6 times each since it was first rumoured to be coming to switch, finished all three in the same day a couple of times haha

.. finished all 3 in the same day? Do you do speedruns for the MP games? LOL.

Looked up "rushed" times for MP:Trilogy. Granted, "rushed time" isn't the same thing as a "speedrun time", but I would imagine if "rushed time" is 40 hours, then a speedrun of less than 24 hours is impossible unless glitches/bugs were used to complete the games sooner than normal.

It not being based on the mobile versions doesn't mean it's the ideal to me. Like, FF4 and FF3 DS/mobile/PC should really be in these. The PSP versions or GBA versions of FF1-2 should be in this. The GBA versions of 5 and 6.

If we just get the SNES versions with nothing on top that's going to be so annoying.

Does anyone know if the entire line up of Square's presentation has already leaked or are there any surprises left?

Will this be the E3 where we find out about the Microsoft x Nintendo collaboration?
This feels like a Switch Pro situation, it's been years..

Yep. That's how I'm feeling right now too. It's good to hear Spencer talk about wanting to collaborate and not seeing console wars as gaming's future, but it's all theoretical until otherwise.

I do love the visual though. The less major brands create toxicity, the better.

I agree, but at the very least it won't be the worst possible outcome now.

So since I own all Zelda games on Switch I need to buy 30$ worth of crap to get a poster? Amazing.

The whole presentation leaked to some, but only Final Fantasy Origin (the souls like), Final Fantasy Collection (1 to 6), and Guardians of the Galaxy went more or less public. (Not much details about Guardians)
Don't know about anything else, I assume there's much more.

Surprisingly, no assets went public, even though trailers and everything leaked.

By no means a speedrunner (other than Fusion) I've just played these games a f*ckton.

I've been waiting to replay any Metroid for a while now. But whether we get a new game announced in the Direct or not, I'm dropping everything and doing a huge Metroid marathon, haha.
We're eating soon friend

oh my gosh. HOW. I am not into speedrunning personally, but 1 and 2 are in the running for my favorite games of all-time (1 is my most finished It multiple times game period) and I don't think I could finish any of the 3 in under 25 hours. Each. I probably just get too caught up in collecting all the missiles, scanning 100%, reading, and justvibing to the atmosphere/music.

that's wild though, impressive work.
I rarely feel like doing 100% runs, I just sort of get enough to get me through, game time averages out at 7 hours each depending on how leisurely I take it

.. finished all 3 in the same day? Do you do speedruns for the MP games? LOL.

That's so inaccurate lol, no glitches or skips. Maybe that's if you rush your first time playing it

😂 I hope you/we get to replay them in HD soon
Heck we'll be playing them in 4k

Record is 15 hours, average is 21 hours

It'll end up outselling the previous best by at the very least 60%, could be closer to 100%, that's not modest growth.

There is no reality where the numbers you just quoted happen. Three houses has sold 3.02m units at last update and they had essentially stalled completely at that point. Which means it's barely past fates (which got 3m sales). Even ignoring fates because of strange sales counting, there is literally zero chance it gets to 60% increase over awakening. It needs nearly 700k more to got to 60% over awakening. As is, it's about 30% over awakening.

It certainly will never get 100% over awakening, even in your most mad fever dreams.

Final predictions because I'm bored. Not in any order:

-Zelda Segment: Discuss 35th anniversary. Breath of the Wild 2 trailer. Age of Calamity DLC trailer. Reminder that Skyward Sword is out next month. No mention of Twilight Princess or Wind Waker coming to the Switch
-Pokemon DP Remake trailer showcasing new features and returning features from Pokemon Platinum
-Pokemon Legends Trailer
-Metroid V trailer. Out in September
-30 second teaser for Metroid Prime 4 with a 2022 release year
-Shin Megami Tensei V trailer
-Next Smash Fighter Pass character. Only one this E3
-Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania trailer. Out this Fall
-Panzer Dragoon Zwei Trailer
-Sizzle real: Ys IX, Sonic Colors, Mario + Rabbids, Final Fantasy collection, Monster Hunter Stories 2, etc.

Wild cards because I really don't know
-Monolith Soft's next game (could be saved for the September Direct)
-Animal Crossing paid expansion (resulting in hundreds of posts about how people put 500 hours into the game but there's no content. People will buy the expansion anyway despite the complaints)
-Mario Kart 9 announcement.

Jesus, I can't believe the Starfield trailer just leaked like that. Imagine if that happens to BoTW 2 or Metroid...

If Metroid 5 is real and is announced, I feel like we'll probably get some kind of update on Prime 4. We probably only got that logo reveal back in 2017 because they were revealing Samus Returns. Nintendo seems very careful about managing the reactions of the Metroid fanbase after the Federation Force blowback. We might only get a few seconds of cinematics and a reassurance that development is moving along, but there will be something if we also see 2D Metroid.

The ideal for the FF Collection is ultimate editions of the game that include all the added content and latest translations that respect their graphical roots (ie not filtered pixel art or whatever the mobile ports did). But I'd be happy to have a ROM dump collection of all the games as originally presented with FF3 having an English translation. That would be followed by the intention to release more extensive remakes of these games. And I will happily accept following in the footsteps of Trial of Mana or Dragon Quest 3 or FF7.

I feel it's nearly impossible for something not to leak, especially if you are giving media to the press. All it takes is for one person to make a mistake. It could be as simple as someone posting a trailer too early or some editor making a typo that says to upload the trailer at 12:00 instead of 13:00. Now multiply that across of all the different media organization plus the potential for mistakes within in your own company.

Maybe there's enough time. But announcing a release date so far might not be the best idea.

but we'll see. Im just used to Nintendo taking forever to gave anything a release date lol

Really? GBA/PSP versions had too many QoL features that made the games even better. Even FF5 Advance's extra save points made a huge difference. Maybe they are different builds with all those extra content?

GBA versions added so many cool features, additional dungeons, summons and even much better translations. It would be hard for me to go back the original versions. Also ignoring FF4 After Years would be a massive disappointment.

I want to get excited for a Final Fantasy collection but I know it can easily be great and full of extras or barebones with iffy mobile ports

Everything is leaking this year, holy fuck. Mario + Rabbids, that whole list from PracticalBrush, Final Fantasy Origin, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, and now Starfield. Nintendo is up next.

We might see the collection soon. Might as well just wait and see what they are rather then trying to get Nate to tell lol
