NATE HAS FINALLY SPOKEN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYkD9QCBp4Y
>B-but but, leakfags are-
Nate has a 100% perfect track record and never speaks unless the time is right. He is the only to have got the Switch 2 reveal date correctly and format too.
Direct will come in the final part of July.

Now that we know it's real, post:
>DREAMS

>>715446253 (OP)
Just give me MP4 release date and MP2+3 Remastered

If silksong isn’t here, it’s not coming out this year

>>715446253 (OP)
>New mario for the end of the year
mark my words

>>715446253 (OP)
>Nate has a 100% perfect track record
TRUEEEE AND I LOVED THE SWITCH PRO WITH METROID PRIME TRILOGY AND STAR FOX GRAND PRIX, THOSE ALL TOTALLY CAME OUT
man... what a perfect track record he has

Three Houses Switch 2 edition. If it adds Shez I will buy a (digital) copy for every fellow Shezleth believer. Monica would be cool too (if then tone down the Edel simping)

>DREAMS
New F-Zero, Pikmin 5, Animal Crossing New Leaf 2, Xenoblade 4
>EXPECTATIONS
Metroid Prime 4 delayed again, shovelware, Mario Kart World DLC, Paper Mario Sticker Star 4, more $70 ports, Fire Emblem remaster, NSO shit, Kirby Air Riders and Splatoon Raiders barely get any new info because they will have individual directs later
>REALITY
Leakers are wrong about there even being a direct once again.

>>715446934
He never missed when it comes to Directs

>>715446253 (OP)
Didn’t Nate leak a Planet Robobot port and said it was basically confirmed? Where is that and why are there 2 upcoming Kirby games, neither of which are this Robobot port

>>715447093
*they tone down.
It would need to involve a new route tho, akin to what Hopes did. Always funny how the prologue in Hopes speedran through White Clouds.

>>715446253 (OP)
no you don't have a 100% record you fucking drooling faggot.

>>715446641
Silksong is xbox material, retard.

>>715448128
>dude he never miss when he was right that one time who cares about the mostly fake everything else I MUST WORSHIP AND OBEY YOUTUBE. LOYALTY IS BLISS

I just need fucking release dates and gameplay footage
I NEED TO SEE MORE KIRBY AIR RIDERS!

>>715446253 (OP)
Let MonolithSoft stop working on your Marioslop and give me the Xenoblade patches fuckheads.

>>715446934
don't forget about the supposed Kirby Planet Robobot port to Switch 2 in 2025. that's totally sitll happening you guys

>>715446253 (OP)
>DREAMS
Sakurai gets a segment of the Direct and says he has two announcements to share. One is a new trailer for Kirby Air Riders, and the second is an announcement for a Kid Icarus Uprising port with a Joycon Mouse control feature. Sakurai then says something along the lines of "What? Were you expecting something else?" and then leaves.
>EXPECTATIONS
A whole bunch of third party sloppy seconds. Nate even said that we pretty much know Nintendo's first party output for the year.
>REALITY
I don't have a god damn crystal ball.

>>715448643
They have THREE divisions you nigger. Only one of them actually work on xenoblade and the other two are support studios for other nintendo teams.

>>715446253 (OP)
I'm not believing a word that faggot says until Nintendo themselves confirms it.

>>715448794
Cool pull one of them off the Marioslop for a second and give me my Xenoblade patches. Nigger.

>>715446641
Silksong will be shadowdropped on some idle tuesday with nothing but the change of the steam page as notice and it will take 20 minutes for anyone to realise it's out.

I hope we get a smash announcement for the game coming next year
Need to see rosterfag wars taking over threads and social media again

>>715446253 (OP)
PRIME 4 RELEASE DATE WHEN YOU COCKSUCKERS

Please give me kirby air riders gameplay and a release date as well as a new FE.

Is it finally Mother 3 time lads?

>>715446253 (OP)
The Switch 2 has lost it's fire
Its flop gentlemen

Switch 2 port of Fire Emblem Awakening (now with feet!)

>>715446253 (OP)
>DREAMS
To Nintendo never ever mention Bananza ever again. So fucking tired of hearing about it, literally forced: the videogame.

>EXPECTATION
One new big game, probably something from Monolithsoft, some new performancr updates and Switch 2 editions, and A
a bunch of PS4 games that I've already played, but now with DLSS™. Oh and MP4 finally gets a release date.

