Update: Watch it live here!
Nintendo has announced that another Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase will be broadcast tomorrow (Thursday 17th September) at 3pm BST / 4pm CET / 10am ET / 7am PT.
By sheer coincidence, this surprise Nintendo Direct Mini is coming on the same day as Nintendo Life's very own Nintendo Life Indie Spotlight a few hours later. So you've got a double helping of Nintendo Switch treats to look forward to tomorrow!
Nintendo of America announced the surprise showcase via the tweet below:
Tune in on Thursday 17th September at 15:00 UK time / 16:00 CEST for a live-streamed Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase, featuring information on upcoming Nintendo Switch titles exclusively from Nintendo’s publishing partners.
This will be the third Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase in as many months, with the July and August editions highlighting Switch games from third-party publishers in a smaller scale format than bigger full fat Nintendo Directs, the last of which was broadcast over a year ago (discounting the recent Mario-specific 35th Anniversary Direct, of course).
As usual, you'll be able to tune in and watch the broadcast right here on Nintendo Life. Then you can take a few hours to compose yourself and prepare for our Nintendo Life Indie Spotlight scheduled for later on in the day (10:15PM BST / 11:15PM CET / 2:15PM PT / 5:15PM ET) Lovely!
Excited for what might come up in this Nintendo Direct Mini? Let us know your predictions below.

Please don't get your hopes up for anything too big here!
Who ready to put up with nintendos crap for a second time? I know I am.
Looking forward to seeing footage from FIFA 21: Legacy Edition and the hotly anticipated Imagine Babyz: Poo's Company, Wee's a Crowd.
Fall Guys + Bravely Default II + Monster Hunter.
No pressure, Nintendo.
The last two were bad... Hopefully this one will have some good surprises.
If they give me a release date for Doom, then, I'll be happy 😁
Aw crap, here we go again.
Let the rage, hatred, and disappointment begin!
the last one was terrible... my expectations are very low... but in a week where we'll receive the marioS.. nothing can make me sad!
Urban Champion DX
We're almost out of summer.
Hollow Knight 2 ?
A release date for Doom Eternal for before years end would be good or a relatively big third party game getting announced for a release shortly...
Hope's are low, but let's just see....
I’m thinking release dates for Doom Eternal and Bravely Default 2 (is it Ninty or Squeenix publishing?).
Then again, with my backlog they could announce only that Babyz game @Silly_G mentioned and I still would feel okay.
Oh what the heck one definite very very very unlikely announcement for old times sake; Ace Combat 3 Remake! I like the dream of the incredibly unlikely.
Hmm if it anything like the last partner showcase this could be interesting
I literally don't remember the last one. I got my SMT V and Nocturne news though so I've made up my mind not to complain about these
Bravely Default 2 is all I want from this Direct.
Monster-sized Partner Showcase incoming?
There's no Smash reveals in Partner Showcases. People get hyped like they support Donald Trump, only to end up disappointed after listening to Joe Biden. Sorry for bringing politics into this, but that's how it is.
It's funny how despite Nintendo having the image of being aimed at kids, the people who complain (be it justified or not) are always teens or adults, never kids. Same goes for other media aimed for a younger audience (Disney in particular)
Danganronpa trilogy, disco elysium and more please 😁
Last one got me excited with the Collection of SaGa and seeing more of KHMoM. From rumours I've got an idea of what might be announced here.
Yep, I knew it! Hahaha!
Here we go again... (And on my birthday! )
Well let's prepare for disappointment I gess
@Entrr_username Nintendo isn't just aimed at kids, neither is Disney.
Even just one solid announcement would be great. Square already dashed hopes for a Kingdom Hearts collection anytime soon, which kinda sucks. Would love to see Namco port the Pac-Man World games for Pac-Man's 40th anniversary. Of course, I'm going in with low expectations, though.
@patbacknitro18 We have been getting "Direct" like video's every week for the last few weeks. Partner direct last month, Indie showcase, Mario Direct last week, new partner direct. Sure the big "one direct" has been cut, but we get the same amount of new information. Just bite-sized.
