Yeah, I thought they were finally bringing bringing RE7. But then I remembered who we're dealing with here, and then I saw REmake.
Still feels weird. The implication is that Capcom said "give us this many minutes for our old wank during the direct or we won't bother with Monster Hunter". Doesn't feel like something Nintendo would agree to, nor something that would be the most beneficial to Capcom. I think it would make more sense for them to have Nintendo co-fund the project or the advertising for MH.
Mario Maker is absolutely worth it if you have any passing interest in 2D Mario. Splatoon was fun. Smash dragged a bit because of the format.
I'm still astounded at Nintendo's transformation. They went from a completely tone deaf company in the WiiU era to one that really listens to the fans and give them what they want .
I think that's reading things the wrong way around. Something like "Oh, you're going to give us a huge game like Monster Hunter, Capcom? That's awesome! Are you bringing anything else in the meantime? RE 5+6? We can give you a good trailer for that in our E3 Direct, it's on us!"
Maybe a bit cringy way to put it on my part, but it's quite unlikely that the promotion for RE 5+6 was a conditio sine qua non for the big game(s) coming to Switch.
Yeah, I agree, which is why I think it's disproportionate for Nintendo to give them the time they did. Prominent spots in a sizzle reel, sure. A live action segment that goes on for minutes, hell no.
The demo of daemon x machina sucked ass, but the treehouse segment somehow gave me hope that it could be a solid 6 or 7.
I was gonna make a thread but I'll just post here. Anyone find Town's complete absence baffling?
I'm honestly absolutely baffled, Pokemon sword and shield looks legit bad, uninspired and too similiar. Yet I feel these games don't get the scrutiny every other game gets, we have threads breaking down how a game is garbage because the main characters hair is too dithered, yet there is nothing they are doing in this that seems at all redeemable and yet people are hyped.
I'd be fine if it was not the highest grossing franchise of all time, but its inexcusable at this point. I love love Pokemon, it just bums me out that we are still stuck in the same formula.
Same sounds, same transitions and cameras, same type of formula, graphically/artistically very uninspired, animation very unappealing. I was just hoping for the Breath of the Wild pokemon moment...
I feel like I'm crazy for not being happy with it.

It's a matter of personal opinion, I think. A 2.5 minute trailer for those games on its own is wildly disproportionate, but if it was made as a "thank you" announcement for Capcom bringing an exclusive Monster Hunter or whatnot to Switch, then I consider it proportionate. Doesn't really matter until we know if anything comes from it, since it's all speculation at this point.
The fact that the biggest controversy surrounding SwSh is because of the national dex should maybe give you an indication that the most vocal parts of this fanbase care about vastly different things than this.
People thought the February Direct was gold, but hoo boy do I feel that the September Direct is gonna be one for the ages. That's gonna be nothing but 1st party 2020 and Animal Crossing, maybe Link's Awakening.
It's been a long time since a Direct got me this hyped. Weird Capcom moment and Animal Crossing delay aside, it was a non-stop barrage of games, full of surprises, crow servings and the two last MEGATONS closing the event. And the Treehouse streaming was delightful.
Nintendo is killing it this year.