>REALITY
Same as above, but the worst possible interpretation of it. Nintendo will revive a new franchise but will make it open-world time wasting slop that nobody asked for. Switch 2 editions for Xenoblades 2 and 3, no DLC included. The PS4 games will run and look worse than they did, and MP4 will only get a release month.

give me xenoblade 4 or give me death

>>715449095
>air riders
>gameplay
Ah yes the classic of biggest air dickriders fan never having played that shitty nongame.

>>715449410
It’s amazing how many haters are like “they should change the name now!” Not understanding what brand recognition is.

>>715449483
cry more smash smelly

>>715446253 (OP)
He didn't say last week of July. He said July after Bananza.
Could be next week together with Pokemon Presents.

Makes me think what will happen to September Direct. They were made to coincide with TGS because Nintendo doesn't attend.
If both July and September Directs will happen, then one of them is probably a Partner Showcase

>>715446253 (OP)
>Everyone and their mother say that it makes sense for Nintendo to wait for dong's release before doing another direct
>Nobody cares
>Random leakfag makes the most lukewarm prediction possible
>OH MY GOD HOW IS HE ALWAYS RIGHT! PLEASE IGNORE EVERYTIME HE WAS WRONG! THIS BORING, SAFE PREDICTION IS THE REAL DEAL!
Why are leakfags like this?

I just want a Xenoblade Chronicles X patch so I can finally start it. I don't give a fuck about Mario, DK or Kirby.

>>715448379
No, he literally was never wrong about Directs and even was right when every other "leaker" said there won't be one.
You are free to prove me wrong, but you will just continue seething as you did in the previous thread where Nare was right about the Direct

>>715446253 (OP)
Buy am ad you double nigger

>>715450015
I did already, what will be your seething now?

>>715448324
>first reveal for any console was a direct
>first showed up again this year during a direct
Yeah, definitely just for Xbox presentations.

>>715446253 (OP)
>DREAMS
Silksong release date, a Square/Nintendo RPG team up after the success of the SMRPG remake, KH native ports
>EXPECTATIONS
Some third party games that were announced this summer get Switch 2 versions announced, ports of good games from the last gen that Switch didn't get
>REALITY
Metroid Prime 4 release date, ports of third party games no-one really gives a shit about, Bandai not announcing anything.

sir pls spare me some nintendo direct im a nd addict I need more game releases

>>715451574
This

>>715448324
Then it's really weird that Silksong showed up in the previous direct
Someone should tell Nintendo they made a mistake

Any chances for Mario Maker 3d?

>>715449362
>People bitch when companies don't promote their games
>People bitch when they do promote their games and call it "forced"
You're so fucking retarded.

>>715449792
"After Bananza" just means any time after this week. I doubt they'll do a normal direct and a Pokemon Presents on the same week so it's more likely it'll be in the last week.

>>715446253 (OP)
>never speaks unless the time is right
like when he claimed the ff9r cancellation without being able to verify it?

>>715452497
It was name dropped in the Xbox showcase too

They're not going to do a direct on the same week as the pokemon one. Leaker is a fraud

>>715454926
They did the Switch 1 direct and the Switch 2 direct back to back just this past Spring (within 5 days of one another), I don't think it's totally out of the question.

They're not going to do the Switch 2 direct right after DKC Returns releases. Leaker is a fraud

>>715446253 (OP)
>Nate has a 100% perfect track record and never speaks unless the time is right. He is the only to have got the Switch 2 reveal date correctly and format too.

(You)

>>715454926
Retard-kun, the Pokemon direct is next week.
The month still has 2 weeks after this one.

>>715454926
There's quite literally 4 days of July the week after next.

>>715446253 (OP)
>NATE HAS
I don't give a fuck about Nate.
Anons here on /v/ also said there'd be a direct at the end of July. After Bananza but before the month's end.
And I am going to credit the anons, not Nate.

>>715446253 (OP)
Dreams? Project X Zone 3.

>>715454926
>Leaker is a fraud
Yes.
>They're not going to do a direct on the same week as the pokemon one.
This has happened several times.

>>715446934
These might not be off the table desu. I imagine they came from the same source as the "3D Donkey Kong game by the Mario Odyssey team" rumors. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo held back the rest of those rumored re-releases (Zelda TP + WW collection, Planet Robobot Remake, Prime Trilogy, etc) to release way later down the line as padding during the dryer spells. I feel like Nintendo wants to avoid another 2018 situation where the year was pretty much a drought until Smash in December. Their stock prices tanked by a lot that year.

>REEEing about Nate, who is more reliable that not
>Instead of talking about whatever might arrive on the next Direct
As usual it'll be fun watching you people quietly slither away into your TORtanic hole after the Direct this month. Why are you even here?

