Not gonna @ her over it, but I don’t think Emily has placed her backing behind it still. The day that happens is when I truly get excited for it.
Switchforce is a living meme tbh.This soyboy is literally a walking "my wifes boyfriend bought me a nintendo switch so I started a youtube channel" /pol/ shitpost that somehow managed to materialize into reality.
I refuse to believe that Switchforce is anything but an overly ellaborate piece of performance art because the alternative is far too depressing to humor.
Hey, not sure you're aware, but just as a heads-up, terms like "soyboy" and "lolcow" are generally used as pejoratives that hold some particularly bad connotations. Not saying you're explicitly using them as such, but just thought it'd be worth it to let you know, regardless.You're not missing much.He's a nintendo "news" channel who mostly puts out fanboy wishlists,obviously fake "leaks",and some of the worst "analysis" I've ever seen all while Being second only to literal lolcows in terms of lack of charisma.
Like,I don't like RGT85 either but he is in general far more tolerable than switchforce even on his worst days.
I very much doubt this even if the Switch successor is 100% backwards compatible. Cross gen has proven to be too lucrative for the industry for Nintendo to just cut off their 120+ million selling console cold turkey. While there are obviously some games being worked on now for the Switch successor only, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of Nintendo's big 2024 games come out on both the old Switch and new Switch.Other than the big games already announced, that's what you're going to get from now on on Switch: remasters, ports, and iterative sequels.
Pretty much every big new game and sequel is being made for the next console.
I wonder how people would react if the new DK played like Crash
That’s RGT for you. The dude always have the worst takes like « Dread won’t sell ».
I just want Zippo to be right because of Golden Sun.It would be dishonest and irresponsible if I backed a rumor that I don't have sources for. My sources aren't aware of every project that Nintendo makes. I can easily believe that a Donkey Kong game is coming, but I just don't want to slap my name on every rumor that gets reported. Does that make sense?
For what it's worth, Zippo has recently said stuff that makes me believe he might have good sources. I won't vouch for everything Zippo says, but I wish people didn't badmouth him so much on this site. I believe Zippo has good intentions, and I wish he posted here on Famiboards.
I would want the full context of the quote, as there is a world of difference between "It'll be the best selling metroid but it still won't sell much more then 3m lifetime" and "Dread won't sell, it'll never reach 3m lifetime". The latter is just flat out wrong, while the former is a spot on prediction. In a vacuum though if you say "thing won't sell >x" and thing does in fact sell >x, even if it's >x + 1, you're wrong.To be fair to RGT he most often dismisses speculation. I dont agree with all his views but on that at least he engages in less clickbait than most.
On Dread also he said it wont more than 3m and he was kind of right
Have any insiders given a more specific date yet for the Direct or is still possibly this coming week but most likely the week of the 12th?
I just want Zippo to be right because of Golden Sun.
What did he say about Golden Sun?
Nintendo is looking for ways to bring back most of their old IPs. (Clubhouse Games, Advance Wars)
I believe Zippo gets info. I think though the info he gets tends to be early development on games.It would be dishonest and irresponsible if I backed a rumor that I don't have sources for.

Golden Sun will be back eventually, though it's hard to believe because Camelot is getting less and less staffed (38 employees in the last website update in June)What did he say about Golden Sun?

He has been saying that it would return for more than 2 years I believe.What did he say about Golden Sun?
even without a source I can confirm for sure botw2See if anyone can relate
Getting irrationally mad whenever someone suggests BOTW2 might get delayed again while simultaneously convincing myself we won’t see it in the upcoming direct so I don’t spend every waking moment of the next week freaking tf out.
I’m in too deep.
A linear DK makes sense, but instead of having a fixed camera ala Crash, Mario 3D World, and Kirby FL, I would rather have some freedom controlling the camera. It would make it stand out with it's contemporaries.I wonder how people would react if the new DK played like Crash
In my heart of hearts, I'm going to hope this is possibly referring to Zippo's Kid Icarus thing, but we'll see. I just love that game so much.It would be dishonest and irresponsible if I backed a rumor that I don't have sources for. My sources aren't aware of every project that Nintendo makes. I can easily believe that a Donkey Kong game is coming, but I just don't want to slap my name on every rumor that gets reported. Does that make sense?

