Also, Luigi mansion looked like it started development yesterday. For a moment I wasn't sure if it was not looking at a 3DS hd port.

Nintendo Direct confirmed for Sept 13th at 6PM EST (Over)
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
It's called an artstyle and having a visual identity. I think it looks way better stylistically than from a technical perspective. Those colors with the really dark shadows just looks good to me.
I feel like most of the announcements at this Direct should have been revelead at this year's E3 if Nintendo didn't concentrated all the spotlight at Smash. NSMBU DX, Yoshi and Luigi's Mansion 3 should easily have been announced there. Same goes for Cities Skylines, Civ VI and Katamari Damacy Reroll. I don't get the need for this unnecessary oversecrecy for some Switch titles.
I would guess it started back when Federation Force was finished.
But it didn't look like a game that started development 2 years ago.
It looked bad.
This has been a fear of mine that got stronger after this direct:
- Only two new game announcements, one with barely half a minute of gameplay and the other with only a logo, making me think we're getting neither in the Fall.
- Metroid Prime 4 and Bayonetta 3 still nowhere to be found.
- Fire Emblem Three Houses looking sort of rough at E3, and nothing new at this direct, makes me think that it's not going to make it's Q2 2019 date.
The switch has been out for over a year...fucking relax my guys/gals. Most consoles don't have the first year it had in terms of games, and now we are seeing why. We are basically experiencing the new consoles first year drought...in its second year. That is the price to pay for the packed year one. Anyone expecting anything different can only blame themselves at this point...after the lack of new shit announced at the first direct and e3...it was told that this year was going to be lax on new shit and to expect a lot of ports. Yall gotta learn to adjust your expectations accordingly to prevent the level of buttmad that often comes after these things.
I thought this Direct was lackluster but I also didn't have stupid high hopes either. AT the end of the day, it showed off some neat new announcements, while also letting people know that AC is coming in '19...y'kno the year they have the next gen of Pokemon, a new FE, and potentially a new Metroid Prime and Bayo 3?

Animal Crossing knocked him out of my brain, but yeah, he did look great. The previews also made me really interested in the game, reminded me a lot of PC spaceship games and the cinematics are great. I think this could end up as a great title.
The only thing great about thr switch was BotW and Mario Odyssey. And one of them was a wii u game first.
The switch in 2018 is honestly an absolute mess at this point.
I truly believe that this whole year has shown Nintendo was not ready to launch their system when they did but knew they had to because they couldn't go another year of having nothing for the Wii U and relying on NES classic, and 3DS to make up their revenue for the year.
Honestly year 1 of switch outside of the initial releases had very little third party, and a ton of indie which now seems to be flooding the store.
I just didn't buy my switch for those games. If anything I bought it for first party NIntendo games. If I had known it was going to be like this in terms of releases, I would have bought a new 3DS instead that has a larger library and in my opinion is made up of mostly first party, and third party exclusives.
If they do go through with a 3DS successor then I will sell my switch for sure and get that.
I honestly thought when they talked years ago about all developers from 3DS/homeconsole being under one roof, I got excited and thought ports of 3DS or remastered 3DS games along with Nntendo classics on the store were going to be what I would see when it comes to the ESTORE.
it truly feels like I guess the first couple PS4 years, where indie had a big push and focus until their first party, third party exclusives started rolling out. But the thing is they had great third party games until those came out to fill in the void.
This direct along with their laughable online service just shows out of touch they are and don't think they need to at least be competent. The fact that cloud saves are not for all games is a complete joke. The fact that the old software that was on the Wii U backend is somehow showing it's head on the switch with how multiplayer ranking is saved locally just boggles my mind.
So cloud saves for Splatoon 2 are out I guess according to what I'm reading and same goes for Pokemon where you pay an extra 5 dollars? Like wtf? I don't care about the 5$, I care that your offering part of a service, and one that doesn't make sense when compared to the rest of the industry that has had online multiplayer ranking stored on servers not the console itself.
Been nice as well to see a trailer or something for Bayonetta 3, and metroid 4 just to give a shout out that they are alive but will need more time.
Seeing 2019 games also shows very little.
The only thing I got excited for was Capcom collection game, and the Ex Mahcina mech game.
Seeing so many random people hyped and excited for what they showed has me bewildered to all hell.
I guess when it comes to Nintendo Standards are just lax and if they put out any game it;s positive for the system is how I am reading the reactions.
Rant over, jesus that direct was not worth waiting.
Even so, it's really weird to bundle a console with a preorder for a game....
Oops, I meant to put Q2 2019, meaning I don't think it'll make that.
That was seriously one of the worst directs ever. Wow, it was completely pointless.
Glad Isabelle is a character though. And at least everyone will shut up about where is Animal Crossing now

