Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@OctolingKing13 Maybe he’s just so uninspired by what Nintendo shows at these indie showcases he just gave up.

Grumblevolcano was predicting a April Indie World weeks ago, though not quite this date. Very good track record for predicting things though.

Pyoro didn't say much about the indie direct last year... I recall us wondering if they basically only knew about first party stuff or close partners.

GASP Poyoro failed us?!

Pyoro has just responded to someone on Twitter that they never know about indie games so whatever is announced will be news to him/her also.

Man, I was hoping she (or he, IDK) could tell us if Silksong would be there...

Aw, yeah! An Indie World is at least something. There's always some good stuff no matter what the event is. And of course, the comments of that tweet are already full of Silksong hope.

Me? Little Kitty, Big City release date I'm hoping is here, considering the game was at the previous April Indie World. And I'm sure there'll be a surprise or two that I can add to the waiting for list.

@Novamii I feel that. Got no hype for Silksong myself, but there's enough on the internet that I feel it just showing up would make this Indie World better than a Direct for most.

Indie Direct tomorrow? The freshest game ideas come from indie games these days. That said, I expect a healthy dose of cozy games. Be they sim-life, sim-farm, or sim-management. Personally, I'd like to see a Turbo Overkill release window announcement.

Gimme blood, gimme gore. Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme that which I desire. Ooh!

I know I'm in a very tiny minority on this, but I would LOVE a release date of Quilts and Cats of Calico. That game is supposed to be out by now.

Who wants to bet Team Cherry is going to announce that they temporarily suspended development of Silksong in 2020, and they have just now resumed, so we can expect news on release date in a few years. In the meantime, they worked on a whole slew of cosmetics and microtransactions for Hollow Knight, all of which contribute to getting a completionist run. Silksong will also be live-service FPS.

Pyoro keeps their 100% correct status by only leaking things they actually know instead of making up stuff when they don't know like most supposed leakers.

@FishyS And he said today in response to someone tweeting him/her that they don’t get scoops on indie directs which I find interesting.

@FishyS He didn't fail himself.

@chiiizu I’m betting Team Cherry will announce they weren’t satisfied with how development was going, so they restarted completely with help from Retro Studios.

The only thing we really know about Pyoro is that they probably live in Japan (at least according to a Twitter spillage) and that they only leak things which are about to be announced on social media. Best guess is they are involved with Nintendo marketing or social media teams or perhaps video editing or even translation. That might be wrong, but even if it is right they may just not happen to be the person or on the exact team which deals with indie directs.

@Tayrailbridge
Yup, due tomorrow 17 April 2024 7am Pacific Time.

check out the first Indie World Showcase of 2024

Not a bad direct for me - few added to the wish list. Yars Rising looked good and Lorelei and the Laser Eyes was pretty interesting too, although I'll probably wait for more info or a review for that. The Ninja Turtles game looked like Hades: TMNT edition so I'll pick that up as well 😂 I think we saw Schim in a previous Direct and I do like a puzzle game, so might even pick up Stitch as well. Another Crab's Treasure was already on my Xbox wish list.

I thought it was completely underwhelming even for Indie World standards. Strike two for Nintendo's presentations so far this year.

Half of these we already knew about, but Little Kitty, Yars, Atonblast, Europa, the New TMNT roguelike, bzzzt, animal well, and Crab treasure all look interesting. Yars was probably the most interesting new announcement to me; I almost always like WayForward games.
