Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT|

Park Patrol did ok in Japan, then NOA brought it to the US as a Walmart freebie or whatever. The series never really had a chance to prove itself.
Right, but Nintendo does seem to work closely with third parties on announcements. I mean, most of the bigger third party announcements have been in Directs, right? And there would be a ton more eyes on a Direct than this panel today. I'm guessing Nintendo would not want to overshadow this indie presentation and they would work with Epic to delay any announcement until the next Direct. Sure, Epic can do what they want, but to me it would make sense to hold any annoucement (if there even is one) until a Direct where millions will be watching.
Chibi Robo never had a chance. It deserves one more chance on Switch going back to its roots.
I agree. But I think Nintendo and MS will be happy if the series continues to maintain the sales that XC2 got for every new Xenoblade game. The budget for these games is, according to Takahashi, nowhere near the level of AAA games.
I'm excited to see the new IP and what people's reactions to it will be like. It has the potential to become MS's signature IP—I have a gut feeling it will be the next "Splatoon" for Nintendo in terms of popularity and sales.
These are exciting times for Monolith Soft and their fans! :D
Oh yeah I'm not doubting Xenoblade or saying it should change. They should keep doing with what they do with Xenoblade. It works great for me.
The new IP should offer something different. It gives Monolith more variety and a bigger name in the industry, especially if the new IP turns out great. I do agree this new IP I think will be the signature IP for their studio.
Epic doesn't really do announcements here. it's a "State of Unreal" presentation. the closest we got was "Totally Not Borderlands 3", but that was also a technical presentation
Nah it was hinted last year I think, it certainly was a nice reveal but not a major surprise.
Great lineup and lots of cool stuff on the horizon, but I'm super bummed we didn't even get a release date for Slay the Spire--it's been my most anticipated game since it was announced last August.
It's only March and I feel like I've bought 20 indies this year. Crazy.
They rarely go over games that have been previously shown in these events. Usually if something already announced gets a release date it's simply announced on Twitter.
EDIT: Sorry, meant to edit that in. Site is being slow.
By the way, Microsoft got mentioned on the Nintendo Direct (~1:45), and they are thanking back in its today's blog post:

While this still only regarding Cuphead... Is it happening, right? 🤔

Man, it does sound like they're bringing Xbox Live just for Cuphead. I don't want to get my hopes up... Screw it, my hopes are all time high!
We need a confirmation from King Zell that Cuphead isn't that "Mario on PlayStation" game. It shouldn't be, Jeuxvideo rumor came true and they also found out that one of Halo, Forza or Gears is coming.
After they opened with Cuphead I kept thinking "how are you going to open with that one? what could you possibly close this with after dropping something like that?"
And then Link and Zelda showed up and that explains that.
What a showcase though, a lot of the games looked interesting (especially Creature in the Well, that one's got my attention). Blaster Master Sequel, new Double Fine game, there were some really good announcements in this one.

Seriously chill out lol. We know the "Mario on PlayStation" is coming
While Microsoft's wording kills some hope (it sounds like Xbox Live coming to Switch just because Cuphead devs requested it and it's coming only for Cuphead), I think we should wait and see too. But there's a chance we might get disappointed.
Well, there's no doubt about it. E3 is just 3 months away and we have this surprise "revived game" to be revealed there. Either way some exciting news are waiting for us.
you teaser :)
Anyway, Cuphead's seems perfect for the Switch. Can't wait to play it on the go
I think you're reading far too much into that.
Yes, Pedro is a banana.
They would not do all of that work only for Cuphead of all things.
No disrespect to Cuphead, but that's a significant investment. Other stuff is coming.
