Throw in Wolfenstein Youngblood and Doom Eternal and I can't believe how many Switch games I will buy this year alone.
From the Durect, there are three games I don't want to play. Just three. Out of like, 20 lol.
I agree. Wave Race, 1080 and Excite need to be revived asap. And yes, Nintendo also add a skateboarding game to their extreme sports lineup. Activision and EA no longer care, so it's up to Nintendo to revive genre.
Lets wait for the September direct. The hilarious part about this E3 Direct is Nintendo only announced one new first party IP being Botw 2. They did the same last year with Mario Party.
Their general Directs they're announcing 2-3 new first party IP's though.
The majority of fans wanted Dragon Quest, and the other RPGs. What happen happen to Nintendo of America, seems like NOJ handcuffed them to the conference table. I guess they are the western third-party support team.
Most people will interpret that sentence as actual new IP. You mean new games, right?
I expect their September direct to be Microsoft show with Ori, Halo and potential Banjo HD ports but yes, there should be Q1 2020 first party games too. Expecting Wave Race there is not realistic thing to do but I'll wait for it anyway.
Do we know who's handling the rearrangements? Whoever it is, I'm glad they're not shying away from having some electronic bleeps and bloops every now and then to give that Game Boy feeling .
I'm loving everything about this remake right now, and that's despite me thinking the original game being good enough not to ever need a remake in the first place. I hope tons of Zelda noobs will realize Link's Awakening's greatness thanks to this!
Even MP4 will be called "Metroid Prime Rib."
The September Direct will definatly be the start of their 2020 marketing campaign... Just like last year's was for 2019. At this time last year, we only knew about Yoshi and Fire Emblem. I imagine we'll start seeing more Switch-games sequels, too.
Perhaps it can be seen as an explanation to why you don't get what you want?
That's exactly why they should release Prime Trilogy right now.
I want what I want, explaining why I can't get what I want, makes gaming less appealing than it ever has before.
Is the F in F-Zero a four letter word?
September 2017 focused on four different games (4 minutes on Pokémon, 8 minutes on XBC2, 4 minutes on Octopath Traveler, 7 minutes on SMO), and had plenty of other announcements as well.
You're right! But it was marketed as Direct to get the latest news about SMO if I'm not wrong, I think we'll see something similar this year.
They used this announcement:
This is similar to how they worded the February 2019 Direct, actually:Nintendo said:
As we know, that direct didn't have such a huge focus on Fire Emblem (5-6 minutes) and the major announcements were actually SMM2, Link's Awakening and Astral Chain (I find it a big announcement!). Luigi's Mansion is more on the level of Fire Emblem than of SMO, so I expect it to go the February 2019 route rather than the September 2017 route.
Yes, that's what I meant, a Direct to give us the final details on Luigi's Mansion plus new announcements.
I gotta say for a YouTube game journalist him and his group are pretty damn clueless. Like try watching their reaction to the Xbox briefing. Hilariously misinformed about almost everything and their hot takes are the worst.
They seem to only care about a very small amount of games/genres and disregard everything else as "filler" and nonsense like that. I just find it funny how people like to shit on ign or kotaku but then listen to these guys who have no idea what they are reporting on.
It's absolutely Ryo Nagamatsu. He composed both A Link Between Worlds and Triforce Heroes. His violins are unmistakable. Seems to be Nintendo's go-to guy for top-down Zelda.
I was talking about it on Tuesday. It certainly is going for a small and cute feel musically. You can hear this with the way the instruments were recorded/mixed and the way the arrangements are crafted. For example, instead of a massive orchestra of strings, brass, percussion, etc. all playing at once, it seems like they've gone for smaller, almost chamber like arrangements. Not a lot of reverb is used as well. Could be due to the space the instruments were recorded in (for the organic instruments), but it's also certainly a stylistic choice in the mixing stage by the mixing engineer. Even the synthetic elements don't have a lot of reverb. It's very interesting.
I was originally not fully on board with what we heard when the game was first revealed but damn I think it's sounding great from what we've heard at E3. I love the way the overworld theme is sounding. The intro music while you go find your sword is great. The dungeon music also sounds nice. If I'm remembering correctly, Link's Awakening's dungeons all have unique themes. So that will be really cool to discover as we go through them.
BOTW gets delayed three times so here's Windwaker HD and Twilight Princess HD to hold you over until then.
Nintendo fucks over Metroid Prime 4 and restarts development. Sorry, nothing for you Metroid fans lol
Like seriously? 2D Metroid is happening but they won't reveal it. MPT is ready and they won't reveal it. It's ridiculous
I don't think that's true of Luigi - Nintendo seem to be gearing up to treat it as a major release. It was the only title in the E3 Direct to get a detailed look rather than a 60 to 90 second trailer. On top of that, I've read some comments in Luigi's Mansion 3 previews which suggest Nintendo expect this to be a major seller. Fire Emblem games sell 500k to 2 million copies, whereas Luigi's Mansion 2 sold 6 million copies. Without Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion 3 is Nintendo's biggest end of year release after Pokemon. It's going to get a big push.
As much as I'd like to see Prime Trilogy HD soon, the release schedule is already busy and there may well be a 2D Metroid in the works for 2020. We had Samus Returns in 2017, too. And, to put it bluntly, Metroid is commercially much smaller than Zelda. Zelda has traditionally sold in the 3 to 8 million range, with Breath of the Wild the obvious outlier. Metroid sometimes struggles to break the million mark.
The last Fire Emblem sold 2.84M, the one before that 2.24M Fire Emblem has become much bigger, and FE3H could potentially do 4M imo. Of course, Luigi's Mansion did 3M on GC, and the 3DS entry did 5.75M, so that's really good. I do expect this one to be even bigger, potentially 7-10M. That clearly makes it bigger than Fire Emblem, but it puts it shy of Odyssey by a good margin, and furthermore the ability of 3D Mario to pull in new audiences is much bigger imo. I wouldn't at all disregard the possiblity of it getting a dedicated section in the September Direct - it's basically guaranteed. How long will it be? It depends on the features they have yet to unveil, but I feel like they have unveiled a ton about the game already, so I don't think it will be an 8 minute exposé or anything. But yeah, the discussion drifted a bit, since I originally interpreted the comment as the game (and SMO) having a major share of the Direct whereas the indicated intent was just to say that it will have a dedicated section, which I agree with.
My comment regarding LM3 being more like FE3H than SMO is just that: it skirts the line that is the middle of the two, but comes down just to the FE side because the overall hardware selling potential of LM3 is much lower imo than SMO. It'll still be a big game, and 7M+ is very likely imo.
We didn't see Town at all.
Also with Retro...sadly they didn't show up. I was wonder Imran said they pitched a demo to Nintendo to develop Metroid Prime 4. I'm assuming they did this last year. So what was Retro doing before that? Were they just struggling with a game?
And what would've happened if Metroid Prime 4 DIDN'T have any issues? What if development went great? That means Retro would've never made a pitch. So what does that mean they would've been doing right now? Something doesn't feel right.

