I guess they find it too difficult with the new engine and most likely the more 3rd persoj over the shoulder viewCo-op was one of the best elements of Pikmin 2 and 3. I’ll be really bummed if it isn’t back.

Still wondering how they're going to balance all those pikmin while introducing the dog too. I hope electric instakill is back, yellows feel largely useless without it.Actually here it is in better quality than Twitter allowed; I can still contribute something (courtesy of @Forkball)!
It apparently has splitscreen again so they are half the way there.I guess they find it too difficult with the new engine and most likely the more 3rd persoj over the shoulder view
the split screen looks like Bingo Battle
Gimme split screen co-op!!
I'M READYYYYYYYYyyyyyyLaying down the gauntlet for Fami. We have potentially 8-9 hours before the Direct, let’s hit page 230 before the announcement. We need roughly 90 posts an hour to make this happen. Let’s bring the hype all night long!
The second player screen has mutant Pikmin Dog (and you can see it in the first player screen) so I think it's traditional co-opHMMMmmmmmm are they just doing “one person moves, one person aims” for co-op??? That’s extremely disappointing if so

Though might just be a mission instead of the campaign
It's late, and this is probably a joke (but just in case: the katakana says controller)
switch pro confirmed
90 posts an hour, gotta go fast!! 🫨I'M READYYYYYYYYyyyyyy
fidget spinnersOmg guys what happened?! 20 pages in 24 hours
Not for FE4.
FE4 was never released outside of Japan, and it's one that fans have been clamoring for a remake (or at least even a localization) for quite some time
the ds games were remakes of fe1 & fe3, not fe4
Oops, I my brain went and said "Final Fantasy" rather than "Fire Emblem".The remakes were for FE1 and FE3 which were the Archanea games aka Marth's story. Which those remakes were Shadow Dragon and New Mystery of the Emblem. The latter never releasing internationally.
You! A man of culture! Yes please!And don't forget about Zangeki no Reginleiv this time!
Much love Legion Fingers crossed above all that the headaches will at least not plague you during the Direct itselfHey all, glad to be with you even in spirit even with all the crazy shit I’ve been though and all the bad headaches I still get and they’re not hundred percent gone yet. Getting there but not quite. Thank you @Raccoon , @Dragoncaine, @LukasManak22 , @VolcanicDynamo , @Aurc , @merp, @Derachi USER=46]@Brofield[/USER] , @xghost777 , @Skittzo and @Plum for staying in contact with me. Really appreciate it.
...okay, now I get that this is a riff on Eminem, but for the last several hours I kept looping this in the head to the beat of "Open the door, get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur"Y'all act like you never seen a Nintendo Direct before
Jaws all on the floor like Reggie just burst in the door.
Also a man of culture! Monke and dinosaurs!listen I really like monke and dinosaurs
You take that back about Chibi Robo (even if it's only one good game, but that first game was real good.), but anyone who recognizes Custom Robo is a friend of mine.No new Golden Sun
No new Punch Out
No new F-Zero
No new Star Fox
No new Mario Baseball
No new Donkey Kong
No new Wario Land
No new Custom Robo
No new Chibi RoboJK Chibi Robo sucks lol
Switch is dogshit confirmed
Miyamoto, reading this, eyes squinting in disbelief, the urge to upend teatables rising over "maturing speculation"Alright everyone, I've just updated the OP for what I expect to be the penultimate time. I'd like to close out my time as OP with some introspective remarks.
I've spent much of this year's hype cycles stewing in resentment of the regularity of the Nintendo news cycle and the precision with which some can now predict it. My mentality was one of chaos worship as I longed for the uncertain times for Nintendo news of years past. In addition to 2020, which I see as the height of these threads despite the lack of an actual Direct that year, Direct hype as we've come to understand it began in a very uncertain time for news about Nintendo Switch: the start of 2018. The first new year for Nintendo Switch brought with it great intrigue, as we didn't yet understand how the software composition of the platform would look in the years to come.
However, the past several days have brought me to the conclusion that my yearning for this feeling is misguided. What we all see embodied in @LukasManak22 is the maturation of Direct speculation: a robust commitment to facts, reason, and understanding of why Nintendo will do what and when. Yes, he knew exactly when the February Direct would be, as did many others, based on precedent alone. This week however will be a triumph for simple reasoning: there are no Nintendo games after Pikmin, and they need to have them announced by the financial briefing on Friday. It was cognizance of Nintendo that brought us here, not just a passive deference to patterns. I, for one, am very satisfied by how this story ends, though I wouldn't have said so mere weeks ago.