So do we have a Potential Date for the Direct?
Early next week.So do we have a Potential Date for the Direct?
He’s gotta do a significantly better job of reining in expectations then, given how many of his predictions are “X will be announced soon/release this year”. I certainly don’t think it’s impossible that he’s got sources, but the way he conveys his info is so misleading at times that it’s hard to really take what he says all that seriously.I believe Zippo gets info. I think though the info he gets tends to be early development on games.
So the week of 5th September or the week of 12th September ?Early next week.
I've also kind of always considered Zippo to be somewhat reliable, despite him being infamous around here. I remember a lot of instances where he was right and people just ignored it, he was the first one to talk about a new Mario Party before Superstars was announced, he's being talking about P3 and P4 on the Switch for a while, and he kinda got right the MK Booster Course (but he thought it was MK9, which is understandable if he heard it was 48 new tracks).
He surely has sources, it's just that he might not have as much access to them as other leakers so sometimes his info isn't as up to date or a bit inaccurate
Do not expect old courses to appear in the base game. The game will heavily lean into the crossover aspect, which includes characters, courses, and items."

However, for what it’s worth, I did take a look at his blog and it was way tamer than I thought it would be. Didn’t see any of the homophobia, at the very least, just his own distaste with the Era moderation. Maybe I didn’t look hard enough though, I dunno.
I feel this way, too. It's a great way to send the Switch off. And if these remasters perform well on Switch, maybe Nintendo can be convinced to make new games with those IP in the future.I really like the idea that Nintendo is trying to get as many of their IPs represented on Switch as possible. Even if it means remasters, I think it's important for a system to have as much variety as possible. F-Zero, Star Fox, Punch-Out, Kid Icarus... Bring them all.
A Kid Icarus: Uprising that doesn't hurt to play would be really appreciated.
(Same for a Metroid: Other M).
I don't always agree with RGT but he's one of the more honest Nintendotubers. Much better than Nintendo ambassadors like OJ Playeressence or Miss click who famously called the limited release of Mario 3D all stars a "good thing" for gamers.That’s RGT for you. The dude always have the worst takes like « Dread won’t sell ».
The latter.So the week of 5th September or the week of 12th September ?

for some reason the internet feels like they really want metroid to fail. You dont get this kinda shit with fe for exampleI would want the full context of the quote, as there is a world of difference between "It'll be the best selling metroid but it still won't sell much more then 3m lifetime" and "Dread won't sell, it'll never reach 3m lifetime". The latter is just flat out wrong, while the former is a spot on prediction. In a vacuum though if you say "thing won't sell >x" and thing does in fact sell >x, even if it's >x + 1, you're wrong.
And yes, I realize as of the last numbers we had Dread had only sold 2.9 million, but that just further confirms that 3m+ lifetime is a lock, heck it might have already pass 3m quietly.
star fox switch confirmed : )I'm rooting for a good Star Fox game to come to Switch.
Oh, of course; I just mean that if / when your sources hear of any DK rumblings it’d be a load off my mind, since they seem to be some of the more trustworthy Nintendo sources around. I believe MonkEPD is happening for my own reasons but I can’t put full faith into the supposed inside info side of it.It would be dishonest and irresponsible if I backed a rumor that I don't have sources for. My sources aren't aware of every project that Nintendo makes. I can easily believe that a Donkey Kong game is coming, but I just don't want to slap my name on every rumor that gets reported. Does that make sense?
and he kinda got right the MK Booster Course (but he thought it was MK9, which is understandable if he heard it was 48 new tracks).
Star Fox Adventures port it is then.I'm rooting for a good Star Fox game to come to Switch.
