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

[Pillydillsy]

Do we really NEED prime 4 news? We could go for another year of waiting. And while your at it nintendo, might as well cancel that new DK game planned to launch in march

 

[Green_Meeple]

I want us to get a Partners Direct

Do not even say this name out loud. I understand the intention, but we have to be careful with what is said.... Maybe Lukas sees this and makes it happen.

 

[LoneRanger]

Revealing a new DK (if its 3D, at least be course based like 3D World) and Prime 4 would be a 10/10 direct, and being honest, is pretty amazing nintendo still has lots of titles (both originals, remasters and remakes) coming to switch, including its third party support. I mean, this system is 6 and half years and still rocking the charts.

Let’s not be rash

I think we’re due an all Retro Studios Direct.

ITS DIFFERENT I SWEAR

 

[ZephyrPhoenix]

September Direct will be the Remasters/Remakes Direct

trust :>

 

[chocolate_supra]

If DK is shown, it's 100% a 3D game. A 2D platformer announcement doesn't make sense at this time with Super Mario Bros Wonder just around the corner. I'm not sure if releasing a major 3D platformer right before the Switch 2 is a good idea, but we'll see what happens!

Hey, a few days back we were speculating on the theme of the Direct, maybe we will get 2D DK next to Mario Wonder and Untitled Peach Game and Silksong. 2D Direct!

2Direct

Well then Guess I took the bait hook, line and sinker lmao

Honestly I thought your response was you furthering the joke by pretending to take it seriously

I know it like the back of my hand and could recite it in my sleep. I just don't really get it

Go sit somewhere and have a calzone, Ben.

I'll make a thread later to address this, and explain why I trust the process.

Dude you already did:

Metroid |ST| Trust The Process

Welcome to the official Famiboards StarTopic for Nintendo's Metroid series! Having debuted in August of 1986, on the Famicom Disk System (Nintendo Entertainment System, in territories outside of Japan), the original Metroid is an action-adventure game that combines both the platforming of Super...

there's a 100% chance it's fake

but it's so blurry it's gotta be real

was it about tummy sticks

just googled this, thanks

Naw, I'm just bad at picking up sarcasm on the internet (and sometimes irl, but I can at least mask that as "well my sarcasm is drier than yours and I was just playing along" when confronted with a bamboozle)

 

[DecoReturns]

I can dig it

 

[Lucyfer]

I haven't been keeping up, what potential dates are we looking at for the direct?

 

[Derachi]

I haven't been keeping up, what potential dates are we looking at for the direct?

Seems Wednesday, September 13th is the most likely.

 

[Aurc]

Dude you already did

From a certain point of view, I guess that's true! I still need a definitive resource to point to for when people ask about The Process, though. I may also make a Famiboards Club for The Process, even though we don't use Clubs for anything at all. Just having all the disciples like myself, @Gengar, @TheSpaceBetween, and anyone else who #TTP united under a holy house of our unwavering conviction is enough for me.

 

[SpaceGodzilla]

wonder if side order will take a decent chunk of the direct

 

[Joe]

I think we’re due an all Retro Studios Direct.

Just 40 minutes of BBQ footage.

 

[Magic-Man]

I think it's going to open the Direct and shadowdrop, or at the very least be given a November 1st release date.

 

[Pillydillsy]

Praying to whatever god will listen that side order is the intro thing. Let Mario RPG be the game they focus on (or that new DK game launching in march)

 

[oomoepoo]

I haven't been keeping up, what potential dates are we looking at for the direct?

I think the 13th September is currently what most people are rooting for. It's a bit weird due to Pokemon launching at that day but seems like some insiders are pretty certain.

 

[AlwaysOnDeck]

What's Side Order?!

 

[Magic-Man]

What's Side Order?!

Splatoon 3 DLC

 

[AlwaysOnDeck]

Splatoon 3 DLC

Ooh that's right! I forgot all about it.

 

[Amadeus]

Ooh that's right! I forgot all about it.

even Nintendo forgot

 

[Hoagmaster]

September Direct will be the Remasters/Remakes Direct

trust :>

It'd be a good follow-up to last September's Farming Direct.

