StarTopic Nintendo Direct Speculation |ST6| It’s Prime Time For Some More Wonderful Speculation! (Spoiler Crowd, Remain In This Thread Until The Direct Ends!)

HAL's smol side project is a new picross 3D wbk

 

[Raccoon]

I have a feeling they are gonna open with Side Order, would be quite nice opposite to their other openers which were not that good as of late. Maybe it would be the middle spotlight thing but I don't think they will put Side Order just into headlines.

I don't think Side Order will be there today but if it is it'd be an absolutely killer opener

They have to show side order, its been in development for over a year now!

Any idea when it should release based on datamining? Have been out of Splatoon loop for a while.

 

[mazi]

third party wise, i hope we get another castlevania collection shadow drop, this time for the DS games

 

[Amadeus]

Since Furukawa isn't a game developer it's more difficult for him to have the charm of Koizumi, Miyamoto, Nogami or Takahashi.

 

[Irene]

Watch them troll us with Side Order as it starts off with showing environments only and everyone thinks it’ll be the Switch-exclusive Nier 3.

Spoiler

Plox.

it's ostensibly not coming until March 1, and that seems too far off to me. it'd still classify as this winter though, and this Direct will likely need to be padded...

maybe side order is back on the menu

As of the update at the start of the month it seems to be internally targetting Season 7 (starting March 2024). At launch it was Season 5 and last season it was Season 6; keeps getting shifted back.

Konami, listen to this.

It's now an official order.

3 hours until a lot of complaining!

iirc gear believed to be related to it got pushed out to season 7 (March 1)

edit: oh uh thank you mondo

[Dark Cloud]

Splatoon 3 could still be here if not in a mini direct in a January

 

[SeaBusCBus]

How are the vibes this morning?

Thanks. It looks like it's gonna be much bigger than I thought + am sure that quite a few people from Splatoon 3 dev team are working on different projects too.

If you don't see or feel them by now, please consult your doctor of choice.

;D

 

[Dark Cloud]

The vibes are there’s. That’s something…

 

[qwerp]

How are the vibes this morning?

trying to tame my expectations, but it getting hard

 

[Raccoon]

How are the vibes this morning?

calm imo

there's a comfortable acceptance in waiting for the last switch direct. the only huge thing we might see is prime 4, and the prime 4 people have waited for ages. plus, if they don't get it they might get to first see it on new hardware, so it's win-win. everybody is just relaxed and curious to see what form such a quiet direct takes

 

[famicorpse]

How are the vibes this morning?

Hoping for some small surprises but not hyping myself up at all.

 

[LukasManak22]

the last Switch Direct will hit hard

 

[Dark Cloud]

Let’s get the direct off to a good start. No Overwatch 2 or Pokémon dlc type of start

 

[mazi]

idk i don't see how anyone can be disappointed. how can you expect massive megatons in a console's 7th year on the market knowing the successor is coming next year? if you're disappointed you have yourself to blame.

 

[LukasManak22]

Imagine if they realized they would have so embarassing opener that they would just open with Takahashi/Koizumi as in early Switch era Directs.

 

[Raccoon]

STRONG agree

the only reason I was disappointed by June is that I had coped myself into seeing some sweet sweet hardware

 

[zumaddy]

Koizumi: Please, take a look at this. (does a sick backflip)

Well? What did you think?

lmfao this would kill me

school assembly type nintendo direct

 

[Dark Cloud]

Pyoro sacrificed himself so Mario vs DK can live

 

[MisterSpo]

What is it with EPD 5 and long gaps between their game's release and the paid expansion

 

[Irene]

Vibes are filling up more pages than the decimals of Pi.

 

[LukasManak22]

Nothing will go as hard as the last 3DS Direct when there was a whole story with Bill eating donuts and then going to Wuhu Island. Go watch it, now. The last frame with levitating 3DS is the peak Nintendo. How the fuck they even come up with this shit.

Well, people asking for Metroid Prime 4 or Fire Emblem Holy War remake aren't really asking for Megatons ... in my opinion at least.

I think, given those two examples either have been in dev long enough for them to be playable in some sort or being teased by credible people for more than 2 years now ... it's sensible if you ask for those.

If we're talking about other stuff, ignore this. ^^

STRONG agree

Hope you didn't cope yourself again this time.

 

[Shareholder Chad]

Pyoro sacrificed himself so Mario vs DK can live

Did he really get aced or is that a guess based on inactivity?

 

[lemonfresh]

Good morning , hope we are trusting the process today

 

[Raccoon]

Hope you didn't cope yourself again this time.

for hardware? not a chance lmao

 

[indospot]

Koizumi: Please, take a look at this. (does a sick backflip)

Well? What did you think?

Now I know what I want Furukawa to do when makes a Direct appearance.

 

[Raccoon]

christ I just remembered that it'll probably open with fire emblem again

 

[Dark Cloud]

It’s a guess

They could have someone farting on-screen for a full 40 minutes and I'd be satisfied. I basically got everything out of the Switch that I wanted besides a brand new 2D Zelda but I'm counting on that never happening.

 

[Bonejack]

Good.

Once you understand that Directs will never have a new console announcement (as in, a whole new system, not just some OLED model or similar), you've seen the light.

 

[space_dragon]

Unfortunately I won't be able to hype with you all during the Direct (work and all that). Despite my concerns, I will trust The Process for Prime 4. Good day. And good Direct.

 

[LukasManak22]

The best Direct opener in the Switch era is probably the Maker 2. Nothing else comes even close to that.

 

[indospot]

If the Switch successor is officially mentioned this year I will change my avatar and signature to absolutely anything anyone wants (within the community rules, of course)

I remain steadfast with this one. Not only will it not be at this Direct, it won't be mentioned this year at all.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Good morning , hope we are trusting the process today

Is trusting the process like GLaDOS telling me she has cake?

 

[Yavga]

I'm excited for the direct this time because I have absolutely no idea or expectations, I can't be there with you guys so I will have to avoid hearing anything in advance, then watch the Direct when I am home and do a lot of catching up here to see how the post vibes are.

 

[Bonejack]

Or Peach.

September 2019 Direct opening with Overwatch

 

[ZaWams]

They can’t show off much more of Detective Pikachu can they? I’m going to play it I just don’t want to constantly be reminded how bad it looks ahead of time

 

[Irene]

Good morning , hope we are trusting the process today

The Process is Primed and Echoed. Four times.
