StarTopic Nintendo Direct Speculation |ST2| Fami's Summer Gameguess

[MissingNo.]

Tbh, I would be absolutely, 100% fine if they did not show shit for BotW2 before it releases. What they have shown so far is enough for me, and for all I care they can just shadow-drop it on a random Friday next Spring. I will be there anyway.

Prime 4 is a completely unknown quantity, has been announced for five years at this point with nothing to show for, and I just want to get at least a glimpse of what it looks like, god fucking damn it.

Grubb is live streaming right now. Can't wait for someone to misquote him and send this thread into a tailspin.

"Metroid... [...] ... is cancelled."

 

[CherryGodzilla]

To be honest with you, am just buying video games and never opening them. These cases are just sitting there and collecting dust, I just want Nintendo to make profit from me, nothing else.

Me who hasn’t touched Xenoblade Chronicles DE on my shelf

You can choose a Direct with one of the following two options:

1. Metroid Prime HD reveal for October 2022 / Metroid Prime 4 teaser trailer for 2023; nothing Zelda is shown
2. Wind Waker HD reveal for September 2022 / BOTW 2 full trailer w/ title drop for Spring 2023; nothing Metroid is shown

Which do you choose?

2. All day. Every day

[tomassino99]

[sailormoon]

[Lintendo]

So glad I‘ve my summer holidays (summer vacations) next week, so whenever the Direct is going to be, I can enjoy it

There's no better time to start one of the best games on Switch then right now.

 

[SirShorse]

If Nintendo does ANYTHING else than a General Direct, I am DONE with Nintendo! I'm sick of it! Who do they think they are? I WILL BREAK MY SWITCH IF THERE'S NO DIRECT NEXT WEEK! I WILL DO IT!!

Which do you choose?

number 1. We haven’t seen a thing for Metroid Prime 4. We haven’t seen a 3D Metroid in over a decade. I’ve been so ready. BotW is my favorite game of all time so I’m obviously super hyped for BotW 2. It has a spring release date and we’ve at least seen some of it.

Zelda is my most favourite gaming franchise ever, and even though I've been campaigning for WWHD and TPHD to be brought over, I'd still choose option 1. Basically for the same reasons as you, Metroid Prime 4 is so shrouded in mystery and I'm really excited to finally see 3D Metroid again.

Easily #1, we’ve seen BOTW2 twice (and closed out the past 2 E3 Directs), all the while not seeing anything related to MP4 since June 2017 (5 years ago), along with a remaster of a game that’s far more interesting than the other remaster option

It’s time. So many people here have not see 3D Metroid greatness. Its been 14 years!

Probably disagreed with him on something

 

[TokyoGameLife]

Nintendo will announce the first ever Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Dinky Little Nano Mini Direct soon. Don’t blink or you’ll miss it though.

Which do you choose?

#2 for sure, but add in Twilight Princess HD

Also I got a half day off on the 29th so its direct hype time the moment I get home in the afternoon.

The Direct is under your chairs! It's been there the whole time.

The direct is playing hide n seek

2. Wind Waker HD reveal for September 2022 / BOTW 2 full trailer w/ title drop for Spring 2023; nothing Metroid is shown

Which do you choose?

2 easily. Metroid Prime HD would be better than Wind Waker HD (even if I prefer Wind Waker to Metroid Prime) but a Metroid Prime 4 teaser would do very little for me. Make it a full Metroid Prime 4 reveal and I'd definitely take 1 but as it is now 2 is the easy choice.

Also, funnily enough, we've actually gotten a Metroid game more recently than any kind of Zelda.

 

[SpringwoodSlasher]

I wish we had our own SamusHunter, any volunteers?

This is weird but I would actually love to try my hand at being a fake insider on Twitter. But I don’t want to have someone dox me.

I imagine it would be like being a heel in WWE.

Which do you choose?

I care about Metroid more, but I feel picking two is the better bet only because I’m not confident Wind Waker is this year otherwise and they could then just reveal the completed Metroid Prime HD and Prime 4 closer to their releases.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I’m not picking Wind Waker over Metroid Prime.

 

[Raccoon]

I would pick Wind Waker tbh

 

[HockeyBird]

I'm picking both. Fuck the rules!

Which do you choose?

Obviously 1.

Dragoncaine pls

 

[Stupid Sexy Flanders]

We have 2 more stops on our hype train. The announcement and watching the Direct.

 

[xghost777]

I definitely feel both Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD will come to Switch eventually, I’m just not confident if it will be either this year or next. They seem like perfect games to release during the cross gen period of Switch and Switch 2 in 2024.

Something Zelda will probably come out this year, I’m leaning toward multiplayer Zelda, but I’m not confident in it.

Metroid. Zelda already has a release window and they’ve shown it more than once. All we’ve seen from prime 4 is the number 4.

 

[CloudLuma]

I miss the general direct hype train. Me and my cousins have dinner all together, we eat lots of bacon (don't ask me why, we just love having pre-Direct english breakfasts-dinners), we make predictions bingo cards, and we scream to the TV when we see Zelda or Metroid get shown

 

[xghost777]

I'm picking both. Fuck the rules!

Actually this is the real answer.

All answers are valid as long as you listen to your heart.

 

[Raccoon]

you guys would seriously prefer another teaser for a game somewhere in the future over gameplay and a title for the zelda game that was supposed to be out this year?

You say “another” as if we’ve even gotten a teaser for MP4 at all, it was literally a video of a logo


That said, I can’t choose. I’m leaning Metroid but I’d be hype as hell for either, so why does it even matter at that point lol

 

[sanstea]

The farther away a game is, the less I need to see of it.

 

[poop]

Holy shit we just successfully pulled off a Driver Combo on kotaku for millions of damage

I mean another teaser for a game sometime in the future, not metroid specifically

we get too many teasers

 

[Blue Monty]

Other than Prime 4 , what other Nintendo game we have in a 'teaser only' status?

Ohhh I see, my bad for misinterpreting

 

[HeyItsPulse]

I don't know why anyone would be opposed to a partner showcase. That series of events gave us stuff like SMT 3/5, WWE 2K Battlegrounds, and Monster Hunter Rise/Stories 2.

 

[Raccoon]

Ohhh I see, my bad for misinterpreting

nah I was too vague

I should have said "another teaser for another game..."

Other than Prime 4 , what other Nintendo game we have in a 'teaser only' status?

currently we are blessed to only have metroid, but before last e3 we had zelda, and before that we had animal crossing and smash bros

I'd rather see zelda, which was supposed to be out this year, over metroid, which was literally rebooted not that long ago

Coming from Goht's mouth, that has to be a testament to the power of Metroid!

Nintendo reads famiboards

Nintendo “Delay the Direct by a week”

Employee “What will that do?”

Nintendo “People will break their Switches and have to purchase another one after the amazing Direct we put together”

Employee “F-ing Genius!!!”
