Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT5| Hello darkness my old friend...

Jason is a good journalist, but I doubt he knows anything Atlus unless projects are already in localization.
Most Japanese games don't get leaked at all, but until people in the west get to see stuff.
User Warned: Antagonizing Another User
I wonder if we should ask Mr. Schreier to say that Bayonetta 2 and 3 are and will stay Nintendo exclusives? You know ... because she sees it as absolute then. ;D
It's no wonder a new MK will post astronomically high sales. However it would very not-Nintendo to release a new online multiplayer game just 2 years after the first one.
If their intentions were to fill a void until the main game was to be released, then it backfired, both badly and greatly.
Badly because they can't release a new game now that almost 25M people own the game and actively play it. But greatly because it's a smashing success that not even the most optimistic would have predicted.
What if DLC can be bought with my nintendo silver coins and you can win silver coins doing achievement like stuff in the game?
sorry too crazy even for this thread
I mean,almost every rumored game this year is either single-player or local multiplayer focused. No massively online games so far.
Opinions are what people think, stormtrooper. Just because aim is difficult, doesn't mean you have to shoot down others ;D
It's definitely possible, and two years ago I may have even said likely, but it's been long enough that it wouldn't be shocking if they moved on at this point.
I think Jason knows more than he leads on because he reveals the most obscure stories. I wouldn't ever doubt what he knows and he definitely has his foot in every region. He's revealed big Japanese stories too. It's up to you to believe him or not, so there's always that luxury, but I personally have no reason to doubt him.
if we only got Rumored Games all year I'd be extremely surprised
What kind of steroids do you feed that thing? Its the size of a small deerWhere did the sudden explosion of confidence in a Direct happening next week come from?
Recent comments and poll results seemed to come out of nowhere. Digging several pages back and I can't find anything. Not being cynical, just trying to check my hype!
This is my bunny Clover (also in my avatar):
Yeah, he has sources for sure, I mean it's his job, but I can't really see them reach far into Japan.
Atlus games also get localized after release in Japan as opposed to anything Nintendo or other bigger publishers, so there's also no real need for people in the west to know anything until then.
Many of the leaks we get are from localization.
Didn't people from China leak that there were no Gyms in Pokemon Sun & Moon months before they released because of the Chineses localization?
He just wants people to keep their cool and not overhype things, aas there is no definite proof yet, just speculation.
Hey Jason, please explain what the hell happened at Retro Studios please and thank you.
Nobody is saying anything against Jason's journalistic skills.
But he admits himself that what he's saying about Atlus isn't based on anything he knows. Same like when Zippo speculated on something last time and people thinking he was leaking things.

Are those Persona Central headlines jumping ahead? Yeah. At least they gave a reasoning for that, how likely or not i don't know.
Does this mean P5 Switch is not happening like Jason said? As of now, yes.
Does this mean that Atlus might or might not think about it and just might use those surveys to gather information about that whole stuff? I think nobody can say anything definitiv outside of the suits at Atlus.
Oh, i will try to remember. But i can't promise to stop shooting down others opinion if these are based on nothing but personal wishing and actually opposing pretty much official statements from developers.
After all, even a stormtrooper has to hit sometimes.

My dream Direct...
has more Square games like Valkyrie Profile Lenneth/Silmeria, Xenogears and Chrono Cross, Falcom/NIS Switch ports, End of Eternity, Shining Force 3, Eternal Arcadia and PSO(dc/gc) from Sega, Suikoden 1 to 3, Baten Kaitos 1, 2 and Xenosaga games, Breath of Fire 3, 4, 5.
Nier 1 remadestered and Automata.
SMT5.
New Valkyrie Profile, new Chrono, new Baten Kaitos, new Eternal Arcadia...
Xenoblade X DE, Xenoblade X2 and a Xenoblade 3 following 1 style, not 2. No boring story relations between every games.
A Botw like Zelda using the "2D" ones as an example but making the open world a bit more realistic (scenery transition).
A nice Mario golf with story, online multi and mini golf.
Good surprises, even if not the types of games I love.
And of course, a date for Hollow Knight hypesong.

Whatever. Atlus is busy milking Persona 5 and starting thinking about preprod on SMTV.
Ports of older games on switch will happen A year into the next system life.

Then you need to look up the definition of an opinion, friend. Because it's what someone thinks and they cannot be wrong. You are free to think otherwise, of course, but you cannot tell or dictate them what to or not to do because that's inappropriate. If something starts conflict for no reason, know it will come back. No reason for it, however so better to make peace. I like Star Wars anyway.
This is all that matters. A miracle year for me would be reviving the IP on Switch - incredibly unlikely, but it's what I want more than anything for the system.
Honestly, if the Direct just showcases Pikmin, Paper Mario, more AC and one more surprise, I'd consider it one of the top Directs for me(in the Switch era). Currently September 2018 still holds that title, but AC gameplay and Pikmin(port or not), is enough to win me over.
His word really isn't worth more than any of our words here in this case.
Not gonna lie, any sort of expose into Retro would probably be my favorite piece of games journalism in a very, very long time. I'd even prefer hearing what happened there over getting an actual Direct, blasphemous as that may sound.
Mario Kart 9 would actually be 3.5+ years after MK8D. There's also no reason they couldn't release a new one.
People keep explaining and rexplaining the reasons why but no one has been able to provide a single valable counterargument and instead prefer to pretend there's no reasons. Which is why these discussions keep happening again and again.
Not on Switch and that's what counts. It's been less than 2 years since it launched. No way they are announcing a new one when the current game is the fastest selling title on the platform and people are playing it in hordes.
Cheono Cross got released near FF8 if my memory is right and... got buried in the desert like E.T.
I LOVED the game much, muuuuch more than FF8.
Seeing the fate of both series after was quite... something : /.
Let's hope. Trials of Mana came back out of nowhere after all : ).
Let me get this straight. People think it's too late for DLC because it's been a while, but it's too early for MK9 because of sales? Y'all are nuts.
I don't recall anyone stating those 2 in a single argument.
Some users have brought it up in their posts. A lot of people think Mario Kart is done on the Switch.
Well, MK8 is technically a Wii U game expanded so 2020 would make sense for MK9. I can see it happening. MK8 sold well so who knows, but it could also be another racing game.
Reasons why it couldn't happen? Those "reasons" come down to sales, and the single fact of the matter is MK8D + Mario Kart 9 would sell better than MK8D + literally any other title they could be developing, while also offering the opportunity for lucrative seasons of DLC and the ability to push their online service even more.
It's been 34 months since Mario Kart 8 Deluxe came out. Just shy of 3 years Any Mario Kart 9 announced now would probably come out in 9-15 months. That's 3 and a half to 4 years.
Persona on Switch will happen.
It won't be this year or next. It may not be Persona 5. But mainline numbered Persona on Switch is happening.

I need a Persona 4 Golden port. Because there is literally no way for me to play that game.
My thoughts are if they were ever planning it on Switch, then it's coming. If they never planned it in the first place then it won't. It just grinds my gears that there's people who are 100% convinced that a MK9 on Switch is impossible.
Well, in the past, in Persona 3, there was also transphobia so... They are generally very kind with the LGBT community -.-'
13th. The 11th is a holiday in Japan so they can't announce it on that day, so the 12th is out of the picture.
I wouldn't put much stock into that Atlus survey
I would be very surprised if any mainline Persona game comes to Switch

This tweet works so well with the whole "Platinum wants to self-publish Bayonetta" - thing.