Very strong direct. Congrats to Nintendo for actually getting third parties excited for Nintendo platforms again.
Capcoms beat em up bundle was a cool surprise for me
All the Final Fantasies (except one of my facorites) will be playable in bed. Cant wait to
dive in 9 and 12 again.
Luigi's Mansion 3 is probably the big holiday 2019 game. Cant wait!
I already am downloading Cities skyline.
That Daemon x Machina game is looking better by the day. Trailer is looking really good.
Town looks interesting.
Mario bros U Deluxe was expected but a great fit for Switch non the less. I will be getting that one for some wife co op.
2019 is shaping up to be a much better year with more content and oroginal titles from january onward.

They were accepting awards those years. You think Kirby is going to be swallowing up those awards or something?
Ninty will be there.
It was a solid 8/10 for me, probably would have been 9 if I hadn't know about Civ ahead of time. Really happy about Animal Crossing. Online stuff was kinda meh. Definitely getting Diablo III, Super Mario Party, Smash, and some other games shown off.
If you thought that was mediocre you Nintendo fans are truly spoiled... or Mariah fans. What's the difference anyway.
I don't understand how you can call a year with Smash and Pokemon a huge mess.
I don't think a 3DS successor is happening, Switch is their handheld now. But I do agree on the other points, feels like lately they're just trying to get by with ports and updates to previously launched until they finally have titles to release, which stinks because from it looks like we're going to have to wait yet ANOTHER year to get anything.
I sure did love the Switch in it's first year, played it tons, now it's just been one "already played this" port after another...
You jest but some people's wacky selves might think that Nintendo is in a legally actionable place. I hope you are jesting anyway.
- It had great indie games like Switch does
- It had third party content like Batman, Splinter Cell, Rayman, ZombiU, Burnout, Tekken, Assassin's Creed, Deus Ex - obviously some of it late and some better elsewhere, but it was there
- Miiverse literally shits on this mobile app abomination they're foisting on us, it provided the console a better sense of community than the switch currently enjoys
- It had a (good!) web browser
- It had YouTube, Netflix, Hulu and.. Napster for some reason
- It had great unique first party content: Nintendo land, Art Academy Atelier, Wii Sports with online, Super Mario 3d World, Super Mario Maker, Pikmin 3, Captain Toad, Tropical Freeze, Pushmo
- Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD
- Backwards compatibility with Wii, and robust virtual console offering. Switch still doesn't have that. We're getting pay walled NES games.
- Until Super Mario Odyssey, the Switch's best game was a game originally developed for the Wii U - Breath of the Wild
- Wii U had some great exclusives in the first few years like W101 and Bayonetta 2, ZombiU etc.
It's cool other people were feeling it, I just didn't.
With how rough Luigi's Mansion 3 looked and Animal Crossing only having a logo, I'm pretty sure those are Holiday 2019 games.
Can you elaborate? The only thing I said hours before the Direct was:
Other than that, I didn't really say much.
Nintendo fans litteraly only want one thing and it's fucking disgusting.
The official 2K trailer omitted the gameplay but showed the physical boxed copy and release date at the end. Cover art was pretty good for Civ6, and I am very tempted to buy physical even though it would be nice to have it digitally to always have it with me.
I don't know if the original comment was satire or parody but boy oh boy I get whispers of vintage Christopher Guest from it. That is one amazingly cute dog. I like her style.
I mean.... just as for the direct nothing made me excited. Will wait to see what Luigi Mansion turns out to be. Other then that it's whatever.

Weird. I was told Animal Crossing was too niche? :P
