StarTopic Nintendo Direct Speculation |ST5| Uncharted Territory: Drake's Deception

[Aurc]

When I was giving reasurrance for weeks they did not listen, then he said something about July and they jumped on board with him, and here we are only 4 days before Direct.

Do you think we'll see Metroid Prime 4?

 

[VitalitySensor]

Nintendo goes 3rd party

didn’t nintendo already go third party on december 7th 2000

 

[Pokemaniac]

I don’t see why Horse Shit wouldn’t get at least a couple seconds in a direct next week considering it’d be coming soon after.

Unless it is a partner direct, in which case the game is probably just getting “Twitter” marketing.

Even if Nintendo had something resembling actual confidence in the game, it's the sort of title that tends to skip out on Directs entirely, like Labo or Big Brain Academy. Nintendo has a "not a good fit for the Direct audience" advertising track, and the horse game is unquestionably on it.

We need a new podcast tbh. Lukas the Hate

 

[robertman2]

Because of how Jeff talks about Nintendo leaks I feel like the July thing is about partners.

why would nintendo do a general in june and a partner in july

 

[SofyTrancy]

Hello guys I had a lot of things to do so I wasn’t able to log in in the past few days.
How are we feeling for next week?

 

[EvilChameleon]

Regular Direct this month, Pokemon Presents in July.

 

[Intoxicate]

Better than a lot of times, 6.21% better to be precise.

 

[LukasManak22]

Do you think we'll see Metroid Prime 4?

This is not even a question at this point, we are seeing it next week and with a exact release date, wheter that is sometime in Holiday 2023 or Spring 2024 remains to be seen.

When need a new podcast tbh. Lukas the Hate

The guy don't have actual sources but gets it always right. Nintendo Ninjas are investigating who the fuck he really is.

[Deleted member 2]

I am in sucha good mood in terms of the next year and a half Nintendo.

Silksong

Pretty optimistic

 

[LukasManak22]

Famiboards member LukasManak22:

This will be the same exact story as with Zelda/Animal Crossing - announcing the release date way in advance, even if it's in Spring. The next time we see the game (first time really) they are giving proper release date to really reassure people it's coming and they are sure of it, after rebooted development and years of waiting. It never made sense to them to tease the game with generic "2023" last year or something like that. And definitely not with a teaser, the first one will be proper trailer, they know what they have to do with this one and it's: Here it is, here is gameplay, here is how it looks and here is exact release date, we are sorry it took so long you will be able to play it in the next 5-9 months. Thank you for your patience will Koizumi say, as they always do.

The prospect of a Pikmin 4 direct next week and a partner showcase in July just makes me sad

I dig it. You don't think there's a possibility they save it to show as one of the games alongside the new hardware? That's really the only thing giving me some pause.

I chuckled irl

 

[quelseydilla]

Nintendo's out here trying to prepare us to clean up after stinky horse

Nintendo desperately asking for the sources

Nintendo: Why isn’t it possible?

Lukas: it’s just not

Nintendo: why not you stupid bastard

 

[LukasManak22]

New hardware will come Holiday 2024, the game will definitely release before that.

 

[Ibrahim]

If you think about it @LukasManak22 is just a smarter and better version of SamusHunter lol

 

[oomoepoo]

I don't think further delaying a game that was in development for the better part of the lifetime of the Switch just so it can launch on a new hardware with a fraction of the installbase is the power move some people make it out to be

 

[Cyrus]

If you think about it @LukasManak22 is just a smarter and better version of SamusHunter lol

 

[Zumikoi]

If you think about it @LukasManak22 is just a smarter and better version of SamusHunter lol

we are not that far from kotaku or nintenderos publishing "The insider LukasManak22 says there will be a nintendo direct this week"

 

[Awesomegames23]

If there's no Direct this week then Lukas will have to use an avatar depicting a shaved Falco, for 1 week.

 

[JorgenRaft]

why would nintendo do a general in june and a partner in july

Back to back events in June and July... Jeff predicting next week may be a mini... could it be... multiple summer Partner Directs have returned?

