I don’t think we’re getting a direct next week. We know most of Nintendo’s up until March, and major 3d party release schedule up until April. I think Tomodachi life will be Nintendo’z April game so we’re not in a hurry for a direct anymore. I think it’ll be a March direct again and that that’s what we can expect in the years moving forward.
March+June+September for directs sounds about right to me.
@Edd-O yes. Or 4 years on firstpressgames’ chained echoes.
Absolutely trash, that this is allowed. Never EVER order anything at first press games.com. Stay away from them.
@nintendolife, are you perhaps able to also enquire at the developer of chained echoes how he plans to deal with the physical version keeping delayed, just like you did here? I unfortunately do not have the contact details
I made a list (sort of a wishlist), games that have not been released on Nintendo systems, but should be able to run on Switch 2. I think most of these will be released in batches in the next two years and new games will release day and date (or at least close). It’s a gamble which one will be announced when.
I’ll try to keep this list up to date for every direct:
Metal Gear Solid 4 and 5
Journey
Mass Effect Legendary edition
Dragon Age: the veilguard
Dragon’s Dogma 2
Monster Hunter Wilds
Clair obscure expedition 33
Star Wars fallen order and jedi survivor
Psychonauts 1 and 2
Red Dead Redemption 2
Grand Theft Auto IV and V
Detroid: become human
Resident Evil 2, 3 and 4 Remake
FF XVI
Stellar Blade
Demon soul and Dark souls 2+3
Kena: bridge of spirits
Silent Hill 2
Tales of Arise, Scarlet Nexus, Metaphor Refantazio, Fate/Samurai, Star Ocean: the Divine Force, other rpg’s?
Kingdom Hearts
Death Stranding
Like a Dragon games
Control
Alan Wake 2
Baldurs Gate 3
Viewfinder
Hi-fi Rush (shame that studio is gone)
Flight simulator
Deathloop, Ghostwire tokyo
Diablo IV
Oblivion remastered
Fallout games
other Sony ip, Microsoft ip. Why not?
moonlighter 2
Updates for:
Doom, Alan Wake, Witcher III, other assassin’s creeds, Mario + Rabbids, Kingdom come Deliverance, Outer Worlds.
@cvrator actually he directed doki doki panic, because fun fact, mario bros 2 was called like that in Japan. Can you imagine having that game as your first thing on your resume
This guy is a legend. Worked on all paper marios, most luigi’s mansions, was the producer of punch-out on the wii and mario strikers, etc.
I mean if the big T continues with his tariff insanity, and the crazy stuff around the AI golden egg goose chase that nobody apart from a few CEO’s asked for, of course stuff will get a price hike. Money wont go to Nintendo though, but to the grabby hands of the billionaires now secretly in charge and behind the madness going on in the US.
She looks good, but she doesn’t look as if she would jump out of planes, climb trees and monuments with bare hands, wrangle with snakes, kill if she had to.
Angelina Jolie did have that extra badass flavor, next to being sexy, because she’d do all of that stuff (besides the killing) in real life too.
So, what does not come to switch 2 that was announced? Not much, right? Very different from previous years tbh, where switch 1 was left out quite a lot.
Also, that Larian’s new game trailer - divinity, have to say it somewhere, it actually almost made me vomit. Pretty disgusting trailer, made me turn away from that game. Am I the only one?
Weekly port and/or upgrade pack from now on it seems! 2 weeks ago we had tomb raider, last week red dead redemption, now skyrim. Next week the witcher?

@Najlosiji because this is a reader’s list. And the top 100 Nintendo list is a writer / editor list in cooperation with IGN. Different voters.
Re: Rumour: Switch Online GameCube Releases Might Have Been Leaked
@RazzBerryPie @Bass_X0 oh, you’re right. That’s a bit of a pity.
Re: Rumour: Switch Online GameCube Releases Might Have Been Leaked
@liam_doolan there’s also box art of 1080 avalanche at the bottom right of the advertisement. Bit concealed though cause of the age rating.
That would be the game i’d be most hyped for tbh.

Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie's New Trailer Shares A "First Look" At Yoshi
@SplatRay001 yes, that’s mouser, he looks tired just after he gets bombed in smb2
I missed him at first though. Your post reminded me that in this movie you should pause it every few seconds to look for references.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2 Upgrade For Super Mario Bros. Wonder?
Wouldnt this be stuff they’d add to a Nintendo Direct?
What do you guys think: Does this mean we most likely have to wait until March?

Re: Prince Of Persia Team Behind Cancelled Sands Of Time Remake Shares Final Message
@rvcolem1 that said, I would like 5 years of hype for the next Zelda game! One of the only franchises I’m ok to wait for such a long period.
Re: Prince Of Persia Team Behind Cancelled Sands Of Time Remake Shares Final Message
@OLD64FOREVER Ubisoft did so bad keeping their franchises alive. They have such a legacy they could be banking on…

@FoxRush agreed. And mighty ape if you only want shipped games.
Sad though that competition is going away.

Re: Pokémon's Game Boy Development Process Took A "Great Deal Of Trial And Error"
Ok. Then put the games on switch to recoup some of that trial and error costs.

Let it choose.
