Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Grumblevolcano Nice list. King of Fighters would be a great reveal.

I just...don't see N64 and Rare Replay in the same direct.

One or other would be a nice route in to BK in Smash though.

@link3710 Oh yeah, the other 2 Mini consoles were random trailers out of nowhere. Swap N64 Mini with "Super Mario Odyssey 2 is in development" - 1 minute and have Super Mario Maker 2 update for 1 minute.

I fully expect to see the "friends online" update of SMM2 to launch after the direct, including, of course, the titular "friends online" feature along with a few new course elements (that will all be gizmos).

While the majority users here keep wishing for typical AAA 3rd party games from PC, i'm waiting for the not so popular games but really capturing my interest with their unique or charming gameplay.

All I know is, we're gonna see

Pikmin 3
Assassins Creed 4
Overwatch

As if 2019 couldn't get any busier

Looks like I'll have plenty to play in 2020. I plan to delay buying anything other than my Zelda and Luigi

Not expecting Banjo details yet. The videos for Joker and Hero were pretty long, so I can't see them including Banjo's in the Direct like that.

Screw it, let's go for the insane prediction: After Terry's reveal, they have another announcement - Halo MCC.

LOL, i got information about upcoming girlie game on Switch + PS4 + Xbox One.
The title was The Unicorn Princess 😆😆😆

@link3710 code: vein (maybe?? Possibly??)

@JaxonH too many games already. I am glad Nintendo has good momentum but man it is killing my wallet.

I wish I had more free time. Too many games I wanna play.

@Anti-Matter I’m so happy for you, you got your game you want before the direct. Hopefully more in the direct.

@Zoriam Thanks for sharing Zo-san!~

P.S Watching this video, is it me or the quality of the games seem to be enhanced up a notch compared to the ordinary Nintendo Switch??? Nintendo! What Sorcery did you use???!!! Now you have me tempted to buy the Lite version too!

Man I love seeing everyone's predictions, so many things I forgot or didn't think of.

@scubydo I feel like Code:Vein is more likely to show up in a Q1 direct than this time around. From what I've heard the developers are in a serious crunch right now just to make the current platforms in time for launch, I doubt they've even looked at a Switch port yet.

@link3710 I hope it is considered in the near future. It looks nice enough to be played on the switch too. ^.^

Predictions?

Metroid Prime 4, Bayonetta 3, Shin Megami Tensei V, and Breath of the Wild 2 won't be mentioned at all. Fingers crossed for Ryu Hayabusa to be the 4th Smash DLC. A prelude to Switch ports of the previous Ninja Gaiden trilogy. And a sizzle reel for previously announced games with fresh new release dates; Rune Factory 4 Special, Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, Indivisible, Darksiders Genesis, Killer Queen Black, Spirit Hunter NG, Two Point Hospital, etc.

And...one last thing, Banjo Smash DLC shadow drop. Update live after broadcast.

Soraya Saga (wife of Tetsuya Takahashi, head of Monolith Soft) retweeted all three Direct announcements so I'm throwing caution to the wind and expecting something from Monolith Soft tomorrow. She really only retweeted Direct announcements from those where Monolith had a hand in, so unless this is the one that changes, I'm all in.

Ryu would be rather nice, though I don't think he has much of a chance. Though, I'm hard pressed to name a better Koei Tecmo character to be added, so he's got that on his side. Warriors doesn't have a mascot, and Ninja Gaiden's got way more history and fame than Atelier, while Dead or Alive is basically nonexistent to Nintendo fans.

I'm still hoping for Rayman or Spyro to make it in now, since I figure the last DLC character is going to be something that's heavily enjoyed in Japan. Though, quite likely, we're going to see both of the final two be more popular in Japan than worldwide.

I predict lots of DLC announcements/clarifications.

But for something crazy: Skyward Sword port. Ready for holidays this year.

<lol but if i'm right everyone must call me awesome>

@rallydefault skyward sword would be great. Bought it not long ago but didnt feel like finishing it on the Wii u since it was strictly on the tv

Looks like Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair might be chasing DKC Tropical Freeze for best 2D platformer of all time (not that I think it’ll quite match DKC, but if it’s even in the ballpark it’ll be an easy second or third place behind DKC Tropical Freeze and DKC Returns)
