So potential announcement times at this point? I know tomorrow at 10 am is the obvious, but is there any time beyond that they could announce something?

So what's the word going around about the upcoming Direct? Any ideas on what games are going to be talked about? Hoping for more on the Pokémon games as I'm still on the wall on them.

NGL this whole MC fiasco has dampened my excitement for the (potential) Direct. Reading the new MC threads on Thursday mornings was one of my favorite things to do every week.

So far it seems likely we're gonna get an update on Nintendo Switch online in form of Gameboy and/or N64 coming to the service.

Afterwards the rest are assumptions based on rumors or what's been announced previously : Xenoblade 3, Splatoon 3, Triangle Strategy, a Fire Emblem remake, Donkey Kong, etc

There should be a slew of third party announcements as well like Castlevania Advance Collection, the Alan Wake remaster, Borderlands 3, etc..

the upcoming Pokemon games might get new trailers, same as other previously announced games that have yet to be released like Metroid, Mario Party, Advance Wars, SMT V (with maybe the english dub finally being unveiled).

As far as I know, Xenoblade 3, expanded NSO and leaked third parties is the "safe" thing.

Yeah, it probably sounds a little sad, but being unemployed, Comic Book Wednesdays and Media Create Thursdays helped me get a sense of a weekly routine.

I haven't used Discord in ages, probably since the transition from the old forum, I think I'm already in the channel though, so I might hang there a bit.

This thread will go even faster if something actually does happen this week.

It'd be kind of hilarious if this thread doesn't even survive to Metroid Dread's release date.

Is it just me or is the Discord invite Invalid/Expired?

Also the above thing about Pokémon, completely slipped my mind though I'm really itching to see anything majorly new about the remakes and to see more about the gameplay loop of Arceus before I take the dive.

As for Castlevania, that sounds interesting. Haven't played one except X on PS Vita, but I did enjoyed it and Symphony so that might peak my interest. But I am super hype for Xenoblade 3... still haven't finished Definitive despite having it for months, should really get around to doing that. Don't have Online and unlike most people I'm not that interested in the re-releases.

Xenoblade isn't necessarily safe - we know it's coming, but it might not be announced this year. A good chance though!

It's not sad. Routines like that are really helpful. It IS sad what's happened to Media Create, though.

Pokemon will almost certainly have a spot in the next direct, probably to reveal a new feature and a couple of new pokemon/forms, that's typically the direct standard

And now it's locked, pending an investigation of the mod. Also not a great move IMO
As I said on the thread, most moves they have will only fan the flames of discontent. I expected a lock so they'd review things, because the negative feedback loop on the thread would feed on itself and make people angrier and angrier. Still, they shouldn't suppress criticism, so people should not be banned for being critical about the bad or unwise actions of the mod team (unless the criticism is made om bad faith, but they have to be VERY careful with all this).

The Genealogy of the Holy War remake rumor has been around since the 3DS, along with Link's Awakening and that Virtual Boy Wario game.

At this point, I feel that sooner or later it will happen.

(And because I've already played GBA and Game Cube Fire Emblems dozens of times in my youth and have no interest in replaying them again)

Pokemon tends to have its own events for new announcements, but Directs are no stranger to further coverage on already announced games, like the D/P remakes or Arceus, I don't think.
.
I just realised the last Pokémon direct was only 1 month ago lol.
Not convinced a huge direct is necessary right now for anything, although there are obviously a few things due, like the N64 mystery controller and the next Smash fighter.

Indo wonder of Snap is going to get another update, whether free or paid?

while not impossible I wonder if the Pokemon Snap update was basically the dev team finishing their work on the game that had been delayed due to covid in the same way Rise didn't release as a complete package at launch (tho it had plenty of content).

Probably had a time-limit on how long it works for upon creation and now the limit has passed it doesn't work. Even without an account it should ask you to login, not tell you its invalid.

The Media Create problem is basically that the MC thread has had a troll problem for months/years, and it was always framed in a way that was deniable to moderation standards, so reporting usually didn't do much

The OP of the MC threads had been getting less patient with the situation for the past few months, and that came to a head when he disagreed with a mod (who, it appears, may have been making fun of Chris behind his back—and the rest of the MC thread, too—on Discord)

Chris ate a one day ban, new rules were set up that didn't address the problem that regulars had been seeing for months, and now a bunch of MC regulars, including Chris, are peacing out

Is Chris definitely leaving? Huge blow for Resetera
