I’m scared!!!!!!!!countdown until when direct is suppose to announce
I don't think there are European forums, unless you mean local like French, German etc. I have been in gaf, era and now fami cause I view them as global communities with way more people than I could ever find on a greek forum (which are mostly dead now anyway).I didn't know you were European (I kinda assume most people on sites like here are in North America since I thought Europe had their own forums). I'm now relistening to your old posts (in my head) wherein you were so sure of things with a catty British accent .
Plenty of peeps from Europe on here as well! Maybe slightly more Americans still, but it seems to be a pretty global communityI didn't know you were European (I kinda assume most people on sites like here are in North America since I thought Europe had their own forums).

Fossil Fighters for sure this time! Right? ...Right?In the interest of kickstarting discussion, what game / announcement are you most excited about for the seemingly happening Nintendo Direct this week. This is not necessarily the announcement you most believe will be there, but one you want to see most that you do think has a good enough shot of being there.
For me, it’s 100% Metroid Prime 4. It has been six years since it was announced and all we have really is some Facebook art. It’s time to see it and at least get some sense what it is about as it is the next “big” Switch game with Zelda out.
Thanks for running the thread compadre, and I'm glad to see excitement return. It'll be a noble day for terminally online nutjobs such as myself to see a new 2D Mario announced this week, thus altering the space-time continuum enough that we may well avoid the Dringest Timeline.Alright everyone, I've just updated the OP for what I expect to be the penultimate time. I'd like to close out my time as OP with some introspective remarks.
I've spent much of this year's hype cycles stewing in resentment of the regularity of the Nintendo news cycle and the precision with which some can now predict it. My mentality was one of chaos worship as I longed for the uncertain times for Nintendo news of years past. In addition to 2020, which I see as the height of these threads despite the lack of an actual Direct that year, Direct hype as we've come to understand it began in a very uncertain time for news about Nintendo Switch: the start of 2018. The first new year for Nintendo Switch brought with it great intrigue, as we didn't yet understand how the software composition of the platform would look in the years to come.
However, the past several days have brought me to the conclusion that my yearning for this feeling is misguided. What we all see embodied in @LukasManak22 is the maturation of Direct speculation: a robust commitment to facts, reason, and understanding of why Nintendo will do what and when. Yes, he knew exactly when the February Direct would be, as did many others, based on precedent alone. This week however will be a triumph for simple reasoning: there are no Nintendo games after Pikmin, and they need to have them announced by the financial briefing on Friday. It was cognizance of Nintendo that brought us here, not just a passive deference to patterns. I, for one, am very satisfied by how this story ends, though I wouldn't have said so mere weeks ago.
As I said before, Direct speculation has matured, both fundamentally and superficially. Our improved understanding of how Nintendo markets games represents a fundamental maturation of this endeavor, while the simple fact that we are now on-topic more than not represents immense superficial improvement. Indeed, the community finding a home has created a superior environment for both casual discussions and enthusiast ones like this. While the circumstances that led to its creation were obviously distinct from this, I have to thank @bellydrum for improving the activity of this community in an effort merely to save it.
As an aside, the third discussion topic that I previously alluded to felt unneeded and outright counterproductive as the thread gained momentum. While I consider the guided discussions great appetizers and their creation a success, this thread no longer has use for any guidance at all. Where we're going we don't need rails.
I hope that every last one of you gets something out of this week's Nintendo Direct. For the first time in a few years, I'm feeling excited myself.
Unreal Engine, huh?
This is a really interesting spot, and somebody else has already pointed out what I was thinking:Those are some cool screenshots, but is this also confirming Pikmin 4 was built in Unreal Engine? I see an Unreal Engine logo. EDIT: In another world, I'd have seen Derachi's post and just Yeah'd it.
One of those screenshots is giving me strong Chibi-Robo!! vibes.
Miyamoto did indeed say this! At the time, he seemed like he was talking about how EPD had familiarised itself with external game engines and he specifically mentioned Unreal 4. It's interesting that this is being used for Pikmin 4 when many EPD projects have moved to a shared internally built engine.Makes sense that it's Pikmin 4 because I recall Miyamoto was the one himself who said Nintendo had "mastered" the use of UE4 and/or Unity years back ( might've even been Switch launch).
This seems pretty reasonable. Wildcards for me are things like eShop only games (HAL pls?), a potential Pokemon spin-off, potential Zelda DLC, and perhaps a budget title like Rhythm Heaven.I'm leaning towards the rest of Nintendo's 2023 looking something like this atm
June - Everybody 1-2-Switch, MK8 DLC
July - Pikmin 4
August - Nothing
September - SMRPG Remake, Pokemon DLC
October - F-Zero GX HD, MK8 DLC
November - 2D Mario
December - Pokemon DLC
I think in this scenario the direct would open with 2D Mario and probably end with a Prime 4 reveal with a vague 2024 date, with Pikmin 4, SMRPG and Pokemon DLC getting dedicated sections in the middle to break up the headlines.
Ofc I'm still the most excited for Pikmin 4 no doubt about it, but I'll probably try and look away during the direct segment. I was already sold during the reveal screenshots back in SeptemberEither Prime 4 or 2D Mario for me. Extremely curious to see what they've come up with for the latter
oh man i desperately hope we get a new Rhythm Heaven, i definitely feel like theres another game or two that could fit into the schedule but all that was coming to mind was mario and i cant see 3 mario games in 3 or 4 months. more smaller stuff in the vein of boxboy or even intsys or gamefreak coming back with something like pushmo or harmoknight would be awesome too.This seems pretty reasonable. Wildcards for me are things like eShop only games (HAL pls?), a potential Pokemon spin-off, potential Zelda DLC, and perhaps a budget title like Rhythm Heaven.

