I only play Dance Dance Revolution, Para Para Paradise, Drummania, Beatmania IIDX and Pop'n Music from Konami games.

Btw, Bloody Tears IIDX edition (Castlevania) has appeared on DDR SuperNOVA 2 since year 2007.

@Magician
Yeah, last TGS 2019 Konami was so persistent with Sound Voltex, Beatmania IIDX and Dance Dance Revolution for mobile again. 😒
Looking at playing Beatmania IIDX with actual IIDX controller but with tablet screen was looked very forcing.

Hasn't Nintendo only commented on BotW2's development going well once?

@Giancarlothomaz
I never said they did. I said it was rumored, and that it's something we're expecting.

A lot of people are excited to have a modernized Monster Hunter on Switch. That's literally all we've been asking for. Be it World, Rise or some other title, we just want a modernized MH on Switch. That's why it was so depressing when World didnt come to Switch. In hindsight though it was for the best. Because its success means Rise is high budget now too. And, it means we have TWICE the MH to enjoy, one on console with super high end graphics, and one on Switch that's still super high end for a handheld entry.

To be fair, the other side of this is them probably hoping people will stop hounding them repeatedly for news before they are ready to give it. "Progressing well" is just the generic 'stop asking us, we'll tell you something when we're ready' response. This is part of why games shouldn't be announced so far ahead of a release date.

Well, yeah, @Shadowthrone .... They chose to do that, so they should expect fans to be eager to hear something a bit more definite on the game! Perhaps they'll learn from this for future games, though

@MarioLover92 @JaxonH As far as I'm aware, it was just confirmed to be a sequel to a series other than the original. They also said bringing back Battle Network would take a lot of planning, implying it wasn't that, and mentioned something implying there wasn't a new Zero/ZX game during the release of that collection. Star Force is unlikely to be the next series to come back, so that left X or Legends... and no one thinks Legends 3 is going to happen so the assumption is X9.

Just a heads up, but Untitled Goose Game is currently 25% off on the eShop in NA until October 7th. Presumably because of the new multiplayer update. Wouldn't surprise me if this is also in effect for the UK/EU/PAL territories.

it seens that the upcoming Fall update for Animal Crossing New Horizons is gonna release very soon with a lot of activities and spook-tacular tricks and treats(what?).

@Shadowthrone it have been nearly 4 years since Bayonetta 3 was anounced at TGA 2017, and still we don't have a single gameplay trailer for the game, beside Platinum Games stateting several times that the development of the game is progressing well, if the development of the game is progressing well, just show already a gameplay trailer for the game.

@Giancarlothomaz

The Bayonetta 3 announcement won't be four years passed until December 7th 2021. That's fifteen months from now. I wouldn't qualify that as "nearly four years". But it's true, Bayonetta 2 was only two years separated from announcement to shipping product.

Clearly Bayonetta 3 was only at the planning stage of development when Nintendo made the announcement. Bayonetta 3 might still be years away for all we know. If we don't get a whiff of new info by March then it's fair to assume Bayo 3 is 2022 or later. Still, I have faith in the mad-genius of Hideki Kamiya, he'll deliver.

Astral Chain came out of nowhere, and BAM!, it released just a few months later.

Who knows when they’ll next show off Bayonetta 3. But I suspect once they do show it, it’ll be another BAM!, releases in 3-4 months time.

BotW 2, Bayonetta 3 and Metroid Prime 4 were clearly announcements meant to reduce concerns about Switch support. Bayonetta 3 bolstered the Bayonetta 1+2 port announcement (there was a lot of complaints about ports in 2018), Metroid Prime 4 was to reduce the backlash of Metroid Samus Returns coming to 3DS and BotW 2 was to show Switch was still getting big games after Animal Crossing.

SMTV on the other hand was clearly Atlus being Atlus.

Two constants in the universe: Atlus announcing games early and Atlus delaying said game

@Grumblevolcano I'm not so sure that's solely on Atlus. I wonder if Nintendo put pressure on them to reveal it since at the time they were only supporting the 3DS. Don't forget, that was one of the major titles for their big full reveal of the Switch.

Square Enix event on TGS 2020 will be started 8 hours later.
If there will be Dragon Quest Builders 3 from TGS 2020, i will die in happiness.

I'll admit, if the next Smash character is based on Monster Hunter Rise, it'd explain why they didn't reveal it til now. And it's not like Monster Hunter doesn't deserve a playable character... even if I would personally prefer Arthur, Phoenix Wright, Viewtiful Joe, Ammy, or Jill Valentine as the next Capcom rep over any MH rep. Mostly because they're strong iconic characters, and MH already has a dedicated boss fight in Smash.

the next Kirby game is already out, if someone want to play this game.