And with the current pandemic, that seems reasonable.
I hope they say something about deltarune chapter 2, not going to happen!
Mass Effect please !
I don't think the past two Partner Directs were much good, but if they're going to come along this often that that's fine by me. Not every announcement is for everyone!
Expectations: Monster Hunter Switch, Doom Eternal drop date, something Sonic related.
Reality: FIFA Legacy 2021 and that's it.
lemme guess, nfs hot pursuit, because rumors and listings were giving that remaster a november launch date. almost october ...so .... 1+1 =?
I swear. The only thing that can save this is a Smash reveal. If that actually does happen, let's hope to God it's not stupid.
@Entrr_username I mean, depending on how old we're talking about, kids probably shouldn't have unrestricted access to internet forums, anyway. And if they're young enough, they're just gonna consume whatever media they're given and not fully grasp stuff like corporate greed and lackluster presentations. I've played Nintendo since I was like 3 years old, but it wasn't until I was 11 when I knew what an "E3" even was. Not sure how many kids would know or care about a Direct to be disappointed by it in the first place. Directs are for the hardcore audience, commercials and ads are how they reach casual audiences like kids.
@Snatcher Deltarune would be an indie game. So no.
I’m thinking this is indies only right? So things like MH5 would be in a main direct with the AAA gang?
My hope are up and I know they will let me down Probably bunch of release dates and nothing new and exciting.
I just want Skater XL.
@Lord no indie
This is partner showcase
Big name studios
Neat. The partner showcases haven't been particularly exciting so far but there tends to be at least one interesting game to come out of them so I'm all for it.
GTA5 incoming
Although already announced and we've seen Switch footage. Would be cool for Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 to have a small segment to bring a lil hype and remind people, the week before release.
I'm guessing MAYBE Apex Legends might shadow drop...?
Honestly I’ll just be happy with a Hades release date, or even more so, if it shadow drops tomorrow. Was rumored to drop tomorrow, BUT, Nintendo has since updated its eshop listing to Fall 2020. So dunno.
Also be happy with a Mass Effect trilogy, and some other fun ports.
Nice that this one is streamed this time, while it was very easy to load up the Directs that weren't streamed without being spoiled on any of its contents it's just not the same as a streamed Direct.
DISCO ELYSIUM PLS
I would love to see some kind of Tekken game from Namco (there's literally NO proper 3D fighters on Switch - such an obvious gap in the market to exploit!!) and Dreamcast games from Sega.
Considering those aren't usually that exciting it's actually good that they're pretty common. The first one went down pretty badly probably because of the long radio silence. And they're announcing their big games without a Direct now (like Pikmin 3 or Hyrule Warriors).
Maybe the regular Direct format is dead? Or at least until corona passes over.
Nintendo has laid its cards on the table, people. Age of calamity is their big holiday title. I think I can live with that but I understand that there are people who can't. And I think proper Directs are completely dead (the last relict from Iwata so to speak). From now on its just shadow drops close to a game's release and partner Directs. No more hyping yourself for months untill the game gets released. The times are changing.
Well, I have enough games to play until the end of the year, but I still hope they announce something interesting
Hollow knight silksong is all I am after, hoping for this
I’m happy with the 1st party offerings to keep me occupied for the foreseeable future. Anything decent here is a bonus! Would love a Tony Hawk game though(although I think it’s more likely to come with Switch Pro).
No expectations here at all, but Nintendo clearly tries to stay in the headlines as much as possible before the release of the next gen consoles and their own firework of news and games early next year.
Maybe Nintendo learned some 3rd-parties that they can put some NGC and wii roms an a cartridge and sell them for 60 is a good businessmodel.
I wasn't expecting anything these weeks because my backlog is way too big. I am literally buying games just to have them.
I have no expectations for this Mini Direct... I wonder when our next BIG direct will hit?
Prince of Persia sands of time?
I'm hoping for Silk song shadow drop. Anythings possible with Nintendo.