Pokemon dlc is probably Oct-Nov for 1st, Jan-Feb for 2nd imo. I don't think they'd release it on December.I'm leaning towards the rest of Nintendo's 2023 looking something like this atm

Super Mario RPG Remake.In the interest of kickstarting discussion, what game / announcement are you most excited about for the seemingly happening Nintendo Direct this week. This is not necessarily the announcement you most believe will be there, but one you want to see most that you do think has a good enough shot of being there.

You say core, but everybody plays Mario, especially the 2D variety. And speaking for myself, I'm hungry for a new mainline SMB game after a decade gap since NSMBU.the main reason i think prime 4 is gonna be here is because i think nintendo will want to talk about it at gamescom, would be odd to come back after 4 years just to push 2D mario to the core gaming audience
Don’t do that to yourself.-Chrono Trigger HD-2D
-F-Zero GX
-2D Mario
Sounds like a pretty solid direct.
Pokémon Presents began in June 2020. Before that, they were Pokémon Directs, and Pokémon information would be mixed in to normal Directs.Pokémon Presents began in 2013. Pokémon has been in directs since then and no, not just NSO stuff. In March of 2020, sword and shield
Expansion pass information was in a Nintendo Direct Mini. Pokémon Snap was in the September 21’ direct. In fact, Pokémon is a regular in the September directs, and occasionally in the June ones (though typically based around E3), and often contains new news on the games.
You’re simply incorrect stating Pokémon news doesn’t happen in directs anymore. It’s actually quite common. They just don’t typically announce NEW Pokémon games in a direct anymore.
oh yeah same here, didnt mean to disparage 2D mario. i just dont think gamescom is a venue youd spend the time and money to attend to advertise itYou say core, but everybody plays Mario, especially the 2D variety. And speaking for myself, I'm hungry for a new mainline SMB game after a decade gap since NSMBU.
its definitely possible but wave 2 is officially slated for 2023 stillPokemon dlc is probably Oct-Nov for 1st, Jan-Feb for 2nd imo. I don't think they'd release it on December.
the main reason i think prime 4 is gonna be here is because i think nintendo will want to talk about it at gamescom, would be odd to come back after 4 years just to push 2D mario to the core gaming audience
thats fair, i just think nintendo is attending gamescom this year for a reason and i dont think that reason is 2d marioI'd imagine Nintendo would only showcase games releasing in 2023, in the Direct or at Gamescom, with maybe one exception for the Direct.
Expecting MP4 to be shown would, IMO, imply expectation that it would release no later than early/mid 2024. I think it's possible.
MP4 was initially announced for Switch in 2017. But since its reboot in 2019, even releasing for Switch is up the air. Considering the high-profile hiring they've been doing, I'd imagine they're shooting for a bigger scope. 4-5 years of development (+1 of polishing like TotK) may be a little short in that case.
I wouldn't expect MP4 to be shown before a hardware reveal.
This is the kind of suit Saul Goodman wears while defending cartel psychopaths in court
Don’t do that to yourself.
Isn’t the only person claiming that CT is real just Zippo? Or have I missed an update?
That Pikmin gonna get run over.I really should be asleep already. It's almost 2:30 AM and I work in 5 hours. Oh well, goodnight Fami.
Winter 2023 means Dec 20 - March 20its definitely possible but wave 2 is officially slated for 2023 still
Headlines start rolling:
Direct Narrator Voice: “Microsoft’s coming to…get Jiggy with it?!?!”
Phil Spencer: Hey, Nintendo fans. Phil Spencer from Xbox.
Four years ago, we worked with our incredible partners at Nintendo to put Banjo-Kazooie into Super Smash Brothers Ultimate as download content.
Last year, we also saw the return of the original Nintendo 64 release come back to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.
The iconic duo turns 25 years old next week, so we are pleased to share with you, on this Nintendo Direct, the next look into the newest entry in the Banjo franchise.”
I’ll stop there I can’t lmao BUT WHAT IF
Sucks to suckThat Pikmin gonna get run over.
Basically, some new insder info appeared on Twitter, talking about 2D Mario and some SNES Remakes, also Ubisoft leaked something, so we're now full steam aheadOkay what the heck happened after i left work yesterday? I was at page .. dunno 200?
That's what Koizumi will say during the skitWho the fuck is that guy?

agree, a 2D Mario with 2/3 more "lighter" game is more than enough to fill the back half of the year.It'll be really fun if, this week, we go from "no Mario games in 2023" to "3 Mario games in 5 months" (2D, RPG, Olympics).
Makes me wonder if RPG isn't till 2024, but there's talk of a Paper Mario remaster, too, and I'd expect there to be some distance between them.
That’s awesome! I would be over the moon — and, I mean - with the Smash reveal, it felt like my soul left my body. I remember thinking ‘ I…am awake, right?’ - my body transformed the shock into a feeling of disbelief and more. What a wild announcement for me personally haha, so I would drop over for a Banjo game announcement no doubt!
Considering that I have this in my room should tell you that my reaction would be astronomical.
Same, FE G is a 2024 game probably a the september direct with games like Prime 4I have serious doubts that IS would release the Holy War remake this "close" to Engage.
They might announce it, but this one feels like a January/Feb 2024 game to fill in some gaps.
Indeed. Showing only a 2D Mario would be disappointing.thats fair, i just think nintendo is attending gamescom this year for a reason and i dont think that reason is 2d mario
