Don't mind me, just posting to say that I enjoyed the Bayonetta 3 reveal.
Probably Nintendo's big reveal at TGA now that Smash is off the table permanently.
Clearly they should set it so that when you select it on NSO it will give you a red flashing warning sign of "HOLY SHIT THIS GAME IS SUPER NOT FOR GOOD BOYS AND GIRLS"
Obviously not that specific language but I could definitely see them including Conker but with some sort of warning. It's a popular enough game I could see them adding it.
Yeah, but it's pretty plausible that Little Timmy could pick up his dad's Switch and end up playing it unsupervised. I just don't think Nintendo would be too keen to let that scenario come to fruition.
Not like most parents would be on the lookout for a game like THAT as part of a Nintendo subscription.
Not unless the N64 app itself is rated M and you blocked it entirely.
I was actually really disappointed when it turned out it wasn't Astral Chain 2
Nothing against Bayo 3, I loved the first two games and I'll probably enjoy 3 just as much. I just preferred Astral Chain and would be really hyped for a sequel
I still had hope haha, especially after Definitive Edition was announced back in September 2019. Just depends on how release dates fall, and I had my fingers crossed for a relatively early 2022 release for it.
GB/GBC base tier with NES/SNES
GBA expansion tier with N64/Genesis
I guess that's how this will work?

If it was only in the expansion tier -- and assuming it's still launching in the near future -- I don't see why they wouldn't have mentioned it in the Direct. If it's coming to both tiers, then it sort of makes sense not to mention it, because you don't want to upgrade the base tier at the same time you're trying to upsell people. I guess.
Right. Today's focus was on the Expansion tier.
GB/GBC is coming. Tom Phillips also stated as much. I can't see them waiting until September 2022 to add GB/GBC. Let's see what they have to share next month.
Well, why make Genesis games expansion tier?
Cuz Nintendo, that's why.
I loved the direct. Thought it was one of the best ones in recent years. I'm gonna need Smash 64 though, and also the Mario movie is gonna fucking suck a loooooooot
Good for a September Direct since those are usually middling, but it's not one of the all time great ones like February 2019 and the last two E3s. I was generally pleased but not jumping on tables excited.
There were a lot of things I thought would be here that weren't like Klonoa, Resident Evil (as you said), and GBC NSO. I don't like to play the annoying "but where was *blank,* Nintendo?!" like an obnoxious youtuber, though, especially since what was here was solid.
I would give it a B+.
So here is 2022 at the moment
January- Pokemon Legends: Arceus
March- Triangle Strategy
Spring- Kirby and the Forgotten Land
2022 but no time frame-
Splatoon 3
Bayonetta 3
Mario + Rabbids: Spark of Hope
The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2
Announced but no date at all-
Detective Pikachu 2
Metroid Prime 4
I am gong to guess that Kirby is April/May, Splatoon is summer like June/July. Bayonetta gets August/September, Zelda gets the coveted November slot.
Unannounced guesses-
Casual game in April/May to go opposite Kirby.
Fire Emblem 4 Remake in summer
Prime 1 reboot in Fall
Donkey Kong or 3D Mario in the Fall
PS3 on NSO in October
2022 is looking stacked

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is supposedly slotted for 2022 too. Potentially H1.
I am not dropping Xenoblade in my predictions until we get an announcement. The timing does seem right though
I knew I forgot something!
Well thanks for your effort Nate. Can't wait to hear your takes and discussion with MVG
You know... now that I think about it, I wonder if Silksong is big enough now that it might show up at TGAs. I think it's outgrown an Indies show at this point, assuming we get another one in December
Maybe weird question. I didn't watch the Direct live but from what I'm seeing in the various threads it's quite a few threads it didn't go down very well. I personally thought it was a fun event, but whatever. Wasn't in the discord so could somebody tell me the average take there? Didn't see too many familiar faces so I'm guessing folks watched it there...
EDIT: I didn't realize you were talking about the discord for this thread and not just Era discords in general.
The direct went well with people who saw the games they wanted, and poorly with people who didn't see the games they wanted. Like usual.
I think lots of us in the discord liked it! I thought it was great. Bayo 3 and Kirby look awesome, N64 NSO is a great addition, and CV collection was the perfect shadowdrop
February 2021: "Splatoon fan freaks out about Splatoon 3 announcement"
June 2021: "Metroid fan freaks out about Metroid Dread announcement"
September 2021: "Nintendo fans freak out about Chris Pratt playing Mario"

I'm confused as well. lol Was wondering if the split of audience had anything to do with the response here. I kinda want to go where everybody knows my name and all that.
A huge chunk of the regular Nintendo fans here have moved on or are planning to move on due to the MC debacle. Most of the hype happened elsewhere.
I think H1 has been an assumption. It is coming in 2022, however.
This may be very specific so I'm not sure if you know, but anything about Hellena Taylor being recast? Is it for plot reasons or did conflict happen?
What do you mean split audience? I mean, I always want to be where everybody knows my name and all that, but, wait a second --
What do you mean moved on? Did a lot of people leave the site recently or something?
I feel I'm out of the loop. What's going on