>>715446934
The Switch 2 was literally slated as a Switch Pro until it became clear from marketing that this would basically be the Switch 2 (I believe this was from a Bananza interview).
Most Switch 2 titles right now are likely souped up Switch 1 titles that simply ran terribly on the old hardware.

>>715446530
I just want a good remaster of Mario Party 8. The Joy-Con mouse sensor gimmick would by neat.

>>715455996
I can see the 3D Donkey Kong game as being an intelligent guess. There was a big deal made about his redesign in the movie, the DK attachment to Universal Studios and the arcade game's upcoming anniversary.

Genshin impact switch 2 release (maybe)

>>715456838
what is there to be hyped about, it's likely 3rd party with a bunch of titles from the past 3-4 years that everyone already played

>>715457530
That's less to do with what a Pro *should* be and more a consequence of going from a 2015 nvidia SoC to a 2020 nvidia board. Mobile hardware still sees huge changes in performance since a lot of the limiting factors that engineering attacks aren't present in stationary hardware (power restrictions, battery life, small chassis and heat distribution), and so there's more design space to iterate for huge gains.
It is clear that the Switch 2's effective power, while much bigger than the Switch 1, is still limited by the same mobile spirit. Breath of the Wild NS2 Edition still has dynamic res between 900p and 1080p in handheld to sustain the 60 FPS. That's not a bad thing, but it puts into perspective just *how behind* the Switch 1 was, which makes the Switch 2 *just on target* for where it *should* be

>>715457490
>Odyssey 2
The Odyssey team is currently split working on Bananza and the next 3D Mario game, apparently

>>715457673
You joke but having Genshin, HSR, and ZZZ on the Switch 2 would be a game changer for sales and retention numbers. These games eat up phone battery life, and ZZZ doesn't even play well on the phone, so having a semi-mobile platform to officially play these games without choking the phone would carry this system even further down everyone's wishlist.
Remember that the PS5 is a Warzone and Netflix machine

>>715457443

>>715446530
FPBP

>>715449360
Nah we need Fates where everyone is wearing yeezys, timbs and jordans

>>715448794
Not entirely true, a large portion of the xenoblade team worked on botw and totk

id really like to see more official upgrades for their first party stuff. so, so many s1 games just ran poorly and looked bad. system exclusives that couldn't even run on their own hardware. fire emblem games, bayonetta, pikmin, ttyd, advance wars, and the yoshi game... fuck, MOST of the s1 games should be running at 60fps with quick load times and resolution buffs right now. don't understand why we need to wait for this stuff.
i fear they're going to drop feed the upgrades like they do for nso so it looks like they're always giving away something "new" instead of letting me play the games i already own with my new hardware straight away.
anyway, also looking forward to a surprise announcement i don't expect, like some mario puzzle game or non-musou spinoff that ends up being really great.
i really, really don't care about ports of games that came out four years ago, so i hope i don't see much of that.

xenoblade, mario and luigi brothership, and ttyd should be (and probably are) their top priorities right now. as much as I'd bayo 2 and 3 to have their resolutions bumped up as well, they're likely much lower on the totem pole, even behind getting astral chain to 60 fps

Finally, FF9R and dq7r

>>715460065
>Melee on NSO
No serious Melee players would touch it because of GCN NSO's atrocious input lag. If Nintendo is able to get the lag within 3-4f then maybe. On Wind Waker it's like half a fucking second.

>>715455632
Who the fuck gives an electric rat’s ass about these glorified mobile slop advertisement directs? Pokémon will never be as great as it once was.

>>715460435
Yeah but I'd still like to have it. It's just weird Smash has been avoided on NSO thus far considering they've already tossed all the N64 Mario Party games and Kart 64 onto NSO.

>>715446253 (OP)
>MKW DK DLC reveal with a DK Island map and K. Rool, Diddy, Dixie, Funky, and Young Pauline as playable racers, plus new costumes for DK and Pauline
I'd bet money on it.

>>715447093
I love them so much....

>>715460505
Smash 64 is definitely coming, it was shown in a menu by accident. If I had to guess, Nintendo is willing to make that one available because the competitive scene for it is miniscule and it wouldn't interfere with Ultimate sales (or sales of any future Smash games). Melee is a different story.

>>715457490
Ngl an Odyssey 2 or whatever would be redundant as fuck with Bananza on the way, gimmie a brand new refined take on Wario World instead

I WANT PIKMIN 5 I DON'T CARE IF 4 ISN'T TOO LONG AGO

>>715457673
Palworld on Switch 2 would be the Good Shit!

