Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@PikaPhantom Please don't play with my heart like that!

@GalaxicGlobe all I desire from a Lego game rn is anything related to the ninjago IP
Either a game that gets the skywalker saga treatment and is based on all 10 seasons at once, a remake of Shadow of Ronin, anything.

I hate that the partner direct is 15 minutes after I start work. 😐 I'll have to watch it like 9 or 10 hours late.

@jump I would love another legends game. If it's something else I might skip Pokemon this year.

With the recent partner showcase announcement, I must know; What color is your refrigerators?
Mine is silver, personally.

(yes this has nothing to do with the nintendo direct but i must know)

@DiamondCore black

@DiamondCore mine's silver too but I prefer to keep mine closed

@DiamondCore Silver!

Well, let's see how much of a surprise today brings us or perhaps the bird has already given us most of the goods XD

@chiiizu @FishyS @Nintoz solid tastes in refrigerator colors
8/10, 7/10, and 8/10 respectively

Two hours and change until the PD.

Would it be out of pocket to hope for the console port of Fantasian today?

Although I would take Final Fantasy Tactics Reborn as a backup.

While short, that was a solid Partner Direct.

check out the first Nintendo Direct of 2024

It was decent, excited for:

• Unicorn Overlord demo
• Penny's Big Breakaway
• Monster Hunter Stories
• Pocket Card Jockey
• SMTV Vengeance
• Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble
• Contra Operation Galuga

A shame about the Xbox side of things, Hi-Fi Rush was the only 1 of the 4 teased releases last week that I was interested in and it didn't appear. Also the NSO side of things being Xbox focused means having to wait an extra month for F-Zero Maximum Velocity and there's no chance Pokemon NSO announcements are happening next week (the Gen 2 gym theme is likely a tease for Let's Go Johto at this point).

Pentiment is a well received Xbox exclusive that's coming over as well.

Mother 3 was announced for NSO in Japan…

I’m dead inside

I'm, very cautiously, keeping an eye on the new Endless Ocean.

I always wanted to try the ones on Wii, but the fact that this seems to be multiplayer centric & procedurally generated to a degree (it said the sea changes with each dive) are turnoffs.

Hope it has some sort of single player goals.

Pretty good overall. The Rare announcement and Contra Operation Galuga getting a demo and March release date were the best parts of the direct for me. Been looking forward to that one.

I will try the Contra demo tonight and that's it for me.

I didn't even have high expectations, but this was just meh.

I think Endless Ocean Luminous releasing May 2nd explains the no general Direct extremely well. February general Directs cover February - August but considering Endless Ocean Luminous release timing, we likely know the full 1st party lineup through August now outside of maybe Pokemon spinoff which is the time window February general Directs cover.

It's good for you guys if the games shown this afternoon suit your tastes. Personally, I'm not hyped at all by what was on offer.

• Arranger could be a nice surprise.
• Unicorn Overlord has potential.
• SMT5V's new content looks intriguing but I won't buy (and replay) the same game.

Nothing else for me. It really feels like the end of the Switch life cycle.
