Nintendo Direct confirmed for Sept 13th at 6PM EST (Over)
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
The amount of people that owned a Wii U and bought ALL of these games already must be so miniscule. Yeah, maybe for them they're sick of these ports, but.. sucks to be them I guess?

Man, Animal Crossing is top tier stuff for me. All I needed was a fucking logo, we all knew it was in the works, but I needed to see the words. It's the only reason I still give two damns about my 3DS, but boy do I want to retire it. Switch AC can't come soon enough. It's such a pleasure to play Animal Crossing, but especially good in those days that you don't really want or have anything else to play/do... just start Animal Crossing and relax a bit.
Gimme.
Gimme.
The post I quoted above yours sums it up really well.
To me, it starts in summer 2018 with Octopath and the flood of indies. Being a JRPG fan and Japanese reader, September is nuts.
I hate announcement of games with just a pending title logo. Of course, I'm talking about Animal Crossing. Feels like it was thrown there at the last minute. Last time people went nuts over the Metroid Prime 4 logo.
I happen to be in that extreme minority. I get why they are porting. Doesn't mean it makes the game list any less light to me.
People went crazy because metroid basically had nothing for years, and no one thought prime 4 would happen.
I kinda agree, but it's a 2019 release. We don't need to wait for 10 years for it.
Nah they have to do that. Imagine the state of AC and Metroid fans if they didn't know a bigger game was coming.
I mean, I'm like 90% positive that Tom Nook was all assets from the new Animal Crossing game so its better than just a logo?
HarmoKnight had tons of charm. I didn't get that vibe from Town, but it's still early of course.
Personally while I enjoyed it the week long wait did diminish my enjoyment. Also not sure what was in the direct that made it get delayed. Maybe that was cut as I remember someone on Twitter claiming that a specific game caused the entire direct to be pushed back.
Some insiders probably knew about Cities: Skyline and assumed that they were going to show the Natural Disasters expansion, but it was not featured in the Direct.
Nothing too exciting for me in this one. Lots of ports I already own, NSMB Deluxe is super uninteresting. LM3 is cool, but if it's mission based I'm not sure if I'll be jumping on that right away. Otherwise I'm not a big Animal Crossing fan, so that doesn't do much for me. Town looks interesting, and I'm down for that Capcom collection.
3rd party support from Japan continues to consist largely of ports/remasters and collections which is certainly concerning. I expected that from the west, but not so much the east.

tough crowd. I thought this direct was incredible and I don't even care about most of the Final Fantasy games. Every thing I see from Nintendo is smart decision after smart decision. There's so much to appeal to such a wide audience. I was about to jump on City Skylines until I saw that $39.99 price tag. A bit steep for me, but dope that it's on the system. Diablo...Warframe....Square stuff....
When i think about what's coming out this year on all platforms, other than Red Dead and my wish that a mp COD was on switch, all of my money is going to Nintendo.

I'm a big fan of the Metroid series, so I understand the feeling of finally getting another Metroid Prime. I would've love seeing some early footage and not just some logo at the end.
Does Sony have fans that freak out if a franchise gets "ignored" by not having a game announced frequently enough or paid enough attention? I don't recall Parappa the Rapper fans melting down every E3 because Sony doesn't announce a new game because they thought fondly about the game as a child. People don't yell "FUCK SONY!" into the void because we don't get any new info about if a Twisted Metal game is currently or will be in development.
Nintendo fans seem like a special breed and sometimes the enthusiasm is a lot of fun when people are hyped, but when the whining, entitlement, and bitter rage comes out, I don't want to be anywhere near those type of Nintendo fans. People need to chill the F out!.

Glad there were still surprises despite all the announcements and leaks over the week. That Animal Crossing troll fantastic.
Excited for Luigi's Mansion and to have a portable Katamari. Will probably get FF12 if it's a good port since I was assuming it'd eventually hit Switch and held out.
Even the 3DS stuff looked great. Good Direct. Just kept delivering.

If I'm being honest, there are large portions of the Nintendo fanbase that are completely insufferable.
Well I didn't do too bad other than that the "and one more thing" reveal was AC instead of more on one of the already announced mega titles (and it was 24 hours and one week lol).milkyway said:
Has Nate pitched in about Call of Duty? He restated not too long ago, maybe two months ago, that there was gonna be a CoD on Switch this year, but we're in mid-September and not a peep in the Direct. Was Nate pokemonstarred?
Super excited that they've announced AC but it seems pretty far off, right? I really want this game ASAP as it will be a game I play for a long time. It would have been a great way to start the year and continually play while I await other titles but... I'll take what I can get.
Didn't watch it live sadly as I was at work but checked out the recording and it was just an ok direct. The major surprise for me was Luigi's Mansion 3 and other than that there was just overviews. Online is looking great for just 20 dollars a year, tbh. I expected it to be much more. I also expected more announcements. No new pokemon revealed yet? Isabelle in smash was in leaks so it was hardly any exciting besides that she isn't a full clone. The FF ports were also very nice as there's more potential for characters other than Cloud in smash.
I thought that was pretty great. Confirmation of Luigi's Mansion 3 and Animal Crossing in 2019 is excellent.
I still want to believe in Metroid Prime 4 in 2019, which makes a pretty solid year first-party wise.
Do we still think that Star Fox racing game is real?

Well if they showed gameplay back then, it would be very beta and then people would say that they are ruining metroid prime.
So after all that great stuff announced for 2019, you're still not happy? You people are impossible to please.
If, IF, all the announced games to date get released, 2019 will have
Fire emblem
Yoshi flip flop
Bayonetta 3
Metroid Prime 4
Ex Machina
Super mario bros U Switch
SMT V
Pokemon 2019
Luigis Mansion 3
Animal Crossing: Troll Edition
Any surprise left for the year we still have 1 more Smash Direct and The Video Games Awards
Likely October and November respectively
Then december off
And then January Direct for the 1st half of 2019
Luigi's Mansion 3 and Yoshi's Crafted World are a definite step up from this year and games I'm interested in, but not super excited for.
The Smash trolling was amazing: "Only a bundle announcement?" -> "Animal Crossing Switch!" -> "No? It's only Isabelle for Smash?!" -> "Isabelle is in Smash!" -> "Tom Nook too?!" -> "Animal Crossing Switch!!"
I'm buying Luigi's Mansion Remake for 3DS, but yeah this Direct was a major disappointment. AC is one of the megatons, sure, but not a personal one.

I think people Need to understand that (save some counting in 1 hand cases) Nintendo dont show projects thst are 3-4 years down the line like almost everyone else does.
So beat me where do they get this wild expectations, or what are they even expecting for?

literally thats all we know about these games. spare me that nonsense about nintendo not announcing stuff before they have stuff to show off. they do the same shit everyone else does
They do it just as much as everyone else does, and others at least have the courtesy of putting together a CGI trailer or in-engine showing. When was the last time that Nintendo revealed a game, and released it in under 9 months, other than a port?
Cool 1 game with no ETA out of 3 the lther been pokemon 2019 will be around 2 1/2 years since reveal, that makes 2 games out of how many theu have released on Switch? In the past 2 years?
Hold that tought till i get home, I actually have a list of that o3o
There are minigames that take advantage of both screens (TV + gamepad), so 0 chance.
Don't think Bayo, Metroid Prime, and SMT V are confirmed for 2019. They could but they could also easily slip into 2020.
Metroid ain't coming next year. It's too big/compex of a game.
