Swedes have a similar sense of humour to us in my experience too ...
It's more satirical, dry and self deprecating than other cultures.. Again, in my experience.
And of course it's different... Have you seen what Germans laugh at?

Third party property ok. I'm the one who read that wrong lol. Oups.
If it's intense push I guess it goes way forward.
You usually push forward though.

It might indicate, but not confirm, that there's some sort of exclusivity on it. At least timed.
Though mind you, it could also only mean that Nintendo got the marketing deal, similar to Dark Souls back then.
We germans? Laugh? Who told you this fairy tale?
;]
I dunno, if it's just a "normal game", I'd feel like they would just showcase it in the next Nindies Presentation or something like that.
I think that people that wouldn't try the devs other games after a playing a game from a known IP by them, wouldn't have played those games either way.
Yes good games should get recognition, no matter if they are part of a franchise or not.
Some people are just blind to small stuff and only look at "big blockbuster" games and IPs.
But to get on topic, yeah I could ssee it something along the lines of Bomberman R, something that gets associated with 90s Nintendo and now maybe has some kind of timed exclusivity?
Really wondering what this game might be given that WayForward was at New Game + Expo a couple weeks back and they didn't show anything new then.
Probably Switch exclusive, but also so much other stuff in that conference was too that like, would it have made much of a difference if it was announced there?
Would be cool if this is a new IP or something and a playable Nintendo character was in it.

it seems notable enough to not be an indie of sorts, but no im not expecting anything big and neither should anyone really.
Directs are for big announcements, and the only announcements Treehouse has ever gotten are smaller scale ones.
So I mentioned that I thought the next Banjo Kazooie needed "British humour" behind it, and I got shat on with it descending into "British exceptionalism" comments? Is this for fucking real, era?
"a franchise new to WayForward" would be an extremely strange way to describe a completely new IP
There's a difference between "cynicism" and just not getting on the OMG HYPE TRAIN!!!!!!!!! More people should learn that.
So essentially Nintendo is lending a franchise to WayForward for them to make a game for.
Which will it be? Metroid would make the most sense, seeing as how Shantae is already in the Metroidvania variety.

It's not Nintendo related according to Nintendo.
Edit: Beaten.
It's hilarious that Nintendo clarified that. I dont think they ever have before for something like this.
Oh I missed that.
Weird that they would bundle that into a Threehouse Direct about Paper Mario? Maybe Castlevania then? I mean they did do Contra before!
I understood it wrong. Thought it was Wayforward's own IP but it's an existing 3rd.
I guess that's a bit intriguing, because there's more choice. It's probably gonna be something very "relevant" nowadays.
Why does it have to be "associated with Nintendo" but more importantly, what is associated with Nintendo ?
When you think about all the games from 3rd party that released since the NES, it can be anything. That is, if the IP even was on a Nintendo system once (probably but we never know).
Eh, WayForward had more new announcements at LimitedRunGames's expo than they did for NG+, and LRG is a digital-to-physical publisher. I think we all overestimated NG+ a bit. I think this could be a relatively "big" thing, though I'd still temper expectations.
Treehouse Live at E3 was often used as a venue to premiere and promote games that didn't appear in the initial video presentation. If there's an upcoming Direct, the WayForward game probably isn't part of it.
If there is the next direct, it could be solely Nintendo games. It is reported that Nintendo told third parties to announce their games outside of a Nintendo event.
I wonder if it's another NES game revival sorta thing like we've seen with the 8-bit "Bloodstained", River City Girls, and Blaster Master Zero. What's a big name NES title that could be big enough to get this kind of treatment, but not important enough that the original developer wouldn't be making it? A new Boy and his Blob perhaps? Metal Storm?
I think the fact they're announcing a Wayforward game(in a third party IP) flies in the face of that logic though.
That's true and I thought of it after you already quoted me so I can't edit my post and stick a different game in there.
This is really what I'm hoping for, but I'm not getting my hopes up too much. Circle of the Moon on the GBA was my introduction to the franchise and I have been completely obsessed with the Metroidvania style of games ever since and I would love nothing more than a new Castlevania game in that style, which Konami has seemingly given up on.
I don't think that's particular relevant if third parties were told to handle their own announcements.
Isn't it though? I don't think Nintendo owns the rights to or but splits it with HAL?
they certainly know how to handle the internet. the whole Pokemon Unite fiasco recently shows just how wild expectations can get
That's from one report and to date, only EA made their announcement, with no Switch specific trailers, so that's maybe a few minutes shaved off.
There were also a bunch of smaller announements like Ys IX but I doubt it's all the 3rd party stuff.
That line seems to be a garbled misunderstanding. If a direct is coming on the 20th, what likely happened is Nintendo told 3rd parties to announce their stuff in June if they can't wait till the later July direct, which at the time may not have had a month or date set. Somehow that got reported as Nintendo told 3rd parties to announce all their stuff on their own, full stop.
Even if they would/are sharing the ownership with someone, it would still be a Nintendo IP. Same goes for Fire Emblem, and a more recent example Astral Chain.
Gotcha, I'll decide if it's a shame after this mystery game gets announced. I like shantae so I have some faith in wayforward.
It isnt Nintendo focussed if it is Nintendo focussed it was an IP that was maybe only on a Nintendo console in the past but isnt from Nintendo.
My thought is that the Shantae series being complete on the Switch would be a thing I could see coming in a direct.
I'm still hoping for that announcement of a direct.
