Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@IceClimbers It's more that I can't see there being nothing between Paper Mario and Pikmin 3 (3 and a half months) but I also think the announcement of Pikmin 3 means no currently unannounced Nintendo games are releasing before November (otherwise the unannounced game would've been announced instead of Pikmin 3). Bravely Default II in September is the case which makes the most sense if there is a Nintendo published title between Paper Mario and Pikmin 3. If Bravely Default II is delayed to 2021, I think the gap is more likely than an unannounced title appearing.

That seems like an outdated view on Nintendo who are progressively looking for more collaborations. In the last few years they are allowing more freedom with their stuff with the horrible Minion studio making a Mario movie, an indie developer access to Zelda, theme parks, Lego Mario, Nintendo skins in Minecraft/Skyrim etc.

Creating new characters is one thing but this is having an employee of a theme park dressed as a character meeting and greeting, not some type of sexy steam punk Zelda cosplayer.

Id be incredibly surprised if they don’t have character meet and greets at the real Super Nintendo World.

Does anyone else feel like it would make a lot more sense if Nintendo did something like a Galaxy 1+2 remastered collection, a 64+Sunshine collection, then a 3D World Deluxe each at $60?

I know no reputable sources have said anything like this is going to happen, but it just doesn't seem like Nintendo would remaster three (or four if Galaxy 2 is in there, hopefully) and then sell all three of them for $60 in total

@GraveDusk143 First of all, the Mario remaster rumor is bupkis. Not gonna happen.

But even if it was real, pretty sure the original rumors just said 'the remasters are happening' and said nothing about release format.

If the Mario remasters rumors turn out to be false, whoever created the rumor should be discredited and banned from posting “news”.

Only if y'all are willing to give a public apology if they're right. :V

i mean pikmin 3 and paper mario were right, so why not mario 35th, 3d world, and (maybe) 2d metroid? at least 2 of those i’d say comes to fruition. leakers are 2/2 so far

A public apology for what? For the heroic deed of leaking? Lol.

Im still not believing the remasters I need to see it first!

@Spanjard I guess for being so adamant that these rumours were false

I'd be the first to admit I was wrong if the rumors ever do come true, I've been preaching their falsehood for a year now to try and avoid the utter backlash to come when people realize the truth.

Not that that's worked in the slightest.

But in any case, that's only hypothetical, the rumors are 100% fake.

I said this on the mario 3d remasters thread and i'll say it here, I think the next 1st party announcement will be mario related on the 13th September (Mario anniversary) - I don't think we'll hear anything about 1st party games before then. Hopefully we get a partner show case before the end of the month.

@MarioBrickLayer
If so then it will have to be a November or December release. I honestly cannot imagine Nintendo put 64, Sunshine and Galaxy in one package. Also I don’t know if Sunshine would work with the analog trigger issue.

I thought this thread had gone silent after our direct hopes and dreams were shattered by the Pikmin shadow drop, but it turns out I just wasn’t getting the notifications for some reason 😆

There won’t be any announcements on September 13, that’s a Sunday.

I think you're right about the controls on Sunshine, but Nintendo would never release something which is unplayable?

Who knows about how they are releasing them! I'm kind of expecting 3 releases; 3d collection, 3D world and a new super mario bros collection, but you're right they could be individually released, in one way that might be better as they would have to justify it by putting more effort in!

@Slowdive nate the hate has been wrong about so much. The direct was a mini. Trust 343 and look what happened there. He ranted a couple weeks ago on spwanwave about how entitled people are and that their lives are meaningless. Well nate perhaps you shouldnt get people's hopes up with wrong predictions if you don't want to hear a bunch of upset people. I actually listened to this today and even his guests were politely skeptical about his reasoning.

Looks like we'll be getting a Direct tomorrow at 10AM EST, folks

@HobbitGamer Wait, what
