Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@damien33ad I'd be ok with a 50% accuracy rating. Less than 50% just let's people get their hopes up and is frustrating. It's even more frustrating when in the prediction the person says keep your expectations in check. Well don't inflate them if you want them in check. Anyways 50% I'm ok with. You can't even graduate high school in Canada with that low an average. Shaq shot better from the ft line. 50/50 is a flip of a coin. I don't know why people here would be happy with leakers because they're getting 10% right. Work on your craft and do better or expect to get slammed online. Nate The Hate freaked out that people were mad after his predictions were wrong. Don't want people to freak out, don't keep getting people's hopes up with wrong info. I feel like I'm talking in a circle. Enjoy but I'll wait for Nintendo to release the info themselves.

I mean, I don't expect perfection, and I don't have anything wrong to admit.
I just hope everyone gets to enjoy games, cuz that's what it's all about anyway.

@damien33ad I predicted paper mario was coming out on the switch. I think everyone predicted it.
I predict the switch successor will have a mario kart, 3d Mario, a zelda, a kirby and other Nintendo first party games. I predict they will come after the launch of the system.

@LetsaGO
Well, considering the original SNES Star Fox has been remade 3 times already (Star Fox 64, Star Fox 64 3D and Star Fox Zero), I wouldn't put it above Nintendo to do it again. 🤣

@damien33ad if a leaker predicted coivd then I would definitely listen to them in the future.

@sixrings @damien33ad I think it has to do with separating the signal from the noise, to use a cliche. Roughly, if someone gets lots of "hard" predictions correct than he probably has access to an inside source. If someone claims to be an insider but gets things wrong (sometimes ridiculously wrong - Star Fox Grand Prix was obviously false even before ResetEra collectively decided it was) then they're likely full of it, or at least their sources aren't reliable. Getting "easy" predictions right doesn't get you any credibility, as well as things that could be attributed to chance (ie "Nintendo will release a 2D Zelda next year").

To draw an analogy, if someone in 2017 leaked that Mario would be in the next Super Smash Bros. game that would not be worth anything because Mario is obviously going to be in any new entry in the series. If that person predicted that all previous Super Smash Bros. characters would return (even Pichu) and that Piranha Plant would be a new character, that would be quite a different story. Something in between (the game being brand new rather than a port of 4) could be inside information, but also attributable to chance. I don't know of any leakers that have been consistently spot-on, so I take most of what they say with a grain of salt.

Wow, this thread...

I enjoy speculation. I like hearing what people think is coming. I enjoy hearing, even secondhand, what “leaks” are saying. I like talking about video games, really. I’ll believe predictions, debunk predictions, even make my own predictions.

Impassioned defences of other people’s predictions just seems like a losing game. I mean, who gives a ...?

Thank you to the posters for passing on leaks. I actually do appreciate them. But don’t feel like you have to stand by them - that’s not your job.

i found this very odd rumor of the same retailer that listed Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword for Switch.

this could be one of the reveal of the rumored general Nintendo Direct of next week.

@Rexenoboy 😂😂😂
Can’t really blame Nintendo.
People want Windwaker and twilight princess for there switch. It was playable on the GameCube, wii and wii u but still want it again for the switch.

I have nothing against porting, remastering or remaking of older games. I'm one of those guys who always wants to play all of his favorite games on the latest hardware. If the Switch's successor comes around, I'll be wishing for a XC2 port for instance.

Many people seem to believe that porting of older games has a negative effect on the development of new titles, which isn't the case at all. The core development teams are always working on new games, which can take anywhere from 3 to 6 years of development time. It's usually the side teams, the trainees, the interns, those that need more experience, and those that are currently not needed on the core team who're working on stuff like ports, remasters and even DLC in some cases.

@damien33ad for the large amount of time you spend on here talking about Zelda it’s surprising to learn you have not actually played Skyward Sword.

I think I know what Nintendo's secret weapon for the holiday is. It's the Switchplaybox. A switch combined with Xbox series x and ps5. You can play all your switch games on the go as well as Xbox series x and ps5 games. That's why they're being so quiet. How could we miss that?😉😉😉😉😉

I was thinking Nintendo were building a technology that can be applied during this pandemic for their next machine if Nintendo really have their plan for Switch 2.

@Anti-Matter that’s the norm, Nintendo are constantly working on their next console. If anything it’s development may have been slowed due to Coivd.

I wonder what Nintendo will do for Nintendo switch online this year? Last year it was snes games.

@DannyBoi i'd like gba games but it will most likely be n64 or gb games (if there will be something new)

@DannyBoi if your gonna make a silly comment, why don’t you go full out and say it’s gonna play vhs and dvd movies too 😉

@mariomaster96 I’ll say they will add more nes and snes games.
