Just watched the NL Youtube video about the new Shin Chan game. Seems like a great game and those summer vacation games too. I can not get enough peaceful games, so I am sure to buy Shin Chan.
@Giancarlothomaz I think it'll depend on whether there's a September general Direct. Looking back to 2014 you had:
February general Direct
April Smash Direct
April Tomodachi Life Direct
April MK8 Direct
June general Direct (E3)
August Hyrule Warriors Direct
September Bayonetta 2 Direct
October Smash Direct
November general Direct
Japan also had a few 3DS Directs and a Monster Hunter Direct but Japan did get the New 3DS in 2014. Now looking at 2022, Nintendo could technically get away without doing a general Direct in September and in that outcome they'd definitely do a Bayonetta 3 Direct in September or October along with a Partner Showcase in either month.
I don't think they'll do that though. I think they'll do a general Direct in September with spotlights being Bayonetta 3, Scarlet/Violet and NSO Expansion Pack. Don't get me wrong, Pokemon hasn't been in a Direct since March 2020 (Isle of Armor got info in the Mini that month) but given how little we actually know about the game if they opt for trailer in August rather than Pokemon Presents then I could see a big spotlight in a general Direct (similar to the Sword/Shield segment in September 2019 Direct).
Usually they do a spotlight for the big January - March title but if that's BotW 2, I could see them just closing the Direct with a teaser trailer instead.
a Nintendo Direct dedicated for Splatoon 3 just like Nintendo did for Splatoon 2? could they also do this for Bayonetta 3?(Nintendo did a Nintendo Direct dedicated for Bayonetta 2 in setembre 2014, i could see they doing the same with Bayonetta 3)
I personally doubt we'll get a dedicated Bayonetta Direct since the latest trailer we got gave us a lot of info (in only 3-4 minutes no less), though I am definitely confident it'll get it's own 4-5 minute section in a general Direct if one were to come out before it's release. Splatoon meanwhile still has a lot of unanswered questions that a dedicated Direct could answer easily (stuff like the idols, single player, splatfests and testfires are all examples of what could be shown off) and Pokemon then is.....admittedly an absolute wildcard but I'm personally holding out hope for either an early August trailer or a late August Pokemon Presents (though being slotted into a general Direct similar to SwSh and LGPE is also possible).

I know it's not late August but between me calling Mushroom Gorge coming back in MK8D, my powers of prediction have been shockingly good recently.

All I really want to say is A Hat in Time is quite possibly the next-best 3D platformer on the Switch after Odyssey. And I'm mad I didn't find it until a couple weeks ago.
Haven't played it on Switch, but had heard some good things about it so bought it on Xbox a while back. I have to say, I just bounced right off it - couldn't get into it at all and ended up abandoning it after a few hours. Actually, the last few 'acclaimed' 3D Platformers I've played just haven't done anything for me, including some that are considered classics that I didn't play back in the day - Hat in Time, both Psychonauts games, Conker, Banjo, Mario 64 etc.
It's not even a case of not liking the genre - Mario Galaxy is one of my all-time favourites and loved the likes of Sly Cooper and Ratchet & Clank on the PS3
Congratulations, @Fizza .... With your powers, please can you get SE to hurry up with Star Ocean 2nd Evolution R that we've been waiting for since 1st Departure R came to Switch ages ago?
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is so good. I'm hopelessly addicted already- had to put Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak on hold for the time being.
It makes me want a port of Xenoblade Chronicles X on Switch so badly. I loved that game to death. It had a distinct sci-fi approach that XC3 kind of reminds me of, but X was just on another level when it came to world exploration, and the skell customization and the warring factions between different alien races...
Ugh. Two games I desperately need ported on Switch- Metroid Prime and Xenoblade X. I would have said Persona 5 Royal and Portal 1/2 but, surprise surprise! That wish has now been granted!
That Distant Future chapter in Live a Live? Chefs kiss. This was like a response to every criticism I've had with other chapters addressed to make it basically the perfect vignette. Deffo the highlight of the game for me so far, by a wide margin.
My updated ranking would probably be:
1) Distant Future
2) Wild West
3) Imperial China
4) Present Day
5) Edo Japan
6) Near Future
7) Prehistory
XC3 isn't my ideal Xenoblade game, but I'm extremely happy with the improvements they've made almost across the board, from addressing the resolution issues in handheld mode to making side content more enjoyable to tackle.
With that said, I do hope they take a break from the series after this. Weren't they developing some medieval action-rpg? I wanna see that. I'd also love to see remakes of the Baten Kaitos games.

Hmm, so futuristic citys and mechs then as an idea for another trope for them to use. lol
@Ralizah I wonder if the medieval game turned out to be BotW 2. BotW was already delving into Skyrim/Witcher territory and we currently know very little about BotW 2.
