>still no switch 2 direct

>>715930275 (OP)
Give them a break, anon, they only had 8 years.

>>715931853
they have all the spotlight now, but it needs to happen quickly

>>715930275 (OP)
And what games could they show?

>>715932392
My big issue is that everything else everything first party that's out/announced, except DK Bananza, is a spinoff and even then Bananza is very different from the usual DK fare.
>Mario Kart World (and it's kind of "extra" spinoffy since Nintendo REALLY wants you to play nonlapped courses)
>Splatoon Raiders
>Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
>Kirby's Air Riders
They really should've revealed/teased another mainline game in a tentpole franchise before launch. Unless you're the type to throw a desk-smashing temper tantrum over the very mention of the "E" word for Switch 1 games and/or purely interested in sales figures and console wars, being so spinoff-heavy without mainline games in sight is an underwhelming (and potentially concerning) first foot forward for the Switch 2's first party offerings IMO. To contrast, the Switch 2 had the following mainline games announced before release:
>Splatoon 2
>Super Mario Odyssey
>Xenoblade Chronicles 2
>BotW (okay, it was crossgen, but the WiiU was dead in most people's houses for a solid year beforehand, whereas the Switch 1 is not)
And there were spinoffs announced, but they were ALONGSIDE these games, not instead of. This is also a big reason why WiiU ports generally landed more gracefully on Switch 1 - the WiiU's library skewed towards spinoffs and experiments, but on Switch they now coexisted alongside a lot more released/revealed mainline games. and to make things sadder I'm very goddamn confident that every single first-party game we currently have out/seen started out as Switch 1 games, we at least explicitly know this is the case with MK World

This is also a big reason why WiiU ports generally landed more gracefully on Switch 1 even before it went sicko mode on sales numbers - the WiiU's library skewed towards spinoffs and experiments, but on Switch they now coexisted IN ADDITION TO a lot more released/revealed mainline games. and to make things sadder I'm very goddamn confident that every single first-party game we currently have out/seen started out as Switch 1 games, we at least explicitly know this is the case with MK World

Hopefully a sustainble title to fill the rpg hole (maybe fire emblem) or a glimpse of that arcsys VN.

>>715933429
Wait, I forgot Drag x Drive. Fuck, that game really lost what little relevance it had quickly, huh.
>>715932957
>platformer Mario if it's 2D then pleeeease for the love of god not another fucking NSMB/glorified NSMB game, give it an actual budget and don't lean so hard on SMB1/3 references
>Zelda (not likely with AoI probably meant to give the IP coverage for the next while)
>Splatoon (same comment as above but with Raiders)
>Kirby (same comment as above but with Air Riders)
>Fire Emblem
>Smash (probably gonna be a while, if it even gets a new game instead of just an S2 Edition update for SSBU)
>Animal Crossing (Nintendo's probably gonna save this for halftime again after they saw how it sold like heroin-laced crack in 2020)
>Ring Fit Adventure, to conveniently also hawk a Ring Con 2
>obligatory new IP (but I suspect they already burned that one with Joe Swanson's Basketball)
And for some dormant IPs (hey, they kinda brought back F-Zero, don't write these off!):
>Wario platformer/adventure
>Star Fox
>Kid Icarus (probably not happening without Sakurai)
>some literally-who Famicom-only IP that Nintendo will revive on the cheap and western hipsters will pretend they've been waiting for all along
>some DS/Wii era experimental IP that flopped but gets revived when a third party volunteers to do the brunt of the work and financing
>my personal dark horse bet for the Switch 2: Chibi-Robo

>>715934836
And Xenoblade I guess.

>>715930275 (OP)
Would /v/ even play a Frieren game?

>>715935112
>visual novel
no
>mediocre JRPG
maybe
>decently polished JRPG/hybrid RPG
probably it'd be an automatic "yes" in my book if it was a total send up to 2000s JRPGs the same way Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth was to the 90s/early 2000s Castlevania metroidvanias)
>arena fighter (unlikely but you never know)
fucking die

>>715930275 (OP)
Probably happening in September.

>>715935112
absolutely
