Cliché and of poor taste perhaps, "racist" is such a reach.
I mean Dragon Quest in Japan has the same status in Japan as the most popular western franchises have in the west. Its a big deal. Of course not every Japanese love Dragon Quest, like every western gamer doesn't love GTA.
Oh, dear, you just made me realize something... we're going to get the "There's no way this is running on Switch; is this Switch 2 footage?" thing for every game announced during this Direct that doesn't look like an upscaled Vita game, are we?I mean, they can announce some stealth cross-gen game that "looks too good for Switch" and for once this will be a true statement
But we don’t have High expectations from Nintendo since it’s the end of the gen. The Switch 2 presentation will be high as can be expectations
The US is the most important market for Xbox by far, and they have been slowing down vs Playstation in the US, which is a nightmare scenario for them. Meaning they will put focus on games they think will make them competitive in the US now more than ever before. And that means stuff like Doom and Gears of war, not JRPGs.Not really sure why we compare the Xbox Showcase vs whatever happens in the Nintendo direct, it's entirely different situations.
There was a lot of high profile content in the Xbox showcase, but it was also selling promises.. for the 4th year running and that's honestly starting to get real old with Microsoft this gen. The vast majority of games they showed was either 2025 or no date at all. That's just not great this far in to the generation.
If everything do drop in 2025 though, they'll have a pretty great year next year!
I was extremely surprised by the lack of Visions of mana (or japanese publishers as a whole really) in the showcase, I was sure it was gonna show up after not being at the game fest.
Would be hilarious if they added a Switch version and announced the date in the june direct lol
Directs with 3+ first time revealed Nintendo published titles the last few years
Sep 2023 - 3
Jun 2023 - 6 (7 if we include Detective Pikachu which was only announced via PR some years ago prior)
Feb 2022 - 5
Jun 2021 - 4
Feb 2021 - 7
I'm expecting similar to last June direct, the situations was very similar as to how they are right now - and since we havnt seen anything Metroid Prime since the reveal, I'm gonna count that as a new reveal if it shows up
100% on board with the Goemon Direct. All other franchises stand aside: it's IMPACT time.
She’d be right to think so!
If Metroid Prime 4 releases in 2024 it will have a legit shot at winning GOTY at TGA.
Its pretty much because Pyoro haven't started teasing anything that people have ruled out next week for the Nintendo direct.
Midori's opinions regarding what qualifies as peak are not necessarily representative of the country in which she resides. We know she likes RPGs because she posts about them, but maybe she's thinking of something else
Hmm I’m not sure I wanna rely entirely on one leaker to rule a week out, that’s also just kinda boring.
valak mountain ice physics for a whole game lol
But will we be able to climb them?
Low. I'm getting the feeling its simply not ready.
I'm imagining '80s pop songs in a trailer for a Metroid game and it's making me uncomfortable.
Feb 2022 first party first time reveals:
Yeah, I do have a feelings this will be comparing apples to oranges.
Yep. I think peak is referring to something like a codename or a game she is personally excited for.
I think hardware and first party will meet most expectations. Third party has the highest chance to disappoint given that many expect stuff like GTA 6 to appear.
I'm expecting the 13th until midnight GMT on the 14th.
Its probably not this week, Pyoro would have said something by now
Yeah pretty much, it’s never really a surprise when a Direct gets announced these days, we always have plenty of people reporting and teasing that it’s happening the moment (or sometimes even before) the week starts.
