He's way better off lurking than dropping hints. Too many people jumping on things he says assuming their hints, or criticizing any actual hints that didn't pan out exactly as he'd said - 2020 was a hell of a year for shifting dates and plans behind the scenes.
Looks like blackout roller blinds.
Hop and Leon are possibly mixed race, you can see their family in game, but they could also just be black, or from other ethnicities with darker skin. Their familys skin tone varies a lot, though, with some very dark to some lighter. But there are some things used throughout that made me think they also might be Latin American, I should say and not necessarily Brazilian specifically. Hop's Final Battle theme specifically has a huge Latin American influence in it and I don't think that was for nothing.
Just saying we have a new Metroid game out next month sounds weird. I still haven't fully processed it.
I suppose so, if even Dolphin only recently sorted some graphical glitch with RE4 and Star Wars Rogue Squadron a few months ago, I guess it'll be trickier for Nintendo with more limited hardware despite having access to source codes.
I just...don't understand how Wii U would have so willingly given up the chance for Gamecube emulation/ISOs/ROM files if the hardware was capable of running it natively. Maybe if the console was more successful there would have been stronger efforts to make the VC more inclusive of consoles and games available on GC that now couldn't have been played, especially with the opportunity to sell more plastic accessories than just what Smash 4 could have offered alone. At least it wouldn't feel like the entire Gamecube library is being snuffed out
Having access to the source code is huge, which is why Nintendo's emulators tend to leapfrog long running emulators or catch up quickly despite much shorter development times.
You can look at the DSi to see how willing Nintendo was to easily give up (GBA) BC.
I don't even know what's worse, me a person of color forgetting that those characters exist, or the game being so forgettable that I didn't remember they were in that game.
You forgot the Champion and the rival character? Like, sure the game doesn't have the most memorable plot (except in how ludicrously stupid the finale gets) but I'd think if you remembered any character it would be one of those two
I know right? Only 37 days away! Just around the corner at this point.
I was able to beat the game within a day or two and that was when I felt like crap, deep in the thick of it with COVID-19, and the plot was so light and not engaging from what I recall that I didn't really remember much of the game outside of the Wild Area and the Pokemon like Frosmoth.
I do remember Magnolia though, now that I think about it. But only because she looks exactly like my grandmother.
It's the one plot I can't really remember too well from a mainline pokemon game, and I played them all
I love card base games.
digimon World 3 had a card game that was pretty simple but it was my favorite part of that game cause it meant collecting cards and play different opponents with their own strategy. Tho in that case, the game Wasn't random, the opponent would always draw the same cards and make the same moves when ever you faced them. So it doesn't have much replay value.
also I woke up from a nap. Naps are good

Even old Nintendo rarely did that. Outside of Animal Crossing, I think it was just Zero Mission and uhhh well sometimes you had Mario Bros in certain games.
The only thing that gives me some kind of hope is the updated Fusion images that were shown in one of the trailers and the Dread Report. They were basically higher quality images from the intro of Fusion as well as one of the SA-X, tho I guess these could just be just for marketing or even just shown in the intro of Dread as sort of a recap of the previous mission.
Imma get dragged for this (and I truly hope I'm wrong), but something I've thought about for a couple of days... does Nintendo need a Direct right now?
The rest of the year is pretty well laid out. We really just need some more details on Advace Wars ReBoot Camp. We already have a healthy amount of 2022 games announced. I feel like at this point, if there is a Direct, it will be extremely 3rd-Party focused.

Nintendo doesn't really have anything for early 2022 announced yet outside of Legends. Which is a big game, but there's still room to have other stuff and Nintendo tends to have a variety of games for each section of the year. BOTW2 isn't early 2022, Splatoon is unlikely to be either.
September Directs have been quite 3rd party focused in the past. 2019 is an example. Nintendo could announce XB3 and maybe something else, give more info on Splatoon 3 and fill the rest with third party stuff and you'll have a fine Direct.
Besides, the 2022 games we know of are mostly 'vague' 2022 titles. One or more release date reveals would be nice.
They don't really need to do a Direct but it'd be cool to hear more info on upcoming games and surprises.
September Directs are usually very 3rd-party focused, that's pretty normal. It just depends on how far out Nintendo wants to announce/talk about early 2022 games. We still don't have a game slotted for March, for example, and Nintendo ALWAYS has a March game (I'm counting MHR from last year even if it's not 1st party). Now it could well be that Splatoon 3 is March, but I'm guessing there will be more to share as well. Plus one or two reveals for later in the year, most likely.
I've felt since E3 that a September Direct would be largely superfluous, but remember that this is a marketing tactic as well. I expect to see info about fall games, like some of the remaining Mario Party content and maybe the technically unannounced WarioWare characters. As others have noted, it's also typically a very partner-oriented show. That GTA collection, if real and coming to Switch, is a prime candidate.
As some have said, BC is a feature many ask for but at the end not that many people end up using because most just go for the newest games, and depending on the case it can be hard to find the physical copies of some games. The best case is to also have digital versions of the games like Microsoft has been doing, something the Wii U barely did and the 3DS didn't do at all.
dayum from notorious Era poster to boring game series shaking my damn smdh
There is nothing wrong with that sentiment, but Nintendo has seemed to follow a three big directs/events per year schedule (2020 aside) for some time. The September direct does a good job right before the holiday season of reinforcing Fall/winter games while giving a tease of next Spring. I guess in an ideal world the fall direct could get pushed back a little bit since there will be a 5~6 month wait until the next direct, but that is the time of year where plenty of games get released.
At this point we know of Legends in January and that is it as far as next year's schedule is concerned. The September direct should likely give us the March game.
Im leaning toward Splatoon in March more than M+R but I feel both games will be released in Summer
Lol
I gotta admit I'm kind of on the same boat. I'll 100% be excited for one, and the more games the better, but I feel completely satisfied with what we know right now.
That could also be because I've been trying to play more retiro games lately so I kinda have a huge backlog technically lol
