While it would be nice to see Switch included in the Okami HD lineup, I shan't be losing any sleep over any particular ports or remasters. I now have nearly every game I'm really interested in from the last 25 years or so in my library, and so would obviously prefer if they remained definitive.
I did happen to lose rather a lot of sleep last night though, for non-gaming reasons, and am feeling a bit ropey today, so the prospect of staying up until midnight tonight for the Direct live chat is looking a bit less likely.
I've seen some leaks/rumours in regard to the direct, and if any of the new stuff of that is true, we'll see some very interesting reactions alright....
@OorWullie For all we know those games were in the Nindies direct.
@FragRed That depends on each individual to give it thought, hence why I'll keep it at just "interesting reactions" not going good nor bad. But personally, I doubt the new additions on this rumour quite a bit. Let's just say it'd be quite the thing, and highly unexpected.
@NaviAndMii Actually, my uncle (who works at nintendo), confirmed that Kirby vs Predator is indeed true. Aliens will be in the first DLC, terminator will be in the second. You can also buy Chuckies (Chuck Norris themed in-game currency), which you can use to buy in-game stuff, such as potions and better weapons.
If we are talking about the fallout 4 rumour, it is a 4chan leak. So most likely fake.
But... Fallout 4 uses the same game engine as Skyrim remastered. If they have added switch support to the engine it should be a straight forward process. Basically just lower res textures and models with less details.
@Therad Yes, that is what I meant, but I know how people can be in regards to knowing such info and potentially "spoiling" things, so I kept it ambiguous.

On the subject of Chuckies my uncle (who also works at Nintendo - it's amazing we're not all be related!) is working on another one of the DLC packs for Kirby vs Predator: the Child's Play pack. Kirby mistakenly absorbs the powers of Chucky and becomes an evil possessed killer.
I just figured MHXX isn't getting localized for the same reason Square hasn't really localized Dragon Quest games for the past decade - they want Nintendo to foot the bill themselves.
Nintendo paid for localization, marketing and distribution for those games in the west since Tri. They'd probably gladly do the same for XX but for whatever reason it's not happening right now.
Same applies for the Dragon Quest games on the DS/3DS. It was Nintendo localizing, marketing, and distributing them.
People are afraid when Triple AAA games, such as Monster Hunter XX, Dragon Quest XI, Dragon Quest Heroes I&II, Dragon Quest X, Secret of Mana Collection, Nobunaga's Ambition, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII etc. are Japanese-only longer than a couple of months without an announcement for NA/EU localization, because in each and every generation we always missed out on games that we wanted but were only available in Japan. Now, without region-lock there's still the language barrier for most of us in many games, but still the old hopeful wish that each region gets their own PAL/NTSC/JP version of any game is alive.
I know I'd buy all of the games I listed above if they ever come to retail in Europe.
However, the upcoming Western release list is bursting already, so I'm fine if those Japan exclusives spread out in the West fully localized over the next year. I would be disappointed if they don't make their way overseas, because some of those games are already localized and released in the West on PS4!
