Xenoblade X tomorrow

LET'S GOOOOOO

My sibling from another mother~

 

[shoptroll]

RIP spoiler free speculation thread, you were too good for this world

 

[Ahmed]

Xenoblade Chronicles 4
Splatoon 4
Fire Emblem 4 (Remake)
Metroid Prime 4
Kingdom Hearts 4
Half-Life 4

1-2-3-4(!!!) Switch

 

[oomoepoo]

Dreamcast NSO seems... kinda odd? Imho, Dreamcast games, much like Gamecube, still look decent enough for a relatively low-budget remaster (or something like the HAGI ports) rather than dumping them onto an online service

I wouldn't mind it but it feels unlikely

 

[bloopland33]

Is this thread leak-free?

Even if it is I may bow out since I see Nate’s podcast being discussed. I want to going into this Direct 100% blind if I can (would be the first time a while haha). Although I may have already ruined my purity skimming this page. So…95% blind

 

[HockeyBird]

Just remember that predictions are predictions and while they may be informed by some knowledge of things, Nate isn't on his podcast just reading a script of everything that will be in the presentation tomorrow. A lot of the things that Nate predicts are wrong or doesn't show up in a particular presentation. So declaring the Direct to be mid or bad based on what someone is predicting....doesn't seem very reasonable or smart.

And also don't get mad if someone predicts that a specific game will be there and it isn't.

 

[the_marmolade]

given how this is written and how quickly it was made im 90% sure this is AI slop and shouldnt be treated like an accurate summary

Nah most likely used the transcript YT tool just quickly read through whole video.

Edit: Nevermind yeah lmfao lot of this is out of context going by the transcript haha.

 

[Kreeth]

I can't believe the end is here, tomorrow, the final direct for the Switch!
I have no idea what will be there, just having fun reading predictions, but as an ex-video games store employee who was there to promote and launch the console, this is so freaking emotional!

 

[P4bl0]

given how this is written and how quickly it was made im 90% sure this is AI slop and shouldnt be treated like an accurate summary

It's the video's transcription turnt into a bullet points summary via a Chrome extension, go on and watch the 1 hour 30 mins video and let us know about it

 

[P4bl0]

What does that mean, Oracle remakes would be major af

"new major" Oracle isn't "new"

 

[ohlawd]

welp back to unignoring this

I hope none of you fuck up and post a leak when this thread's been changed to no spoilers

 

[Josh5890]

I'm not expecting anything spectacular. Keep in mind that this is an end of generation direct. If I vote 3 stars in @Guaraná's thread tomorrow, I consider that a great day.

 

[PeachyLaCox]

Gonna have to go into work an hour early just so I can watch the Direct at 15:30.

 

[Truno]

Spoiler: Nintendo will show games tomorrow.

Another old remake isn’t major. It’s just another remake and port to add the list of remakes, ports and remasters we’ve been getting

 

[the_marmolade]

Nate Predictions TLDR:

• Upcoming Nintendo Direct and Metroid Prime 4:
  • The upcoming Nintendo Direct is highly anticipated, especially for updates on Metroid Prime 4, expected in 2025.
  • This Direct could be the last one focused exclusively on the current Nintendo Switch before the Switch 2 announcement, potentially in March 2025.
  • Metroid Prime 2 remaster is also expected as a potential announcement.
• Third-Party and Indie Game Predictions:
  • New third-party titles include Fantasian from Square Enix, Lego Horizon from Sony, House of the Dead 2 remake by Forever Entertainment, Watch Dogs for Switch from Ubisoft, and Kena: Bridge of Spirits.

  • Potential first-party game releases include F-Zero GX remaster, a new Mario Party game, and Kirby: Planet Robobot from the 3DS.
  • Speculation about Zelda releases includes remakes of Oracle of Ages/Seasons, though no major new Zelda game is expected soon.
  • Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War remake is another possibility.
  • The addition of baseball to Switch Sports is hoped for as a new event.
• NSO and Future Hardware:
  • An NSO update might introduce new hardware like the Nintendo DS or Sega Dreamcast to the service.
  • Expected game releases on NSO include Perfect Dark and Diddy Kong Racing.
  • Sega's Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 were also mentioned as potential Dreamcast games for NSO.
• Surprise Announcements and Long-Awaited Titles:

Mods can we not allow AI summarize of videos please, they clearly got this from here:

[NamelessGB]

Please no more Kirby, give it a rest until Switch 2

Kirby is better than most Nintendo franchises

And it's not like a 3DS remaster needs the power of next-gen hardware. I say bring more Kirby games

Maybe he’ll get in trouble for still using AI

 

[Edengamer23]

Ive been hyped for a Direct for a while but feel like this could be underwhelming. Keeping my hopes up and just going in expecting it to be a decent show probably at least, and fun to watch. They normally pace their directs well except a few of them, like September 2022

 

[Mirev]

PREDICTIONS TIME!