>>715460654
As the other post said though, comp melee wouldn't move to NSO. Everyone's already set up and comfortable on their preferred Melee releases and unless NSO adds in online matchmaking and is 1:1 with GCN, it wouldn't be a major draw.
Their core Smash base also primarily buys the newest games due to the hype around them.

>>715459838
Absolutely. It's the best F-Zero IMO. Praying they lean toward 99 more than they do X or GX

>>715457656
>I don't even see the game anymore, just floating numbers

>>715458079
Yeah Nintendo players is the biggest untapped userbase for MHY.
>ZZZ doesn't even play well on the phone
I'm playing on PS5 and the new area added in 2.0 runs like absolute shit on it. Pokemon SV level bad if not worse.

>>715460820
Melee getting added would really only appeal to casuals, which isn't inherently a bad thing. I happen to like the single player content of that game; it's not too bloated and certain elements actually add some challenge.

>>715460065
>Resident Evil 2 on N64 NSO
I can't see them doing it, as they'll just port the remakes

>>715457656
I never did do that mode. I wanna resume my replay on switch 2 but that would mean not being able to use the code that disabled the pause music. Worst thing they’ve ever done. None of them actually play test it.

>>715448905
Mariochads run this show.

>>715461007
They have the whole 18+ N64 app so it would be useful in terms of beefing the catalog up (right now it's just Turok games and a couple other things, right?)
Also, the remakes are already on Switch if I recall. They're cloud versions, but I doubt Capcom is gonna put in the effort to make a new release.

>>715459270
to be fair, thatw as before they created the new divisions, thats oen of the reason why xenoblade 2 relased the way it was

Switch 2 already has more than PS5/Xbox kek

>>715460693
DKB was a Wario game until they realized that it would become one of the few "launch" titles for S2 and Wario is not a strong MC for that.
destruction to get valuables is a Wario thing, it feels tremendously out of place for DK.

>>715461181
It was always planned to be a Donkey Kong game though.

>>715461105
I get what you're saying, but i can't see them just putting the 2 N64 port, and possibly the 3 Gamecube port, on the NSO when the original didn't have any kind of Nintendo port to put on either for the whole trilogy
>I doubt Capcom is gonna put in the effort to make a new release.
They are 100% going to do native ports of the remakes, 7 and 8, this isn't even debatable. 7, 2make and 3make all got native PS5 versions even though they were perfectly playable already.

>>715461181
They confirmed it was a DK game from the very beginning since 2017, dumbass. The Mario Movie model for DK also stems from Bananza, that was the origin of the redesign.

>>715460626
I love you for also loving them.

I hope for more splatoon stuff. Raiders is probably a 2026 release but im greedy and want it sooner. Splat 3 extra content works too.

>>715459838
Well yeah there’s a whole discord based around it

2 months away from 2nd anniversary update

>>715460204
Ew, no thanks.

>>715446253 (OP)
I wish mods would ban you leakfucktards.
You could have just posted a thread about speculation for a possible Direct, or what games anons would like to see announced. In typical OP fashion, you had to suck some eceleb's cock.

>>715449362
>So fucking tired of hearing about it, literally forced: the videogame.
This is unfortunately the pattern for all their first party games going forward. Shill it heavily for a month, ignore everything else, and limit news of what else is on the way so people buy it because they think there's no other games coming for months.

I think it's gonna be a smaller direct

>>715460820
The main draw of NSO Melee for compfags would be tournament legal setups that don't require lugging cumbersome 25-year-old hardware around. Slippi is obviously a non-starter. If they were able to get it working at Slippi levels with no extra lag people would absolutely make the switch, and I feel like if they did anything less they'd get shit on relentlessly. The Melee community is WILDLY autistic about this game, anything less than perfection would be met with insane amounts of hostility.

>If Nintendo is able to get the lag within 3-4f then maybe. On Wind Waker it's like half a fucking second.

And this is a big deal too because of Nintendo being so against emulation, fans have already figured it out, they may as well just swallow their damn pride and work with fans on improving Gamecube NSO but let’s be real this is fucking Nintendo we're talking about, not Sega.

StarFox Adventures is owned by Rare like DK64 is. It's never gonna happen.

Why are Nintendo fans so miserable that in these threads their predictions for "reality" are always the worst shit imaginable? Has Nintendo really burned you that hard? I somehow doubt it.

