Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

If anything is happening tomorrow we should hear something in the next 2 or 3 hours. I’m skeptical it’s gonna be anything more than an Indie Direct and judging by how those have been lately, I’m not expecting anything great from them.

It would be hilarious if Nintendo announced silk song and deltarune 3/4 in a random indie world one week before switch two

@FawfulsFury Have a horrible feeling it’s gonna be one of those feature creep situations where they just keep adding more and more ideas to the game and become overwhelmed and unable to create a decent game within a budget. Kinda like how Sports Story ended up.

@FragRed honestly this is how I’ve been feeling for the past couple years. I’m sure the game will be good, but development times this long can be both a blessing and a curse, since it’s easy to lose sight of that original vision. At least for Deltarune, Toby and his team can focus on individual chapters at a time while still considering the rest of the game

Pyoro's chimed in and said it's not an indie or a partner showcase apparently

They announced it, a general Direct happening tomorrow!

Well I’ll be… interesting that this time there will be no “updates” on switch 2 as opposed to no mention

Choooooo choooooo

As nice as this is it would have been more exciting a month ago

@Grumblevolcano I’ll say it now, I was wrong about not expecting anything before the Switch 2 Direct outside of maybe a indie one, yet you were right about there being more to the Switch this year than I expected. Especially as this is a General Direct which means first party published games. So I’ll apologise for arguing against you on this.

Where did the Robobot remake/port rumour come from? I've seen it mentioned a few times on here recently, but I don't remember anyone being credited with 'leaking' it or at least starting the rumour.

First time I remember seeing something about Robobot was it someone mentioned as a game they'd like to see ported or remade, then that gradually became 'the rumoured Robobot port'. Did any of the usual suspects claim this was coming?

I personally still skeptical with Nintendo Direct tomorrow as I keep finding the 3rd party multi console games oftenly got the worst version compared with other console version so any 3rd party games announced from the Direct will be my reference to find the PS5 version from the same games as possible.
I don't want to buy half baked products from Switch version again when the games got treated with downgraded and poor fps (unstable 30 fps) or even worse (partial download, code in box, streaming only) while the other console version like PS5 get the better version (faster loading time, better graphics, better fps to smooth stable 60 fps).
I will be very picky in getting Switch games as I also build my PS4 & PS5 games too with 99% of 3rd party kids games.

Yeah, The timing is weird. Almost like they are sending the games out to die as they'll mostly be forgotten about in a weeks time when the Switch 2 Direct drops.

End the financial year with Switch's last hurrah, begin the new financial year with Switch 2.

Very interesting it's a general Direct. That means they aren't stopping support for Switch even with Switch 2 on the horizon. At the same time, I would be very surprised if there's a brand new game announced here that isn't port/remaster/remake/small-scale. Still, exciting times ahead with the Switch Direct tomorrow and Switch 2 Direct next week.

Let's get those predictions going then! I think we'll see:

• Kirby Planet Robobot Deluxe
• Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War remake
• Metroid Prime 4
• Metroid Prime 2+3 HD
• Dragon Quest 1+2 HD2D
• Professor Layton and the New World of Steam
• DecaPolice

The rest is random 3rd party ports. I do NOT think we'll see:

• Silksong (if it shows up this year it'll be at the Xbox Showcase in June)
• Zelda WW/TP HD

The biggest news from this direct is that pyoro is back apparently.

@Bigmanfan Does it? What’s he been saying?
