Supposing that there IS a September Direct, the decision not to include this trailer within it could be justified with the intent of not having the trailer compete for attention with new announcements.
All eyes on Metroid and its cool exciting shit, basically.
One of these should be Captain Syrup, for old time's sake.After the rest of the marketing tried so hard to hide the bottom row of characters, Nintendo Minute just go and ruin it today, smh
All five of them were already spotted on the Japanese site, so no surprises like that unfortunately.
The five are Red, Master Mantis, Lulu, Penny and Pyoro
The game is already in the middle of its marketing phase, there's no need to save it until September Direct.
It's already announce but maybe we'll get a dubbed trailer at the Direct.👀

I hope so
I really think that the lack of English trailers so far has been a huge marketing misstep
hasn't it been announced for a while that the game has 18 characters? This doesn't really reveal anything newAfter the rest of the marketing tried so hard to hide the bottom row of characters, Nintendo Minute just go and ruin it today, smh
It was never officially announced (but like I said, the official site ended up giving them away anyway); they made it a point to only show the first 13 in marketing. The overview trailer went as far as hiding the final five slots, even.
Even in the Nintendo Minute video they're using a save that has nobody past 5-Volt unlocked, despite the additional slots now being there.
I keep meaning to do that and then I forget and then I see this thread again and keep meaning to do that... and then forget.
I should that, then forget I'm in the server instead!
Surprised it's so low in handheld and so (relatively) high in docked. Wonder what's going on there.
People who say there shouldn't be any accessibility options for people who want to get into FROM games are clowns imo. The ones that say "get gud" are especially annoying.
Like in what way would having an easy mode change the essence of the games if there is still the normal difficulty that FROM games have. There's nothing wrong in having sliders to tone down certain things. Like I really don't get it and this is coming from someone that loves playing games on hard mode.
This gatekeeping that is in the FROM community is incredibly annoying. For example, I'm glad SMT Nocturne got an easy mode to make it more accessible for people so why can't FROM games have one?

I've played 15 minutes of NMH3 and it's already my GOTY. Chances are Dread and maybe SMTV will dethrone it, though. I can't believe MH Rise might not even make it to top 3, but 2021 is just that good.

Axiom Verge 2 absolutely crushed it on the accessibility (difficulty wise), manually changing damage received and dealt would be the perfect implementation in FROM games
Ahh I remember where I learned it, the latest round of press:It was never officially announced (but like I said, the official site ended up giving them away anyway); they made it a point to only show the first 13 in marketing. The overview trailer went as far as hiding the final five slots, even.

(Warning, GameExplain)
Actual bold prediction. Metroid Dread sells more than Prime 4.
🥺
it warms my heart so much that y'all enjoy my shitposting antics and think they make the thread a better place!
I'm always worried about overdoing it, being annoying, or making people feel bad – shitposting can be the razor's edge and I never want to use that power for bad vibes™
thank you, gang, knowing that I'm bringing at least a few smiles made my fucking day

Aren't these resolutions comparable to Doom Eternal? Except that's a solid 30fps all the way through. I've been playing it in handheld mode and it's ok, by no means unplayable. I think people viewing those analysis videos on their monitors get a worse impression. I might also have lower standards.
The character select screen is weirdly Smash-esque. Not Ultimate but more Smash 4.After the rest of the marketing tried so hard to hide the bottom row of characters, Nintendo Minute just go and ruin it today, smh
Celeste is another good example that added really great accessibility options in the game.
I don't think the Doom games go above 720p in Docked, might be wrong there.
That's so bad lol
I'm definitely waiting for a sale for a variety of reasons. Just too much good shit to play rn!
There is no reason, they just want to feel superior and gatekeep as you said. And this is coming from a HUGE From fan. For me, personally, "getting gud" and learning to beat Sekiro was an amazing and rewarding experience, but it's not going to be that way for everyone. And everyone deserves to be able to play games at various difficulties and with various levels of accessibity. There's no reason why From games couldn't have the "usual" difficulty as the baseline, and just add in a lower difficulty option, or more. It would only let more people get into the games that otherwise wouldn't, or even couldn't.
This is another good option. Plus there are already PC mods that do exactly stuff like this, so why not just make it an available option in-game? It's just better for everyone, and hurts nobody.
Definitely a reference I think haha.
I wonder if WW will get post launch support. I can think of a few more characters that could get in (5 being jimmy's relatives but still lol)
I remember people gave me shit when I said it was obvious Bravely Default 2 was built for more powerful hardware and downported to Switch.

