Long, long time lurker here, from the times of... OT4, I think? So yeah, long enough.

Just decided to finally post something now the situation is, well, kinda convoluted to say the least, both to adress the remainer posters (whom I think are more than now may seem) and those who rightly have flown away. I just want to thank you all - from Racoon to Dark Cloud, from Dardan to mazi, BozPaggs, Imitatio, MisterSpo, der, Phendrift, Brofield, MondoMega, B3llydrum, Kevin360, Hologram, wookie, Derachi, Nate and a myriad of others that would make this post incredibly large but to whom I also want to thank. You all say how much this community has meant to you but, believe me, you also mean a lot to others, like me, that just lurk and enjoy their time reading your thoughts and puns, your avatar bets and amazing intentions to make this place a better place for all. I know that this place is heavily wounded, and even though I don't think this is really the end (not yet, at least), I can not find a better time to say to all of you that, no matter what you do from now on: you all have had a real impact in the lives of others, hundreds of people that, from beneath the internet shadows, have followed your daily ups and downs, that, like myself, have followed your advices and had their inconveniences being at least laughable - like the time that, following Dardan Sandiego actions, I ordered an Age of Calamity from ShopTo just to see how it ended travelling all around the world, Switzerland itself, just to finally arrive one month later.

I don't know anyone of you. Some of you work in film industry, others are scientists, other maybe administratives or receptionists - some of you may think that you make a lot of impact in your daily life and some of you may not. But I just wanted to tell you that, no matter what you do, you have made it - you have impacted on others lives, and for that I can not be more grateful. Thank you, thank you wholeheartedly to all of you.

And, well. Direct day, yay! Let's all have fun, shall we?
Thanks for your great and thoughtful post. It is good to lurkers interact, I am a semi-lurker myself.

Thanks!

If PQ2 gets a sale, I'll get that and I am still interested in getting into the EO series.

I mean I still enjoyed PQ1 - the mapping system was okay but man it was crazy in the last 3 dungeons (honestly the last dungeon was okay but the one before that - inaba pride festival - was....just unbearable especially the floor where you had to unlock the middle door lol).

I was so stuck in it I had to watch a full video guide (and I really cant stand watching other people play games lmao).

I actually got stuck in the same dungeon lmao.
Yeah I still liked PQ too. THe EO games are great, I hope you like them

The confidentiality update is close enough in the future that I think it's still getting revealed today. What would be the point of keeping it out of your September Direct just to announce something extra in the next month without a Direct? I guess one possibility is that the service's launch date, and therefore the controller's release date, is going to be up to a month from now.

i wonder when Good-Feel will reveal their new action/adventure game. today might be too soon.

they posted a recruitment video a few months ago, it's mostly talking heads but you can see concept art and a brief clip of a greyboxed Unity game


Very interesting, looking forward to see what exactly is their game.

So wait, are people permanently shifting to Discord and abandoning the forum thread here?
Not me.

I dont use Discord because dont really have the time or patience to catch up to discussions that are going on.

Been in a few Discords where there were a ton of people posting at the same time....was a headache lol.

I prefer posting in a forum especially since there's a delay in conversation across multiple topics instead of a hundred discussions happening in the same window.
Preliminary discussions have started about creating a new forum

That's what I'm telling myself as well, I can't wrap my head around any other scenario.

It doesn't have to be N64 NSO.

I was thinking it makes more sense for them to release the N64 classic first then add N64 to NSO in 2022

In that case classic consoles are announced outside directs

Just for Nintendo discussions only?

So like that PC only forum....Metacouncil or whatever....I didnt even join that site even though I was invited to it.

Eh, if I was to leave this forum for whatever reason - this might become my last forum - I'll just stick to gaming/media news sites like I did before joining video game forums lol

Do we know a time? I'm not sure any of the games I want would be included in a blockbuster sale but it doesn't hurt to check.
Nintendo Life say the sale is now live. On my wishlist, the Civ 6 season pass and Raji are both 50% off.
I'm out of luck, sadly. None of my 13 wishlisted games on sale. :(
Yeah only a couple of things discounted on my list... I might poke around tonight, though, and see what's what.

More the sales side of things than the Nintendo side. Or maybe more general. There's no real decision made yet, I think.

Hoping for a WiiU port for Switch announcement

Any of the below

-Zelda TP HD
-Zelda WW HD
-Paper Mario Color Splash
-Star Fox Zero
-Xenoblade Chronicles X
I'd be very happy if Star Fox Zero came across to Switch. It deserves another chance, without the control scheme holding it back.

It would inevitably prolong the wait for a new Star Fox game though, but honestly, I question whether Star Fox will get another game without Zero showing some reasonable sales first.

Even more reason for me to not join lol - I dont really care for sales discussions.

I just play games and like to talk about games - dont really care about the industry or sales aspect of it.

Never got to play it on WiiU - had a chance to buy it for $15 but chose not to lol.

I want all the WiiU games that I have and not have on to be on Switch cause Switch is the nintendo system I enjoyed the most since SNES era.

Nah the idea is a sales-focused forum. Not any one platform, and it's likely to only be about sales and industry news, so no game OTs or anything.

Just want to mention that I (as a longtime lurker) always enjoyed reading these threads.

Shame to see a lot of regulars leave but it's understandable given what has transpired.

Switch Sports Club. If I say it for enough years, it's bound to eventually happen... right??

Do we feel that Xeno 3 is going to be the Monolith game and not that medieval looking concept art thing they showed awhile back?

Since Mike Wikan came out laying out the technical problems of a port of trilogy, I've been saying "well, maybe they remake them in the Metroid Prime 4 engine, Half-Life:Source Style?"

I didn't think it was likely, I just wanted it because I've never played any of the Metroid Prime games. My switch is my first home console since checks notes my original NES, so I just wanted a chance to play them! But with various grumblings it seems... possible?

I'm pretty happy with what's coming from Nintendo so I'm gonna be happy no matter what, but that's my one "oh please oh please" game

Who do I contact to get an invite?
There's a few different discussions happening, but the Discord is a good place to keep in the loop, and if we do end up migrating we'll be sure to let people here know

There's discussions of making a replacement for NintendoEra too, if we can

Ah, thanks! Just checked and there's nothing I need like, immediately.
Yeah, I feel like the Civ 6 pass sale has come a little late - I'm probably most of the way through one of the 2/3 Civ campaigns I'll do each year and I doubt I'd use the pass content for a while. Raji is tempting, given it's a short game, and I want to give the developers at least a little support given they also look after stray dogs, but if GB NSO games are available soon then there'll be plenty of 2 to 4 hour gaming there (I hope).

Monolith Soft's 'new IP' was never really corroborated by anything and I remember there being some suggestion it was just a generic hiring drive, but I wouldn't rule out something non-Xenoblade and non-Zelda from them. I believe Nate suggested they had other things in the works besides Xenoblade and Zelda, and they are like 3 times the size they used to be.

It does seem Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is wrapping up, though, so maybe that's the next game we see from them.

Do y'all think Halo is possible at this Direct? Or whatever Halo game that was coming to Switch was canned?

From my understanding, not necessarily cancelled, but that any sources that were privy have gone quiet for the last two years so 🤷‍♂️ Assume what you will

So wait, are people permanently shifting to Discord and abandoning the forum thread here?

I think for most people Discord is a safe backup and a lot are also jumping on board with the idea, but personally speaking I'll probably split my time between here and the server a little more evenly.

I just realized that the recruitment post on Gematsu could have just been them recruiting for help on BOTW2...

Anyways, the art is beautiful. I'm such a sucker for this kind of fantasy.
