Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

8/10. There was nothing that was making me jump out of my seat, but I wasn't expecting anything like that. However, they showed off games that I had never seen before, and I thought they looked amazing.
I want to try Neverway, Is this seat taken, and of course, Mina the Hollower.

8/10 for this Indie World, starting with Mina the Hollower and ending with UFO 50 were nice to see. Glaciered and Is This Seat Taken? also looked interesting.

The Indie Direct had a decent amount of interesting games on offer. Nothing for me because of my tight gaming schedule, but my sisters might be interested in Is This Seat Taken. I give it an 8/10.

I haven't settle on a score for today's Indie World yet...at least an 8 but may end up being higher for me. I thought that it was great, and will probably be buying a few of the games. Very excited to try UFO 50, I've wanted the game since I first heard about it - and have downloaded it! 24.99 seems like a very fair price, happy to support the game.

I just played the demo of Mina the Hollower on switch 2, and I cannot wait to play the whole thing! Then I went and played the demo of Is This Seat Taken? on steam, and I am definitely picking it up on switch 2 sometime soon.

I bought UFO 50. Haven't really heard much about it until the last couple days. It'd be interesting to know what are the top games from the collection worth playing first.

@NintendoByNature you can look up game tier rankings for the collection...I'm just going to try games and stick with what I'm having fun with

@FiShYs in NSMBU when anyone other than Toadette grabs the Super Crown, it acts like an Acorn. Also, I have always loved NSMW, but I am not sure I'd want an HD version... Something about the softer edges of the OG is nicer looking to me

@Lazz good shout. Im looking for more metroidvania, rpg, and "zelda-likes" if im being honest. Ill give that a look though.

Looks like the Mario 40th anniversary celebration is starting soon. This is so freaking random lol

@ShieldHero The app is coming out late August so I assume the main things will be announced September as expected.

Does anyone think we might get a full Direct next Thurs? This is based on literally nothing other than the last two Thursdays have been a Partner Showcase and Indie Showcase haha

On second thought, I think the reason holiday season release dates are up in the air might be because Black Ops 7 doesn't have a release date. CoD is one of those franchises like GTA you don't want to release around the same time so Black Ops 7 gets a release date (probably at Gamescom Opening Night Live) and then there's a flood of release date announcements following that.

@AStupidID while this would be incredibly funny, we’re definitely going to be waiting till September

Come on, Nintendo — I think the Indie World was announced a week ago, so today’s our last chance to turn those rumors (or dreams) of a Direct trifecta into reality!

@Chapapa i dont think the chances are very high because of the huge push in drag x drive advertising but im hoping and dreaming with you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 even some update on something would be nice on nintendo today

10 am ET has passed, no chance of a direct for wednesday.

Anyone think we might get a release date for Pokémon Champions at Worlds?

@IceClimbers, if it's releasing early next year, I think that's a possibility.

@OctolingKing13 Wait, were we expecting an announcement today?