Really hope that we finally get an update on DOOM Eternal on Switch. Other than that I'm easy. A dream pick for me would be another Star Ocean title, maybe Star Ocean Second Evolution R? Not holding my breath for that though
Tony Hawk 1+2 for Switch pliiiiiiiis <3
Is it naive to think this will be where the line ups for the rest of the year will be announced and it could be exciting?
About to undermine myself but I'd also like the rumoured Need for Speed Hot Pursuit remaster to be formally announced and dated.
@YoshiAngemon your comment didn’t make much sense. Also- trump is a complete lunatic and his fans are even more so...
Prime 4, Bayonetta 3, BotW 2 then?
@Clyde_Radcliffe I’d take a Soul calibur port any day!
I see you have some expectations all tucked away there. There they are, just poking out of your pocket, expectations. I see them. Please excuse me for venturing some unsolicited advice, but it might be prudent for you to take those expectations and put them in this little box here. Don't worry, I'll give them back afterwards. See you in a little while.
waits until no-one can see
pulls out hammer and flamethrower
@TIND So glad I am not the only one
...
I used to get excited whenever I saw the words; "Nintendo Direct". Now I can't help but have apathy. I expect nothing from this "partner showcase".
@shazbot It's 3rd party, not 1st
Hoping for Mass Effect, Apex Legends and Battlefield 3 Remaster (ok last one was a joke).
@ritouf no worries, there will be no roguelites, metroidvanias or pixel art. Promise.
NOW ENJOY THESE FINE RHYTHM GAME VERSIONS OF WELL LOVED FRANCHISES THAT AREN'T OTHERWISE AVAILABLE ON SWITCH!!!
MWU- HAHAHAAHAAAAAA!!!!
Nintendo are just begging to get ***** on
I hope they show quality 3rd party games in this time, not casual wii crap again.
What could it be? Who knows? Will people be happy?
Not a chance mate. This is the internet era! Nobody is happy. And anyone who says otherwise is wrong... right?
That’s the impression I get. Even looking through these comments I’d say the majority are mildly to extremely negative.
Even when a proper direct happens, there’s always somebody whose comments are so angry it’s a wonder their head hasn’t exploded
wait this one is livestreamed? Wasn't the previous ones prerecorded drops?
@abe_hikura Well it says "live-streamed" so it's probably livestreamed.
@bigboss313 joke
My wish list
Sega HOTD ports as announced last year
Square dragon quest x online port
Namco soul cabilur port with Playable link
Capcom monster hunter 5
@YoshiAngemon That analogy doesn't really work if you support the opposition, but I get where you were coming from. I do agree that people get hyped up and ultimately get disappointed though. You can use the Sega scenario here where people earlier in the year expected a Dreamcast 2 like announcement and instead got a Game Gear Micro =0p
I'm expecting very little. Just give me Doom Eternal and I'll walk away happy, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
@Snatcher I mean Deltarune is in Toby fox his hands not Nintendo. If you want any news from that game it's not coming from Nintendo first. It will take a while though before Deltarune comes out Toby is still working on it.
Well, i hope the Mini Direct is already recorded so i can skip quickly just want to know the interesting part.
@Anti-Matter Well it says "live-streamed. So you can't skip.
The fact this has been announced in advance and is live suggests a more substantial partner showcase than the previous 2.
Personally I can't see past the PS5 showcase later so I will get excited about this tomorrow, and the Nintendo Life show which I just learnt about.
Busy couple of days!
After we watched it most people will say well at least we had that Mario Direct lol.
Looking forward to this!
I'd be happy with just NFS Hot Pursuit.
Yo kai watch 4 please 🙏
Can definitely see GTA coming to switch, maybe nows the time
Need FFVI or Lunar Silver Star Story
Street fighter 4 and Capcom Arcade Stadium confirmed
This is relatively advanced notice and they aren't saying it's for previously announced games. Maybe it's going to be decent?
My wishlist:
Tony Hawk 1+2
DoomE dated
Mass Effect Trilogy
Some dang Persona or Yakuza.
Silksong. Ori 2. Axiom 2. Bloodstained 2.
Easy to guess my fav genre.
Looks like Prince of Persia will be announced...
