StarTopic [Spoilers Allowed] Nintendo Direct Speculation |ST8| Press Your (Nintendo Direct) Luck! [Read Staff Post]

[Ozzie]

So DQ HD 2D in mid November this year? I hope FE4 Remake doesn't release near it lol.

 

[lol]

the reason pyoro isnt really leaking anything big is cuz he doesnt wanna break the news to people that

opener: among us
mid section: fall guys
closer: fe4r

 

[ITSMILNER]

Honestly, Twilight Princess HD and some Metroid would be enough for me.

 

[Leo]

Imagine if someone asks Pyoro if there's Zelda at the Direct and he responds with "I don't know, I'm not an oracle"

 

[Anxious Absol]

I have two predictions:

1. The Direct will not meet everyone's astronomical expectations.

2. It will still be pretty good.

 

[BloodMoon]

If you only like Zelda, that'd be a horrendous direct ftfy

I mean, you’re right it would.

As someone who likes Prime (but not FE) I’d be excited to get more, but that’s a lot of Metroid.

(I understand the irony of me begging for 2 or more Zelda games for the last few directs, don’t worry)

Personally, I’d be more excited for Metroid 6 over Prime 2/3, but I strongly believe that Nintendo should be working to have their full back catalogue of games available across the Switch systems, so think they should be made available either through NSO, ports or remakes.

 

[nikdogged]

my only expectation is FE4. so ive been disappointed by every direct after 2019 </3

 

[Kingdra91]

I expect at least a Donkey Kong Country Returns remaster. Not having anything DK related would be disastrous. Imagine little Hiroshi's parents take him to Donkey Kong Country at Super Nintendo World. He enjoys spending time in DK's world so much that he wants to take the experience home with him. His only options are:

1) A full-priced port of Tropical Freeze from six years ago, a game where you don't even get to visit Donkey Kong Island in a normal, unfrozen state.
2) The DKC games on NSO, which not only require a subscription, but feature a completely different aesthetic than the one the theme park expansion is based on.

The sad thing is that I can genuinely imagine Nintendo not giving us anything dk related at all

 

[Sin & Punishment]

Fantasian will be published by Square Enix

Poetic

You know what would be the coolest “rush it to fill up some space” game Nintendo could announce?

Dragalia Lost.

I would literally cry on stream.

That game was surprisingly good. I'd love a repurposed, offline version for Switch.

 

[rickyson33]

i'm genuinely confused how so many people got Fire Emblem out of that post

all of a sudden the game of telephone we sometimes see with leaks makes so much more sense

Source?

Second prediction time, but only WILD CARDS

• OPENING: Ever Oasis Remake
• MID ANNOUNCEMENTS: CODENAME: STEAM remastered; Star Fox ZERO; Kid Icarus Uprising;
• ENDING: F-ZERO GX
• One more thing: Golden Sun Remake

 

[CoralSensei4]

If PapaGenos said that Prime 4 is targeting this year I think that's a good sign considering he was the first one to leak the Prime Remastered shadow drop...

 

[Guaraná]

hoping for the best (bakugan direct), expecting the worst (metroid prime 4 shadow dropped).

 

[Giancarlo]

Hey... I like his optimism of thinking Prime 4 is actually seen as a big deal for Nintendo, also let's not call people R******, it's only speculation at the end of the day.

But, it would be baller, if Prime 4 would be a pack in title for the Switch 2, Similar to Metroid Prime Hunters.

i will believe Nintendo will show Metroid Prime 4 tommorow, if is rain blood, meaning this game alongside Hollow knight Silksong is a collective delirum.

 

[Bullwine85]

Something I have discovered that Niji hayashi (one of the FEH artists) retweeted this:

Could Niji hayashi be the main artist behind the FE4 remake?

They retweeted the last Direct as well, so as much as I'd love to think of this as smoke, I'm not seeing anything in particular.

 

[JazzyFuture]

Second prediction time, but only WILD CARDS

• OPENING: Ever Oasis Remake
• MID ANNOUNCEMENTS: CODENAME: STEAM remastered; Star Fox ZERO; Kid Icarus Uprising;
• ENDING: F-ZERO GX
• One more thing: Golden Sun Remake

Hey, Kid Icarus Uprising wouldn't be "mid"

 

[Mr.Bones]

Any chances of a Pacman World 2 Remaster? copium full blast

How dare you call Kid Icarus mid

(I know what you meant)

Edit: I'm too slow for this. I quit.

 

[touchfuzzy]

Put me on team "Way more excited for Dragon Quest remakes than Fire Emblem remakes"

 

[lol]

They retweeted the last Direct as well, so as much as I'd love to think of this as smoke, I'm not seeing anything in particular.

It's definitely not smoke, quite a few FEH artists tend to retweet direct announcements because they're excited to see what may be announced.

