I did wonder if you were joking, but I've never really heard much negativity about ARMS' controls. No more then any other motion control-focused game.
Its an odd criticism given how good the standard controls work. I never used the motion controls

@antster1983 That's impressive. It's not even entered the charts on any of the Eshop's I've looked at so it shows how well games are selling on there.
Outlast 2 will arrive on the 27th March and will cost £26.99/ $29.99. Strangely it will cost just £15.27/$21.27 on the South African Eshop,which is £3.50/$4.50 cheaper than Outlast 1 cost on there. I just bought Outlast from the Russian Eshop for £16.82/$23.18 which was the cheapest option yet the sequel will cost the equivalent of $33. Still cheaper than the UK but more than US. Multiple Nintendo accounts and a Revolut account is definitely the way to go if you want to save a few quid on all your Eshop purchases.
Rumours swirling of a 3DS Mini Direct. Involving a Wario game, DQXI, BoxBoy? Links Awakening remake, and one thing that...well...
How would you guys feel if Monster Hunter XX got localised as Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate....but its on 3DS?
It just dawned on me...we kept asking them to localise XX already.
We never specified which of the 2 systems it was released on they should localise.
If this is true do Capcom just not want Nintendo home system Monster Hunter games or something? On that note if it IS true why not localjse the version that will get more attention, since its already translated?
God in the event this is real...Capcom will strike me as asinine.
@YummyHappyPills I don't think there is going to be a Nintendo Mini Direct for the 3DS. I think the reason the past Direct focused entirely on the Switch was because Nintendo have decided that the overwhelming sales meant that they can fully put all their efforts into the new system. Any 3DS games coming out now will be minor titles that Nintendo outsource on the cheap to try and get a quick buck to supplement the Switch sales.

@FragRed I think the past Direct was focused entirely on Switch solely to reduce the Labo backlash. That said, I don't see there being a 3DS only Direct but rather 3DS games being the early headlines of a normal Direct.
Eh, I dunno if people would be very excited for a 3DS direct mini. At least, not if it was labeled as such. I expect another regular direct that happens to have 3DS games in it. But if I'm wrong, oh well. Link's Awakening remake alone is worth it
@Grumblevolcano Mini 3DS Direct and an annual 2018 Switch Presentation to mark the console's second year would be great. They have Labo, online and loads to discuss.
I never drive faster than I can see. Besides, it's all in the reflexes.
Outlast 2 will cost £26.99. It’ll take up 9.6GB of space.
Outlast 2 is the sequel to the acclaimed survival horror game Outlast. Set in the same universe as the first game, but with different characters and a different setting, Outlast 2 is a twisted new journey into the depths of the human mind and its dark secrets.
Outlast 2 introduces you to Sullivan Knoth and his followers, who left our wicked world behind to give birth to Temple Gate, a town, deep in the wilderness and hidden from civilization. Knoth and his flock are preparing for the tribulations of the end of times and you’re right in the thick of it.
You are Blake Langermann, a cameraman working with your wife, Lynn. The two of you are investigative journalists willing to take risks and dig deep to uncover the stories no one else will dare touch.
You’re following a trail of clues that started with the seemingly impossible murder of a pregnant woman known only as Jane Doe.
The investigation has lead you miles into the Arizona desert, to a darkness so deep that no one could shed light upon it, and a corruption so profound that going mad may be the only sane thing to do.

Already been mentioned...maybe read the thread rather than just spamming it?
I could see a 3DS Mini Direct happening, but only if the Wario/Link's Awakening rumors are true. Even then the 3DS stuff would be better served via headlines in a full Direct and some Tweets.
That being said, I feel like it would be somewhat tone deaf. Most people seemed to think that the Direct Mini in January implied there would be a bigger one accompanying it, and that the Direct Mini wasn't good enough. I think it's been pretty obvious for a while now that the Direct Mini was their beginning of year Direct, and that there won't be another one (for the Switch at least) until the usual one in March/April
@NaviAndMii What a rude and obnoxious comment. Not the first time either that you've done so. I posted additional information and quoted the Press Release they put out. And I reference where I get my information.

I mean, it's people's own fault for expecting a major Direct. There was lots of misinformation floating around the community, too, about a supposed pattern of a regular Mini-Direct followed by a major Direct within a couple of weeks of time. I pointed out that wasn't the case (that 'data' included a lot of game-specific Directs and there were VERY few instances of an actual general Mini-Direct followed by a big general Direct in a few weeks time), but no one wants to listen...
When Nintendo released the Mini-Direct, I never interpreted as "There's going to be a major one, too", instead it was more "This is all of the info we want to reveal here at the beginning of the year, we will appropriately title it a Mini-Direct." And look, that's just what happened!
The Mini Direct in January combined with lack of release dates made me think a major Direct was coming sometime in February though I'm not annoyed it wasn't the case. Xenoblade 2 took me 290 hours to fully explore and I'm tempted to start New Game Plus on Friday (I really miss the world, characters and gameplay but don't want to start Xenoblade 1 or X because those games coming to Switch in some form is inevitable).
Outlast - Switch vs. PS4 - Visual Comparison Video (Direct-Feed Footage)
They look very similar, it looks good, though the Switch version looks a little blurrier in places. It's a very early PS4 release which may make the port easier and comparisons more favourable.
Eh, Directs come when they come. The games are ready when the games are ready and they'll be announced when they're ready to be announced. That's my view on things anyways.
But see, I've always got something to play, and always a perpetual 100 more in the backlog waiting. So I don't really care when they announce stuff or how long it takes or if we go 12 months without a single new game being shown off... because at the end of the day they always release about 10 games per year, every single year, and that never changes no matter how many Directs they show or when they show them. If we get a bunch of games announced in one direct we'll get just 1-2 announced in the next. In the end it all averages out. So I just go with the flow, knowing that by the time December 31st comes around I will have played roughly a dozen more awesome first party games on Switch, and goodness knows how many third-party titles.
As for the mini Direct for 3DS, The person who shared this information predicted the Alliance Alive demo dropping right after the Direct, and it was just confirmed today that the game would be getting a demo releasing that very day. The odds of that are pretty slim unless the person had legit information.
So, i'm going to assume it's true and here are my thoughts on it: The 3DS is having a really good year- best January since 2013 in fact. As much as people like myself and others want to see the focus entirely on Switch, I cannot deny the reality the people are still buying the system and those people deserve at least some attention. Seeing as we have not really gotten any 3DS announcements since e3 from Nintendo, I think we're about due.
The question is, will MH Generations Ultimate be 3DS only? Surely not. It might be a 3DS focused direct but I imagine they would announce it for both 3DS and Switch. The only reason I can think of they would not localize for Switch is because of how popular and hot the system is. And perhaps they would rather save the first Switch MH for a new entry ala World, so as to not squander new players that might pick the game up after the hype from World and be put off. I will be incredibly pissed off if that's the case though. And I just don't see them doing that. I don't. Although bringing it to 3DS only is admittedly more acceptable to have that older style of game because of how limited the hardware is. But I swear if they localize that game and don't bring it to Switch I will riot. Let's just leave it at that.
Psalms 22:16 (1,000 yrs before Christ)
They pierced My hands and feet
Isaiah 53:5 (700 yrs before Christ)
He was pierced for our transgressions
Zachariah 12:10 (500 yrs before Christ)
They will look on Me whom they pierced
@JaxonH Sure it would create a lot of anger among the fanbase for a certain amount of time but if the 3DS Direct is real and a Switch focused event was happening soon after (say for example a major Direct around a week later), I could see MH Generations Ultimate for Switch announcement potentially being saved for the Switch event.