@Mfreddy22 A man of taste
Another Direct, another hope for Gran Pulse saga on Switch (told you I would hope for it as long as Switch kept getting games). While we're at it, Dishonored as well.
And I mean, out of my #portbegging top 3 these two once formed together with Bioshock, my wait for Bioshock has already paid off in the end...😎😄
Nice!!!! Bring it on.
I can't think of much of anything I'd enjoy seeing right now from Nintendo's "publishing partners", but I'm always hoping to be surprised.
Not expecting/hoping for anything too specific, just happy to see some new announcements. Fingers crossed they're decent ones. We'll see.
Something on Bravely Default 2 is the most I would really expect, a release date would be nice, but I wouldn't be entirely surprised if that ended up moving to next year.
I guess Axiom Verge 2 as well, but that would probably show up in the indie directs rather than in one of these.
Other than those I really dunno what I would care about, would be nice to get something cool and out of left field.
I think now that they are going to be monthly its easier to stomach if they are quite disappointing.
I can't wait to be disappointed
I loved the Atlus showcase. It launched my most wanted new game and remaster.
So I think with this kind of presentation it all depends on whether the game they reveal is your thing or not.
Cruisin USA? Anyone? Anyone?
Perhaps we'll finally see Doom Eternal running on Switch? Surely its release can't be too far off. The developer said back in July, that they would announce its release date soon.
If Doom Eternal is the focus of tomorrow's Direct, perhaps we'll get another reveal or two from Bethesda. It was around this time 2 years ago, that Doom and Wolfenstein 2 were revealed.
Half Life 3 confirmed!
Duke Nukem Forever switch.
The fact that this Partner Showcase was announced in advance and is going to be streamed instead of shadow-dropped makes me think we might see some bigger titles compared to the other two. Not really hoping for much - I mostly play first-party titles on my Switch, anyway - but it would be nice to see Bravely Default 2, among other things. I guess we’ll see!
@Entrr_username,
Yes hypocrisy runs rife on these comment sections.
Yes hopefully this one showcases more to be excited about. As some have pointed out it is interesting there's no disclaimer telling everyone to keep it in your pants unlike the previous "Mini Directs".
I believe this direct is already screwed though. A lot of people are letting their hopes and dreams run too wild so the expectation bar is already way out of reach. It's best to just drop these as a surprise so that doesn't happen.
I want 400 comments worth of crying tomorrow or I will be very disappointed. Don't let me down gang...
Hopefully they show more WWE BATTLEGROUNDS!!!!! That way I can throw up and smash my Switch against the floor like I did last time! 👍🏻
@WiltonRoots,
I do not think they will let you down.
Still patiently waiting on Silksong
Elden Ring finally
@Pod @Grumblevolcano @BenAV I don't have patience anymore for new people so I'm just asking you lot - would Platinum not be considered a "partner' for Bayonetta 3 just b/c Nintendo is paying for the game, b/c that seems like a partnership to me?
120 comments and only this 1 person mentioned B3 @shazbot Of course they also mentioned Metroid Prime and BotW2, and while MP4 may be a partner w/ Retro BotW2 is straight up Nintendo I think so not expecting those 2, but B3?
Surely some Bayonetta 3 news is due, it's been 6 SIX years since 2 and 3 threes since B3 was announced. Surely they can make a new Bayonetta game in 3 years, pandemic or no.
So that's all I want tomorrow, B3. But if you 3 think it's not "partner" ,material, well I'll lower my expectations then.
As usual, keeping expectations low.
@Silly_G I'm looking forward to Ubisoft's Imagine: Game developer, Imagine: Esports player, We sing: Mumble rap edition and Just dance Fortnite edition.😂
Will be 3 games maximum. Who knows what though. Hopefully, Bravely Default is at least one. May talk about NMH3 next year even like they did with SMT.
Bayonetta 3 or Doom Eternal. Please at least tell us if they are still happening.