• OPENING: Fire Emblem "ECHOES": Geneaology of the Holy War (september 2024)
• MID ANNOUNCEMENTS: Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition (october); Zelda WW + TP HD (october)
• ENDING: Metroid Prime 4 (november 2024)
• One more thing: Donkey Kong (2025)

I would be good with that, especially those last two

I dont care much for WW/TPHD anymore as I can already play them anytime but still will be nice to see them, they really need all 3D Zeldas on switch tbh

I’m keeping my expectations low. Fire Emblem remake starts and Zelda Oracle remakes close the direct. Maybe Mario party and Kirby port

 

[Mekanos]

Metroid Prime 4 is gonna be the closer.

I wonder how many times people have said this over the years

 

[Edengamer23]

That sounds great to me already, but then again ill take any direct lol

That'd be a winner in my book.

Me too, I really don't care about WW/TP, I want older games remake or totally new ones!

 

[TreIII]

Motion to rename him as "Nathy Drakey"?

Motion to remove AI bullshit from the internet instead

 

[Gamer_G]

Whenever y’all are done with Nate’s predictions… maybe u can watch mine:’3

 

[aMarioFan64]

Motion to remove AI bullshit from the internet instead

I second this.

 

[Prophet64]

Time to delete my internet apps for roughly 24 hours.

 

[Link_enfant]

Nate Predictions TLDR:

• Games

Shortened the quote for readability, but why March 2025 for potential hardware announcement?
Does he mean at the latest?

Also I can’t see Zelda Oracle remakes happen, or they wouldn’t have released them on NSO not so long ago.

Video summary isn't forbidden nor in the rules, and no it's not from this 3rd party site, don't assume things. It's in the transcript generated by Youtube.


Enjoy

Mod Edit: Youtube summary removed. Please do not post entire transcripts.

This'd be a good time to take a day trip, actually

 

[DoctorPlayer MD]

40 minutes? That's enough time for like, 10 remakes, the park expansion reveal, a Legends ZA trailer and a new Donkey Kong game reveal (not enough time for Metroid Prime, sorry)

 

[Hauke_von_Arding]

I would actually sad about a Xenoblade X remake shortly before the Switch 2. At this point safe it for the Switch 2 for an even more impressive upgrade.

 

[the_marmolade]

Enjoy

So you saying it took you about 5 mins to read through all that transcript and bullet points key points without giving context sure bud.

Also, it takes times to generate AI summarize YT video but that one didn't need to generate, hmm.

 

[NintenDuvo]

Another old remake isn’t major. It’s just another remake and port to add the list of remakes, ports and remasters we’ve been getting

has that dumb bird said anything, need to know if i need to dodge youtube videos?

 

[Goht]

I'm sure the Chrome extension just feeds Youtube closed captioning into an LLM and spits out the result. That's like 60% of software development right now.

 

[totofogo]

Bless NVC and MVG for having the predictions podcast out and thus continues my tradition and sanity the day before

(tho I just finished the SEGA section and there was no mention of monkey ball... D:< )

 

[Irene]

Any chance for Decapolice, or is that saved for Level 5 alongside Fantasy Life and Layton?

 

[EvilChameleon]

RIP spoiler free speculation thread, you were too good for this world

Glad I was able to finish Super Password before it got yeeted.

This is literally all I want. Anything else on top is gravy.

Words cannot describe how good Xenoblade Chronicles X is. You all need to play it.

 

[TreIII]

Cool.

Still sneaking "Nathy Drakey" in as an ammendment to the bill, though~!

This would really be one of the best directs of all time.

 

[9-Volt]

I'm guessing it's delayed to 2025. We have Fantasy Life dated for October and Inazuma Eleven is currently missing. It's gonna be some long time before we see Decapolice in the flesh again.