 

[SpaceGodzilla]

i think people need to realize Nintendo employees retweeting a Nintendo Direct isn't t as big of a hint as they think it is

 

[Pillydillsy]

Start: FE4
Middle focus: Mario Party
Ending: Prime 2 and 3
One more thing: Prime 4

 

[Kaka]

They retweeted the last Direct as well, so as much as I'd love to think of this as smoke, I'm not seeing anything in particular.

Maybe everytime a Direct is announced she hopes the FE game she worked on years ago and that Nintendo is sitting on will finally be announced lol

 

[nikdogged]

your cope is too strong

 

[hannibunny2411]

lmao nevermind, just found out the date. It’s this year.

Damn that was a short rollercoaster ride you just gave me.

 

[Rainy]

Dream is dead again. Goodbye FE4 Remake.

 

[tuskoub]

lmao nevermind, just found out the date. It’s this year.

SOMEONE PINCH ME IM DREAMIMG

 

[Mekanos]

A KIU remaster would almost make up for no Donkey Kong

 

[Brazil]

Trilogy or nah?

Just 3. Unless they’re really hiding something under their sleeves.

 

[nikdogged]

SOMEONE PINCH ME IM DREAMIMG

youre a bit late on the draw. brazil just said this is about dq3 hd2d. sorry

 

[Magic-Man]

A KIU remaster would almost make up for no Donkey Kong

Well we're getting neither so suffering is still on the menu

 

[Neves]

Man, I really hope the reason Pyoro hasn't tweeted anything is because he doesn't know and not because he's teasing us and will leak everything just a few hours before the show (or worse yet, he knows and thinks there's nothing worthwhile )

 

[antibunt]

Wasn't the FE remake confirmed already along with the toothpaste-chan leak?

 

[lol]

Still, as much as I'm not optimistic about FE4 showing up tomorrow-- I'd be very confused if it didn't. If it's finished, what's stopping it from being revealed now if it's supposedly being sat on? This year is pretty barren.

 

[the_marmolade]

Just 3. Unless they’re really hiding something under their sleeves.

Someone broke the embargo, lol.

 

[JazzyFuture]

Man, I really hope the reason Pyoro hasn't tweeted anything is because he doesn't know and not because he's teasing us and will leak everything just a few hours before the show (or worse yet, he knows and thinks there's nothing worthwhile )

If it's any consolation, Sylux has started tweeting pretty frequently just now.

 

[mazi]

I’m actually guessing on MP2+3 showing up. They were being worked on before MP Remastered became a more ambitious project and no reason to stop there. Perfect lead up before a cross-gen MP4 in 2025. TP and WW I believe will at this point not be a rehash of the TP+WW HD Wii U release on the current Switch. They’ll launch on the successor as a TP + WW 4K showcase.

you're back!

 

[ZaWams]

Not even an hour.

This Direct is about to be peak, also it's crazy how the Switch will have 3 fire emblem games, now that's a consistent output.

He’s referring to DQ 3 HD-2D isn’t he?

 

[Bayonutter]

So Sylux is just randomly posting right now. Oh no! Oh gawd, please no!

 

[Rainy]

Wasn't the FE remake confirmed already along with the toothpaste-chan leak?

I thought the rumor came from Emily Rogers and the whole codename thing for the games. Since there was a number skipped going from TH to Engage. Besides that everyone else had heard about it a long time ago with nothing in the last year.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Did any Retro employees tweet the direct?

 

[nikdogged]

that whole fe4 mixup has me so deflated and disappointed. probably never seeing that damn game man

 

[tuskoub]

youre a bit late on the draw. brazil just said this is about dq3 hd2d. sorry

I still love DQ very much as well but I got really excited for a sec LOL

 

[lol]

I thought the rumor came from Emily Rogers and the whole codename thing for the games. Since there was a number skipped going from TH to Engage. Besides that everyone else had heard about it a long time ago with nothing in the last year.

IIRC, Emily Rogers described what the next mainline entry was like (Engage) and that was corroborated by a random stranger who went to /r/FireEmblem a day later and posted leaked screenshots of Engage accompanied with details-- most (all?) of what they said about Engage was correct. Among the things mentioned, they claimed that the rumours of an FE4 remake being in development were true.

 

[oldpuck]

Tbh to get this kind of stuff right he either has some source at the marketing of NoA or Retro?

QA has been a serious source of leaks in the past.

 

[pokematt]

Imagine if they did a full graphical remake of the first three Donkey Kong Country games and added new content to each one. Just a random idea I want to happen. Also I guess they could remaster Returns while they’re at it. Fuck it, just release all the Donkey Kongs please. Make the whole direct about Donkey Kong.

 

[ZaWams]

I mean this looks like the first time Sylux retweeted a direct announcement. It most likely means nothing but I’ll take that as 100% confirmation of MP4

 

[Rainy]

IIRC, Emily Rogers described what the next mainline entry was like (Engage) and that was corroborated by a random stranger who went to /r/FireEmblem a day later who posted leaked screenshots and gave more details on the upcoming game-- most (all?) of what they said was correct, including the title. Among the things mentioned, they claimed that the rumours of an FE4 remake being in development were true.

Thanks for the correction, I remember that now!