>>715457490

>>715460654
The would only beg the question, why did it take so long?? Was the long wait so it can coincide with something else?? Was it the fear of it cannibalizing Ultimate’s sales?? We’ll never know. Remember last year they shadowdropped the Starfy games on NSO around the same time as Emio, can we get something cool like that again with idk Sonic Advance Trilogy with Crossworlds?

>>715462491
Did he ever talk about FE4? It originated in 2020 from a ResetEra poster who said it came to him in a dream. And everyone repeated this like it was true, but reality it was probably mid Engage development

The devs don’t seem to know what to do with 99 anymore, every weekend event is just a rotation of dedicated GPs showing up more often, Machine Shuffle where every player is assigned the same machine in a race or Mini World Tour which is the current event.

I mean we could still get the remaining Stellaview Tracks but it only consist of 3 Forest and 2 Metal Fort Tracks.

>>715461007
Megaman 64, & Bass and Soccer on NSO, I mean Capcom and their lazy asses just dumped the whole Gameboy catalog on NSO, I wouldn’t put it past them, Legends 2 never got a 64 port so that’s out of the question

He's still alive, but doesn't post as often anymore.

Here's his current account https://x.com/eb576dcfe
He leaked the Persona 4 revival logo few weeks ago then deleted it.

>>715446253 (OP)
Realistic expectations only

>stuff we know about
Prime 4 deep dive with release date, probably September.
Gameplay reveal + trailer for Kirby Air Riders and a release date for early December.
Age of Imprisonment and Splatoon Raiders trailers, one of them will be out in November, the other might be January or February of 2026.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land Switch 2 Edition stuff.
An awkward section of them trying to come up with a reason to care about Drag x Drive.


>no shows outside of a sizzle reel
Duskbloods
Tomodachi life
Rhythm Heaven Groove
Pokémon ZA

>new announcements
1 or 2 "Switch 2 editions" probably for this fall. My guesses are Mario Wonder and Pikmin 4.
1 or 2 new Switch 2 game reveals for 2026. My guesses are a Fire Emblem game and something from either Next Level Games or Camelot.
An announcement regarding the next Mario movie which comes out in less than a year from now.
NSO updates.
Mario Kart World getting a free content update in the form of costumes for characters that don't have any or very few and online events. Maybe announcing DLC for next year, but probably not.

>Third Party content
Switch 2 Editions of a few third party games like The Witcher 3.
Elden Ring, FF7Remake, and other release dates.
A handful of third party ports of games the Switch 2 could run well enough, and at least one that it probably won't run well on. My guesses are at least one of these: Resident Evil 8 it RE4 remake, BG3, something from Atlus, 2 Namco titles, and something from Microsoft.
People will shitpost about the ports.

>DREAMS
Mario RPG 2, New Fire Emblem, New Animal Crossing, New Zelda game
>Expectations
a bunch of indie shit, some DLC and 1 genuinely new and decent looking game
>REALITY
a bunch of indie shit, some DLC and 1 genuinely new and decent looking game

Thing is who would be the Pauline stand in for Wario Land: Wahnanza

>>715462721
I’m just messing with you

>>715463834
Very good art but should be Ashley

>>715463030
>Sakurai announcing Smash Ultimate Switch 2 version with all the missing modes from past games returning, DLC characters added to World of Light and Palutena's Guidence being added for all DLC characters

That would completely kill Air Riders dumbfuck tsk tsk tsk

>>715462370
gamecube, SD card adapter and HDMI adapter cost less than a switch 2, it wouldn't benefit tournaments unless they wanted to suck off nintendo really hard with only official hardware

>>715464054
Agreed but maybe an Ashley that isn’t so moody, I think Penny would be a better fit since she’s the opposite of Ashley.

>>715449362
>To Nintendo never ever mention Bananza ever again. So fucking tired of hearing about it, literally forced: the videogame.
You will not hear from it anymore a week after it launches, as it happens with every first party game.

>>715462735
a. nintendo owns everything made with their IP
b. several rare games published by microsoft are already on NSO
c. DK64 already came out on the wii u VC back when microsoft and nintendo were still competing

>>715449362
>To Nintendo never ever mention Bananza ever again. So fucking tired of hearing about it, literally forced: the videogame.
I have extreme loli fag and Pauline fatigue, thats all I ever see on the catalog

Will we finally get a release date for rhythm heaven

>>715464932
Probably not, maybe 25%

It comes out next year, so they might wait until the direct sheet this one

>Sakurai is shown in the Direct introducing Kirby Air Riders
>”One more thing…”
>It’s Smash Ultimate Deluxe with new characters and season passes that will last for the entirety of the Switch 2 life cycle

>>715465053
>season passes
I hate fags that enabled this nonsense of spending half the price of a new game on 4 new characters.

