Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@Ktld878 3D All Stars is coming out this month, and the physical copy will be limited.

@Blooper987 That's a February 2021 game.

@Octane but NL said December 2nd?

@Octane @Grumblevolcano never mind just saw the date. They got mixed up due to the way the date looks😂.

@Blooper987 Yeah, don't blame them. The release was 02-12-2021. Any logical person would say that's 2 December, but apparently in some strange places of the world that means 12 February.

So already for 2021 we are getting more Wii U ports? Not to mention the collection is a just resolution bump, but no real changes otherwise. I don't think anything has changed about my stance since before the "direct".

The 3D collection was never going to be any less than full price, but it's a bit of a bummer that Galaxy 2 isn't included for that price. At least the physical copies will double their value every year if they're going to be limited.

3D World is bit disappointing. Because again, new content = cool, but it's locked behind another game. I already own 3D World, so I don't want to buy that game again. I wish they made Bowser's Fury available separately as well.

@sixrings Personally, my backlog is the result of me working ~100 hours a week and having a life outside of video games but yknow, whatever.

Anyways, terrible direct, super disappointed. But w/e, guess other people are happy.

And I was wrong about Super Mario remasters happening (even if no Galaxy 2 and only available in a limited run so I'll probably never get my hands on one anyways), I will admit that as promised.

Wow, yeah, so I just feel awful about the Switch after this. Haven't been this disappointed in the system... in it's lifespan. Not going to be anything to play until at least June next year most likely, jeez (well, except maybe SMT III might drop before then). I'm even getting out of having a backlog finally.

What a day to be a leaker

Hot diggety, this direct only rides for people who haven't played the mainline mario games already. I really truly expected SM64 to have been remastered to live up to sunshine and galaxy in terms of models and graphics, but aside from Bowser's Fury, there is really nothing New to look forward to until Spring 2021, huh

YES! BEST DIRECT EVER!!! Only 2 weeks... this is incredible! I had almost lost hope.

I do have a question. 3D All-Stars will still be playable after March, right? You just can’t buy it.

Well, was hoping for more changes when it comes to the 3D collection. A graphical or musical overhaul of the first two games would have made the experience fresh enough for me to consider buying it. All other products shown are not for me at all either. When it comes to Nintendo's offering this year, I am really disapointed.

Yeah, I wonder why there’s still no holiday game? You think they’d choose some game to release in December. On the bright side, we’ll likely still be playing 3D All-Stars come Christmas.

I will at least. I’m not a fast gamer.

Nintendo soured such an amazing announcement today. Freaking hilarious

I was already a bit bummed that Galaxy 2 would be omitted from the 3D All Stars collection on Switch but it's also a limited release both physically AND digitally? This is probably being done just so they could resell the individual releases from the collection at ludicrous prices later.

That's just...really dumb

@BabyYoshi12 Crown Tundra DLC seems to be the only thing coming in November.

@TheFrenchiestFry Manufactured demand. It makes EA and Activision look consumer-friendly in comparison.

@TheFrenchiestFry Doubt it. They probably plan on locking the games away as totally unavailable until the 40th or 50th anniversary. They won't be available except from scalpers after March.

Also, just occurred to me, this means that we're not getting a new console on NSO this year...

It seems that (besides Mario Kart Home Tour) Nintendo has no new games coming out through March, with their big Mario celebration title being a ports with no signifcant extras (a la the Mega Man Legacy Collections), no more than touch-ups rather than meaningful improvements, a puzzling lack of SMG2, and an anti-consumer limited edition run.

I want to be excited about this news, I really do. But I don't have unlimited money or time to throw at whatever Nintendo releases, whether it's yet another $60 port of a seven year old, $20 game (though Bowser's Fury might be worth it) or a barebones collection like this. Maybe my standards are too high for one of the most successful and profitable video game companies in the world.

@link3710 Selling them individually for $30 a game seems like a Nintendo move to me.

@ianl579 Nah, they're not too high. This is quite a bare bones year for Nintendo. And all the re-releases don't make it look any better.
