Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@Anti-Matter I swear you say this every time Microsoft is even mentioned. We get it, you don’t like Microsoft.

I've heard about this myself. COULD YOU IMAGINE.

@Fizza Yeah, vaguely

@GrailUK I'll tell you something: after playing the original on NSO, I've been converted to BK. Great vibrant worlds, fantastic wittiness, iconic music supplemented with some pretty fun platforming that constantly gets expanded throughout the game. I'd be more than down for a new BK game (that isn't you know what).

@GrailUK Xbox might anounce a revival of Banjo Kazooie tommorow

@Giancarlothomaz Who out of everyone M$ has bought would be a good fit for Banjo. (Rare said someone who knew what they were doing would have to do it lol.)

@GrailUK Double Fine(the developers behind Psychonausts 2)

@Giancarlothomaz ooohhh. That would be interesting indeed!

Honestly, I still baffled with Banjo XBOX 360 gameplay like what the heck is the objection from that game.
Even I still baffled by other 1st party XBOX games such as Blinx games and Viva Pinata games. Microsoft just made it very convoluted to understand the gameplay.

We haven't heard anything about Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light and The Temple of Osirisnin a while, I hope they are in the direct.

@Fizza If it happens I could see it being a Rare Replay PC port with the 360 games in the collection (the Banjo remasters, Perfect Dark remaster, Perfect Dark Zero, Banjo Nuts & Bolts, Kameo, Jetpac Refuelled, the Viva Pinata games) rather than separate download like they are on Xbox. The list of XB1 1st party games not on PC are:

• Rare Replay
• Halo 5
• A few delisted Forza games (Forza Motorsport 5, Forza Horizon 2)
• A bunch of Kinect games

The delisted Forza games will never come due to licensing (the reason they're delisted on Xbox) and the Kinect games will never come because of Kinect functionality but Rare Replay and Halo 5 seems possible.

@Fizza BK was brilliant on the N64. I liked the sequel too despite it not being quite as good. Banjo-Kazooie coming back would be great (on paper of course.)

@Giancarlothomaz Double Fine eh? Intriguing stuff. I'd definitely be interested as to whether they could capture the cartoon-esque cheerfulness of BK since their own main platforming series is very much a dark twist on the genre. They're games are wonderful though so we'd have to wait and see.

I must say, people seem to be much calmer than I would have expected about the possible (apparent?) lack of a June/E3 Direct. Granted, NCL has announced a fair docket of games for this year as is, and are even holding a fairly significant one in reserve (Advance Wars), but the "all-industry June event" Direct tends to be a little showier than all the others, and we've all been primed for it over the years. I myself am a little disappointed...

@CANOEberry are you sure? i watched a lot of videos, showing prediction and when the next Nintendo Direct could be(they think Nintendo will show Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2, maybe a teaser for Metroid Prime 4, Twilight Princess HD/Wind Waker HD anounced for Switch, and the next Nintendo Direct coming next week).

So Silksong just got shown off in the Xbox presentation. Some excellent gameplay footage, stating that it will be playable on day 1 on Gamepass. Still no release date, though. So it now looks VERY likely that this game will show up in the next Direct, I would say 100%

@StarPoint
On Twitter Microsoft confirmed that Silksong will be released within the next 12 month.

@StarPoint I would argue the very fact it’s been shown in the Xbox conference means it won’t be shown in anything by Nintendo.

Looks like there’s no Goldeneye (or Banjo, but that’s much more of a rumor) at the Xbox show. Could a reveal by Nintendo be imminent?

@Noble_Haltmann soon...
