the wifi chip is fine, the system suffered from interference with the tablet body. The OLED changed the antenna design to be better

i hate to be a "git gud"guy, but in this instance it applies. ive beaten the whole game in handheld mode and the joycons perform just fine.
