Nintendo Airing Special Mobile Direct Broadcast For New Game Dragalia Lost

Seems more ambitious than I thought

European release date? And can I even hope for a regular Direct this month or early next month?

Oh great, Europe shafted as usual. Thanks Nintendo.

That's a Mobile game.
Pass !

Interested to see where this bold new direction takes them, especially considering their previous mobile flops. Where is Mario Kart Tour already?

Well, that both looks and sounds brutally uninteresting.

@Tsurii
Patience young padawan.
Seriously speaking this all seems to be leading to a full on direct. First Smash, then indies, more indies, mobile game and we still need information on the online service which means another direct is due in two weeks max. So many directs will surely end with a real one right?

mobile game by nintendo (no thanks)

I'd be excited but Nintendo Mobile is a sad joke thanks to their availability/region-locking problems. Good games, pathetic availability.

Inb4 "Just get the game illegally" damage control comments

Guys, the Direct is actually today - 29th August, not 29th September! That confused me for a sec!

They seem to be banking a lot on something that looks utterly generic...

Nintendo seem to be having difficulty keeping two balls in the air let alone three.

I hope Nintendo won't go Konami way. If that will be we will see mobile gaming quality in future guys. Don't support games like this on switch. Use it on your phones if you most. The more you download the more they think it's a win

@Alber-san no cause all those small ones are stealing the thunder from a real one.

So Nintendo's pretty much going to announce every type of Direct except a general Direct then.

I guess:
September - 3DS Direct
October - Smash Direct
November - Mario Kart Tour Direct
December - Another Smash Direct to cover post-launch content

Oh nice! Why not also for switch eshop? This actually looks great.

Not bashing the game, but is it really big enough for its own direct? I guess the FEH game is fairly successful, but this just seems out of place to me.

It's too bad the game doesn't look like the artworks. It would have really been beautiful instead of FF9 HD looking.
Also I didn't know Nintendo acquired a mobile dev. They might want to part ways with DeNa

Oh, good. I wanted to hear more about this!

This looks great! Action JRPG on the go? count me in. My iPhone is just 32 gb hope it doesn't require more than 1 gb space. Actually touch controls are great for turn based RPG's not so much for ARPG though.

What about Europe though?

At this rate the next direct will be a 3rd indie direct and then the one after will just say about online lol

This looks great. I don't play mobile games, so it's a pass from me, but from where I sit, saying 'it looks like a mobile game' isn't that much of an insult these days!

(I think some people have a Direct problem and should seek help lol)

@GrailUK Directs are addictive, what can I say?

Cubby fingers, can't play.

Chibi and mobile... not likely to be played by me, but I hope it's successful all the same.

@Blizzia We always get shafted. I dunno why, it's just how it is. Shame really...

@ThatNyteDaez Yep. Most of the world seems to think Europe for some reason does not like games or want games... Or want to buy games for that matter.

I know we're a smaller share than America but still... Can't possibly be THAT small. It's not like we magically have a lower percentage of gamers. Regions aren't really that different, most people like the same stuff in 2018. We also all want physical games. Most of us, anyway.

For Dragalia, specifically, I don't see why they'd release it in NA and not EU. They legit need one language ready, English. It's ready since they're releasing in NA.

Heck, they even announced their servers are shared between regions... So you get on the same server regardless of region.

Well that trailer was kinda useless. Though it looks like they are going for a "Mana" look and that's ok, but how is it played? Slash with your finger like Fruit Ninja or rapidly tap the screen or bluetooth controller? These mobile games need controls shown.

Is the game rated M? Not sure why they'd put the Direct on so late in the US, 8:30PM to 11:30PM.

not interested if its free to play. Let me outright buy your games, Nintendo

It kind of reminds me of the game Zenonia.

@Mando44646
The game will flop hard if it isn't free-to-play.

Can someone please drag this mobile gaming ideas behind the barn and shoot them twice ?

That is way far from what Nintendo is normally doing, weird

It's a shame there's no Europe date yet (and the Direct is waaayyyyy too late to stay up for), I wouldn't mind giving this a try...
As for the timing, it's probably just because timezones (half eleven in Japan, who are also having the Direct)

I love how just yesterday I saw people complaining about how Directs have slowed down in the post-Iwata era. Between the two indie, the Smash one, this, and the likely general/online one coming up we're getting flooded.

I'm excited! This game looks promasing! I hope the direct throws in a couple other mobile games as well.

Interesting and looks more promising than Pocket Camp (I'm so over that game). Would be nice to get English though and since this is a Nintendo of America tweet, maybe it'll get full English voice acting (with the option for Japanese). At the very least, English subtitles please!

DRAGONS
Eh looks alright

I will just stick with FEH most likely. It is the only Nintendo mobile to keep my interest so far. Pocket Camp was a huge letdown, but I expected as much.

Hmm...I might tune in for this one since it's guaranteed to be short, plus I won't be at work for a change.

Show us Canadians some love, please Nintendo!

Whata bout Mario kart tour though?

Guys, I just noticed that not only is this game co-developed by Cygames, but that Nintendo bought the studio, as well.

Cygames is responsible for the Uma Musume mobile game and they produced the anime of the same name.

That means one of two things: either Westerners will get the horsegirl racing and idol management app, or...

Special Weekend for Smash confirmed!
