This might be a subpar direct for me. Third party galore and I don’t care for a single rumored third party game , new F-Zero maybe? Meh. Metroid Prime 4 is 2025 so we may not see it
They've been preparing one hell of a BBQ!
there is also a thread for people who don't want spoilers. don't know what this thread is for then, or why there's three ongoing threads at the same time.
I thought whenever a Direct is announced the speculation thread closes and the official event thread opens. This is the event thread, so it makes sense, but I dunno why the others aren't closed.
The notion of spoilers for some videogame ads is unconventional to say the least, so if that's something that bothers you, you should probably limit yourself to the no spoiler thread.
Nate just casually dropping this, LOL
Me staring Capcom down at every single video game event and presentation until this goddamn game is announced:You have my sword. And my sadness if Capcom lets us down.
We can go through this song and dance again come TGS

Yeah, that would be as outta left field as you can get.New Star Tropics? That’s… optimistic lol
Preparing to have my heart broken when they don't announce a new 2d Zelda game with a stupidly gargantuan world map and a funny new gimmick.
(Okay seriously though if they so much as drop a Flame Emitter Amiibo I'd still be happy with it)
I love how he throws Metal Slug Attack there because of Epic Store database leak when you can easily search up that the game been offline since Jan 2023. Epic Store has an android app that why it was included in the store.Nate Predictions TLDR:

One of the worst Direct in Switch era, following there predictions. And if Nintendo intends to launch Switch 2 with Just cross gen Metroid and nothing more, I'll gladly skip the Launch. Let's wait and seeThis might be a subpar direct for me. Third party galore and I don’t care for a single rumored third party game , new F-Zero maybe? Meh. Metroid Prime 4 is 2025 so we may not see it. Kirby port meh.
Sonic Adventure 1 Dreamcast is better (the Gamecube version was a worse remake that added a lot of bugs and also looked worse), but Adventure 2 is the same version.Eww @ Dreamcast Adventure games, tho I’ve read those are better than the GCN/PS2 versiona
I’ll have whatever they’re smoking/drinking/injectingand a new StarTropics game
SKIES OF ARCADIA?!!

With exception of the FZero GX remake, this one seems the most realMight as well throw my Bingo Card in...
I'd expect it, though. It'd also fit my cross-gen predictions.I really hope Nate is wrong about Prime 4 being 2025 lol
