I’m still waiting on the elusive Persona Q2 so that should be one of the announcements.

My most anticipated 2018 title after Octopath Traveller.
'So far so good' is what I take from this.

@Fight_Teza_Fight Nope, I don't actually think that's in the cards. I'm just having fun answering the article's question

I'd love to see a new game specifically for Switch.

Or a Jak X remaster. Yeah, I said it.

I at least trust Nintendo to cut the petting crap. It's something.

I think the Direct format works perfectly fine; it gets straight to the point and saves us from potential embarrassment.

I wish they'd change two things though; 1) focusing on one big game needs to go, especially after 2018's overkill, and 2) the E3 Direct should be bigger and better than any of the Directs spread throughout the year, it shouldn't be comparable to a January mini Direct.

Well, there you go Animal Crossing fans. Lol.

Like with the pre-E3 post, I'm still with Glen. Didn't care for Smash before, won't start caring now. Besides Fire Emblem, it was 3rd parties I was counting on and, while they didn't exactly come through (with big games), it was something.

I do hope it'll be just the kids, Let's Go's target audience, who buy this game and that they get to enjoy it. However, I also wonder what it will take for the adult side of the fans, esp. those who are put off by these announcements like I am, to NOT to do the same; complaints do little if you're still paying up day 1.

That makes 2 of us. I really really want this one to happen.

Fallout 4.

But if that's too easy, I'll go with the upcoming Rage 2.

@ermzzz The only reason I want to give this game a chance is its styling/customization options, I can 100% get behind this idea

I'm gonna ignore the Bravely Default padding precedent and pretend this is akin to Persona. Sign me up!

"there’s a lot more up our sleeve and a lot more we have to show in the weeks and months ahead.”

Hope it's the market/investors that will force a game-packed Direct out cause E3 and fan demand sure didn't.

I think he's right. Whatever game's meant to come to Switch should now do so much quicker. I'm still waiting on Final Fantasy XV/XII/X and Nier: Automata @ Square Enix!

I do have my doubts though as to how many of the big post-2019 games will be coming to standard Switch since graphics get more demanding every year. Maybe it's time for Switch XL come 2020.

@Belatarr Did you skip the 3DS games altogether? If so, there is a marriage and parent system at the core of these games as of Awakening. It just so happens that we only got 1 gay and 1 lesbian marriage option out of dozens in Fates, while Awakening had none. There was also “censorship!” outcry when localization edited sexualized outfit, dropped a gay conversion therapy storyline, and completely cut a creepy petting mechanic where you got to treat the characters like nintendogs, only they made weird faces and noises. Hope that helped! Now if you didn’t skip the games and you knew all of this, that would be an obtuse take, don’t you think?

I've already said my piece regarding this mess so I'll just note that, after seeing the Deamon X Machina + Fire Emblem teasers, I know I'll be buying a Switch in 2019.

It's what she deserves.

Bad sportsmanship.

I really thought this'd be a lock for August. If it turns out as well as Woolly World, it'll be worth the wait.

@Steven_the_2nd https://twitter.com/SerebiiNet/status/1006629183857025025

so what is the truth

@Grant007 am I that memorable?
I take your comment somehow contributed to the conversation more than mine, thank you!

"or a case of bloated expectations?"
"Nintendo can't be held responsible for our overactive imaginations, or our willingness to assume that rumours are solid facts"
"Putting aside our childish sense of entitlement for one moment"

Can we for once not shift the blame back to the users? Can we maybe admit that it's Nintendo that dropped the ball? This is E3 . There's no excuse for a 30 minute showcase of one game, featuring trivial things like "Spot The Difference" between past and present character models. Enough. Please.

First they took away wild battles and 2/3 of the lineup, then they locked trading and battling behind a service, now we need an accessory for a pokemon? Let's Scam! is truly a neverending gift.

If we don't want them to make Fire Emblem a multi-version series, it's probably best we only buy 1 copy of this. A thought!.

At first I thought this would turn into a Xenoblade X sequel. I'll take this too!

@-Juice- Fair enough! As long as they do a better job than Fates at explaining it in the plot, I'm down. A post-game campaign with the children would be nice, for example.

@FTPinkRabbit Happy Pride to you too! Personally, I'd rather they completely dropped the children concept.

They really thought this deserved 30 minutes, I'm laughing

Announced in Pride month, gay supports better be included in this is all I'm saying. And PLEASE don't release 3 versions, this is not a kpop album.

that said, THIS LOOKS FANTASTIC OMG

Is the game's target audience strictly Sonic fans? You'd think they'd try to differentiate it a bit from MK8 (like the rumored Star Fox game is allegedly doing).