 

[bloopland33]

If a Smash team is indeed gathering one more time, they sure as hell better gather again this time next year for a 4K patch

 

[Dark Cloud]

wonder if side order will take a decent chunk of the direct

No. Maybe 2-3 minutes. Regular games take like 5 minutes the most now and side order is just dlc

Regarding those rumors about the Peach game having exploration like classic Paper Mario/classic pm vibes, I've not played the newer paper marios and I'm curious what is the main difference in exploration between entries? I know about the battle differences but I guess I assumed they were mostly the same otherwise

 

[chocolate_supra]

I'd love to have an episode of the Famiboards Discussion Club Podcast all about The Process.

the deep state doesn't want the cruisn' blast multi-player update to release #theprocessisbroken

Do you like backtracking and hitting a sleeping Bob-Omb 100 times with your hammer?

There’s more open exploration in the newer games. Backtracking is prevalent and more linearity in the older games

 

[prizna]

So we are going to get Geno in Mario Kart instead of Smash aren't we?

 

[EtherPenguin]

I've been going through the first one on NSO. I'm not finding too much backtracking for the main story, just that koopa mayor asking for a million favors. But yeah, the linearity is the main thing that sticks out to me. Like would this really excite people about the Peach game?

Do you like backtracking and hitting a sleeping Bob-Omb 100 times with your hammer?

To be fair, I'm not sure I'd call the latter exploration

The backtracking is more prevalent in TTYD and no it doesn’t excite me lol. I guess we’ll see if it’s true and how it plays out.

Origami King I think is by far the best in that aspect.

wow welcome to BIDEN’S AMERICA

Biden doesn't want the rest of us Cruisin' until his term is over and he's allowed to go cruisin' in his Corvette again.
seriously yall his corvette is fucken gorgeous

paper peach

 

[Dark Cloud]

paper peach

It makes a lot of sense when you remember Intelligent Systems made Super Paper Mario and Paper Peach was playable.

 

[Pillydillsy]

After literal decades without ANYTHING Mario RPG related, geno in Mario kart would be incredible

 

[HockeyBird]

Plastic Wario

[Amadeus]

If Intelligent System is working on the Princess Peach game then that would mean that the next direct could potentially feature 3 games co-developed/developed by them: WarioWare, Princess Peach and FE4R.

 

[Aurc]

I'd love to have an episode of the Famiboards Discussion Club Podcast all about The Process.

I've not been involved in the podcast, but I'd totally be up for appearing on an episode at some point, if the others are cool with that! Just waiting until after the MP4 Direct, whether that's this one, the next one, the one after that...

Anyway, rest assured, there's no way I make it through a Metroid-centric episode without multiple mentions of The Process.

 

[Joe]

It's interesting how there seems to be more skepticism about Metroid Prime 4 showing up in the September Direct than there was about it showing up in the June Direct.

 

[Tikilagoonsam]

All I need is Wind Waker HD for Switch.

A Ocarina of Time Remake would make me pass out and shit myself from pure joy.

I have a feeling the peach game is made by next level. It just reeks of their art style and designs, plus the animations remind me a bit of Luigi’s mansion 3

 

[E.Gadd]

Thinking about it, the Peach game could very likely introduce a brand new antagonist just for the Princess. Every time the Mario series characters get their own staring role, it typically comes with a new recurring baddie.

Super Mario Bros. - Bowser
Wario Land - Captain Syrup
DKC - K. Rool
Yoshi's Island - Kamek
Luigi's Mansion - King Boo
Captain Toad - Wingo(tho I guess they aren't really recurring so far huh)

Yes I know the first time Peach got her own game, this didn't occur, but this time around it feels like they are taking the idea of Peach having her own games more seriously. Guess we'll see.

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

It'd be funny if the Peach game is developed by Tose

 

[Dark Cloud]

Peach had a companion in Super Princess Peach and that was by Tose. She has another possible companion character here…

 

[Aurc]

wow welcome to BIDEN’S AMERICA

The Process broke thanks to a woke bloke. I miss when gaming wasn't political, like Metroid 1 (it's good until the end where it turns out to be a woman )