@rjejr I think because Nintendo's publishing it, that means it might be somewhat unlikely that it'll be shown in a 'Partner Showcase' which focus on games published by third parties. The Cadence of Hyrule DLC/physical release was announced in the first Partner Showcase though so anything could happen. We've only had two of these so far so it's a pretty small sample size of what to expect from them. Basically I wouldn't get your hopes up but there's always a chance.
Watch it just be fifteen minutes of Bakugan
My guess is finally the announcement of Silk Song's release date and Cyber Shadow, and hopefully Bushiden.
All I ask for is Bravely Default 2's release date. Barring any other announcements, it's one of the releases I most look forward to this year.
DOOM Eternal
Bravely Default 2
@BenAV Thanks. I suppose it was less hope, more, all the other comments read more like Indie Direct worthy, not partner. I mean Silksong? Come on man.
Doom Eternal should be in there but I don't play FPS. Bravely Default 2. I do play JRPGs, but not ones that look like they just ported over a 3DS game.
Oh, just realized Gods & Monsters, I mean Immortals Fenyx Rising, should be in there. Looking forward to that one, when it hits $30 by February. Year too late with that one, should have kept this years Feb release date, I'll be playing HW: AOC instead. Not the same, but close enough. B3 might make me rethink that HW pre-order.
Anyway just surprised only 1/120 mentioned B3, afraid it was cancelled and nobody told me. 😥
Bravely Default II + Super Monkey Ball + Monster Hunter = Ecstatic!
@rjejr We'll hear about it sooner or later, just dunno how they'll choose to go about the announcement when they're ready. I don't have any particular hopes for these Mini Directs which seem to only be about ten minutes long. If one unexpected game that I'm interested pops up then I'm happy enough. Atelier Ryza 2 from the first one (well, the Japanese one at least) and the Taiko adventure games from the second one have been my highlights so far.
Doom Eternal for Switch release date reveal anyone?
Hope there will be a general direct soon. Please nintendo!
@rjejr I was joking - every time this year with a partner mini / indie showcase those 3 games come up. I don't think Bayo3 would qualify because it's Nintendo published.
All I want is Crash Bandicoot 4.
Please.
Cmon, give us Cyber Shadow/Bushiden/Dark Souls 2 so I can stop following this stupid corporation.
I know it wont pay off but hell.. I'm gonna let myself get hyped hoping for Monster Hunter news.
Oh boy, it's time for people to get angry at Nintendo for sharing commercials, but not the specific commercials they want! Getting so wound up over advertising, sheesh...
@BenAV "Mini Directs which seem to only be about ten minutes long"
I'm hoping since they announced this 1 a day in advance and called it "livestream" that it will be at least 18-20 minutes and will have something they feel is worth hyping up. They just dropped the Mario Not-Direct w/o any warning and that had a lot of info in it. So even if it's just Doom Eternal, HW: AOC and Immortals FR I think that's better than the last 2. Also FIFA Re-Skin and WWE Wrasslin' (No idea what that 1 is called.)
Unless it's only Switch timed exclusives, then it would be very short. Too short, so I'm thinking multiplats as well.
@shazbot Hey thanks for the reply. Gotta do the jokey face when you joke on the internet. 🤣 Or /s 😉
Bummer about Bayonetta 3 though, especially if Nintendo is going to go an entire year w/o a full Direct and just do these little partner ones and not consider PG a partner. 3 years. Either it's canceled or it's nearly complete. Ya know,. like Pikmin 4.
Damn i kinda dont care. Unless fall guys comes to switch
I am expecting support from a company Nintendo doesn't normally get games from.
@Gloomnivore Yep! Yep! and Yep!
1. Fallguys belongs on a Nintendo system! I would argue that if fits the "Nintendo crowd" more than the other platforms.
2. Yes to Bravely Default II but this would be the lesser of the 3 for me personally.
3. Please please let a newly developed Monster Hunter game come to the Switch that is built from the ground up for the Switch.
I will most likely be disappointed I'm sure but I can't help but get over-hyped.
Dark Souls 2 is what I'm most hoping for.
Capcom, come on down!
Really though, please adjust your expectations accordingly. I know everyone on the internet will be rational about this.
@johnvboy I’m looking forward to it. It’s gonna be a dumpster fire. 😏
Wery good day indeed.
