Topic: Nintendo Direct September 2018 Hopes and Predictions!

@MisterPi I liked Star Fox Zero's controls - you just need to get used to them!

@Cobalt I'll believe you if you can confirm that Platinum will have something in the Direct.

@Cobalt TBH you were called out as a fake quite a few times and you proved people wrong all those times, so I’m gonna believe you but still take it with a little grain of salt so I won’t get hyped for anything

@Matthew010

I really like StarFox Zero's controls too and I'm absolutely ok with you when you said that you just need to get used to them. It tooks me 15/20 minutes to really get the stuff but god, after that period of time it was just awesome. StarFox Zero is great counter to what the press was saying.

Now, I don't ask anybody to believe me or not and I'm NOT GONNA CONFIRM this or that. You have to understand that I'm like anybody else here. I just repeat what I heard from people who already were correct since the Wii U's launch. For a majority of them I can say that I trust'em totally but sometimes plans change, dates change, names evolved, pojects are on hold etc...

Basically, nobody can confirm a thing, owww EVEN Nintendo themselves recently... with that earthsquake... :/ Now, I don't care about being believed or not, I just wanted to share what reached my ears, simple as that...

@darkswabber You're absolutely right, take it with a grain of salt, always ! Nothing is 100% true until an official reveal.

Is it weird that all I want to see tonight is more Smash stuff? I mean, sure, surprise me with stuff that's not Smash, Nintendo! But ultimately, I just wanna see the next Smash newcomer.

@GoldenGamer88 That's a weird way of spelling Pikmin 4!

@Octane They're skipping Pikmin 4 due to taking so long to develop and have instead gone straight to Pikmin 5

Prediction: it will be about Nintendo Online Service, of course. They have to explain things about it, which starts in 5 days. Like which 10 other NES games will be available (no SNES or later consoles' games, though. Not now, I don't think ever).

Hopes: I'm really covered for the rest of the year, really.

Hopes: staying awake, stayed up past 02:30 last night playing FIFA and DQ Builders.

I really hope they don't cover the Online for too long if at all. I just want trailer after trailer as per as usual. An entirely separate trailer for the online would suffice imo.

@GoldenGamer88 they already mentioned that the online will have a presence in the presentation. It's important enough to where I could see them spending 5 minutes on it. We'll see in 11 hours!!

@redd214 Oh they did? I still hope they keep it to a minimum. Cloud saves are already looking rather limited and I couldn't care less about NES games.

I'm still surprised they are going to be featuring NSOS during the Direct. I was rather expecting it to go live without them actually informing us about anything beyond the launch date (if that).

@Moroboshi876

They said it's going to be about showing off new Switch and 3DS games. Hopefully wont be more than 10 mins on the online.

10 out of 35 minutes is already waaaaaaaaay too long.

Nintendo apparently just trademarked Golden Sun:

Please be a new JRPG. There's definitely space in their library for a second JRPG series on top of Xenoblade. More traditional turn-based affair.

@Dezzy We call that traditional turn-based game "Pokemon". :^]

Golden Sun would be sweet as hell though. Even if it's on 3DS, I'll still buy it.

A little more than nine hours to go.

This is going to feel like a long day at work today, for the hype is real.

@EvilLucario

Pokemon has never felt entirely JRPG to me even though it does follow the formula. The draw of pokemon has always been more about the catching and developing some cute pets, rather than other aspects of JRPG.

I'm thinking story, developing a party of characters that have relationships, world building and exploration. Xenoblade is more JRPG than Pokemon in those respects. It's just a different take on the formula. That traditional party turn-based system is still great though so there's room for another game in that genre.

A new Wave Race or F-ZERO would be sweet. I doubt it'll be today tho.
