Actually seeing and possibly getting some kind of date for DQ3R would be cool.

Ok just keep in mind they seem to be avoiding that lately. It works best for their sales. For example if you know you are getting games W, X, Y, Z in the next three months, you are more likely to skip game W because X, Y are more important.
In short, I don't think we are getting most of 2021 dates yet, not even half.
They've already announced two 2022 first party games that have a decent to good chance to show up at the direct with Splatoon 3 and Legends Arceus. We also don't know for sure when BotW2 will come out.
I think it's also entirely possible that the "mostly 2021" wording is there because they've yet to finalize the release dates for some games which might still slip into 2022. We've heard from multiple people like Jason that we shouldn't take any release dates for granted. Sony also just recently said that Horizon 2 is aiming for the holidays but they aren't committing to a release date just yet.
Play games!
I'm working and playing Robotics;Notes on the side, time's flying by.
I've checked the instagram page, and the bar is great for Mario and Pokemon fans. Seems to be a cool place.

I've been playing MH Rise and re-started Valkyria Chronicles 4, but I feel too limp to play for longer stretches of time. Lying around with the smartphone in hand and shitposting is what I feel comfortable with the most right now. xD
Nate is recording his Microsoft predictions today for tomorrow...guess I have something to look forward too
I actually think Square Enix West is taking Dragon Quest more in-house and multiplatform going forward, just speculating based on their recent press release for that anniversary stream.
If a DQ game is/was Nintendo exclusive, Square Enix West doesn't market it. Their own website for Dragon Quest XI S doesn't mention the Switch version (which is kinda funny). The fact they mentioned most of the games in that press release, most of which are planned worldwide release, suggests they're going at least multiplat and publishing 'em themselves. Probably for Switch + other consoles + maybe PC, hopefully.
What's interesting are the exceptions. DQX is obvious, but Dragon Quest X Offline is an odd one, as the stream didn't say a worldwide release wasn't happening yet it's nowhere to be found in Square Enix's PR. My guess is that's the one Nintendo has secured a publishing deal for in the west, and we might see it next week.

I really, really should play Golf Story. Been on my Switch for nearly 3 years.
If we see DQ on the E3 Direct, it won't be any of the games announced on that stream, because it would mean Nintendo is publishing it.
I'm hoping for some ports myself, could be IV-VI out VII-VIII. I think there's good chance they exist and weren't shown because they're Nintendo exclusives.
It wouldn't be out of the norm if Nintendo was publishing DQ 3 remake/12 would it? Look at DQ builders, Nintendo published it while Square published it on other platforms.
The plot twist of E3 is going to be that Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle 2 is actually Zelda + Rabbids Hyrule Battle.
Good morning. Did they announce the Pikmin Battle Royale rebrand for Pikmin 4 yet?
How was your weekend?
How was your weekend?
I do feel like there's something unexpected coming with Zelda. Personally hoping for a new entry from the portable team (2021 or 2022 I don't care, so long as the 2D games have a future). Or maybe it'll end up being something like Four Swords Adventures HD, with local wireless and online multiplayer.
I could see a funny situation where the expected ports don't appear just yet, but other things do instead.

all the good work of this weekend is undone by your comment. However, I share your enthusiasm about a pikmin spinoff in general
Ubi did Starlink and besides tanking due to the toys2life mechanics, it's a legit good game.
Who's gonna do Starfox then
and don't tell me Nintendo because we know how it ended last time lol
Well, I was joking about Zelda + Rabbids, but honestly? I've kind of been expecting we get something completely out of left field akin to Cadence of Hyrule before too long. Not exactly that but something featuring the IP.
Starlink was a legitimately better Star Fox game than any one released since Assault, maybe even 64.
A bigger budget and a firm guiding hand from on high and we'd be cooking with gas.
Starlink without garb toys, bigger budget and Nintendo overlooking it would make a good try at a modern day Star Fox game.
No reviews at all for Griftlands and Umurangi generation makes me sad.
I just need like one review to state that they are good ports on the switch, the reviews from steam users are excellent for both titles and they both have a discount right now.
Mass effect on a handheld would be magnificent!

I will take your two compilations and double it with an ulterior Castelavania compilation and a Metroid Prime collection.