I honestly feel like these 3rd party Directs are a good thing because it prevents potentially good 3rd party support from being overshadowed by any 1st party announcements. If you put something like Bravely Default 2 in the same video as a MP4 update, it'd be completely overlooked.
Hopefully the more entitled side of the Nintendo fanbase, including some people here, will just keep expectations in check and not expect 5 new AAA-budget releases to be announced.
Why are people talking about Monster Hunter, what did I miss
@Minish-Cap
And which company would that be?
@Fazermint
Lots of rumors about a Monster Hunter Switch have been swirling for years, and recently a trusted Capcom leaker hinted toward it being revealed "soon."
However, based on Capcom's past trends, I'm expecting Monster Hunter to be revealed at TGS, and only a teaser cinematic. In the past Capcom has done:
I would be pleasantly surprised with the teaser cinematic revealed tomorrow, followed by the gameplay reveal at TGS, but I'm not expecting it.
Doubtlessly Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remastered will be part of the sizzle reel in this. Now if only they would bring over Beyond Good & Evil HD, too.
Persona 5 Royal for Switch I hope.
The Switch is going to have games that you don't want to play. Those games are going to be announced. Their announcement is not a personal attack.
@GameOtaku there is nothing that I want more than this... but definitely I don't expect it.. I lost my hopes..
@Ulysses
EA might drop something Star Wars or Madden related. It could just be Unravel or Need for Speed too.
Glad these are coming more frequently. Hope it keeps up!
Nintendo fanboys: " We want more 3rd party games!"
Nintendo: Announces 3rd party-focused Nintendo Direct Mini presentation*
Nintendo fanboys: "Boo! It'll suck! Expect disappointment! We want a REAL direct!" (Translation: We really ONLY want 1st party games!)
🤦♂️ No wonder Nintendo fans have the reputation we do.
@Minish-Cap Is it rumors for an EA game in general, or something specific? My suspicions would be a Mass Effect Trilogy if it's the former.
I would be shocked if EA makes a Star Wars game for Switch. I'm confident Disney banned EA from making Star Wars games for Nintendo, and Disney is checking the Switch box with the LucasArts ports instead.
Wish list:
-some Switch footage of Skywalker Saga and Immortals
-ME Trilogy announcement (surprise! It's all on the cart!!)
-THPS remake announced for Switch
-Kingdoms of Amalur remake coming to Switch
-prev rumored Tomb Raider Collection announcement
-release dates for Baldo, Axiom Verge 2 and Oceanhorn 2
Pretty unrealistic wishlist, but it is fun to dream...
@Laoak On the contrary, this one is going to be BIG! It's live streamed, not some short video.
@Ulysses
A Star Wars port seems likely. There's talk of EA Play being on the Switch. Nintendo life had an article today about speculation of EA Play.
Perhaps it will have news about Bravely Default 2. I still have some games left to complete and buy, so I can wait a few more months.
@Minish-Cap EA Play specifically is very unlikely. In his own words: "IF there are opportunities..." Does Nintendo currently have any third-party game services on Switch's eShop? No, because Nintendo is focused on growing their own online services first and foremost. Why would casual Switch owners subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online for NES/SNES games when they could subscribe to Game Pass or EA Play for last-gen/current-gen games? NSO's value proposition would diminish with other subscriptions models competing within Nintendo's ecosystem.
@Ulysses
Origin is or will be on Gamepass. What if NSO had EA Play included. Most people have one console and don't game on their PC so Ganepass isn't available for most Nintendo fans.
Bravely 2 Update and EA announces SW: Squadrons with PC cross save.
But realistically, probably a bunch of old games I have in my Steam account (and ignore)
Prince of Persia remake is one of the games.
@Snatcher Why get angry when the Direct comes? You can start throwing the tantrum NOW!
@FX102A Bravely Default II is published by Nintendo outside of Japan. Then again, one of these Partner Showcases showed a physical release of Cadence of Hyrule, which was published by Nintendo...
Remember back when seeing the Nintendo Direct logo meant something? Good times.
