StarTopic Nintendo Direct Speculation |ST6| It’s Prime Time For Some More Wonderful Speculation! (Spoiler Crowd, Remain In This Thread Until The Direct Ends!)

[Deleted member 3433]

You'll forget all about it when the games are actually shown in the Direct, @Lintendo

 

[Joe]

"Yes"

"Will Metroid Prime 4 be at this Direct?"

"Yesn't."

 

[O. W. Funnyname]

Peach and Ninjas??

Come to think of it, the footage they showed of the Peach game had some ninja-looking characters in it.

 

[Mandos]

I mean I’d rather it be based off X. But if F-Zero 99 is Snes inspired give me the GP2/jazz arrange album OST as an option

 

[Dinoman96]

Yeah I really did Pyoro would touch upon F-Zero more and say at the very least if there's gonna be anything else outside of F-Zero 99, just to help adjust expectations.

 

[BozPaggs]

I agree! I don't usually participate in our Direct speculation threads, this has been my first time. It's honestly been a blast. Even if Metroid Prime 4 is absent yet again, the true Process is the friends we made along the way.

For anyone who doesn't understand The Process, this is all you need to know.

 

[rickyson33]

the Princess Peach game doesn't actually exist and is an elaborate honeypot by the ninjas

PapaGenos is trying to warn Pyoro

 

[Lintendo]

You mean before the switch era? Because leaks were around during the beginning of the switch era

Yeah kinda before the Switch Era and mostly Direct Era I would say?

 

[Lintendo]

You'll forget all about it when the games are actually shown in the Direct, @Lintendo

Yeah, I think so.

 

[Aurc]

A blast? A BLAST? You think getting our hopes and dreams crushed is 'a blast'? You don't even like Nintendo, so you have no idea how it feels not to get a new monkey game.

Welcome back to the block list pal

I wasn't always calm about these things. The first 278 Nintendo Directs with no Metroid in them were hard. Challenging. Brutal. I was definitely a copey malder.

But I believe I've grown resilient. Confident in my resolve. A callus began to form itself around my soul, and suddenly, it no longer mattered if the game I was hoping for was a no show... because there would always be a next time.

I believe one day, you too will experience this. The day will come when AngryAlchemist becomes HappyAlchemist. Trust The Process. This is the way. Umbasa.

 

[BozPaggs]

I am all in for F-Zero 99, I know it's not comparable given the vastly different amount of entries but Mario 35 was the most fun I'd had with 2D Mario since SMW. Even with an old presentation, that new twist was bloody inspired and I can't wait to see how F-Zero's interpretation comes out. Don't get me wrong, I'd love an excuse to play GX again for the first time in almost two decades, but 99 would be an utter treat.

 

[Lintendo]

What do you think how long will the September Direct be?

 

[Dark Cloud]

Nate said he can know things, but not talk about them. So who knows what he knows first party wise.

 

[space_dragon]

...the true Process is the friends we made along the way.

Wait...it is?? That's not what I thought at all. Ugh, screw it!

PYORO, IS PRIME 4 IN THIS DIRECT OR NOT?

 

[SpaceGodzilla]

yeah I'm pulling this discussion trigger

what if it's a Mini?

 

[Dark Cloud]

Come to think of it, the footage they showed of the Peach game had some ninja-looking characters in it.

Good catch. I want to see if this an RPG. Maybe costumes give her different abilities and attacks?

 

[Sparkling Hootle]

where are the WaddleDeeKnows leaks

 

[space_dragon]

yeah I'm pulling this discussion trigger

what if it's a Mini?

I have heard there will be minis, yes.

 

[MisterSpo]

yeah I'm pulling this discussion trigger

what if it's a Mini?

Why would it be a Mini?

2 or 3 first party announcements is par for the course in September. Add updates on 6 or 7 existing first party games and you've got a good chunk of the presentation there. Then, with indies and third parties, it'll be plenty full.

 

[LukasManak22]

Do you think that Koizumi will appear next week on the Apple event to reveal a new 2D DK for smartphones?

 

[YoboD]

Not only would Another Code remakes be hype on their own, it also means it’s possible for the same thing to happen to the Hotel Dusk games in the future too. Save the CING games from DS purgatory and then bring back Rita Suzuki so she doesn’t have to work on that sketchy ass Hitler game.

 

[Deleted member 3433]

The more we ask for a Metroid Prime 4 confirmation, the more the process will turn against us for lacking faith!

 

[Kaizo]

I do have to ask, is F-Zero 99 really a certainty? I know there was the other Pyoro tweet about the other 99 thing ending, but didn't he like a joking post from someone saying "me" when asking what the Direct closer was? Unless there was some other hint within that I missed? I do think it's possible some of Pyoro's likes at least shouldn't be taken as full hints.

 

[AngryAlchemist]

I believe one day, you too will experience this. The day will come when AngryAlchemist becomes HappyAlchemist. Trust The Process. This is the way. Umbasa.