A lot of the highest grossing IP these days aren't AAA, thrive off simplicity, and clearly communicate what they are. Pokemon is one of those IP's so if you're looking for some drastic changes then you're chasing a high that you will never catch.
Speak for yourself.....I didn't see F-Zero, Excite Truck 2, No exclusive FPS. I saw s direct, that was for RPG fans,
It's not about what you and I want, but what the majority of fans wanted.
It's not the best thing for me, but I do agree with this, was a great direct. September direct (or when ever) is going to be great, hopefully presenting a bigger release for Q1 2020 so we dont get Animal Crossing alone. However I do think BotW 2 is the big holiday title for 2020 even if not confirmed. I believe Zell said 3D Zelda for 2020 was a thing. And I trust him on that.
So at the very least though, would good visuals, sound and animation ruin that in anyway? Even at the most basic of levels?
Just cannot understand how they seemingly get a free pass, where if it was any other title there would be a petition by now for them to fix it.
And my apologies if I sound like I'm descrediting peoples happiness, I guess I'm legitimately etly trying to understand.
I'm gonna bet that it's gonna show up in the September direct, when people need to renew their subscription.. It makes too much sense :P
For some reason I hadn't considered that but I reckon you're spot on.
Eurgh the lack of virtual console didn't used to bother me personally; there's already too many current games than I've got time for. But this drip feed of NES games I never play is becoming frustrating when they have such an unbelievable library.
Yep, this sums up my thoughts exactly! Good job.
2019 certainly delivers "something for everyone" and that's a great thing, but I can't help feeling Nintendo have dropped the ball. It seems they dropped the ball largely from delays and cancellations, which isn't entirely their fault (if at all), but yea... 2019 is 2018 all over again - not for everyone, I concede there are plenty of games, but certainly for me there's a lot here I really don't think I'll buy. Maybe that's just my problem!
Retro have let the side down massively though. If we had a Star Fox, a Donkey Kong or a Metroid title lined up in 2019 then the outlook would have been dramatically more positive, for me at least.
I think you are crazy for not being happy - I can see why you're not though. When they announced they were working on something other than Let's Go they specifically said it would be a more back to roots pokemon adventure. I don't understand why so many people expected a BOTW moment, it was never meant to be coming.

Yea you're right, I'm pretty sure I remember them calling it, "Pokemon Next" or something of the like, so maybe I spun it out of control in my head.
Just really want a reason to get back into pokemon, but I grew old of the same formula. Oh well, just something I have to accept!
This direct was real fun though, super hyped for Banjo.
Have you ever played a Pokemon game before?
Edit: never mind I guess answered above.
Does anyone else find it odd that the Direct had two Netflix games shown in it but Netflix keeps refusing to make a Switch app?
Is this the place to complain about the lack of Retro and Pikmin for yet another year?
Are Retro just flushing years of work down the toilet and focusing on Prime 4?
And where's my god damn Pikmin 3 port you cowards!?

You know, Nintendo aim to make money out of the games they release.
I am afraid that we might get a comparatively weak September Direct since they already got Animal Crossing for March and teased the next 3D Zelda. Plus, it would be the fourth good Direct in a row and we all know that good things don't last. :p I wouldn't be surprised if they focus on remasters/ports like Metroid Prime Trilogy and Pikmin 3 as far as first-party announcements go.
On their Youtube channel, they marked many of their Treehouse gameplay vids as "part 1" it's safe to say that Day 2 will feature more of the same games in addition to unseen games like Fire Emblem. They also said that Day 3 will mostly focus on indies in the Direct btw
2019 is the year of the directs of dream, it won't stop ! (But it's true that the september 2018 was already awesome)
I wouldn't be surprised if a MPT trilogy announcement would come with the Metroid 5 reveal. I feel this would be a good reveal for a september direct.
I mean RE6 seems to be the most popular game in the franchise going by its sales so i can understand the focus on that game, even though i agree it's not what i want from RE.
I didn't know that. Makes more sense indeed, yes. I just felt super blue-balled as I expected as least RE7 or Revelation 3 to be, hum, revealed.
Yeah, I spotted some of the "part 1" sections on YouTube just now. Good to know they're giving the indies a lot of attention on day 3. It's seemed kind of light on that before.
Also action game fans with Astral Chain, Demon X, Contra (looked like ass but still), No More Heroes 3, Panzer Dragoon
RE6 has the highest sales? More than RE4 in all its incarnations?
On Amazon Germany a placeholder listing for a Banjo-Kazooie (working title) on Switch popped up. Probably a mistake, but here you go:
Funny that it's already sitting at 16th position in the sales charts.

This is exactly the place.
WHERE IS MY PIKMIN 4!
They are gonna start with Fire Emblem and there are going to be other games than today as well as probably safe to say some of the same.
Indeed. RE4 didn't really start well on the GC obviously and also failed to gain traction even on PS2. 5/6 were hot from the off on 360/PS3 and the subsequent ports have also been well worth it for Capcom.
Yeah would have loved RE7, it's a fantastc game.
Ok seems like RE5 is the best selling entry but RE6 is very close.
