Topic: E3 2021 Discussion Thread

@kkslider5552000 Honestly I'd say Nintendo E3 2016 and E3 2018 were worse, at least E3 2015 had variety. How Microsoft handled Halo Infinite this E3 is how Nintendo should've handled BotW at E3 2016 and Smash at E3 2018.

@Slowdive I would expect an “as is” release onto the Eshop, the graphics are a bit rough for a full retail release.

How is anyone meant to focus at work today?

The Bandai Namco show seems to be only about House of Ashes, the E3 schedule says "Bandai Namco Presents: House of Ashes" which is pretty much what WB Games had for Back 4 Blood.

@GrailUK Zero chance! Also working from home helps with that

Technically I should be in bed. Nintensomnia indeed @GrailUK.

People are doing reverse looks ups (so rather than trying to break the code, they are coding their guesses) and two have been cracked but one sounds iffy/big.

@Slowdive The two that were cracked aren't the first one. If anyone wants to play cracker he's a link the security coding used;

@Slowdive @jump Guys, it’s all obviously Pikmin 4, 5 & 6.

@FragRed I typed in Pikmin 4 into the security coder and it came back with don'tbesostupidPikmin4isntreal. ;p

@jump That must be why I got a video of Miyamoto laughing at me.

@Slowdive So far in the coder I've tried "BOOBS", "SEXY", "SEXY GOOD TIME", "DOSHIN THE GIANT 2", "SEXY DOSHIN THE GIANT", "SEXY DOSHIN BOOBS" but my guesses are coming up with nothing so it's a real mystery what Nintendo have.

Damn, E3 Direct is less than 7 hours away and the 12.0.3 bug hasn't been resolved. Directs are well known for shadow drops.

@Grumblevolcano You saying 40 minutes entirely around 12.0.4? Nice.

Rumors are really starting to fly: new Metroid, new Donkey Kong, Master Chief in Smash. Hmmm...

@shock_trooper I don’t believe any of it until Nintendo officially reveals it. There are always so many rumours with Nintendo Directs, most end up fake. Going into this expecting the worst hoping for the best.

@FragRed So what's the worse you're expecting then? Nintendo sold to Microsoft, please understand BOTW 2 delayed, Miyamoto has caught covid and is on a ventilator so out of respect the Direct is cancelled, Doshin The Giant 2 isn't gonna happen etc

@jump 40 minutes of Miyamoto streaming Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties on the Switch.

@FragRed That still isn't as good as shouting CHAOS over and over again, Square wins E3!

@jump Dunno, if Miyamoto gets horny from playing he starts shouting his favourite naughty words, it may just edge out Square Enix