Lol sometimes I forget about how my own name can be used against me and this is why I rarely forget had to do a pun oof

Wait...it is?? That's not what I thought at all. Ugh, screw it!

PYORO, IS PRIME 4 IN THIS DIRECT OR NOT?

This was way funnier than it had any right to be

 

[Brock Reiher]

Pyoro's german Alt (Unconfirmed):

• A game with dolphin(s) in it
• Paper Mario TTYD Remake
• A new Mario & Luigi game
• Daisy appearing in the Untitled Princess Peach game

This is almost certainly fake, Pyoro was making fun of it. Also every Mario vs DK has the mini Mario.

I think the big problem a lot of people have with it being a full direct is that only 1 of the games showcased actually released before this Direct. It's kinda hard to imagine there being some big announcements when Mario Wonder and RPG, Warioware, Detective Pikachu, Batman, Star Ocean, Princess Peach's game, Luigi's Mansion 2, and practically every other game that isn't Pikmin 4 aren't out yet. The year is STACKED, so it feels weird to have a Direct right now.

Not everything he likes is Direct related for sure

I mean nothing really is certain in the grand scheme of things

 

[lexony]

Koizumi's butt dance + the Mario segment oscar acting from the latest Direct are missing but either way it's your complete package.

My favourite one still is Koizumi randomly flying away after scoring in a volleyball match.

Though you missed the Super Nintendo World Direct where Miyamoto is roaming through the park with many great moments. Like him jumping out a life sized pipe, remarking that eating Popcorn while walking around might seem ill mannered while walking and eating Popcorn or saying Goodbye to Mario and Luigi with „Okay, Dad’s busy now“

It’s going to be a general direct. We go through this every year…

 

[space_dragon]

Hey, that's the name of my next comedy album!

 

[Marce-chan]

After PapaGenos got Metroid Prime Remastered shadowdrop right I'll never ever doubt him again.

 

[Kaizo]

After PapaGenos got Metroid Prime Remastered shadowdrop right I'll never ever doubt him again.

Same! So now I need him to say Prime 2 Remastered shadowdrop X')

That doesn't explain why it would be a Mini.

There's nothing weird about it being Direct time. It's September and Tokyo Game Show is soon, which means Japanese third parties want to announce games. It's also perfect timing before Christmas for Nintendo to further advertise their forthcoming titles, and it's well timed for them to announce and advertise early 2024 titles. It's the standard strategy for them in the Switch era.

 

[ghostboltz]

So just finished work. What happened today, anything spicey?

Also... the September General Direct being the most consistent timingwise and branding wise

I Hope that F-Zero 99 us a joke !

 

[lemonfresh]

Metroid Prime Pinball 99

 

[Dark Cloud]

Kaizo F-Zero

 

[Kevin360]

I’ll trust the process.

WHEN I’M DEAD

 

[bloopland33]

Yes the agreement we’ve all come too is the direct is on the 14th.

Thank you. Wonder if the date changed or how Pyoro had the 13th initially.

 

[Paxie]

I’m hoping he heard stuff on Prime being in this direct.

He said in his Discord that MP4 "is definitely ready to be shown off" but doesn't know if it's going to be in the Direct

 

[Kaizo]

Kaizo F-Zero

I feel this is trying to get my attention? Perhaps you wanted to team up and create a kaizo to make GX twenty times harder than it already is? X)

 

[Dark Cloud]

He said in his Discord that MP4 "is definitely ready to be shown off" but doesn't know if it's going to be in the Direct

Same thing what Ashen said. Dammit nobody knows if Prime 4 is going to be shown.

 

[Slash]

Same thing what Ashen said. Dammit nobody knows if Prime 4 is going to be shown.

Right now. Close your eyes

 

[ITSMILNER]

I’m keen to know how Pyoro gets these infos, I can’t imagine the Direct would have been uploaded to YouTube at this point right? Then if it’s leaks through retail, how would they know about titles specifically for NSO?

 

[lemonfresh]

imagine if prime 4 is close to done or done and they are just sitting on it. They did they same thing with totk

 

[Number1000DKFan]

Um, these are all arbitrary timelines ascribed by you. Especially since any one of these things could end up on new hardware next year (new 3D Mario) or splitting gens next year (Metroid Prime 4).

These are not arbitrary timelines, because they’re significantly longer than the typical development time for these types of games

 

[Marce-chan]

Same! So now I need him to say Prime 2 Remastered shadowdrop X')

And I need him to say MP4 is being shown in any capacity

I’m hoping he heard stuff on Prime being in this direct.

Me too!!! Hope he teases something.

He said in his Discord that MP4 "is definitely ready to be shown off" but doesn't know if it's going to be in the Direct

Yeah I think MP4 has been ready for showing for awhile but more like TotK was ready to show at E3 2021 and they don't really want to show it like that but instead more like TotK at the September Direct where they can be committed to a set release date. Or at least like Bayonetta 3 where the game would be still a year away but with them being dead certain it'd make it.
