Since we are clearly entering a post-video game era, what's everyone's new hobby gonna be?
Do you think first-party publishing could be impacted by the virus, at least in the immediate future?As I said, there was no Direct planned last week. The virus didn't cause any such delay for a Direct for last week or prior to that.
Could the virus impact future plans? Absolutely. We saw it with The Outer Worlds.
Do I have a say in the matter?I'm glad curiosity got the better of me and I checked my notifications. Thank you all for freeing me from drinking urine.
The best proposal so far along Doom Eternal
...."questioning"I mean it isn't toxic to exactly question who these people are, why they do what they do for having their name mentioned 300 times a day
I love the smell of clout-chasers roasting in the morning
I'm thrilled this era of worshipping the almighty "insider" is finally going down in flames and we can stop feeding them their precious attention
... I do have to drink urine, don't I.
Ya'll defend Zippo for having nothing right yet make fun of Sabi after she leaked half of E3 (and I dont even care for Sabi)
Actually kind of funny.
Yep, that's exactly my point.Could the virus impact future plans? Absolutely. We saw it with The Outer Worlds.
Can't dismiss the possibility at this point in time.Do you think first-party publishing could be impacted by the virus, at least in the immediate future?
Such as games that were planned for H1 this year.
Yep, that's exactly my point.
It made sense to label absolute conspiracy the links between Directs and coronavirus when you made that tweet. But, as the days go by and the virus situation is getting worst, we can't exclude some kinds of correlation.

Hey me too, we could make a guild!I've always wanted to get into jewelery making. Growing sapphires and all that stuff, the whole deal.
As someone who is not really affected by the "down" sections of this thread, I would say 2.Here's a Would You Rather, for the sake of keeping this thread going.
Would you rather have....
- Nintendo now drops a trailer for a first party game on the first and third Thursday of the month. The game trailer shown will not be announced ahead of time, so you never know what it will be. It could be an announced first party game, an unannounced first party game, DLC for an existing game, or an e-shop game. But Nintendo Directs will cease to exist, including E3, and Nintendo no longer shows up at TGA, PAX, or any sort of gaming convention. Treehouse segments now take place once every three months, showing only games that we already know about.
- We keep going on our current trajectory, with Nintendo Directs every few months or so and various trailers and gameplay shown at conferences like E3 and TGA.

Only if you really want to.
lmfao
But not something like delaying Animal Crossing again after all this time?
nobody wants this, nobody wants this
Yup, that's me alright. I'm totally willing to take the L on that
I finally wised up and I'm done with insider-worship

While I would advise against it, I'm not going to yuck your yum.
I'm just replying to a question about someone's track record, that's not doom&gloom.Honestly you and your doom&gloom stuff need to chill lol. Whenever someone mentions zippo you're first up to say something snide. What do you get out of that?
True, but it's more a global strategy issue. Nintendo isn't going to release 2 party games next to each other.Makes sense. But at the same time, Intelligent Systems has to be working on something (and I don't think it's just Paper Mario), and the same for NDCube
Don't do it, bro. Good to see you're still in the thread.
I mean I live in one of the few states that has not one, but two confirmed cases, so I know exactly what's going on.Can't dismiss the possibility at this point in time.
Right. My tweet was for that point in time. Not now or future days/weeks. As time progresses and the gap between the September Direct expands, perhaps folks can look at the very real impacts the virus is having and put their personal need/want for a Direct to the side.

no urine for either of usIf you drink your own urine, then I will drink my own urine.
You're too nice to force me to drink my own urine, right?
But not something like delaying Animal Crossing again after all this time?
That's not gonna happen, right?
My state is bordering a state that has a confirmed case and I'll be in Mass next week for PAX. So it's a situation I'm certainly watching.I mean I live in one of the few states that has not one, but two confirmed cases, so I know exactly what's going on.
I mean, maybe not you personally but i bet we could find evidence in the internets about people that would want it.

hey dark cloud's not an insider btw
edit: not directed at you obviously
A couple dozen pages ago in this thread people were discussing the possibility of a Splatoon spin-off. A lot of people speculated an action, platforming, or RPG spin-off of Splatoon.
I think a Splatoon spin-off is very likely (no more content updates for Splatoon 2 for almost a year now, extremely popular game in Japan, Splatoon 3 probably still a while away). But my guess is a rhythm spin-off game. Splatoon has so many in-universe bands and its soundtracks spans a lot of different genres of music. There are some real bangers. Just makes sense!
Indieszero, the company that made the Theatrhythm games for 3DS, worked on Sushi Striker and no word about its next project. My speculation is Indieszero's next project is this.
lmao if you read this thread you'd see not a lot of zippo worship going on, quite the oppositeYup, that's me alright. I'm totally willing to take the L on that

Animal Crossing should have gone gold by now. I'd suspect no delay will happen.

I'm happy to hear that. I know that was a bit of a paranoid question, thank you for answering. :)Animal Crossing should have gone gold by now. I'd suspect no delay will happen.
I use it extensively, the unfortunate part is that insiders for some reason never use it.
Oof lol
I actually just got an email at my job about how we're changing security measures because of the virus... my level of concern with this epidemic has clicked up by one notch. :/The coronavirus is fucking everything and everyone up, man. I'm worried about it. Any word on if it's slowing down?
Wait, he's banned again?
