That was honestly a pretty solid showcase, Sunbreak was the highlight.

It was neat that Capcom put all the Switch stuff first:

  • MH Rise Sunbreak (Switch)
  • Capcom Spotlight (only non-Switch title was SF6)
  • Exoprimal (non-Switch)
  • Dragon's Dogma 10th anniversary (announcement of an announcement)
  • A load of Resident Evil (all non-Switch)

Monster Hunter Rise is on sale for half off on Steam and Switch as of now! Getting ppl ready for Sunbreak I see.

MH fans are feasting. Nom nom nom

@Grumblevolcano
Doesn't really matter what order they put stuff in. We knew going in it was all about previously announced games, and Sunbreak was going to be the spotlight presentation.

The next gen patches for RE2 and RE3 is very nice timing as the bundle was just on sale on Xbox very recently for a little over $20. Gonna be nice to play those on my Series X.

Anyways, I thought the Xbox Showcase was decent, but not great. Loved that they focused on the next 12 months and on gameplay instead of a bunch of CGI, and that the majority of it is coming to Game Pass on day 1. Starfield and Redfall look great.

The Callisto Protocol in December is the game I'm most looking forward to though.

@Yoshi2 Traditional Nintendo home consoles were on a downward sales trajectory for generations, culminating with the frankly pathetic performance of the Nintendo Wii U.

The industry today is not like it was in the early 90s, and there's basically no scenario where Nintendo will ever return to that sort of uniquely dominant position again. With that said, the Switch is second only to the Nintendo DS at this point as Nintendo's mostly wildly popular game console to date. Some of that is absolutely Nintendo's great first-party support, but a lot of it is also the hybrid form factor. Hybrid play gives Ninty a USP (Unique Selling Point) that the competition isn't able to challenge or replicate.

The downside of this is that Nintendo will likely never be on par with the competition technologically, since they have to take the constraints of mobile gaming tech into consideration.

@Yoshi2 I'm inclined to agree with @Ralizah.

Third party titles only seem to sell on Nintendo platforms when there's a USP (whether that's portability, hybrid, touch-screen or motion controls). A lot of the people into AAA games with cutting-edge graphics are already buying them on PC, Xbox and PS.

That said, even in generations where Nintendo had a more "traditional" console, it was usually held back by some inherent hardware limitation (usually the storage medium: N64's expensive cartridges and Gamecube's lower-storage discs). So there's not really any empirical data to show exactly what would happen if Nintendo matched its competitors. But I suspect that if Nintendo tried to match Sony and Microsoft hardware-wise, they might still fall behind in terms of services (e.g. Gamepass) and social/online features (achievements, voicechat, etc.)

Honestly I think the best we can hope from Nintendo next generation is to keep the Switch concept, but to update and expand on it. Maybe go the Xbox route and phase out generations (with emphasis on single platform, backwards/forwards compatibility, and expanding the already large Switch install base).

Per Emily Rogers, we have a new Fire Emblem title that was originally intended to celebrate the 30th anniversary, but for whatever reason wasn't released that year.

  • Upcoming Fire Emblem is a new game, not a remake.
  • Brand new story.
  • Collaboration between Intelligent Systems, Koei Tecmo and Gust (division of Koei Tecmo Holdings).
  • Gust heavily assisted with the visuals / graphics.
  • Graphics are an improvement over “Three Houses”.
  • Originally intended as an anniversary game to celebrate FE’s 30th anniversary.
  • The game has been finished for over a year.
  • Main character (main lord) has strange red and blue hair. His mother is a dragon.
  • New “Emblems” gimmick allows players to summon “FE characters from the past” for your squad.

@JaxonH if that's the case, I'm all in. All I wanted was a new FE game in the last direct, and we got one, but not was I was hoping for.

@NintendoByNature
You referring to Three Hopes? Ya, I felt the same way. But after playing the demo I feel like it's just as good as a new mainline FE.

But I'll certainly take another! Question is when it gets slotted in. This year is packed, and already has Three Hopes, but if they don't release it this year they'd have to slot it in next year, and we heard there's a remake also... might put them in a situation where they release a new entry and remake in the same year.

@JaxonH Sounds like what happened was Three Hopes was originally DLC for Three Houses (with traditional gameplay, not Warriors gameplay) but grew too big to be DLC (much like how BotW 2 was originally BotW DLC) and so became a standalone title hence it made sense for the next mainline Fire Emblem to release after Three Hopes.

@JaxonH yea 3 hopes. I wasn't disappointed by the announcement, but I wasn't happy either. I'm still getting it, so no harm no foul I guess. In a packed year, maybe a remake is more likely this year and nestle in the new game next year? Who knows, but im frothing at the mouth already!

@NintendoByNature
I wasn't excited at first either but man, that demo is pure fire

I'm as excited for it as Sunbreak now. It's that good!

@Grumblevolcano
DLC??? They already had DLC for Three Houses. It was the 4th House, Ashen Wolves. This game would make no sense as DLC since it reimagines the story with a new protagonist. It's clearly designed as a Warriors game from the start.

Also, Idk where you're getting BotW 2 being DLC from. BotW 2 is a new game, always has been.

@JaxonH It was reported on back in 2019 that BotW 2 started off as BotW DLC but the scope got too big.

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/06/breath_of_the_wilds...

Three Houses did get DLC but there may have originally been plans for even more DLC after. Smash for example had 2 Fighters Passes and we didn't know about the 2nd until the 1st was almost over.
