StarTopicNintendo Direct Speculation |ST6| It’s Prime Time For Some More Wonderful Speculation! (Spoiler Crowd, Remain In This Thread Until The Direct Ends!)
ngl I'm pretty pessimistic for this Direct. The leaks didn't inspire much confidence, and with likely being the final Direct for Switch 1, I'm betting all the cool shit is being saved for the successor reveal in March
I actually think that in a way, a "bad" Direct is actually interesting because it sort of heavily implies that there will be a big blowout for their next console early next year with a lot of stuff revealed.
Here we are with the final update on THE LEGENDARY SPECULATOR CHALLENGE! I'm sad to report all three remaining challengers were taken out today as Nintendo announced the Direct at 7:00 AM for a show tomorrow September 14th at 7:00 AM. Pokemon shifting to yesterday was certainly a major factor I feel that no one weeks ago could have seen coming. Shoutout to shoptroll though for getting the closest here as they were only off by one hour in their announcement guess!
Here you are shoptroll!
You got Hinano Miyako as your new avatar from now until a month after the Direct airs! Rusty Venture is a mad scientist so I picked Magia Record’s scientist magical girl for your avatar. She fights Witches using the vials of chemicals she carries with her. Hinano is a veteran magical girl and is one of the side characters who helps rally together others when the Wings of the Magius decide to truly invade Kamihama. You too are certainly a veteran of these boards
Here are your choices of titles:

Here you are VegiHam!
You got Tsukasa Amane as your new avatar from now until two weeks after the Direct airs! I don’t know if you saw, but you and Marce-Chan both had Link avatars in this challenge so at that point I knew I had to pick the Amane Twins for you both! Like her sister Tsukuyo, Tsukasa also is a White Feather in the Wings of the Magius and wields a flute in battle. I drew another connection to Link there as he plays a different kind of flute in Phantom Hourglass. Tsukasa is a bit more fun and easy-going compared to her sister, so it made sense to give you Tsukasa as someone running with the Fun Tier.
Since you did pick the Fun Tier for the challenge, you do not have to change your title, but here are some options if you wanted one anyway

Here you are Xorhan!
You got Konoha Shizumi as your new avatar from now until a month after the Direct airs! I’m unfamiliar with the character in your avatar so I wasn’t sure at first which character to pick. Your prediction dates were my favorite at the start of the challenge, so I decided to give you one of my favorite characters, Konoha. While she doesn’t have much of a role in the main story aside from participating in the final battle, Konoha was a staple character in my party for much of the game. I really dug both her fighting style that centered around her two sided scythe that has a butterfly design on both ends and her super powerful and spectacular Magia attack.
Here are your choices of titles:

I want to thank again all 13 challengers who competed in THE LEGENDARY SPECULATOR CHALLENGE! While none of you may have gone down in Fami history as Legendary Speculators, your courage to jump into a mystery avatar and title bet for bragging rights really helped make an already awesome and wild speculation season on Famiboards even better!
I also want to give shoutouts to chocolate_supra, meatbag, Raccoon, Djehuty, soundchaser, and Tangerine_Cookie for joining in on the magical girl fun
Let's keep the awesome times going Fami through tomorrow's Direct
With Nate also confirming a SoP for tomorrow, it’s hard to not get excited. Even if both are underwhelming, all of the announcements on one day should be a lot of fun regardless.
Wasn't the June Direct fairly early, too? I remember watching that one while I drank coffee and my daughter took her first steps. I wouldn't call that Direct lowkey.

There's only been two morning Generals recently, and I'd argue they were both pretty highkey all things considered. Fire Emblem Engage, Pikmin 4, Octopath Traveler 2, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Tears of the Kingdom title and release date, Super Mario RPG, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Pikmin ports, WarioWare, list goes on.
We hope you've enjoyed everything that's been shown. This will be our last segment for today. We know fans have been waiting a long time for this, so please take a look...
Jolyne, Trish, and Lucy carry. That might be my JOJO Bias, but still I love how Resilient and (mostly) respectful the Women in JOJO tend to be overall. Erina is a Legend, Lisa Lisa, while underutilized, was still awesome, and has some Untranslated Stories thanks to JOJO Magazine. Aya is one of my Favorite Characters Ever, stealing the Spotlight from anyone else for the One Arc she was actually important to, Trish was awesome and went through a Great Arc, Part 6 was full of fun Women, Lucy was arguably more of a Main Character than Gyro at points, and Yasuho was kind and was key to helping Gappy on his Journey. Overall I really like how Araki writes Women. Wish he would write more though.
I'm only listening to the first party portion of Nate's video. Some things of note, though I suggest watching it yourself:
Genealogy is just a matter of when Nintendo wants to announce it
Nate has only heard about a GX remaster, not any sort of F-Zero 99
Both he and MVG seemed skeptical about Prime being here in any capacity, whether that be Prime 2 remaster or 4. Nate seemed to think that would make sense at a later time, and that Genealogy would be a more logical announcement for a Direct around Tokyo Game Show. Both thought that GX was more likely as the Gamecube remaster for this direct than Prime 2.

He said the game "may be complete." Though he's wrong, as Retro just posted an ad on Linkedin for Prime 4 specifically two days ago. He did say 2024 is a lock for Prime 4 though.
