Protocol from here on out should be to simply lock and sticky the Direct Announcement threads as soon as they're posted and leave them that way until the Direct actually airs. All this circle jerking about games/Smash characters that'll never get announced, otters, bad pop singers and whatever the fuck else is going on here is just kinda sad.
Good, lock the thread and watch the shit post popping up randomly in other threads. Just ignore this thread for real, why are you even here if you would prefer it to be locked lol.

This is completely unrelated to today's Direct, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of Square Enix eventually releasing some of their PS1 and PS2 classics on Switch.

Don't just take my word for it. They hinted at the possibility last year in December.

"One of our other big initiatives is to get as many of our past titles available via digital releases. Among the younger generations of gamers, you've got lots of people out there who may have heard of our past titles but have never had an opportunity to play them," Matsuda explained to MCV in their latest issue.

"So we think that programme of porting and transferring the older titles over to newer platforms, such as the Switch, is very important. So that people get that awareness of our back catalogue. Just straight ports isn't cutting it, we need to update those and modernise them to make something that works for modern gamers too."

Huh. That's cool. I'd love to play FFVII on the Switch, or play FFIX for the first time.

Hope we see something today!

Watch this Direct be incredibly disappointing haha.
Honestly, wouldn't even be mad, these threads are the best part


600.

Pages.

For.

Nothing.

:P
Well, it's at least come close which i never thought would happen!

Nah not even close. I think we had 650 pages of that nonsense back then. And you and I battling for top poster took up only like 50-60 of those.
And I won!

It's a small youtuber who only has 4K subs. They were doing a podcast on Nintendo news and did a small section of it on predictions and one of the guys said he was told MPT HD will be in the Direct. I'm trusting this guy because I've watched him for years and I know his personality.

With all due respect that isn't a name or a link to the podcast.

Emily pleassseee don't get my hopes up. If PS1/PS2 Final Fantasy games come to Switch I might pass out.

I just want to let you guys know... I love you all.

These bonds we have forged. Stronger than steel, they make us inseparable. Our bonds go deeper than just these words we're exchanging over the web. They go directly in our hearts, it flows together with our blood, in our own veins. These bonds are deeper than family, you are more than friends, more than comrades. We stand up for each other in good times and in difficult times, we risk our lives for each other. We throw aside logic and common sense for the sake of each other. We are connected, like our souls connected to our bodies. Nothing can break us, no direct, no leaks, NOTHING.

We shall continue this madness as one. One embodiment of insanity and hype. This cycle will repeat itself, we are together.

TOGETHER WE HYPE. LET'S HOLD EACH OTHER IN UNITY!!!

I said it a little earlier today. A podcast (group of Nintendo fans) I've watched for years, one of the guys said they got inside information that MPT HD will be revealed in this direct. This is me knowing the person since I've watched him for years and he never pretends to have inside information.
Interesting.....hmm......

Could this shut down Era?

Until we see just one PS1 game from SE on a Nintendo platform (seriously, just one), I'm going to assume it's not possible. They could have just been talking about stuff like Crystal Chronicles.

I wish someone with some say in the matter would finally get things moving for the improved Final Fantasy Tactics on modern platforms.

Hoping for a smash online multiplayer demo to be announced for the free trial week of the paid online service going live on the 18th. Probably not, but a guy can dream!
