I think that the odds of a Direct are 100%, with the type of direct being arbitrary and unpredictable. We've had 40 minute Mini's, 40 minute General directs. Some people know Direct dates, some people know what titles are happening, some know title estimates. Putting 2 and 2 together is logical. Everyone thought the Partner Showcase was going to be the direct-that-replaced-E3, and entirely logical prediction. And in a way, it did. Nintendo just squeezed its E3 to be a fraction of what it was intended to be, and pushed the announcements back. That's why we got the Pikmin announcement.
Most excited for Sunshine despite its flaws. Galaxy next. If there's any sort of ridiculous co-op feature for 64 that would be a big excitement boost, but I'm not expecting anything.
I mean it depends on a couple of things, I did I think 90% of the sidequests, if not more. I was like 10 levels over the penultimate boss when I faced them, but regardless you should just check out your party composition. Try and level up a few arts or skills, you could kill some unique monsters to try and get more skill links going. There's a bunch of stuff that doesn't necessarily mean straight grinding for levels, but I think you dropping the difficulty will help a lot.
Welcome to the Nintendo Leaker Twitter account, where the leaks are made up and the insiders don't matter.
How I wish F-Zero GX was on the switch. Could be just a straight port too...Got you covered:
I'm not a Metroid fan, but if I would wait for almost two decades to get a new mainline entry of my favourite franchise, I think I would be disappointed if Nintendo wouldn't develop it in-house. I really hope for all of you that Mercury Steam is making a masterpiece!
One of the things that differentiates this month for me is that we're so close to the final quarter of the year now I expect Nintendo have to make announcements. Some of the more on the ball analysts also seemed to conclude recently that there'd be news by the end of this month. Add in what we're hearing from Nate and the Captain, and the signs are stronger now than they were last month.
AM2R is a better remake of Metroid 2 by a landslide. I guess at least they tried to do something interesting with Samus Returns.
I do agree though I'd much prefer them with some freedom vs. them and Nintendo co-developing. Sakamoto isn't my favorite dude at Nintendo.
At this point just give metroid to an indie studio and make it a rogue like in the same style as Dead Cells
Glad to see we're on the same page! In retrospect, it was fairly obvious it was a joke haha
I've only played Sunshine, and even then never finished it. I'm so hyped.
Hmmm, I dunno, given that they didn't shadow drop the Indies it seems unlikely they will for first party stuff, assuming they've got something meaty (and I count the Mario 3D Collection as something meaty).
You need to pray to Captain Dill Spalcon, the only one who can make this possible.
I really enjoyed the Metroid 2 remake on 3DS, so I think the next one they put out will be pretty good too and this time will have an even better control for it. Also, as an F-Zero fan the best one wasn't even made by Nintendo, it was made by some of the people behind Yakuza. If only they could pry that bastard away from that series, but the dude basically just physically embodies the series now.
Maybe one day.
Is the best one, a gem of a game. 2 and 3 have more content, but the tension the first time you play 1 is magical.
It really sucks it's confirmed No More Directs for the rest of 2020, but we should all be happy to be alive tbqh.
I'm also tempted but I have been kinda going crazy with buying games lately despite lacking time to actually play them.
I suppose this one would also count as exercise, though, so maybe I should also just pull the trigger.
No one. You shouldn't take everything that's said in here for gospel. :P
Because this thread moves between the absurd contradiction of being the place where we get informed but at the same time people don't want the information to be accessible, but at the same time they don't want it to be hidden either. So we make this nonsense of hidden content tags and offtopic chat that transforms the thread into something impossible to follow, forcing people to waste their day here to keep track of the rumours or else ask each afternoon the same things.
I just don't think it is a solution, because the problem is that the thread objective is to keep us informed but at the same time to make us fight for that information in a jungle of noise. It's really frustrating for anyone that doesn't really have much time.
Still expecting something on the 28. The optimists say a General, the pesimists a Micro Partner Showcase. I'm leaning towards the General, but 2020 was taught me not to trust Nintendo marketing too much.
I think if there is not a general direct this month, nintendo needs to release a statement. At least saying that "covid had affected development making it difficult to openly discuss projects in flux, we will speak more about our plans for the rest of 2020 in the near future, and begin to tell you about games for 2021 early next year"
it would be stating the obvious, but it would at least be communication rather than radio silence, and it would properly set expectations.

You have two options:
- Participate in this fun OT
- Don't participate in this fun OT and just ask every now and then what's up
I don't understand why this is so difficult for you.
The statement will be: "You will play Pikmin 3 and you'll like it. Also some of you have not even finished 3 Houses' 4 routes, so stop complaining and play the fucking game. Best regards and stay safe".
Still on board the 28th train for a Direct related thing.

geoff is great, but he's been known to hype things up that Ultimatley end up not living up to the expectations he set. Take it with a grain of salt.

just thought it was a fun little quote
3 is too generous with the time you have to complete the game, if you play decently you'll have enough fruit reserves to finish the game twice. It kind of removes some of the tension and magic.
Just did, nothing found😅
I knew it, LOL
A Cod announcement is not enough to say that the next week will be week for games, but yeah, he maybe don't know anything

In terms of sales? Absolutely. Nintendo's 2020 looks mighty fine in that regard!
No offence, but you are a bit naive.
Lmao I'm sorry !
I knew it, LOL
don't worry, direct incoming
We're relentlessly optimistic.
For good reason this time. When even Nate tries to hype us all up you know something good's probably coming.
I wanted to do this when I was OP, but it's really not a good idea. Insiders' teases are abstruse and underground by design, and attempts to circumvent that and consequently draw attention to them end up pissing them off and driving them away
Honestly I feel so jaded at this point that I like can't see a general happening. Like I believe that it's super possible, but my brain just can't PERCEIVE it lol.