 

[Ibrahim]

we are not that far from kotaku or nintenderos publishing "The insider LukasManak22 says there will be a nintendo direct this week"

Or Nintendo Prime lmao

 

[LukasManak22]

If there's no Direct this week then Lukas will have to use an avatar depicting a shaved Falco, for 1 week.

Then I would do something far more.

If there is no June Direct am leaving Famiboards forever.

See, sacrifice. That's the price of a good trick.

 

[Awesomegames23]

See, sacrifice. That's the price of a good trick.

Look at what you're doing to us Nintendo.

 

[VegiHam]

Sacrifices?

Are we resurrecting the ancient magic?

 

[LukasManak22]

Sacrifices?

Are we resurrecting the ancient magic?

I am your ancestor from a time long ago, the Sage of Direct.

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

I am your ancestor from a time long ago, the Sage of Direct.

Not sure I get it. Can you tell me three more times?

 

[LukasManak22]

Not sure I get it. Can you tell me three more times?

hahaha, this is exactly me when playing: Again? Oh? So that was the Imprisoning War????

 

[quelseydilla]

The Nintendo Direct rumors and doubt have reached my Twitter feed.

 

[Charamiwa]

My (hopefully) reasonable expectations of what would be solid late-gen Direct:

Opens with 2D Mario
A slick looking ND Cube game in the middle
Closes with Prime 4
Sprinkle in some remasters, lots of DLC and mid tier third party stuff

I think that's enough to be happy.

 

[Imitatio]

I've really got no horse in this horace

 

[Joe]

Lukas, since you have the power to will things into existence, can you please say we'll see Metroid Prime 4 next week

 

[VegiHam]

I've really got no horse in this horace

Nintendo listened to fans but they have bad hearing: "we heard you wanted Horacing games?"

 

[Joe]

Horst would have been a better name than Horace, just saying.

 

[YoboD]

why would nintendo do a general in june and a partner in july

Plot twist: It turns out that Nintendo actually has too many games for the second half of the year, so we need back to back directs to cover them all.

 

[JorgenRaft]

I get the vibe we might not see MP4 until September as their main early 2024 game.

 

[Pointy Tucks]

If Pikmin 4 and Stinky Horse can claw their way out of Nintendo hell, I have faith in MP4

 

[Dark Cloud]

Lukas said Metroid Prime 4 will be there. That’s all you need for reassurance

 

[meatbag]

so we need back to back directs to cover them all

Nice, their “one more thing” will be another Direct haha

 

[Lintendo]

So can we have KH 1-2 Remaster as Physical? Thank you

 

[Pointy Tucks]

I get the vibe we might not see MP4 until September as their main early 2024 game.

I could see them throwing in something small this direct to remind people it’s still happening, and save the more in-depth content for September

they re going to reveal metroid's android/ios game finally.

No, for real, i wonder what could a phone metroid game be. Give me something creative, not pinball phone lmao

 

[Pointy Tucks]

“Mom! Dad! Prime 4 is out!”

“That’s right! Prime 4 phones!”

 

[LukasManak22]

Lukas said Metroid Prime 4 will be there. That’s all you need for reassurance

As a side note, Koizumi had to say: "We announced this game in 2017 and we thank you for your patience" in regards of Bayo 3 finally showing up in September 2021 Direct. He will say something similar in 4 days. NCL presenters are always doing this stuff, like Takahashi when he mentioned "it's been a while" when there was not a General Direct for year and a half, he even apologized that they haven't been able to do a full Direct and only Mini presentations. Or when Aonuma was mentioning that it's been 2 years since they first announced TotK and they haven't shown anything.

It will be the same story this time when Koizumi mentions MP4 and he will thank us for waiting and patience, people always appreciate this kind of stuff.

Maybe, though idk if they'd go for another small tease since that's all we've been munching on for 6 years now lol. I think when we finally see it, we're gonna SEE it.

they will literally only show 5 landscape shots and the internet will implode lol.

I can’t see them throwing something small in when we haven’t seen a thing of the game for 6 and years. It was also rebooted. Nintendo doesn’t have that kind of leverage for Metroid Prime 4 imo. Either you discuss and show the game off or you don’t say anything at all.