The last Partner showcases were a huge Meh and I expect the same.
@Minish-Cap
You're right, most Nintendo-only gamers don't have access to Gamepass, and they also don't have access to 70% of the rest of the gaming industry regardless. All signs point to Nintendo continuing to be content to exist in its own unique bubble.
"What if NSO had EA Play included."
This is kind of a pointless hypothetical. Nintendo's NSO is only $20/year, which is a very small amount to portion off to EA in some sort of partnership, even if they increased it to $30.
Gamepass is a completely different situation. Microsoft is betting hard on growing its Netflix of Gaming / Streaming business model at all costs.
@rex_rex Better lower those lows cause I think you're expectations are still too high.
All I want is an ETA for Doom Eternal.
Prediction: Fall Guys and Tony Hawk 1/2 ports announced for Switch. And maybe one surprise announcement (Monster Hunter).
Hooray! Another Partner Showcase Mini with a 5 to 10-minute timeframe of games we already know about! I'm sure everyone loves these Directs!
NOTE: Just to clarify, don't expect anything good out of this. It most definitely will be developers plastering (figuratively speaking) their games on display; nothing worth getting excited about, really.
Bravely default 2 is still listed as coming 2020 so I think we will see an update for that tomorrow, maybe some gameplay followed by a message saying the game has been delayed to march 2021
If you go in with high expectations, you're gonna have a bad time.
To be honest, I don't think the ultra-exciting announcements will come until the last months of the year. But maybe there could be something that was in development for a long time in secret, and was only rumoured for a few months (actually, since last year!)
Yeah... everybody is already predicting a new Monster Hunter will be announced there.
Time to elaborate, if no Monster Hunter-related announcement is made, then embrace the disappointment.
If it happens, prepare for either reconciliation or anger, depending on what the game will be.
I can probably count the number of YouTube videos I've ever Disliked on one hand. And people Disliking things strikes me as odd to begin with, and it's infinitely more baffling when they haven't even watched the darn thing.
Today? Ohoho, I SMASHED that Dislike. I'm tired of being strung like a dog on a leash.
Mass Effect Trilogy. It's happening!
Hopefully this won’t be a sh-tshow like the last one pretty much was.
So I hear there’s rumour of Plants vs Zombies Battle for Neighborville coming to Switch. Kind of hoping for that to be true even though my hopes are low. Even more so since EA seemingly abandoned further updates...but I still want it on Switch.
@Chunkboi79 yeah man.. you are right.. the last direct mini, it was completely empty to me. not a single game that drew my attention... let's see.. hehehe
@kingbk Same here been waiting too long
Hoping we get details and revised dates for what was coming soon... Bravely Default, No More Heroes, Bayonetta 3, Sports Story. If at least one is covered, that would be nice from a goodwill perspective. I’d also love the EA update (makes sense) and a surprise. Could we see something like Battletoads on Switch? Older GTA games?
@rjejr
I am not targeting Bayonetta 3 in any way.
I'm putting quotes around "publishing partners" because apparently the term is just Nintendo jargon for separating larger publishers from the indies.
Seemingly to avoid the term "third parties" which, in Nintendo's eyes includes everything from EA and Curve Digital to Ratalaika Games and that guys who made the Flappy Bird clone with a french pidgeon instead.
@Balta666 Happy bithday!
My gut feeling is Mass Effect for this one, and of course the Monster Hunter gamer that's been no-so-subtly rumoured. Although with Monster Hunter World being compatible for PS5 I'm not sure I can get particularly excited about a Switch game, but we'll see.
I hope P5S gets an English reveal
@SegaBlueSky thanks!!
@Pod And that initials guy, DCXMIAX, whatever or whoever he was.
Well you were right about them not including Bayonetta, and it was nice that it was more than just Nindies. I don't think we really consider Capcom to be a Nindie. A little more big company support would have been nice, but since you can't really get much bigger than Microsoft and Switch got Ori 2 today, well that does cover the gamut from teeny tiny to huge.
Thanks again for the feedback.
@themightyant 1 of 4 isn't bad 😀😀