Why would that be the case, even with the existence of a PC version?
There's nothing even to indicate that. It's not like it's the first game made for a console to have frame rate hiccups.
IIRC Doom Eternal is 540p on handheld with some drops to 400p levels during busy moments. NMH3 is literally lowest resolution I've ever experience on handheld mode. But I suppose it's because of lack of optimization. There has to be a patch to improve it a little.
I've seen some reviews saying the older games are better, and while I didn't play them yet I just want to fight the psycho ET honestly 😬 I'll probably finish Minute of Islands and then pick NMH3
It also works the other way around like when people dislike the low difficulty on Pokémon
I've seen people mentioning artistic vision or something, but developers could just make a default/recommended setting while also leaving customization options
Yep the more options the better

The performance was shaky and the game looked grimy as hell. It was always trying to punch above it's weight. Loved the game on Switch, but when I played it the game definitely felt compromised from what it seemed it was intended to be. Same deal with No More Heroes 3, in my opinion.
Yeah that's a good point too. There's basically no reason we can't have lower difficulties in FROM games as well as higher difficulties in Pokemon games. More options all around!
I don't think BD2's resolution was really any different that Octopath's... and well would you suggest Xenoblade 2 was developed for more powerful hardware and ported down? Or Yoshi's Crafted World?
I misread the Eurogamer article, it says Doom Eternal goes as low as 360p, not that it was 360p. But yeah, I wouldn't object to any improvement patches. I think TSA was 720/540 for docked/handheld and pretty consistent on framerate. I know III is a bit more ambitious, but they managed to retain comparable performance for docked.
Those two games are due to a lack of optimization especially NMH 3.
We saw how much changed in a month due to optimizing. I remember seeing the open world for the first time and the framerate would go so damn low. Now it looks far more consistent.
Let's not compare first party developed games to third party games from a publisher that has already done timed exclusives on Switch and later ported them elsewhere.
The comparison is made because even game's tailor made for Switch sometimes target similar metrics so you can't assume that they were secretly building to another spec and porting down, especially when the Switch is the primary platform for the titles.
I don't think it's controversial to say that the assets Grasshopper make for their games overshoot what the Switch should be doing. Travis Strikes Again, despite having a very drawn out perspective, actually carried a lot of high fidelity assets. The game looked like this
Yet the actual lossless character models would look like this
And the fidelity of those models was largely carried over into 3, you can even tell in some of the clearly PC build shots that are on the official website. This is what the game was seemingly designed to look like from the onset.
It's a shame that the Switch can't carry that fidelity. I think Grasshopper could certainly push out another patch or two to improve NMH3's performance on Switch but I'm not sure how much more they're gonna get out of it. They clearly put more emphasis to get the docked experience look decent, and it does moderately on that front for an engine that has a lot of memory bandwidth challenges. I was actually surprised how the final experience ended up pretty fluid in combat, it couldn't have been easy to prioritize high frame rate when the action gets so visually hectic in the game.

I kind of think the opposite. Obviously a lot of the assets in the promotional trailers were for more powerful systems, but some of the design changes suggest to me it really was designed with the Switch in mind. Not just stuff like the motion controls, but moving from linear levels to self contained single room arenas for the designated matches or the shoot'em up segments that are in sparse space environments are probably to help the game run at higher framerates. It's a little disappointing because we ended up with a game that doesn't perform very well on the intended platform and even when there's a port to higher end systems, it'll still have some of the odd design decisions even if it's better from a technical perspective.
