I know none of the four rumored XBOX to multiplatform games are Halo, but I'd love to see a shock announcement tomorrow. Just, boom, here's Infinite on the Switch.
That was me! Someone put a dunce or jester hat on my bird and I’ll wear it."Nintendo would never delay a Direct for a podcast" sayers are looking real foolish rn
“And for our last announcement…Halo DS!”I know none of the four rumored XBOX to multiplatform games are Halo, but I'd love to see a shock announcement tomorrow. Just, boom, here's Infinite on the Switch.
But why didn't pyoro know about the direct when it was "originally" going to drop?I mean, Pyoro liked Grubb's tweet about the direct getting delayed because of the Xbox thing like a week ago, so this doesn't really feel like a new development. Guess it's more explicit now, but we know how Pyoro uses likes to soft-confirm when people get things "right"
Anyway, I'm only really expecting Pentiment, but it'd be pretty neat if they manage to shadowdrop Hi-Fi Rush a second time
Master Chief Collection would be more likely than Infinite imoI know none of the four rumored XBOX to multiplatform games are Halo, but I'd love to see a shock announcement tomorrow. Just, boom, here's Infinite on the Switch.
So Microsoft was just going to let the direct originally have the announcements and surprise everyone? Before it was leaked that Microsoft was going to give games to other parties? I'm not followingThis is why I listen to insiders. They know what they’re talking about. It was discussed it was delayed because MICROSOFT had some games they would announce that would be in the Partners presentation. Microsoft moved their podcast up which made Nintendo had to move the direct back.
It was 100% delayed
However Pyoro's getting info, it doesn't seem to get to him until pretty shortly before it gets revealedBut why didn't pyoro know about the direct when it was "originally" going to drop?
See, I suggest Infinite because it's live service, so it's constant money for Microsoft. And Nintendo, for that matter, whatever cut they get.Master Chief Collection would be more likely than Infinite imo
And they could add a channel to the NSO voice app!See, I suggest Infinite because it's live service, so it's constant money for Microsoft. And Nintendo, for that matter, whatever cut they get.
Honestly I think that would be a best case scenario, I too would also love nothing more than to see Honne's mother game concept be brought to life!
The remaster of a series that's already part of a Nintendo series!If Bandai Namco is involved in the partner showcase tommorow, what exactly would they reveal? maybe an anime game? or maybe a collection of games from one of their IPs?
Please give me a Tekken or SoulCalibur collection, I'd love that
when it goes up I'm gonna skip to the end because I am a bastard
It's how we know Chibi-Robo! and Electroplankton won't be there.It’s a minor thing, but I’m still glad they dropped the Mini from the title. Feels more exciting without it.
No Pikmin by that logic too lolIt's how we know Chibi-Robo! and Electroplankton won't be there.
But you‘ll watch it with 2x speed.I’m watching from beginning to end. I won’t jump to the end.
Like 2 minutes into the Sep 22 Partner Mini I dragged the preview bar to the end and saw Morganawhen it goes up I'm gonna skip to the end because I am a bastard

I'd probably prefer MCC personally, but regardless either Infinite or MCC to finally get a boomer shooter FPS on Switch would be a godsend.Master Chief Collection would be more likely than Infinite imo
It's currently averaging like 5000 players a day on Steam.See, I suggest Infinite because it's live service, so it's constant money for Microsoft. And Nintendo, for that matter, whatever cut they get.
I will jump through entire Direct and in 2 minutes comment it was totally mid 4/10when it goes up I'm gonna skip to the end because I am a bastard

That happened in 2003 actually. This is only half joking, look at Billy's belt.So this is where we get that Sega-Nintendo Super Monkey Ball collaboration game, right?
I would think it's too early for that.I know Nate mentioned Banjo being green lit a while back. Don’t know if the game would be ready whatsoever, but just has the thought that it would be cool if a Banjo game was announced at a Direct. Would be a perfect place to do it, seeing as it would definitely be sold most to the Nintendo crowd.
However, I’m assuming it’s just going to be one or two of those games Phil mentioned the other day. The other day on the business update, he mentioned “We don’t want to announce the games now because the teams have plans to do soon.” - so this more than likely could be Hi Fi Rush? That would be a cool shadow drop.
It's not the first time Microsoft has given games to other platforms, Ori, Cuphead etc. Granted those were indies that "belonged" on Switch and HFR and Pentiment are somewhat bigger titles but given they've got indie vibes to an extent I don't feel like it's a surprise they would have dropped them in a direct without prior announcement.So Microsoft was just going to let the direct originally have the announcements and surprise everyone?

