If there are 2 WiiU ports in the direct, quite certain Pikmin 3 is one of them (and I'll probably buy it).

What the other one would be... well the ones I would be most interested in are TMS and Fatal Frame V, but I doubt it is either. Personally not interested in ports of 3D world, W101 (sorry!), or XBX (unless the game is changed in significant ways). If it is one of those three that's fine by me, I'm just not personally interested.

2018 was the year of hating wii u ports.

we've come full circle I guess

2018 was the year of all the lame, boring, not-critically-acclaimed, bomba Wii U ports like Mario Kart DX and NSMBU DX.

2019 is all about the genuine GOTY contenders, the 95+ Metacritic masterpieces, the ten million sellers. Like The Wonderful 101.

What if Miyamoto appears to announce the Pikmin 3 port + a teaser of Pikmin 4? Besides, it's been a while since he appeared on a Direct. The Grand Papa.

Wii U ports that I want:

Xenoblade Chronicles X
Paper Mario: Color Splash
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE
The Wind Waker HD
Twilight Princess HD

Wii U ports that I suspect I'll get instead:
Super Mario 3D World
Pikmin 3

I won't mind those, to be fair. It's just that I recently played 3D World for the first time so it's still rather fresh on my mind.

*Extremely Nintendo Direct Narrator Voice*: Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town launches on the Nintendo Switch on October 17th.
I would be perfectly happy with the Direct if this happens! I want this game to come out soon so badly!
If I had to choose based on my interests, then probably 3D World and Pikmin 3.

I think Pikmin 3 is an almost perfect game, and 3D World is basically made for multiplayer (perfect for joy-cons)

Also, don't lose hope for a port of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. Nintendo and Atlus have been listening...
Yes this means that Mario 3D World has a great chance tomorrow!

And YES PLEASE TMS! Please Nintendo and Atlus!

Also please either add a dub or put subtitles during the battle phase cause I want to understand what they're saying there!

I actually expect almost exactly this to happen (not necessarily Miyamoto though it's possible, but definitely Pikmin 3 port + Pikmin 4 teaser)

Yea adding a dub would be a good move for increasing the sales

  • Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was 2017. And also the best-selling game on the Switch.
  • NSMBUDX is a 2019 game.
None of those are 2018 Wii U ports, lol. Besides, Tropical Freeze was ported in 2018, which makes this extra wrong.

Would Pikmin 3 be completely playable with a pro controller on TV? Can't remember how much it expects a touchscreen. I actually wasn't a huge fan of the micro management between teams using the touchscreen, and the dull collectibles compared, but overall I still think it was a step up from 1&2 if you included all the DLC

The only Wii U game I didnt play that I want to play at some point is Paper Mario.. so I would welcome that. The others I''ve played to death already. But if we're really in 2 Wii U ports and a new Kirby game territory my hopes for a good direct (in my personal opinion ofc) lies with possible third party showings.

This makes me very happy. The Wii U version had some long load times. With that all smoothed out and some new content this game could be even better.

3D World in December would be a very pleasant surprise and probably send Switch into the heavens for sales numbers.

I feel like TMS#FE will be announced for January alongside a look at SMTV. Makes too much sense. Pikmin 3 is too heavily rumoured not to be announced, and will contain a Pikmin 4 tease. Both set for Q1 2020.

Also, Retro's 3rd 2D Donkey Kong, with new Crash-Bandicoot-Style 3D levels and segments. Revealed and set to release next spring.

And yet nobody wants to correct the part about The Wonderful 101 being a 95+ Metacritic, 10 million selling masterpiece? Diplomacy has succeeded.

It really is frustrating for the fans that Nintendo still doesn't understand why people love their products. I can't believe they prioritize games built on a factory line like NSMBU DX or Tropical Freeze over those with true artistic merit like TMS #FE.

I've bought every Wii U port except for Toad (Toad was a gift lol) even though I owned them on the Wii U lol.

You bet that I will continue to buy them (except for Pikmin 3).

Yeah, I have too (including Captain Toad). On the fence with Pikmin 3 though; I want to replace my Wii U collection as much as possible, but I feel like I got enough out of that game already.

So what do we know for sure?

• SNK character for Smash reveal
• Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Assassin's Creed: Rogue ports
• Overwatch with snazzy case

Is that all?

For ports I picked up MK8, Tropical Freeze, and Captain Toad on Switch.

I did play NSMBU, Pokken, Hyrule Warriors, and Bayonetta 2 back on the Wii U though!

I just never had much love for Pikmin so I feel really bad for not being nearly as excited for that port. But yeah I want to replace my Wii U collection with their Switch counterparts.
Switch ports for Pikmin 3 and 3D World are a question of when - not if.
I just hope 3D World's announcement is super close instead of further out.

Emily do you know anything about the collaboration between Nintendo and Bandai Namco? Obviously Metroid Prime 4 was reported as a collaborative effort before it was rebooted, and Smash Ultimate was co-developed by Sora and Namco's Tokyo studios, but Ridge Racer 8 was rumoured too. Do you know if there was every any truth to that?