>>715465053
I don’t want more smash dlc but I miss sakurai

>>715460908
he leaked too much now ninjas are so after his ass

It better fucking be Elden Ring for d/l the day of. Fucking thing is 3 years old and already stamped by ESRB and a download key at that. There's nothing to hold back on, nothing to press or print. Just fucking release it already!

>>715462208
Replayed star fox adventures recently.
Wouldve been better as a non-star fox game

>NateTheHate: Some 3rd Party developers are choosing not to announce their Switch 2 games yet.

>"Capcom, Sega, Ubisoft, Namco and many others are just waiting. They have games they want to announce. Switch 2 has a lot of support coming."

>>715465806
hope this doesn't mean its a partner showcase

>>715465806
I hope that “support” doesn’t just mean shitty ports. I want new games.

>>715466010
Oh most of these will 100% be ports. But i'm sure they will announce at least 1 new game each.

>>715465806
>Capcom, Sega, Ubisoft, Namco
Ubisoft you can fuck off

>>715466010
expect ports and remasters

>>715448716
I wouldn't say that's entirely out of the question, a port job wouldn't be too hard to cobble together for a shadowdrop to go along with a direct or to supplement releases throughout the year. Haven't seen anything yet, but I could believe Nintendo's making more ports considering how many Switch 1 had.

>>715466770
All on key cards no less.

So uh.......

What's the chance of Zelda WW|TP HD remasters coming out for Nintendo Switch 2?

Or will we get stucked with the inferior GameCube versions for Switch Online app?

>>715466952
TWW HD was a sidegrade to me. It had some good QOL decisions but not a fan of the bloom that much, but it was fun to play through. Completing figurines alone was much better to do (btw impossible to get the Knuckle one in NSO).
TP HD fucked with the horse controls, underwater swimming controls, and visually looks horrible. Like a fan made “upscaled” textures that just did a batch conversion on everything.

-Metroid Prime 4 release date/collector's edition
-MP2+3 HD
-Xenoblade series patch
-Monolithsoft new IP

>>715446253 (OP)
>DREAMS
Kimishima returns as president and Furukawa gets bent over for ever introducing key cards to third parties.
Previously released third party games get true physical releases and Sega sucks my cock for gimping Raidou and Shadow Gens and give upgrade paths free of charge.
We also get an Uprising sequel.
>EXPECTATIONS
Prime 4 gets a release date.
Forgotten Land upgrade gets an extended trailer.
Tomodachi Island and Rhythm Heaven get new trailers.
Atlus is gonna be a jew and rerelease SMTVV for Nintendo Switch 2 with no way to upgrade for the retards who bought it on Switch 1.
Air Riders gets shown and gets delayed to early 2026.
>REALITY
Nothing ever happens or we get overpriced third party key cards of games no one actually asked for like Fallout 76 or something.

Here is your third party slop support:

anon that’s too much monolith soft to expect

I'm mostly hoping for release dates for the remaining titles of the year (Kirbo, Metroid, HW), some surprise title for next year and maybe a little more footage of Duskblooods.
>>715449006
Based Ryu.

>>715446530
FPBP, Beyond is the only currently announced game I give a shit about. I’m so fucking sick of waiting for this fucking game.

>>715449006
I'm still feeling the fatigue after 4 and Ultimate's damn near non stop Japan Time. The next one's 100% gonna be a downgrade from Ultimate so there's nothing to get hyped about from that aspect either.

Ace Combat 8 reveal is coming, I can feel it.

>>715457490
63-years-old, by the way.

I hope the AAA development cycle dies this year and we actually get new games rather than infinite remakes and ports.

>>715466952
Gamecube NSO or bust in her coochie

>>715466952
I’m almost at the end of Wind Waker on NSO thinking it would be inferior to the Wii U version but it’s actually better. It looks better and I prefer the original Triforce hunt.

>>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?"

>>715469789
Based old good new bad chad.

>>715466952
I didn't see them as too likely anyway, I just saw them doing the Skyward Sword port as them moving on to rereleasing the next 3D Zelda after those two, and now that Wind Waker's on the Gamecube app, I have no doubt TP will follow suit eventually

can we get metroid 6 for 2027

>>715468718
>her

Anon…

>>715470718
Hot damn, that'd be nice

>>715470718
Best I can do is 2026.

