Not sure if this is too off topic but there seems to be a fair bit of not strictly Nintendo related posts here so here goes.

After 7 long years single, I am single no longer, thanks in part to the power of gaming.

A few months ago I met this wonderful girl online; we're both huge geeks and Switch gamers, and we bonded over our mutual love of games like Monster Hunter Rise, Bayonetta 2, and Astral Chain. It broke the ice by giving us a mutual hobby to talk about.

Our city was in an extended lockdown at the time so we couldn't meet at first and spent the first two months just chatting online, but yesterday we had our 4th date and I asked if she wanted to take things further and make us official. She said yes.

I am over the moon; she's kind, smart, funny, gorgeous, and completely accepting and understanding of the fact I am autistic and have OCD, which are often deal breakers for people. I feel so incredibly blessed and can't wait to see where this goes.

Phew, sorry for the diary entry, was just busting to share haha.

Awesome to have posts like this one! Congrats!

I don't expect one until after Legends releases. This way they're free to announce new products

That's entirely possible. I just thought they'd do one with a few smaller things and a big focus on Arceus as kind of a last big push before launch. But I'm also not really expecting much else to be coming out next year unless they surprise me with something
 
People, never read wikis about american series, I got casually spoiled the death of a character just looking the info of a related character D:
 
I think we’ll get another trailer for Arceus, as well as a constant drip of tweets during the lead up to launch, but I don’t think we’ll get a proper direct / presents for the game. Which is fine with me, I’ve seen more than enough already to sell me on it.

Is that a usual thing? I would save anything to the actual awards and let people like Geoff to hype the show.

I remember things like Sephiroth in Smash and Outer Worlds being teased ahead of time, and I think we're supposed to have an company attendance list by now.
 
Scarlett Nexus story telling:

"I'm gonna stop you former teammate"
"I don't know why you want to kill me. Can you we just talk about and maybe it will solve some of our problems?"
"No"
fight

After Fight
"Hey, I'm sorry I tried to kill you. But I need to talk to your advice on something. Can you meet me at the cafe?"
"It is unfortunate that we had to battle each other to near death but sure, I'll be there right away"

Imagine how short Japanese games will be if people resorted to solving their problems first before jumping into fighting.

Like actual official teases? Or people that knew talking about things and talked before they were supposed to?

Yeah. Both Nintendo and Obsidian announced stuff ahead of time IIRC. I think Half Life Alyx was announced for TGA as well, but that got pulled last second.

It would be a bit unusual (as far as I know?), but I don't imagine that any other Direct will come before Arceus, so I'll say sure, why not.

Aside from there nearly always being one of the anniversary, I don't think there's a whole lot of patterns for Pokémon Presents/Directs. That said, they definitely aren't afraid to drop random trailers.
 
I love the post game content of Diamond/Pearl (And by extension, BDSP), but I do not have the patience to catch roaming pokemon anymore. That is such a painstaking and nonsensical way to pad out game time.

Just adding legendaries is my least favorite thing about Pokemon postgames, and they keep doing it for some reason. What I want in a postgame is just... more game, like the main game. Give me more routes, more trainer battles, etc. This is why I love Gen 5, because the postgame is new routes with higher level pokemon trainers and a leadup to the elite four rematch and champion but much higher level than usual. Not to mention the world tour in B/W2 is also amazing.

Doesn't world premiere mean a new, previously unannounced game? Or can it just mean a new trailer, too?
Click to expand...
A never-before-seen trailer for an already-revealed game does qualify for World Premiere status (I'm pretty sure) but for Geoff to say they've been working on this for 2.5 years? That doesn't strike me as just a new trailer for a game we already know about.

My money's on something Chrono. I'll probably lose that money but that's what it's on

Could either be some big new game announcement trailer like that, or could be just a new trailer for a really really hyped game, like Elden Ring or BOTW2. Although I'm not sure Elden Ring really needs any more big trailers or hype at this point
 
I don’t think his tweet is BotW 2. Wording is just odd to fit Nintendo making a Game Awards trailer mid 2019 to keep working at it to have ready 2 years later. He talks about “sharing this work”. It feels like a brand new game that’s unknown.

Of course Nintendo knows one day they would show BotW 2 off at the Game Awards.

I enjoy the lore behind the gen 4 legendaries, and how you obtained them, so I'm fine with it. BW's post game was also really good. The last Pokemon game where I enjoyed the post game. Gen 6 just.....didn't have much, never played gen 7 and I won't even comment on gen 8.

I'm probably gonna look like an idiot in two weeks, but I'm betting he's talking about BOTW2. Geoff was the first to show off BOTW1 gameplay, so he'd want to repeat that. BOTW2 was revealed 2.5 years ago...
