Nintendo Switch #5

Did we not just have one of these? Has it already been that long since the Mario Wonder announcement direct.... time flies.

That was for just Mario Wonder. This is for like... everything else.

I was thinking the one before the Mario Wonder specific one. The direct where we got Wonder, Mario RPG, etc.

That was in June.

Man summer went by quick.

I got a feeling there will be a surprise announcement tomorrow. Something is going to come from left field

 

[TheDoldrums]

are we allowed to talk about the rumours? A fairly credible twitter account has said a couple big IP's will be featured

something I will say since I think it's less certain and more vague, I've heard whispers of an update for Smash. Could just be adding additional amibo support but Smash 4 got a final patch after they had already said it was finished where they tried and failed to properly nerf Bayo. Pls Nintendo it's not too late to nerf Steve and others! Fighters Pass 2 was not properly tested in the offline meta enough because of Covid, save us Sakurai.

I saw a rumour of a certain older IP getting a game for the first time in a long while. Felt too good to be true.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

There's a track record with said individual and we'll certainly know by tomorrow if it still holds true.

The thing about said rumours is that they're specific enough yet vague to truly discern what's happening. Like in the case of say, that one racing franchise that isn't Mario Kart, it could be a brand new game, but more likely it's a remaster of an old game or a small budget project like the ones Kirby always gets.

Give us a new Star Fox game

 

[robertmac43]

Give us a new Star Fox game

That would be really cool. Would also be down to see F zero, Metroid 2 & 3 remake, another Dread style game..... Lot's of potential for something cool

 

[Jovavic]

I'm going to go with a remake of a portable Zelda game like A Link Between Worlds or Minish Cap, a la Link's Awakening

That would be interesting. I wouldn't be entirely surprised to see Wind Waker HD from the Wii U come over to Switch. Feels like easy money for Nintendo.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Give me Donkey Kong!

edit - nevermind, not that donkey kong lol.

Do you want to just say what game?

 

[robertmac43]

Got a feeling these new Mario RPG mechanics will make the battles feel a little too easy.

Do you want to just say what game?

I don't want to spoil and tbh I don't think the rumours will be true.

Well, the are true! F-Zero 99!

EDIT: Shadowdropping today.

 

[robertmac43]

So the game I saw rumours of was F1 Zero, this battle royal was not what I was expecting.

 

[robertmac43]

Ohhh some more Wargroove, underrated game. Will definitely be checking that one out.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Thousand Year Door remake!!!

Mario fans absolutely FEASTING right now:

• Mario Wonder
• Mario RPG remake
• WarioWare Move It
• Mario Kart Wave 6
• Mario vs. Donkey Kong remake
• Princess Peach Showtime
• Luigi's Mansion 2 (Dark Moon) HD
• Paper Mario TTYD remake

 

[robertmac43]

Thousand Year Door is a great add. I wish we were getting something new though. Lot's of remakes these days.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Solid direct, TTYD is good. Nothing like super amazing but some good stuff.

 

[syz]

There's that new Vanillaware game I was expecting a few months ago.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I was pretty disappointed to be honest.

They really brushed right over Super Mario RPG too, like someone else said, I hope this game isn't going to be massively easy which it seems like it might. I was so young when it first game came out so I don't remember how easy it was.

Paper Mario is the only other game I was excited for.

 

[Oogie Boogie]

Really solid Nintendo Direct. Good things to look forward to.

 

[TheDoldrums]

I'm a little disappointed since F-zero and Donkey Kong were rumoured, was hoping for different things with those. Never played any Mario RPG's so those getting all the attention lately doesn't do much for me.

 

[Jovavic]

Got a date for Eiyuden Chronicles, at least
