It's going to be Tom Holland and you know it.I just hope the actor they choose to voice Diddy Kong in the Donkey Kong spinoff film will be someone I can at least tolerate.

If I'm not mistaken the miracle game is GoldenEye remake, but given the state of the world with Russia's ongoing aggression against Ukraine, the announcement let alone release is probably not coming for a long while yet.Btw....was Nate's "miracle game" ever announced/released??
Other way around, Mario is Diddy in a human suit.I thought Diddy Kong was just Mario in a monkey suit?
No.Seems like a prime role for Justin Beiber to play
I think I'm okay with that. Better than Beiber at least.It's going to be Tom Holland and you know it.
I thought it was Halo, but that he hadn't heard any updates and assumed it was cancelledIf I'm not mistaken the miracle game is GoldenEye remake, but given the state of the world with Russia's ongoing aggression against Ukraine, the announcement let alone release is probably not coming for a long while yet.
I hope you're ready to forget about the actual DirectAny prediction that doesn't have GB/GBA for NSO is instantly erased from my mind.
It's gotta be someone who can sing a song or do a rap. Illumination isn't gonna be able to do 2 Nintendo films without a DK rap of some kind.No.
I think I'm okay with that. Better than Beiber at least.
I remember HaloIf I'm not mistaken the miracle game is GoldenEye remake, but given the state of the world with Russia's ongoing aggression against Ukraine, the announcement let alone release is probably not coming for a long while yet.
Yeah, Advance Wars is gonna get swept under the rug as much as possible. It's gonna suck for the devs but there's no way Nintendo markets this thing like they were originally supposed to.I think the next time they'll talk about advance wars will be like two weeks before they drop it
I thought I remembered Mario on PlayStation being a Zell hint along with 'I just wanted to stop by and say Halo', which iirc Nate corroborated and then like a year later said progress stalled and hadn't heard a peep from sources since.I thought it was Halo, but that he hadn't heard any updates and assumed it was cancelled
EDIT: Or was that the "Mario on PlayStation" hint? Were those different hints?
Then maybe I am wrong I really thought I recalled Nate clarified GoldenEye being the miracle game and the Halo rumor being separate, but given the status of both I'm fully expecting Timesplitters to get a new entry before either lolI remember Halo
Channing TatumIt's gotta be someone who can sing a song or do a rap. Illumination isn't gonna be able to do 2 Nintendo films without a DK rap of some kind.
I wonder if Seth Rogen can rap.It's gotta be someone who can sing a song or do a rap. Illumination isn't gonna be able to do 2 Nintendo films without a DK rap of some kind.
I think we all know he cannotI wonder if Seth Rogen can rap.
But he can siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing~I think we all know he cannot
To be open minded, perhaps Emily has heard some of the things Zippo has, but where as Emily is a professional and withholds until they're confident, Zippo gets overly eager and reports on everything they hear from their sources. This would create a weird dynamic where to the outside, it looks like Zippo is just making shit up all the time, but to an insider they know Zippo isn't making stuff up, they're just not doing due process to wait until they have more definitive evidence.So I wrote off on reporting on Zippo awhile ago. The reasoning being that it looked like he was throwing everything at the wall and seeing what would stick - he has gotten so much wrong, the list is looking almost 6 to 1 in terms of wrong to correct. Now I know projects get cancelled and I know some things take a long time, but he has stated things in the past like "the lineup of a direct" and then literally none of those things were in the direct.
A lot of the flack he gets is because of stuff like that. It's fine Emily if you want to vouch a little and think he has good intentions and possibly a real source, but the facts are what the facts are. Zippo is wrong 90% of the time, and that's just not a good look.
I don't mind if he posted here and if he did, maybe we would get more transparency on his rumors. But as someone who reports on this stuff, Zippo comes off as someone just making it up. Funny Samus Hunter was mentioned - she vanished (as did sylux hunter) on July 19th and hasn't been seen since.
Hell yeah.And not made by Illumination, but by Jim Henson Studios.
They don't?So, here's a weird question... how are they gonna do the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance NSO controllers?
4We need a Direct length poll.
1. Approx. 30 minutes
2. Approx. 35 minutes
3. Approx. 40 minutes
4. Approx. 45 minutes
5. Approx. 50 minutes
6. Approx. 55 minutes
7. Approx. 1 hour
Why wouldn't they?They don't?
I know nobody asked but
Metroid (NES): 6/10
Metroid II: Return of Samus: 7/10
Super Metroid: 10/10
Metroid Fusion: 8/10
Metroid Prime: 10/10
Metroid: Zero Mission: 10/10
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes: 9/10
Metroid Prime Pinball: 6/10
Metroid Prime Hunters: 5/10
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: 8/10
Metroid Prime Trilogy: 10/10
Metroid: Other M: 2/10
Metroid Prime: Federation Force: 6/10
Metroid: Samus Returns: 8/10
Metroid Dread: 9/10
So, here's a weird question... how are they gonna do the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance NSO controllers?
Til I have a modern way of playing Rockman & Forte (Super Fami), X Command Mission, Network Transmission and the Gameboy MM and MMX, it ain't truly over though!I just realized that this is the first direct in years where I don't have to put a Mega Man collection on my wishlist since Battle Network was already announced!
I think they just sell a Game Boy-shaped Bluetooth controller but the screen is just a piece of plastic and not actually functional. Same with GBA.So, here's a weird question... how are they gonna do the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance NSO controllers?
Yeah that's what I'm thinking tooI think they just sell a Game Boy-shaped Bluetooth controller but the screen is just a piece of plastic and not actually functional. Same with GBA.
Paper Mario wasn’t a return to form which was the big dealI still recall Zippo saying Paper Mario with partners (which was true in a monkey’s paw way lol) and NEW 2D Metroid 5 (pretty much no one else got that specific with it)
I do think he’s had sources.
I am very unlikely to trust him as a source after the rumor he pushed of a new mainline Mario Kart on Switch, despite how incredibly unlikely it seemed to everyone from the start and his push back to people who doubted that rumor. Then 2 years later we finally get an answer with Nintendo adding huge DLC to MK8D which makes it clear a new Mario Kart wont happen on Switch.
To be fair, he said we were getting a new Mario Kart and then Home Circuit came out later that year. Obviously not the one most of us wanted, but Zippo wasn't exactly wrong either.
4. It will be slightly longer, because we had a third party only direct instead of a normal one (mostly wishful thinking though)We need a Direct length poll.
1. Approx. 30 minutes
2. Approx. 35 minutes
3. Approx. 40 minutes
4. Approx. 45 minutes
5. Approx. 50 minutes
6. Approx. 55 minutes
7. Approx. 1 hour
I could see them doing the bottom half of a gameboy advance spI think they just sell a Game Boy-shaped Bluetooth controller but the screen is just a piece of plastic and not actually functional. Same with GBA.
Thinking about keeping it in the circle that Rogan runs with, Michael Cera or Jay Baruchel would work.I just hope the actor they choose to voice Diddy Kong in the Donkey Kong spinoff film will be someone I can at least tolerate.
Ew. But points for Canada again.Seems like a prime role for Justin Beiber to play
That would ergonomically be like so bad.I could see them doing the bottom half of a gameboy advance sp
