Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

Everything is happening exactly how I thought it would.
So now, let's get that good Direct for the 7th of February, Nintendo!

Given the investors meeting news, I'm thinking the next multi-game Direct will be on 4th April. Maybe you'll get a Pokemon Direct near Pokemon Day or a Smash Direct around the release of Piranha Plant as paid DLC but it feels like Nintendo's giving up on the rest of this fiscal year. Maybe February's release will be the worldwide release of Dragalia Lost on iOS and Android (only currently available in a few countries).

@the_beaver Do you know something;)?

I really want to sell my Switch after the way this year has started. Get a powerful laptop or something. Something that actuallu has GOOD 3rd party support. My point is 2017 was good, 2018 wasnot as good but still fair, 2019 not looking that good in my eyes on the 3rd party front.

Dude, calm down. It's just the first month. Why are you getting so worked up about it? Learn to be patient.

@DannyBoi If you only care about 3rd parties, go buy an Xbox or PS4. Sure the Switch doesn't have as many as those two I just mentioned, but it's getting a fair few this year. More will be announced in the future. I'm sure I don't need to list all the 1st party games for this year. This year won't be a 2017, but it'll be much better than 2018.

@DannyBoi how many games do you have for your switch. I have mostly first party games and I still can’t finish them all. More games that come out are just a bigger backlog for me so 2019 could be a blessing in disguise to finish my games. Multiplayer games like Mario kart 8, splatoon, mario aces, smash rocket league don’t help the backlog either.

@DannyBoi Wait how on earth was 2018 worse than 2017 in terms of third party? There were far more quality titles that launched in 2018 than in 2017.

And 2019 is off to a pretty good start. Over the next few months we have BlazBlue Central Fiction, Trials Rising, Steins;Gate Elite, Ace Attorney Trilogy, Assassin's Creed III Liberation Collection, Saints Row the Third, Darksiders: Warmastered Edition, Super Dragon Ball Heroes, FF X|X-2 HD, Dragon's Dogma, Mortal Kombat 11, and FFXII: The Zodiac Age.

Pretty good if you ask me.

@DannyBoi you need to pay at least three times the price of Switch to get a decent laptop you can play games on medium settings.

@DannyBoi Play what you want of course. Just please don't be a downer on this website once you sell it

Sounds like a hallmark card 😅

It’s a weeb game, isn’t it?

For Nintendo, software scheduled for the next term (from April 19th) but not yet announced, there are things that are in line with online services - those that you will be pleased with.

@Whitewatermoose Thoughts on this info?: https://www.resetera.com/threads/nintendo-%E2%80%9Cexpanding-...

@Whitewatermoose Not sure what that has to do with the article...

@Aozz101x Please let it be that they will put different retro games from different generation consoles. I will be glad if they put 1 month 15 SNES games and then the next month put 5 64 games shifting back SNES-64 until both catalog of games are complete! 😄

@SamusLv7 sounds like something bigger than classic games to me. (although, maybe classic games is something to be happy about.) https://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-preparing-at-least-on...

@Aozz101x Sounds interesting. What do think it could be?

@Aozz101x Could it be a 2D Zelda or 2D Metroid?

Some guesses on what the surprise announcement could be (from what I think is most likely to least likely)
New 2D Zelda
Mario Maker Switch
New Mario +Luigi game
New 2D Metroid
PM 64/TYD Remaster
A new Star Fox
A new traditional Paper Mario
Something Mother related (30th anniversary of Mother 1 is this year)
A new 3D Zelda
Pikmin 4
New Mario+DK
New Golden Sun
New Wave Race
New F-Zero