Went back to it recently and found it repetitive and shallow even beyond the t2l stuff. Good takes on the Star Fox characters with some neat ideas but absolutely not how I'd want a Star Fox game to play in any shape or form. The open world just a pretty backdrop without any interesting geography or structures.
This is without touching on Ubisoft doing fuck all to deal with the shocking number of harassment allegations of last year. I wish Nintendo would cut ties with them until they get their shit together but clearly that's not happening.
If given the choice between a bad entry and a medicore, decent at best space shooter that has barely anything to do with Star Fox, I'd rather the series just stay dormant.
Ideally they would have given the series to Treasure, Sakurai or Bandai Namco's Ace Combat team but sadly none of those seem very likely.
You're saying this like that's a particularly high bar to clear.
I've been playing the latter and it's definitely a mixed bag. The graphics are on the low-end compared to the PC version (lots of blatant pop-in when walking about - thankfully none whilst using the camera), the resolution is low in docked mode (for an intentionally low-res game) and the framerate ranges from 20-60fps.
However its got an amazing gyro implementation that makes the actual photography that much more fun to use (especially in handheld), and in handheld it has full touch-screen support on all menus. It also doesn't run/look *that* bad, and the game itself is slow-paced enough that it doesn't matter too much in practice.
Was this confirmed 2021?
That is quite the take.
Starlink is very much not Starfox in any regard, it was just cool to see Fox and the Arwing in that setting. I'm not saying we should never get a Star Fox like it, but everything that makes that series what it is was only slightly present in Starlink and it wasn't done very well.
Definitely.
It starts off as a chilled teen drama, almost, but the underlying lingering menace grows until the point where everything just explodes towards the end.
I've also been surprisingly hit in the feels a couple of times, really really good writing. The overall story is far less bombastic than S;G, but it's beautiful in its own right. I'd suggest to play it even to someone new to the SciAdv series, it's just that good.
Yup -- as long as we get a meaty Treehouse segment on it, then a 2-4 minute trailer is all we need in the actual Direct.
Yes! My favorite attitude.
Reasonable. Fair enough.
High five
I wouldn't want a Mercury Steam Metroid game lead by Nintendo after their Castlevania games. Oh wait.
Star Fox definitely needs a change. It can be what it is as a $20 eShop game though.

I guess we'll see but I think my odds are better than yours considering there is a 40 minutes direct incoming which is more inline with how Nitendo revealed their projects before 2020.
I'm not the one you asked, but as a fellow S;G fan please let me share my impressions. First thing first: S;G is head and shoulders above all the other Science Adventure VNs. The Chaos;Head fans will have my head for that. I agree Chaos;Head and Chaos;Child are both excellent VNs, but the vibe is so much different from S;G and it lacks the chemistry between the characters that makes S;G so loveable.
As for Robotics;Notes, I enjoyed it quite a bit. The story's progression is interesting, the cast is pretty endearing even though some characters are criminally under-utilized (S;G kinda has the same issue). I felt like the themes the story touches are not as well researched as time travel in S;G and as a result, it was harder to maintain my suspension of disbelief throughout the story. Much less so than Chaos;[Head|Child] that are a way deep into Bizarro World though.
So yeah, I would recommend R;N. Just don't expect it to be S;G. As for R;N: Dash that is bundled with R;N on Switch, I'm not sure it's worth your time. It's entertaining I guess, but it doesn't even try to be believable, it's way too centered on Daru's shenanigans and it's choke full with questionable fan service. I would put it with S;G: My Darling's Embrace and the other SciAdv romcom spinoffs. Not my cup of tea.
I mean, for one, Castlevania Lords of Shadows 1 is a much better game than Starlink. But I also wouldn't blame anyone for being skeptical about MercurySteam delivering a decent Metroid after LoS2 and Mirror of Fate. This idea that Nintendo has the infallible golden touch is ridiculous. Why not let Arzest make all of their games then?
That's pretty much the most logical, least controversial direction they could take the series and they won't because Nintendo is dumb
This but unironically.
it actually turned out ok but it's not that great either.

I think in the circumstances Samus Returns turned out we well as it possibly could. It was a slick remake of a GB game by an outside studio and Sakamoto showed that whatever brain disease afflicted him during Other M has been successfully treated.
Starlink was the closest this series has been to do something barely relevant for 20+ years. Starfox has some of my favorite characters ever and on Starlink I feel like they we were given, for the first time in decades, some love and attention. Even if it could be polished a lot, an open world a la Starlink would be amazing for keeping the series relevant and honestly it is a logical step coming from a on-rails shooter.
So yeah, I would be so fuckin in because Ninty doesn't seem to know wtf do with some of its best franchises
