After spending two hours seeing a presentation where no games where shown, I'm happy to be here talking about tomorrow's 30min 100% games Nindies Direct. :D

Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT|

Lol yeah that was alright. Imagine if Nintendo or Sony or MS had that presentation.
So the Nintendo Tweet about Nook regarding Tax Returns...
April 15th is Tax Day in the US
April 15th also happens to be Reggie's last day at Nintendo.
Animal Crossing Switch news feat. Reggie on April 15th? (or am I just boo boo the fool)

I was thinking this too- especially since some people on here mentioned a general direct usually precedes or follows an indie direct by 2 weeks. 2 weeks doesn't put us on April 15th but they may not want to drop news on Reggie's Actual Last Day haha.
Makes sense. It would be great to see Reggie presenting a Direct as a farewell
/Mother 3 showing on the screan
/Reggie drops the mic and walks away
I also personally don't care too much about Halo (I would prefer more Forza Horizon),
but I know having something like Halo Collection on Switch would be huge deal for platform and that would effect on other potential projects for Switch.
Final Fantasy is much smaller deal compared to Halo on Switch, Halo is biggest and most famous Microsoft/Xbox 1st party game, while Final Fantasy is game from multiplatform developer.
Something similar goes for potential GTA V for Switch, also game that I personally dont care about, but again I know that handheld GTA V would be huge deal and that would be great for Switch platform.
Over 50% of Switch owners also own a PS4.
Over 50% = most That's all there is to it and it's not even factoring Xbox One. 40% owners own Switch + Xbox One, so how many own Switch + Either PS4 or Xbox One? Probably at least 60 and that's kind of generous with the PS4/Xbox One crossover
Yes, that would be great and somehow it would make more sense then to say goodbye through a short video on their social media channels.
It would be SO nice if they would end the Direct with Reggie saying "and before I leave, I wanna introduce all of you to one more world...for the Nintendo Switch" and then we see a Teaser for Zangeki no Reginleiv 2.
Nate. Please tell me Animal Crossing Switch will be fully revealed in the Nindies Presentation tomorrow!
A game specific one maybe. But I'm not expecting a "full Direct" until E3.
Pizza isn't good for you. Try something healthier.
i say this as I just went and bought some lol

Like others said: yes.
We had one 2017 and they need to cover Mario Maker soon.
My guess would be in the first half of April.
Talk about disappointing, where's Mario 128 and Kingdom Hearts 4?
Witcher 6 will release first.
Half-Life 4get About It will be announced.
Mario 128 Maker and Kingdom Hearts 4Eva will be at E3.
If there are plans for no more heroes remaste it would be announced in nindies right? Thats what i'm hoping for.
I doubt it, I think it'll be a Bayonetta situation when NMH 3 is properly announced (outside of a post credits scene)
I'm very hyped for the Nindies showcase tomorrow, hoping this is followed up with a third party focused Direct soon!
I really want Mother 3 to be his final "One more thing". It just feels right.
I still expect Plants v Zombies Garden Warfare 2 to turn up on Switch at some point, isn't it getting new DLC?
I bet you didn't know about the Master Chef Collection with Gordon Ramsey & Cooking Mama for Switch that will premiere tomorrow!
This could go on for a long time, haha. I guess we should end it before we spam the thread.
Yeah back on topic, need to see some Untitled Goose Game tomorrow. Also there's a few Microsoft exclusive indies coming this year, hopefully this new camaraderie will warrant some ports. Sable and Void Bastards in particular.
Microsoft exclusive indies would feel weird to show up here.
Why do you need to see some Goose Game tomorrow, when so much material about the game has been posted today?
Definitely. Hopefully Nintendo sneaks in a Direct hosted by Reggie before April 15th to let him have one last ride, though. It's been a long time since he last hosted a Direct, but I have hope!
Yeah, Nintendo considers Grasshopper an indie for some reason.
True, wishful thinking I guess.
I... did not know that, GDC just kind of blew right past me. Well at least I'm sated on that front, thank you.
The thing with MS is, I would want a GRANDER stage to talk about and show off what they have coming to Switch. It should be part of a larger presentation. I want Phil there. I want him and Bowser to talk about their partnership. Then I want him to say "Ori is coming to Switch".
These type of things feel to big to be in a Nindies showcase.

I'm sure Nintendo agrees. If Ori, Cuphead, or both are announced tomorrow, then people would speculate about other potential Xbox games on Switch instead of talking about all the cool indie games that were shown off. Nintendo wants you talking about the indies. That's why they bother to do Nindies Showcases to begin with.
Yep I agree. I never think it's fair to smaller devs by showing Smash or announcing games like Cuphead or Ori are coming to Switch in a Nindies Presentation. Let these guys get their time and day. Nintendo created "Nindies Showcase" for them.
Announcing whatever Microsoft is coming to Switch can come any other day. There are plenty of opportunities...and a big one in June...