This was Nintendo's best E3 since 2014. Hands down. Banjo Kazooie and Botw 2 back to back might be the best reveals in Nintendo history.
For me, E3 2014 was pretty lame, aside from the Zelda teaser. This one blows it out of the water IHMO.
I think we almost all agreed that if Retro had a game, it wouldn't had release in 2019.
The only post 2019 game they announced is BOTW 2. They could had announced other 2020 games if they wanted to, they decided to stick to BOTW 2 (and to reveal AC a now 2020 game)
I still have some hope. Won't be mad if nothing never happen, but I won't be surprised if their game gets revealed at TGA or the january 2020 direct.
I know so far all their brand new game got revealed at E3, but it's not a rule set in stone.
It is even better imo. The sheer amount of amazing looking games was off the charts.
Wallet is weeping.
I'm surprised by AC's delay. While I am absolutely not trying to throw any shade on the game's intrinsic qualities, what we know from it and what we've seen from the upcoming game doesn't strike me as particularly ambitious from a technical point of view (which, from my understanding, is the usual reason for a game to be delayed).
I'll take a go at this :D
2020:
SPRING- Animal Crossing
SPRING - Pokémon Snap 2 (Labo VR Compatible)
SUMMER - Mario Strikers
FALL - Reimagining of Dillon's Rolling Western (Open-world action adventure)
WINTER - Bayonetta 3
WINTER - Super Mario Galaxy 3
2021:
SPRING - WarioTaxi (WarioWare x Crazy Taxi)
SPRING - Kid Icarus Uprising HD
SUMMER - Breath of the Wild 2
FALL - Pikmin 4
FALL - Super Mario Party 2
WINTER - Metroid Prime 4
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn Nintendo, why haven't you done that yet???
I suspect it's a human resources issue since the team is effectively split between Splatoon and Animal Crossing. I wouldn't be surprised if early work on the next Splatoon game, whether it's Splatoon 3 or some kind of spin off, diverted enough staff to make a delay necessary.
2020
Spring- animal crossin
Summer- Botw 2
Winter- Super Mario odyssey 2
I think botw2 is a holiday 2020 title. Zelda development basically wrapped up end 2016. 4 years is more than enough time to get the sequel ready which uses the same engine and gameplay style. They are even reusing the same map (probably with a lot of changes of course).
WarioWare
Bayonetta 3
Metroid 2D
Pikmin 4
All seem likely releases for 2020.
I think the one of the Splatoon, Mario Kart or Mario teams might have something to release. We're also due for a Rhythm Heaven or Paper Mario Sequel. Mario and Luigi could be a thing too. Then there's also the new Monolith IP, although that could slip to 2021 if its ambitious. There's also the Ubisoft collaboration and 2020 should see the release of a Octopath Traveler sequel. The 2020 lineup has lots of potential.

If it took 4 years for the next Zelda and they recycle the map, even part of the map, I will be extremely pissed. The main reason I love BOTW was the beautiful map to discover; once you remove this aspect, the game's flaws are much more apparent.
Nintendo and Aonuma are smart enough to avoid recycling the map. I hope...

Getting pissed over a game, oh no.
Might as well get pissed now and get it over with then.
Its funny cuz i rmr when this game was annouced some fans panicked thinking itll be baby like music. Now suddenly im reading constantly how good the music sounds
Although im not surprised,i find zelda fans are particular panic way too quickly on things(like the famous "no towns in BOtW" or now some persons assuming BOTW 2 will have the same hyrule with minimal changes)
BOTW 2 (if it does come out in 2020) has to be a Holiday title, not that predicting Nintendo's decisions ever works, but it seems likely they'll want something big to contend with the PS5/Project Scarlett
Don't forget the DLC (not sure how much of the team worked on it), so 3-3 1/2 years development seems more likely
I think they might also be saving a big new game or third party port for when they announce the revisions. Right now all they have for October, November and December is Doom Eternal and Pokemon.
At the very least, Q1 will not be empty next year. Animal Crossing, Gods & Monster and Trials of Mana are basically already confirmed for Q1.
