they're aligned with (often unrelated) games for retail purposes! they come out the same day as splatoon 3I don't think so, but IIRC didn't there used to be some kind of Amiibo release date/Direct correlation theory? It's been a while so my memory is foggy.

Ah, that was it! Thanks. False alarm, not Direct related but game release date related. Never mind then.they're aligned with (often unrelated) games for retail purposes! they come out the same day as splatoon 3

we're still talking about it but personally i think renaming this to ST3 and having it run at least until the expected september direct is a good idea.I'm not in the loop on the decisions being made, but if they decide to keep this thread going I'd definitely support a title change to ST3 or ST Summer 2022 or whatever for the sake of the new ST index

I thought playing games here was illegal.What happened? You are all playing Xenoblade or what?

I am one of the few people who aren't. But I am playing Castlevania which means I am actually playing Games.What happened? You are all playing Xenoblade or what?

So I am one of the betrayers.
I am playing Aria of Sorrow. It is my first Castlevania game... and I really enjoy it.You get half a boo for being a betrayer, but half a yeah for playing Castlevania, aka one of the best game series in the world.
joke’s on you, xenoblade isn’t a gameI thought playing games here was illegal.
I think people are just playing Xenoblade. So not much activity in the thread.Moment on this thread is kinda waning. Are people losing hype? Xenoblade just dropped, and the next big game isn't until September, perhaps Nintendo will drop some more goodies until then.
Then again, pokemon pre-orders are starting soon, so we're likely due for a trailer.
Agreed; the calendar feels barren since I'm not picking up anything that interests me until Bayonetta 3 at the earliestI think people are just playing Xenoblade. So not much activity in the thread.
We need games for the non-weebs among us.
Until the Ukraine situation is resolved I wouldn't expect any news for either of these based on what's been officially said and rumored.Potential Advance Wars Rescheduling

Mario Kart DLC in August, Splatoon is in September, Bayonetta 3 in October. What more does Fami need?Nintendo needs to get more serious about non-JRPGs. I can see my fami starving, looking all malnourished and shit.
Good first choice because that's the best one of the GBA games. Bad first choice because that's the best of the GBA games.I am playing Aria of Sorrow. It is my first Castlevania game... and I really enjoy it.

You all are killing me, haha! I'd love nothing more than both of those, haha! You know that though @The Giant with Ebisumaru as your avatar, haha! Call it into being!holy shit I wish
Great recap, and I want all of them, haha! It'd sure be nice for August to have a few surprises, but even having a Splatoon 3 showcase and Indie World would be great. It would at least seem like more than July, haha! Though, like you mentioned, we did have flutes, and ought to be thankful for that, haha!I thought it’d be fun to recap the big July announcements and make a list of things to watch for in August and beyond.
In July we had:
A new Kirby game announced!
Bayonetta 3 trailer and release date!
Mario Kart Wave 2 Announcement!
Xenoblade 3 and Live A Live released!
Flutes!
Switch Sports Summer Update Featuring New Volleyball Moves!
Mario Strikers Free Update 1
New SNES / NES / N64 / Genesis NSO games!
In August we should be on the lookout for:
New Pokemon Trailer!
Splatoon 3 Direct!
Indie World!
Maybe A General Direct!
New Kirby Game Date
Potential Advance Wars Rescheduling
Interesting Leaks / Rumors:
Metroid Prime HD
New Fire Emblem
Everybody 1 - 2 Switch
New Goldeneye
Drake Switch
F-Zero Something

NoA about as comprehensible as your average Xenoblade narrative.

What if there is no general direct this year? A small partner Direct in September and then a general direct in March showcasing the new Zelda game and Switch hardware for an august launch?
That post can't stop me because I can't readJust read it backwards =)
March I feel is the absolute latest they wait to show a game with a "Spring 2023" release window. Unless I missed a date, my personal bet would be February since that's been the most common month in recent years for General/Mini non-specific game directs usually focusing on upcoming games for the first half of the year:a general direct in March showcasing the new Zelda game
