Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@Stamina_Wheel worth the hype the septembre Direct?so he implying Nintendo is still holding bombshell anouncement for Nintendo Switch?

The final Theatrhythm Final Bar Line DLC has been announced, 11 songs from FFXVI.

@Grumblevolcano The only tragic thing is that there's no XVI reps for characters, but at least the songs are being included anyways. The selection for a few of these aren't my personal favorite, but I'm happy with "My Star", "Away", and "Titan Lost", along with "Ascension".

i feeling the septembre Direct will be 90% focused on remakes/remaster, the remaining 5% will be new anouncement

Imagine if they show Prime 4 in the middle of the Direct or something then people would go nuts trying to figure out what the last thing would be (probably not happening, unless?)

@VoidofLight Has it been confirmed there's definitely no characters being added? I was thinking perhaps the FFXVI stuff would get added to Series Quests and there being unlocks like with the base game (you get a key, unlock the title and then get characters, complete all the songs to unlock something and then beat all the quests to get something else).

@GrailUK Maybe if Smash returns it ends up being reason there's Noah and Mio amiibo? Xenoblade has never gotten amiibo outside the Smash line before.

@Grumblevolcano I took it as they're just adding the songs like they've done with the other DLC song packs, and not a whole new campaign or characters. If they were adding that, I feel like they would've said something on it upon announcement.

Smash DLC would all but deconfirm a new console over the course of the DLC season.

@Grumblevolcano My thinking is the Noah and Mio amiibo are just because you can't obtain a specific costume in game, and they probably wanted to lock it behind a physical collectable for a series that technically doesn't have any. Doubt Smash is getting another DLC pack.

@VoidofLight Hoping we get news on the Noah & Mio amiibo soon. I have a feeling they were announced way too early but they’re overdue at this rate, heck even Zelda and Ganon + Deep Cut got actual figures before them and they were announced way after. Don’t think it has anything to do with Smash as it’s probably just for the N&M outfits in 3

@luckyseven Yeah, I was thinking it was just for N and M outfit unlocks, since people clamored for them to be included in the game at some point.

I feel like that's kinda what happened with the last direct with 3 Mario franchise games right in the middle.

I just don't see Prime 4 coming out in the near future, but eh. Anything can happen I suppose.

I’m still hoping for a new Rhythm Heaven but I doubt it’s going to happen 😭

@luckyseven The timing of the amiibo announcements was probably about doing it while the games are still fresh. XC3 was getting its final DLC and TotK is a long game. Also in the case of TotK, they probably wanted a reason to bring up the game again in the June Direct and DLC either isn't happening or is far away.

@FishyS @VoidofLight, Metroid Prime 4 is gonna be a cross-gen game, but used to showcase the techinal/graphical perfomance of Nintendo next console, only expect the game anouncement on Switch sucessor reveal

@Giancarlothomaz I'll believe it when I see it. No way is a niche series like Metroid going to be their showcase game.

@Grumblevolcano Makes sense, also hoping it means there’s going to be more Xenoblade amiibos coming in the future like with other series who have their own lines. During the Direct I got fooled into thinking it was a DLC announcement and now that I look back on it they probably would’ve chosen a more dramatic opening for potential Tears DLC. I’m starting to think DLC is getting less likely but I hope I’m wrong

Nate knows

You say that as if Metroid as a series hasn't seen a gigantic resurgence within the gaming landscape since 2017. We've had:

• a remake of Metroid 2
• Ridley and Dark Samus in Smash
• a brand new 2D entry that was also a revival of a long-assumed cancelled game (that also became the highest selling entry in the franchise until MPR came out)
• almost every single classic entry being available to play on a single system through NSO
• a shadow-dropped remaster of the original Metroid Prime that topped eShop charts for weeks after it's release

With the amount of momentum Metroid has currently (potentially even more if the rumours of Prime 2 & 3 getting the remaster treatment are to be believed) and the amount of anticipation for Prime 4 to finally be re-revealed, I could easily see it getting the 'one more thing' treatment.
