The Taiko no Tatsujin game looks like it could be two of the 3DS (or DS) Japan-only single player modes in one. I'd rebuy on Switch, they were great fun first time round.

There's no way this 11 minute video is what everyone was referring to as "something happening" this week.

PUYO PUYO TETRIS 2!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Whelp, there's your new direct.

I'm game for Puyo Puyo X Tetris 2, but not on Switch, the pro controller is abysmal for the fast paced tetris and the joycon isn't that much better. I imagine the multiplatform announcement is coming soon.

Everything else, I can pass on.


One issue with "multi-platform announcements" is the Tetris licensing... I have heard for a long while (and maybe incorrect with the introduction to Puyo Puyo Tetris on the Switch as a new entry), the Tetris licensing is restrictive to 1 console. Meaning if you have a Tetris licensing, only that game can be played on the console, until a new Tetris game is released. And then the old one is removed or something, I don't know.

Whatever at this point. Wake me up when they actually show major first party titles.

for a minute there I was wondering if it was going to be all music games, then it wasn't, then there was another music game later

finished, I loved this. Can't wait to chainsaw god to death in the Saga collection (not ever finishing the third one is a childhood regret of mine), the new Taiko RPG thing looks great, I never thought a sequel to Puyo Puyo Tetris, a game I bought 4 times (Imported Vita, Switch, PC, PS4) would happen, much less be announced as coming LATER THIS Year. Hell, that Kingdom Hearts game looks like the first Kingdom Hearts anything I've been interested in since I played 2 hours of the 3DS one for the World Ends With You content.

Unfortunately, with respect to July Partner Showcase, I'm not interested in any game shown in this one...

They are scrapping the bottom of the barrel to have something to put a video.

Only Crystal Chronicles & the football game thing for me in this thing. However, I'm not going to be upset on the internet about this because I am an adult and understand that Nintendo put out a multitude of videos across the year and I used my eyes to read this one which said PARTNER DIRECT and had my expectations set immediately.

The Taiko announcement was a great surprise - never thought those would come West

Welp...that one stung. But PPT2 is definitely up my alley, loved the first one. I guess it's possible that we're still getting something on Friday, but now I'm just expecting it to be the Mario stuff and nothing else.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2: Ultimate Puzzle Match Announced (PS4/XSX/XB1/Switch December 8, PS5 Holiday 2020, Steam TBA)

https://blog.playstation.com/2020/08/26/puyo-puyo-tetris-2-drops-onto-ps4-december-8-ps5-holiday-2020/

So it'll be PS4 for me, Dualshock is my preferred controller for Tetris due to it's D-Pad.

Last partner showcase ended on SMTV. I was watching this one hoping for something good at the end, at least, but nope...

Nah. If Nintendo had a broad and deep lineup announced, a stream with these announcements would still be a bad idea.

Doing it when all they've got on the docket is a Pikmin 3 port in two months time is asinine.

well there is a pandemic happening since 6 months back and that screws plans for everyone e

Pretty bad Direct for me. Did anyone really like this one?

I say this as someone that loved the last Partner Mini because of the SMT stingers at the end, but I didn't really see anything of even that caliber even for a franchise I'm not particularly into.

Lol amazing. This might have actually put a bigger smile on my face than if they actually announced a general direct.

For some reason I thought the "cut-away" sound effect used was different than normal. Sounded like Sonic's spindash, so I thought maybe we were getting some Sanic at the end...guess not.

Ahhh, nice to know.

I guess the Tetris licensing is just "licensing", nothing more than that.