I'm thinking the April Direct is 100% a Mini. It has to be, right? There's no way we get a Partner Showcase, an Indieworld, and a General Direct in the span of a month. April is just a weird month to have a Direct in general.
I absolutely refuse to believe a new Banjo game is being made until I put eyes on it. I'm too old for that.
I mean in the end the situation isn' that different to when Ori and Cuphead came to Switch, so maybe they thought they could handle the situation the same way, but then the rumors started with talks about much bigger games going multiplat than is actually happening now.So Microsoft was just going to let the direct originally have the announcements and surprise everyone?

I am going to watch the Direct backwards and upside down. Checkmate.when it goes up I'm gonna skip to the end because I am a bastard
I'm gonna stay here and let you guys tell me what the highlights are, you're faster than the 2ms delay from the stream anyway.when it goes up I'm gonna skip to the end because I am a bastard
That's a good point on how long Nintendo will support Switch with new first-party titles. I always thought they would have smaller A and/or AA Switch games to prolong into the first year of Switch 2. But then the last few directs already felt like that huh haha. So we'll see how long they can keep that up. The next General will be tellingI can totally see what you're saying! Yeah, I agree it would be weird to have a larger General Direct before the console releases that only shows Nintendo Switch games but I do think maybe that's also reliant on what they do this June for next-generation! If the reveal is just a press-release and maybe a picture of the console, I think it'll be fine seeing Nintendo Switch games in September since we still won't ultimately know how much better everything looks until we get that first look, which could happen again in October I feel? If that First Look is in June though, I do agree that maybe the September Direct could be up in the air? Before the internal delay, they probably did plan to have one around the time of the console's release to highlight Next-Generation games but now that is probably not on the equation. Maybe they'll do a Mini around then instead of a General?
Ultimately I think a September Direct will probably rely on how much longer they intend to support the Switch from a first-party perspective! I mean, this will be the eighth full year (if I'm counting correctly) of Nintendo supporting the console so maybe they do more quickly move off the Switch from a first party perspective than we think, with Metroid Prime 4 maybe being the final Nintendo developed Switch game? We have the upcoming Pokémon Presents next week so we probably get something announced for Switch there (I think everyone, including myself, thinks it'll be what Nintendo's main anchor for the holiday will be) and then we'll probably get another Presents between June to August so a Direct in September probably wouldn't need to cover that Pokémon game!
Definitely agree. I remember watching the Last of Us 2 doc that released recently, and just making a single trailer for that game was a lengthy investment of time and manpower. Not something you can just whip together in two weeks. Plus the coordination involved with every team internally AND externally, I imagine it's quite the process. Would love to hear from someone who works on Directs to one day break down how they are produced!I would imagine they have the actual format (pacing, graphics, etc) pretty down pat.
What I would think would be significant time-investment would be:
-Game footage
-Voice-over
-Live action speakers localization
-Third-party announcements (getting assets/scripts from them).
It shouldn't take more than a few weeks to put all that together, but its getting the assets in the first place that would probably hold things up.
Additionally, coordination in post-direct marketing/retail listings would probably be a time sink too.
There hasn't, but I also can't think of a time where we've been in a scenario like this with the direct and the presents being announced essentially the same day due to the direct delay. I guess ultimately not as many people care about the presents as the direct so it's probably not a big deal, was just a thought that popped in so I thought I'd ask.I’ll pass this question up for discussion.
Personally asking, have leaks come out yet? Historically I don’t believe there has been demand for separate threads.
There have been supposed leaks but nothing concrete that could be seen as true.I’ll pass this question up for discussion.
