Maybe Furukawa received a calling card and that's why the direct hasn't happened.Hopefully someone in the room during the meeting is a Persona 5 fan and asks them about it.
Nah I think this MP4 stuff was relatively recent. They probably didn't make this decision until October at the earliest. It would explain why people thought the Game Awards (or December in general) would have Metroid stuff, if they planned to show this there up until only a couple months in advance.
This explains all of that stuff too well for me to think the MP4 decision was made much earlier in 2018.
It is way too minor of an announcement to bother placing in a Direct. Nintendo has much bigger things to address and show in a Direct to waste time on Darksiders -- even though the game is great.I think the Darksiders announcement could be part of the incoming Direct with a shadow-drop of the title on the eShop. We are near to the Direct, guys, I'm confident (and honestly I'm happy it isn't this Thursday/Friday in the night, I would have skipped it). Just 1-2 weeks more.

The decision may have been recent (though October is 3 months ago already). But I doubt that Nintendo discovered the development issues in October only. If so, that would be a case of extremely poor management. My guess is that they've probably been trying everything to salvage the game before deciding to reboot it, and that must have taken months at the very least.
Building on this, I have a pet theory that the plan was to power through the development problems up until the point that Retro essentially said "bring me on, skip" with that rumoured demo, and that's what tipped the decision to a reboot.
Doest Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 fit for a Game Awards audience? I feel like that's an easy decision to show that there. We're talking about a Marvel game and it's exclusive to Switch. That a big deal you want the gaming community to see.

You even posted in it.
Not announcing Retro's next game soon would be a missed opportunity in my opinion. While everyone was legitimately bummed by MP4's reboot, one of the few good thing is that it probably reassured the doubter of the studio (among which I was, and still am to some extent). Showing a soon to release game, hopefully impressive, would really be nice in terms of timing.
On a different note, it kinda sucks that the Bamco thing didn't work out. If it did, Retro would be working on a different game than MP4, possibly a new IP. All in all, we still "lost" a game in all that.
Retro's games have always been announced at E3, right? I don't see why it should be any different this time, even with the prime news.
.
I think Retro's game could still be announced prior to E3. Things change and it feels like a good time to do it before E3, especially depending on its release date.Keep in mind in that same thread Schreier said he hadn't heard about the trilogy directly, and isn't sure about the timing either. So that rumor should be taken with a grain of salt, that it's either done or being sat on.

Nintendo has enough slated for this year that if they tease Pokemon and Animal Crossing as H2 games in April/May directs, they could coast on that until E3, and then just announce the rest of the big names...Retro, Platinum, 2d zelda, etc...
Also, I think it would actually be pretty cool if they could manage to salvage Bamco prime 4 and convert it into a new IP/shooter. I don't think it would hurt to add a mediocre shooter to the switch's lineup, it's sunk cost right now.

Everytime I read something like "Nintendo has always [insert pattern]", things happen differently. I would at the very least not be surprised in Retro's game is shown before E3.
All rumors should be taken with a grain of salt. He was asking for the source of the rumor, so I gave it to him.
That proves the point that Retro's games don't have to be announced at E3.All Retro games are announced at E3
Except for Metroid Prime 4 which was announced in some random Youtube video
Japan got that game earlier.Furukawa- "Yes I loved Persona 5 too. It was my GOTY for 2017 beating Zelda Botw and Mario Odyssey".

Eh. I'll give you majority credit.But Prime 4 was announced at E3 so therefore all Retro games are E3 games ...🤔
They would have had to make the decision of whether or not to include gameplay by the end of November, which would have given them about a month of development after the game went gold, so yeah Joker would probably have been too early. Still, an extra 2ish months is probably enough time to develop it far enough to show.
This assumes that they didn't do any work on the DLC until the game went gold, instead of the far more likely idea that they started moving the teams over once the game was content complete but before QA was finished.
This is a sad day. What a great time for Nintendo.So, today is the last day of the Wii Shop Channel
Good night, sweet prince. You were too pure for this cruel world.
Well, Smash had about 9 OTs before release, And the second OT was moved to hangouts a few weeks after release. It hasn't made it to 26 pages yet.

Thank the ERA gods!
I suggested in the last Nintendo 1st Party thread we have a General Direct thread that locks and unlocks once the hype cycle starts so everything can be contained in a singular place.
The mailboxes might just as well indicate just the rooms and not the lowest section of the building. It's an interesting theory but I'd go for the Hotel for now.The lowest building has like 4-5 floors, which lines up with the front desk of the lobby having 5 floors worth of mail slots.
But yeah I guess you could call the whole thing a hotel? I just think each mansion/section will have completely different themes. Hotel theme, castle theme, office theme, diner theme, finale.

Thoughts on some smaller series:
Style Savvy: Probably next year after Animal Crossing. Would put it about 3 years after the last title.
Fossil Fighters: Dead. 3DS tanked, even compared to first games.
BoxBoy: Seemingly done. 3 games is a pretty good run for a series like this.
Nintendogs: Can't imagine they would.
Steel Diver: Probably dead; Vitei was complaining Nintendo didn't want smaller titles iirc and their site makes it seem like they're focused on VR games now.
Brain Age: Dead? Dead.
Tomodachi Life/Miitopia: Tricky, but probably will come back in some form 2020 or later.
Band Brothers: Dead
Fatal Frame: Don't see why it wouldn't continue, but also not super hopeful for an announcement any time soon.
Art Academy: Dead (I think the dev disbanded too?)
Chibi Robo: Dev doesn't seem healthy, doubt they can handle even an eShop game and it's not like Zip Lash was a sales monster.
Dillion: I would say dead, but I feel like they'll give it one more shot for some reason.
NES Remix: Can't see it continuing with NSO games.
Mini DK Vs Mario: If NST is busy working on ports (Toad, SMM3D) I can't imagine they'll keep this mediocre series going too.
all I need is 3d world, but I keep thinking about the placement of 2D Mario and the obvious odyssey sequel.
Brain Age: Not dead. Absolutely will resurface on Switch. Massive series.
Dillon: HOW DARE YOU SAY DEAD! DILLON IS THE BOMB! Dillon will get BOTW Treatment and be GOTY, releasing 2020.
Man, aside from those, I would love to see a Pikmin 3 Deluxe port this year. If there is one game that deserves another shot, Pikmin 3 is it.Blink if we're getting TP/WW HD
Tell me you love if we're getting a port of Majora's Mask.
I think that's one of the couple likely ports left.Man, aside from those, I would love to see a Pikmin 3 Deluxe port this year. If there is one game that deserves another shot, Pikmin 3 is it.
What's going on at EPD? It makes Nintendo look like they got so few games with EPD. There's so many teams there. Where are the games at from them??It's really crazy that we don't know what 7/10 EPD teams are currently working on. And just 3 of them released games last year.
