Alright, let's go!

Crazy we live in a world where someone putting Another Code on their bingo board is a "safe" pick.
 
A part of me is hoping MP4 doesn't show up. Then the chances of it being a cross-gen release go up significantly. We've waited this long. Why not experience it on what could be the least graphical gap of Nintendo to Sony/Microsoft console since the gamecube (through the magic of DLSS).

Speaking of DLSS, I invested in Nvidia the moment that was announced knowing Nintendo would use it eventually. (Expected Switch 3 to have it tho. Not 2). What a great decision that was.

Honestly, I thought Pyoro had disappeared to give mystery to the Direct. But the fact that he didn't say anything one hour before the start of the direct, makes me believe that he really got caught lol

One prediction that I think is pretty unlikely is Xenoblade X Definitive Edition, think it's too early at this stage to see that, but if it did get announced, it better have this song playing!!!!!!

 
The only super interesting thing to me if Prime 4 is cross-gen is whether or not the Switch 1 version is 30 FPS.

Increasing the framerate, LODs, and resolution are the easiest things to do in cross-gen, so making the Switch 1 version 30 FPS may allow the Switch 2 version to look more impressive (by pushing the visuals further)
 
So what was your most disappointed Direct memory? (to complete the doompost - hype pipeline)

Mine was definitely Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival. I had been waiting desperately for Animal Crossing Wii U, the Mario Kart 8 DLC with the AC course looked so good, we heard rumours of Animal Crossing Amiibo, and it seemed like the magic was about to happen.... They're placing an Isabelle amiibo down on the Wii U for this trailer, it's happening!-

Ah.
 
So many creatures suffer beneath the blight upon the land, and we Fami are no exception. But for all of our pain, we can at least believe in the promise of the Process; unlike the apparitions that have begun to appear, entities that feel neither hope nor solace. We call these doomed souls The Dringed - taking ghostly Fami forms, they know no reason beyond the instinctive urge to protect our lands. They will likely exist in limbo forever. We have come to believe that a time may never come when we can once again open the door and banish the darkness we've contained. Even so, our vigilance will forever remain. We believe that on some far-off day, a savior will come and continue what we have begun. For that savior, we will leave our ancient patterns and speculation - the soul who can gather them will be the Process One, the only being who can reverse the evil that grows here.

Thing is, after Metroid Prime Remastered I am expecting the base-Switch version to already b 60fps.
Artifically locking the framerate at a lowerrate without any adventages would be extremely scummy.

Not sure if I should order one right now, or just grab one from the freezer.
 
It's time, Fami. It's time to reach out and touch The Process.

Wherever you might find yourself, know that The Process is right there with you, for the The Process is everywhere; it is ever knowing and ever loving. If you're ready to believe, if you're ready to change your life for the better, then take The Process inside of you. Accept it's wonder and majesty. Let it enrich your life in the ways only it can. Let it take you to the pinnacles of Action, Exploration, and Dread.

Nothing beats Federation Force.

I’d take Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival 2 over nothing at this stage :(. Gonna be a long wait for the next mainline AC and I’m desperate for more - even a GameCube port or something!

I swear people were even saying that after TotK trailer 3.

“Sky islands, vehicle crafting, new underground area, new story and characters, time reversal etc etc etc but what’s the HOOK? They are really holding their cards close to their chest, huh…”
Click to expand...
Looking back at those trailers, it's actually surprising how much they did show. Two whole-ass bosses for instance!

Personally I empathise with folks not being sure what the main hook is. There's a lot of disparate mechanics and ideas vying for attention in TotK.

They were and they werent imo. I.e. the overall exploration is fun but the depths and sky feel a bit empty. At 180 hours I feel I have done enough lol

You managed to get a whole lot more hours out of it than I have 😬. Revisiting the Hyrule I'd already revisited a million times in BotW, but now with frustrating and ugly looking Ultrahand contraptions just wasn't my thing. Oh well.

MARIO WONDER DEMO OR BUST

I'm talking about pursuing a fidelity+scope combination that leads to 30 FPS on Switch 1 as that can be easier to bump up for Switch 2. Not an artificial limiting.