As I said before, Direct speculation has matured, both fundamentally and superficially. Our improved understanding of how Nintendo markets games represents a fundamental maturation of this endeavor, while the simple fact that we are now on-topic more than not represents immense superficial improvement. Indeed, the community finding a home has created a superior environment for both casual discussions and enthusiast ones like this. While the circumstances that led to its creation were obviously distinct from this, I have to thank @bellydrum for improving the activity of this community in an effort merely to save it.
As an aside, the third discussion topic that I previously alluded to felt unneeded and outright counterproductive as the thread gained momentum. While I consider the guided discussions great appetizers and their creation a success, this thread no longer has use for any guidance at all. Where we're going we don't need rails.
I hope that every last one of you gets something out of this week's Nintendo Direct. For the first time in a few years, I'm feeling excited myself.
Lastly, I don't know who you are. I don't know what you originally typed nor if anyone saw what you wrote before deleting, but I just want to say: I appreciate your username, and as a fellow member of the TimeSplitters fanbase dear God I hope we get an announcement sooner rather than later.
Report: Area man “needs more games,” denies “still trying desperately to find the last 20 shrines in Tears of the Kingdom”i am glad that ff16 is on the horizon, even if theres somehow no direct i cant lose this week
Didn't this dude predict that Metroid Prime Remastered would be shadowdropped during the February 2023 direct? Or was that someone else?
I'd prefer the TTYD remaster too, but two Mario RPG remakes makes me think "Porque no los dos?"
It is weird exactly how many Mario games are seemingly piling up. In addition to the four you suggested we have had The Thousand Year Door HD suggested as well, plus Mario Kart and Mario Rabbids DLC, and guesses for a Mario party game. Pretty wild to think the last new Mario game announced was Strikers back in February of last year so there has been a huge dearth of Mario and suddenly a feast. Really interested to see what we get on the Mario front on Wednesday.Could the majority of 2H new games this year be Mario? Baseball, Party, RPG, and 2D? While they save MP4, FE4R, and DK for next year? Of course a SMRPG remake isn't technically new and I'm sure there'll be other remasters/remakes (KIU, FZero, etc.), but that's kind of it seemingly for Switch, right? Since the next 3D Mario will likely launch NS2 next year I think.
Guess they are shadow dropping Echoes this timeDon't know if others have pointed it out but for what its worth the Nintendo E-shop is currently under maintentence.
For me, it is 100% Super Mario RPG HD or Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door HD. Both sound like a pipe dream and too good to be trueIn the interest of kickstarting discussion, what game / announcement are you most excited about for the seemingly happening Nintendo Direct this week. This is not necessarily the announcement you most believe will be there, but one you want to see most that you do think has a good enough shot of being there.
For me, it’s 100% Metroid Prime 4. It has been six years since it was announced and all we have really is some Facebook art. It’s time to see it and at least get some sense what it is about as it is the next “big” Switch game with Zelda out.
Good morning my fellow europeans. We wre now so close.
Before we fly into battle in 7 and a half hours, an essential question:Good morning my fellow europeans. We wre now so close.
It's so good to see Nintendo using Unreal Engine.Actually here it is in better quality than Twitter allowed; I can still contribute something (courtesy of @Forkball)!
But am not a Britain!I didn't know you were European (I kinda assume most people on sites like here are in North America since I thought Europe had their own forums). I'm now relistening to your old posts (in my head) wherein you were so sure of things with a catty British accent .
Pokémon hasn't been featured in a single Direct since the Pokémon Presents branding came into use. To show up in a Direct now would be a substantial change to the status quo.Wouldn't be the first time. One of the Direct Minis ended off on Pokemon DLC, and I think the September 2019 Direct announced Polteageist and Cramorant
From the same engine that brought you Gears Of War comes Pikmin 4.
Pikmin Horde mode would be legit. Same deal with the opposite if you could control the creatures.Excited for Pikmin Horde mode!
Roughly 6-7 hours from now if it happens.So any idea what time they could announce? Does it have to be today?
SMRPG remake. Even though I haven't played the original, I'm just excited for the return of a true Mario RPG. Plus, I need that Yoko Shimomura Mario music.

How’s the mood everyone
Pokémon Presents began in 2013. Pokémon has been in directs since then and no, not just NSO stuff. In March of 2020, sword and shieldPokémon hasn't been featured in a single Direct since the Pokémon Presents branding came into use. To show up in a Direct now would be a substantial change to the status quo.
Either Prime 4 or 2D Mario for me. Extremely curious to see what they've come up with for the latterIn the interest of kickstarting discussion, what game / announcement are you most excited about for the seemingly happening Nintendo Direct this week.