>>715470845
Even better

>>715466952
If you look at sales, the pre-Wilds Zeldas were middling at best. The best game between the SNES and BotW was OoT and Nintendo consistently ignores it. Wilds has brought in a fuck ton of new players and this has given old players the hope for some of "their" games getting some love, but Nintendo's a ruthless enough business to know that's a bad idea. Putting effort into WW or whatever is just going to sully a good thing. I'd expect a LA/EoW remake of LttP before any of the GC/N64 Zelda's.

>>715470992
Seriously, it's been 4 years since Dread. Surely the spaniards have something by next year.

>>715471784
>It's a Super Metroid remake in Dread's engine

oh no....

Hoping it's Metroid 6

>>715471784
I'd love it to be, but I see 2027 as more likely

>>715472251
Didn't they want to remake Fusion like they did with 2?

IS, hold me like you used to so long ago

>>715472384
I can see that working then. Any Super Metroid remake would be instantly inferior.

>>715446253 (OP)
WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE PHYSICAL COLLECTIONS OF POKEMON GEN 3 AND 4 REEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>715461181
Source? Never thought about this but it would've made absolute perfect sense, and Wario needs a 3D game.

>>715461181
God shut the fuck up.

>>715472771
Autistic delusion. There's an interview where they talk about how development got stared. Koizumi asked for a 3D Donkey Kong game from the team and that was the start.

>>715458470
Considering they support Nintendo as hard as they do in their own IPs just to get funds to make better Xenoblade games, I'd say yes because they even have 2 HQs now and hired a lot of more people to train in new gamedev technologies to make better Xeno games and help with more games.

We are talking about a dev team that has been dreaming about the perfect Xeno narrative game for decades now and only Nintendo was kind enough to let them go for it.

>>715472384
I can already see the shitheads on /v/ arguing about how they ruined or turned it into a demake. Fusion is in heavy need of some rework.

>>715447093
I hope they never do that, just to spite you for no particular reason.

>>715473254
All they have to do is make it less handholdy.

Xenoblade2 upgrade pack or Xenoblade2 remake pls im begging you

>>715474178
Xenoblade X 2

>>715472570
I already have them all.
I want to play them on Switch. Why is this so hard for people to understand? I want ports. Maybe with some qol.

>>715474652
cringe

Given how involved MonolithSoft is in Nintendo's big productions now I'm genuinely surprised none of their games got the upgrade patches. Sure Zelda is the obvious one to get it but also Monolith are the code wizards of the company now so you'd figure they'd be tasked to make their big cinematic JRPGs look the absolute best to help showcase the issues.
I'd also like to see them just revisit the code for XB2 to deal with the memory leak once and for all.
I'm expected Xenoblade update patches shadow dropped, Xenosaga remasters by some random other group announced for Switch2, and maybe a teaser from MonolithSoft on the next big Xeno project.

>>715462208
>thinking Sonic or Twin Snakes is coming to GCN online
They should be in the never ever line

>>715474787
People under 30 have never played a good pokemon game.
Re-release the good ones.

>>715462208
I should point out Mario 64 both has the All Stars version AND a NSO version, so getting a remaster/remake doesn't immediately remove it.

>>715475126
You can just download these games and play them on emulator like ever person ever when playing FireRed and Emerald. Paying loads of money for physical copies of games you can easily emulator for GBA or DS is fucking cringe.

Hell i play DS pokemon games on my actual 3ds via Luma menu.

>>715446253 (OP)
what did he say? i'm not going to watch all that

>>715465634
>download key

Is it really,I hope square had the foresight to get the final fantasy VII remake physical on the cart

>>715475268
Okay so what, retard? Do you want an award? You think I don't have the games in my Steam Deck? In fact I bought some after I emulated them. Bought American Heart Gold today for 100 yurobucks. Bought Japanese Emerald and Diamond last week for 80.
I still want a fucking port collection for Switch.

>>715474832
>Xenosaga remasters
oh god pls no I don’t think modern gamers can handle this legacy and it should never be touched

>>715475692
You mad you cuck?

>>715475775
Yes, I'm mad Nintendo doesn't do ports and that you faggots defend them.

>>715475614
Lol, if the motherfuckers actually went and put DQI+II HD-2D on a fucking game key card there's 0% chance that Remake and Rebirth are physical releases.

>>715475692
I'm glad that I managed to snag my Heart Gold for $50 9 years ago.

genealogyfags are such fucking posers

>>715457885
>and more a consequence of going from 2015 tech to 2020 tech.
So, a normal and expected generational leap?

>>715476824
Nintendo is the only one doing tradition generational leaps because they kept their tech in check.

