Were there any live action shenanigansSaw the Direct for the 15th. I will allow you all to ask me three questions.
Hmm, do other physical stores internationally have similar art for higher value eShop cards? (Last I checked locally we still only had the $A15/30/60 divisions with Mario, Peach, and Bowser)Courtesy of Lbabinz on Twitter, Best Buy Canada just put up a bunch of new branded eShop gift cards with new artwork and currency values:
These are dollar amounts that haven't existed before for eShop cards in Canada.

Does Cody finish the story?Saw the Direct for the 15th. I will allow you all to ask me three questions.
is fe4 there? i know youre probably shitposting but i made an account to ask this. im so very desperate.
Three questions for the collective.Is that three questions per individual or for the collective? Does that count as one of the questions? Does that make it two?
have you not heard? joy-cons are dead
Is that a joke or a Switch 2 leak? Would be kind of a bummer since some of my favorite Switch memories are tied to table top mode and having two player games just good to go with only having to bring the Switch itself.
I thank you kindly for your graciousness. May the heavens shield you from the ninjas.That's is all, everyone. You're welcome.
its never been more over for me.
I believe that is the case, yeahI don't remember. Does this thread get locked once the direct gets announced?
It does, UNLESS Pyoro starts leaking at which point this thread remains open as a spoiler containment thread.I don't remember. Does this thread get locked once the direct gets announced?
Chocolate Supra has the correct answer just above me (thanks Choco!). This thread gets closed on announcement or on shadowdrop unless Pyoro starts leaking at which case it remains open until the Direct finishes airing.I don't remember. Does this thread get locked once the direct gets announced?
Eh. I really don’t care about a reveal for something 6+ months out. I’d rather see a new game or two.So at this point Fami Fam, we need to be hoping the direct is a partners showcase , that way them revealing the next Switch will be more likely next month

I believe Take Two still has a remaster due out before the end of the fiscal year, but I'm not sure if they reconfirmed it today.I'm trying to guess what the opener and closer reveals can be. We no longer have an MH games, which tend to be a part of Partner Showcases, so whatever opens the Direct will be a brand new stuff. Asano's next title should be the opener and for closer, it needs to be something as big as 3 Persona ports we had in June 2022. And Persona ports were pretty big deal.
I'm thinking:
- GTA4-5 ports (5 single player only)
- Something from Microsoft (MCC finally?)
- Persona 3 Reload maybe?
- Something out of nowhere by Square. Chrono remake? FF13 trilogy? Final Fantasy Tactics A3? Kawazu's FFCC project he teased a few times?
Silksong would be pretty big, and the potential dates people are throwing around are almost exactly 5 years after the reveal.I'm trying to guess what the opener and closer reveals can be.

I don't think they talked about unannounced games this time. But yes, I've heard from my home country's Take Two distributor, there are few Switch (not the successor) titles coming from them in 2024, aside from NBA. Something's definitely coming.I believe Take Two still has a remaster due out before the end of the fiscal year, but I'm not sure if they reconfirmed it today.
Beyond Good and Evil seems like a good one tooI'm trying to guess what the opener and closer reveals can be.

Oh shit, that's right! It's supposed to get an actual reveal early 2024.Beyond Good and Evil seems like a good one too
Still don’t think it would be a true partner one, we’re due an NSO update/new n64/gba roadmaps
They already officially revealed the game it might not be there at all. Ubi could have that leaked Anno 1800 port but i don't think it could be a opener or closer.Beyond Good and Evil seems like a good one too
They didn't really reveal it, it got leaked out early and they had to acknowledge it. There's no trailer for it yet and I believe there's no official screenshots either.They already officially revealed the game it might not be there at all. Ubi could have that leaked Anno 1800 port but i don't think it could be a opener or closer.
I don't think it's big enough for a closing spot. I could see it being the opener though!do people think a Penny's Big Breakaway shadowdrop would be big enough to close on for a partner direct?
Because I definitely have a feeling that it's coming pretty soon; on a Giant Bomb show today, Jeff Grubb mentioned he'd been given a code for it, so it sounds like review codes are starting to circulate despite the game still not having a release date
My dream 3d mario game is an open world. The bowsers fury concept taken to the next level, with tons of levels and obstacles built right in to the world. But, I’d also be happy with a 3d land/ 3d world successor at some point too. Thats some of the most fun multiplayer gaming I’ve ever had even ten years later
What ever it is, I hope we get another bomb ass trailer like this
I've been hoping that since September. Save all the goods for the Switch 2 conference, even if it's cross-platform. Best to showcase all the games in the best light with the highest fidelity and smooth framerateSo at this point Fami Fam, we need to be hoping the direct is a partners showcase , that way them revealing the next Switch will be more likely next month

March was what people were saying last year, at the same event where Nintendo was showing the system off behind closed doors. And now we have multiple people saying they have even more sources saying March is it.Never thought i would ever type these words but if its revealed the next direct is a general and not a partners showcase then sad times for this board as we ponder if the March stuff is still correct
I know the logic was put forth and perhaps Nintendo does indeed see it that way ultimately, but I really don’t think a General or Mini Direct Vs Partner’s Direct has any bearing on a Switch 2 reveal in March. At absolute most maybe Peach is a factor, but if the system and games are ready to show they are ready to show.

A Direct won't change that. March has been it since before we were even tripping about this year's Direct.
Matter of fact, I'll bet my avatar on it.
Yall hear me??
If the Switch 2 isn't revealed in March
I'll change my happy lil Sonic plushie avatar
to a sad lil Sonic plushie avatar.
you heard me
I don't think it's that the hardware reveal rides or dies on a lack of upcoming games, I think the reveals of upcoming games are being held back to be shown off in their best form on Switch 2.Weren't the Switch 2 theorists saying there'd be a period of cross-gen games? Does the idea that a Switch 2 reveal rides or dies upon a perceived lack of upcoming games not directly contradicting the idea of a cross-gen period?

I really don't think the nature of this direct means anything less you believe any and all support from Nintendo for the Switch 1 will immediately die the second the Switch 2 is announced.
I don't think so. I think the idea isn't so much "no upcoming games = Switch 2 announcement imminent", but instead "Switch 2 announcement imminent = they'll wait a bit longer to announce upcoming games"Weren't the Switch 2 theorists saying there'd be a period of cross-gen games?

I like that combo on the $150 card. However, I wish Pauline were somewhere on there, too. Maybe she could be $200.Courtesy of Lbabinz on Twitter, Best Buy Canada just put up a bunch of new branded eShop gift cards with new artwork and currency values:

Or even simpler: Feb partner for 3rd party obligations, then announce Switch 2 in March alongside all the big 2024 games, similar to the Jan 2017 Switch Presentation.So like, instead of a general direct now, they could instead do a partner for 3rd party obligations, announce Switch 2 in March, and then do a mini(?) a little later that announces upcoming 1st party games
it's timeI just got done reapplying my clown makeup to give my one and only prediction for the Direct.
It will happen on the 14th. Valentine's Day. 5 years to the day since the announcement of Silksong.
New trailer. Game looks incredible, obviously.
Shadowdropped after the Direct. Boom. It's finally here.
that peach-daisy-rosalina-pauline $200 eshop card needs to have a gold backgroundI like that combo on the $150 card. However, I wish Pauline were somewhere on there, too. Maybe she could be $200.
only if nintendo makes it clear kirby's the goated platformer character from sakuraiI hope they never release a Kirby one with a really high value because I'd have to think about buying it.
When is itSaw the Direct for the 15th. I will allow you all to ask me three questions.
