game celebrated its 2nd anniversary and 2.5 mil sales a few days ago so i could imagine a switch version is in the works especially considering how insanely popular the system is

Why was I under the assumption that Nioh was a PS4 console exclusive?

Fuck no, they have 3 revealed titles for 2019 that need more info, 1 title we have plenty of info for but still would be nice to see more off, Town, and eventually a Pokemon Direct. Alongside whatever the hell else they have to announce for 2019. The only way it dissapoints is if this turns out to be a Mini Direct, with no previous announcement.

I like my regions to be nice and spring like, perhaps some winter weather.

There won't be an Era to stay off of if that happens.

TBH, BoxBoy in HD is hype as fuck, they can do something amazing with it if they applied themselves to do so.

I hope it's not exclusive, a masterpiece deserves to be played by everyone

On the subject of Tropical, is there any hope of Retro pulling a bigger surprise than just their mystery game?
  1. Retro Studios never cancelled a game. They've been sitting on a final entry to a DK Returns trilogy and they have a mysterious (Star Fox GP) other title ready/nearly ready too. When they were nearing completion of the third DK entry, that team put Funky Kong into the Tropical Freeze port and ported the game to Switch under Nintendo's instruction to maximise returns to counter the prolonged development cycle on their other title.
  2. Retro Studios did cancel a game, and Tropical Freeze port was brought in to fill the void in their release schedule. However, at that time they beefed up the port team in order to allow them to make a third entry (albeit on a longer development cycle than the previous entries) whilst another, larger team stuck to the mysterious (Star Fox GP) title. This could mean they are now in a position where their mysterious title is likely ready, and a new DK is potentially close to being ready.
Assuming Metroid Prime Trilogy is real and ready to launch, are we also assuming Retro developed it? Or do we think it was outsourced to a smaller studio, like many ports tend to be?

Or they've been working on the ultimate crossover for 5 years:

Donkey Kong Country: StarTropical Freeze.

I don't think they have any other game ready to release except Star Fox. If I recall correctly, the rumour is that a different studio made the Prime trilogy port.

To my understanding, such was impossible because Nioh and its sequel are both console-exclusive to Sony.

Even after Nioh 2's announcement, the only words Koei had to offer up when it came to exclusivity was:

So, Nioh is likely going to stay on Playstation hardware.

The only thing I really want that hasn't been announced is a new Donkey Kong game but I think if that exists we won't see it until E3.

...okay, I really want a real Paper Mario 3, but that will never be announced.

you know, they're just gonna send some tubes through my penis hole all the way into my bladder and then through there into the tube that connects the kidney to the bladder and then drill into an 8x5 mm stone, and then i have to pee out the remains which i've been told feels like peeing glass shards. nbd*

*nbd means no big deal

it's really not a big surgery, it's pretty routine

Please say you guys are joking about Pokemon Snap.
My heart can't take rumors of the GOAT Pokemon spinoff if nothing comes out of it.

I've been told drinking excessive amounts of water helps prevent kidney stones.

This is why I pee like 19 times a day.

this is a nintendo direct thread. it is a shitpost quarantine zone with a very very tiny dose of credible rumors. assume everything in here is people freaking out for the fun of it.

also a real announcement of a switch exclusive sequel to a cult classic would lead to a port-begging graveyard thread on the front page of gaming anyway so it'd be hard to miss lol.

Hey, I'll have you know that we have some extremely credible rumors and not just shitposts. Some rumors are so credible that they will blow your minds.


Specifically that -40 degrees C = -40 degrees F.

Talking about rumours, I expect Mercurysteam to announce Samus Returns Again: Chozo X Chronicles this week. It'll be the surprise Metroid game for 2019.
