I feel like Dark Cloud should be referenced in the title somehow

I saw someone suggest "dark clouds turn to SunShine" which would be good.

If the Switch somehow did get a surprise EA port, it better not be Mirrors Edge. It better be Titanfall 2.

Nintendo 3 years ago: We're gonna have a Direct in 3 days, hope that's enough time to prepare!

Nintendo in the last ~2 years: We're gonna have a Direct tomorrow, better get ready!

Nintendo now: We're gonna have a Direct in 10 hours, fuck your plans.

In 2 more years they're gonna announce the Direct 3 days after it airs.

crazy prediction for direct: F zero...battle royal, 150 drivers followed by a wave of destruction that slowly picks off the players at the back of the pack.

I was so focused on the PS5 pre-order hype thread that crashed and burned as well as the upcoming Xbox event that I completely forgot about a potential Direct this week.

LET'S GOOOOOO

There's gonna be a Direct this week, right? Right?

if the grain of salt info is true and the direct actually *is* pre-announced and thus probably has a livestream, that would be hype as hell

Just in case of no announcement or if you're disappointed in the direct (or god forbid, no Direct) I'm gonna repost my post from the last thread which people seemed to like:


You guys need to treat this thread like I do. It's a place to hang out with friends and make shitposts and comment on Dark Cloud never having an avatar and Raccoon pretending really well to be an actual raccoon even when somewhere deep down we all know he's not really a raccoon.

This is a community thread where people with common interests just hang out and chill. When you start to invest too much in announcements or rumors or leaks then it can start to get a bit dicey and a bit toxic.

I find the actual camaraderie here faaaaar more important and engaging than the Nintendo stuff. To be honest once the Direct is actually announced it gets way less fun to chat in here with you folks.

My new expectations for the most likely Mini :

-Mario collection
-Mario Party
-Life is strange
-SM3DW
-Some first party announcement
-Another third party game probably Doom Eternal
-Metroid Prime trilogy or a 2D one

We probably won't have any Zelda game this year and i don't expect to see Botw 2 in this direct at all. Nor Bayonetta 3 or MP4. Next one i guess :ah:
They could have such a gigantic show and flex so hard in times of need rn with Next gen but i feel like that won't ever happen.

I am ready to scream "FUCK YOU!" at my scream like the dude from the other thread did. Hopefully it is a happy and pleased F*** Y rather than a bad, angry, disappointed one LMAO

Predictions

F-Zero but it's a Kart racer that's exclusive to NSO

Golden Sun Remake, but instead of turn based combat, battles are done via 1v1 combat where each character uses elongated arms

Splatoon spinoff but it's a 2.5D metroidvania called WHOOMY

Metroid V is now a animal grooming game where Samus must tend to and raise a farm of Metroids

and the one more thing is...Anomua announces BOTW 2 is now rebooted to BOTW 3 and the second game was the journey all along
