@BandeeOfTheStars same! I’m applying clown make-up as we speak

@RoguePenguin I forgot about cosmic invasion!! sooo hyped for that. And rumour has it rivals could be a shadow drop but don’t quote me 😬

@Johnny44 respectfully I’d trade more air riders news for pretty much anything! the Sakurai direct ticked a lot of boxes

@Earl_Grey there’s a decent chance! As you say it’s been an age and the movie is out next year so would tie in

@MontyCircus gotta keep the faith! I hope it was an early version, because it was big reason I bought the console 😬

@Pillowpants faaaaaairly realistic

@MontyCircus I’m anxious about ER since the gamescom fiasco 😭

I would argue that because we’re not (yet) getting a Mario 40 solo direct that could mean there’s a 15min section devoted to it! there were rumours of a NSMB bundle plus wonder gets a s2 upgrade and why not debut the movie trailer… easy

@YunoboCo well that depends if you subscribe to the 7s rumour.

Dont hate me... literally NOTHING I will buy in September. Must be one of the few who disliked Hollowknight. Usually find there is a decent balance between either a first party release or dlc, a third party port or niche indie I'll take a look at.

Have to say its made me disappointed in the Switch 2 so far. the games I've played have been good but I was hoping to be more impressed by the first party slate and the third party support. I currently feel like were still in Switch 1 mid-late gen territory where there is a slow stream of BIG games and a tonne of rpgs, trpgs, jrpgs and sims

Glad Nintendo Life is acknowledging how BADLY they fumbled the bag on there actually being a direct 🤭

My vibe is this will be largely underwhelming…
Probably lots of DLC snippets and games from other summer showcases that to the surprise of no one are also coming to Switch (Persona3) then “saved” by the announcement of new 2D Mario.

Pretty basic overall, everything interesting was already announced and despite stating that they were presenting third party titles releasing THIS year they go on to talk a lot about games coming in 2023 :/

@Serpenterror no you’re right it’s not an out and out rpg or even a tactical rpg but it has so many similar elements to something like fire emblem in terms of squad/party, strategic engagements and a turn based combat system. my point being that most of the games I mentioned share those elements and there is very little variety

@kerplunk I was thinking the exact same thing, and that would be the most positive outcome!

Everyone saying how stacked the rest of 2022 is with first party games…. Yea but what?

Pokémon - rpg
Xenoblade 3 - action rpg
Advance wars 1+2 - tactical rpg
Mario and rabbids 2 - tactical rpg
New fire emblem game? - trpg

Soooo if you don’t like splatoon 3 good luck to you
