Been away for some time playing some golf story and all I see are otter puns. How the he'll did this happen. We got any more solid rumours or should I go to anotter thread?
No, we just hit a tipping point where we realized we had amassed a massive post count over nothing, then decided to just go further.

So what Nintendo announcements usually get you guys the most hyped?
For me, it goes:

Tier 1: Smash, Pokemon Splatoon (the undisputed BIG 3)
Tier 2: Mario Kart, Mario, Animal Crossing, Xenoblade, new franchises
Tier 3: Zelda, Kid Icarus

The rest are just meh for me personally.

Nothing sirious has leaked because there was never any new major announcements to begin with. Hopefully i'll eat my words. This year is set, and they would wanna keep a major new announcement to VGA 2018(like bayo3 last year) or for january 2019 direct. Remember bayo1-2 port was announced just 2 months beforehand. Same can happen for metroid prime trilogy hd etc to fill Q1 2019

Nothing Sirious? So your saying to expect something Harry Potter related. Man that would be so cool.

The more I see of Super Mario Party, the more convinced I'm becoming that this game is severely underestimated around here. I hope they show a lot of it at the direct.

Man I would love a good Harry Potter RPG on Switch.
Do you guys remember that story about Nintendo trying to acquire the Harry Potter rights to turn the books into a gaming franchise but getting cuck'd by Warner Bros?

I don't but Nintendo owning the IP rights to Harry Potter is making me drool.

Game's going to sell 5m+ like it is nothing.

Era is really a bubble, by staying here you never would have believed that 1 2 Switch outsold Bloodborne lol

>Main complaint being lack of online features.
>First and only Mario Party game that actually has significant online features.

People really need to check their expectations with the Mario Party series. It's almost "Xenoblade 2 designs" levels of absurd in that it takes up 95% of the game's discussion around here.

This time I'll be really honest.

In Persona 5 I'm torn between Ann, Makoto, and Sadayo. Makoto and Sadayo being head to head. So I'm still trying to figure out who's best in my heart!

Okay sorry for derailing lol!
Well, Makoto is top 2 so I forgive you

When did they talk it up?
Someone posted a tweet of a Treehouse employee talking up the Direct last week, I believe. "I can't wait to show you some of the things we have been working on tomorrow".

Yeah put me in the club of 12 people who enjoyed Spirit Tracks. I've played otter games that were worse.

the people discussing that, exactly like those discussing the xenoblade 2 designs, were never interested in either of those games anyway, they're just kneejerking

I think that some people are frustrated because they are at a moment in their live when they can't play with their relatives like they used to and/or don't have friends interested in that.

However, saying that Nintendo is shooting itself in the foot is absurd. It is secondary.

As someone who has fond memories of playing Mario Party on the N64 but hasn't touched the series since, I'm intrigued by the new instalment.

I love the look of it, but I don't have a lot of people I can play with anymore, so I'm not sure there's going to be enough there for me. :(