>>715476413
Wait that dragon warrior 3 HD release finally got out,why wasn't there more threads about the thing?

FE troons really want to play my wife's son emblem.

>>715476706
It's not even that expensive when you think that Mario Kart is now 90 euros. Heat Gold is infinitely more fun to play.

>>715459865
our awesome bandana waddle Dee will join smash roster soon mark my words

>>715480612
Even beyond that, any less floaty physics change would immediatly make the game feel weird.

Mercurysystem Metroid games tend to feel really heavy.

>>715480767
It's insane how their engine is now Nintendo's main one.
Mario Kart World was made with the Xenoblade engine iirc, and BOTW/TOTK was build off it too.

DIGIMON STORY TIME STRANGER FOR SWITCH 2 WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN THE DIRECT

>>715480767
And yet they have never outdone Gears

>>715460467
it will be great when national dex comes back eventually soon

>>715447990
Paper Mario has a 4 year release schedule and they spent 4 entire years making a remake just to get an answer to the rhetorical question of "Do people want a classic style paper mario game". No new Paper Mario until 2028 sadly. I don't even fucking care anymore honestly, whatever fans are left just have Stockholm Syndrome

>>715481032
>1000+ Entry National Dex

I don’t even think the Switch 2 could handle all that, unless Gen 10 ends up being a big reboot much like Gen 5 was

>>715462028
what's your top three favorite characters in each of those franchises 0_0

>>715481041
Also PM64 being on NSO, maybe they’ll dump the superior OG TTYD on Gamecube NSO

>>715481396
Warioware = Ashley
Street Fighter = Ingrid
Castlevania = Charlotte

>>715477507
Because
1. Is a fucking 30 years old game at $50
2. Wasn't Nintendo exclusive
3. Is Dragon Quest.

Came out November Anon, this November is 1 and 2 to complete the trilogy.

>>715477895
>Isn't that expensive
Anon, HGSS are 16 years old games, sure they worth every damn penny you pay for them but paying more than MSRP for a 16 years old game is outrageous.

>>715480930
I'm a huge Digitard but there's no way we see Time Stranger on Switch 2 this year, they are not going to go full frontal against a mainline Pokemon game.

>>715484171
It's not just a game, it's also a collectable item.
And again, if it came out today it'd be priced at 80 dollars and it'd be garbage like Brillant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

Would have been Kino if they actually completed the game. Well the Kirby game is getting DLC and 3 Hopes came out 7 months after Kirby did so I guess its still possible the game will get its DLC.

it will mostly focus on a new animal crossing game, they want to bait the normalfags into giving switch 2 massive momentum

>>715460467
just give me BW remake or announce the next gen

You still not gonna get your golden shower ending dumb 3HRTshitter.

Pikmin 4 Switch 2 Edition and Death Stranding port. Both rumored and both are all I’m asking for in the short-term.

>>715481648
Solid taste, anon. Ashley’s basically the Warioware mascot at this point and Ingrid is criminally underused in SF. Charlotte's got that perfect combo of dorky and badass in Portrait. You got a top-tier waifu radar or just vibing with the niche picks?

>>715446530
All I want. Maybe a Kirby Air Riders date, too, as a little treat.

>>715485683
I wish I saved that image of the basedjaks being disappointed by the Gen 1 remakes (Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee), and thinking the Gen 4 remakes would be at least like that, but it was worse.

>>715495101
I think they're gonna forget about Mario

>>715494793
Man, I hope so

>>715480921
I don't think that's quite correct, anon. They did help with topology in Botw and were much more involved in Totk that had to be rebuild but afaik that game uses Havok. Their in house engine is still used only for xenoblade games, they have been updating it since the first game. The performance of X DE (a game with lots of vertical maneuvering) is way too different than Totk. Also their games do not have heavy physics mechanics which is why they used Havok for the zelda ones. They still get involved with level design, a lot.

>>715481041
I like 64, TTYD and Origami King desu. I really think the cracks were showing in TOK. I really think Paper Mario 3 is next. Also, TTYD HD was finished way back into the previous year it was announced, so I think it will come a lot sooner, much of the devs and level design staff from TOK was missing in the TTYD HD credits.

>>715499542
Same. I enjoyed TOK for what it was, but man. I still don't get how they went full retard after TTYD, they had a perfect base to work with and just kept on fucking up. I should give SPM a second chance at least tho.

>>715499651
You would think it would've just been their own Mario Fire Emblem. I tell you what though, I really want IS to combine everything into one perfect paper mario game.