Of all the games announced at Bethesda's conference, this one seems the most likely to see a Switch release.

Rage 2 is what caught my eye though.

Great gowns

I agree with Glen the most. Not much from the 1st party lineup excites me bar Fire Emblem (which I think is still coming this year). I'm most looking forward to what 3rd parties bring; I too will take any JRPG or any narrative-driven game, really.

Going beyond realistic expectations, I'd love to see Atlus announce a portable P5 on Switch, and Square Enix to bring FFXII or FFXV to the system.

Watched the 1st season two days ago and loved it! Can't wait for what's next.

Don't know if next gen will absolutely be the last but I agree with him that, just like with music, film, and TV, streaming -and limited physical editions- is the future of gaming.

@Heavyarms55 “No, it absolutely should be all or nothing”.

I actually agree there. There should be no exceptions. But you also ask us to ~get over ourselves~ and accept “all” by default. Why? “Nothing” is still an option, and one every consumer would take if asked. Why should we all gladly pay for what has been free so far? No amount of NES games will ever make up for that, what gives here? Nintendo didn’t operate at a loss when online trading was free on the 3DS and they certainly wouldn’t start doing so now. And I’m pretty sure they’ve been making profit ever since Switch launched with free online. Unless they offer a package greater than what’s already in place, you are asking everyone to just hand over their money and be happy about it, which, unless you work for Nintendo, doesn’t make sense defending (to me).

Whatever fine line there is between confidence and arrogance, this guy’s long crossed it. Wow. He legit sounds like a Disney villain.

Best news I’ve read all week! I just hope not all of their upcoming games are “retro-inspired”, personally I’m over that.

I wish them an ounce of luck.

Hope it's the part where they teach you how to throw a pokeball.

How very on brand.

After that Pokémon let down, I’m now putting all my eggs in the Fire Emblem basket. We’ve heard/seen literally nothing of it, so I’m pretty confident we’ll be positively surprised.

It’s clearly Fire Emblem: Destinies split in 10 versions.

Re: Let's Go possibly becoming a series

Now my gut's really telling me "it's a trap, don't buy this"...
I'm all for making Pokemon barebones again, its depth as of now isn't fun, and some solid new features were introduced...but I'm just put off by everything else? Especially by the fact that's a "home console" game only by price. I'm not sure what I'll think of it come November but I know I don't want to regret another purchase like I did with Ultra Moon.

My dream open world Pokemon game where you battle every gym in any order is looking more distant with every milestone this game reaches.

Whether they use the system or not, I ain’t paying for Switch online, personally. Paying for what is already free + some NES games I don’t want is still the bigger scam here. Hope they’d find a way around it but I wouldn’t bet on it.

I'm just not sure Pokemon GO mechanics are the way to...go. An issue with Pokemon is that, for a game that's all about individualizing your team with whichever mon appeals to you, I'd need to spend hours upon hours upon hours min-maxing the same 6 pokemon everyone is using just so I can go online and have a chance competitively. Not battling pokemon along the way doesn't fix that. Whiping out 80% of the roster doesn't make every Pokemon more viable. If you're gonna destroy competitive altogether, at least go all out and make in-game battles real time instead of turn-based; now THAT would be a press-worthy move.

And I see why a return to Kanto would interest some. But everyone who's played Yellow on GameBoy always dreamed of a game that looks like the anime, with freedom to explore the world as they see fit. A 3DS game in HD does not a Breath Of The Wild make. Get rid of linearity and seriously polish up the graphics, that's how you bring nostalgia/the "genwunners" back. Those are the people that should be chased after, not the crowd who downloaded a free app because of hype and dropped it after 2 weeks; they're not ever buying a Switch.

Some things GameFreak did get right though. The return to Kanto, like I said, is a good move in theory. Getting rid of random encounters is already a big improvement. Pokemon following the player has been asked for for years now. It's just...go all the way, guys, it's time.

Impressive and all, I’m just still confused over the inability to evolve your starter being the one thing they kept from Yellow. They thought battling wild Pokémon needed to go but that had to stay?

Having learnt nothing from the Ultra Sun/Moon scam, I'm still gonna get Eevee.

But still. 2 $60 versions of a game with a 3DS overworld, 4/5 of the pokemon lineup missing, GO mechanics, and no wild pokemon battles; that's brave even for them.

I’ll take Let’s Go for now, just don’t drop the ball on this one...

Let’s Go Eeeve it is for me. I even bought Ultra Moon, I won’t pretend I have standards.

But even as someone who was defending this when it was a rumor, and I knew this would be a glorified 3DS game, I’m still let down a little. Deep down I expected more. The GO integration makes this 2 years too late.

But random encounters are finally gone, hello! Let’s celebrate that!
