>tfw Sega legit wants Sonic to be ass successful as Mario
>they're still arrogant enough to see themselves as a rival
Fuckin'... Samus Aran is unironically a more successful and beloved platformer mascot than Sonic. Sega, you can't even step to Nintendo's B-listers. Sit your ass DOWN.

>>719046993
Samus should be in there, labelled "Continues to do just fine.".

>>718947879
Good. That means it's a normal video game that prioritizes being an enjoyable experience.

If they're doing single-game Directs for the first-parties and Partners/Indies for everything else, I'd really like to think they'll do a Prime 4 Direct at some point. But the realist in me is thinking they'll just see the Gamescom demo (which will probably be the same as the Switch 2 event demo) as enough and they'll just say "Oh yeah, it's coming in 2025, we swear, never mind the fact that we don't have new content to show since April" throughout the whole thing

>>718205319
Good for them, but mine's still gonna be Prime 4 (If it IS this year at this rate)

>>718018565
I guess that recent news about Sony transitioning into third-party hit em real hard. No doubt they wanted Nintendo to do it first

>>717899365
They just did a Pokemon Presents, so no way ZA's getting that much time to itself in a Direct. So maybe Air Riders instead, and honestly, a 20-minute Direct just about Prime 4 and that would be fine by me at this point

>>717878184
That and they got X-Men and Fantastic Four back, so we're out of the era where they pretended they didn't exist

>>717857059
This year. That's all we know. A common story for upcoming Nintendo releases people actually give a shit about, really

>>717780105
>announced without a subtitle.
>It hadn't even began preproduction. It was a through and through nothing-announcement.
Now where have I heard that before

>>717772478
My condolences. Like, I have my doubts about it and Prime 4 making it this year, but even Prime 4 has gameplay

>>717532158
I fell for the Flipnote Studio 3D "leak" back when it was called Flipnote Memo. I was at a camp that weekend and was looking forward to getting it on my 3DS when I got back. Obviously, that didn't happen, so after that I vowed "Never again"

>>717529253
Godd thing I'll have Prime 4 by then
Yes, their Gamescom lineup is giving me hope again. Foolish, I know

>>717148017
Nope, not even gameplay, so good luck getting it this year

>>716436640

Vshojo is based in San Fran, my dude. Shoudl tell you everything you need to know

>>715926513
It's definitely before Fusion at least, though I'm expecting them to fit it in that time frame between 1 and 2 to keep tradition

>>715870260
Samoos don't deserve to be dragged in a dick contest

>>715686473
Dread was

>>715578140
Not hard to be when they're the only ones actually making games anymore instead of firing all their employees every other day

>>715464932
I don't see that or Tomodachi Life getting more info. This next Direct, if it does happen when Nate says it will (which, big surprise, I'm pressing X on that), may well just be them going "Alright, FINE, you don't like bananas or wheelchairs, here's your release dates for the other stuff this year, you happy now?"

>>715330443
I was just at Costco today and I can tell you for a fact that I didn't have to use my membership card when I got a hot dog. They know those things sell like hotcakes

>>715101985
For one thing, I don't really know for sure if there would have been a Switch 2

>>715012894
Not to get political, but you have seen what's going on with Asian goods lately, haven't you?

>>714933172
>it could appear same day as a direct.
Let's not get TOO crazy here

>>714855889
The January 2017 presentatino for the first Switch. Now everyone's just trying to be that guy again

>>714711982
Not to mention buying studios and then shutting them down because of those unsustainable budgets (which may or may not be tied to the wokeshit)

>>714631975
If there's anyone AT Rare now anyway

>>714311163
Catch up by actually making games? That'd be nice, Microsoft in particular could sure learn a thing or two from that right now

>>714221309
I got downvoted on Reddit once for assuming the game was made by the Odyssey team just by my observing, well, pretty much everything about it. Mind you, this was before they confirmed the fact. Should tell you everything you need to know about that site

>>714200156
You're gonna be waiting a while for those last two. Just sayin

>>713127372
trvth nuke
but you can pretty much apply this to most western countries that have ties with them

>>712665276
The fact that Nintendo doesn't hold Metroid in nearly the same regard as Zelda (the former's section in the store should be proof enough of that) does make me more confident in the 60-70 pricing for the respective consoles. But then again, they could see stuff like the game running at 60fps at all on the old Switch as reason enough to bump up its price to 70, and the mouse controls and extra performance options would bump up the 2's price to 80 as a result. Now obviously, I don't WANT this to happen, especially since we've been waiting for the game for so long and still no solid release date in sight

>>712590458
It'll probably get a decent bump in July with DK
