Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT|

We had that comment last week saying DMC5 could come if people bought Dragon's Dogma (lol) surely they wouldn't say that if they didn't already know they could get REengine running on Switch.......would they?
Just a dodgy way of marketing Dragon's Dogma, we shouldn't look too deeply into the statement.
I have no idea why people think it's the engine that's the issue with porting AAA games to the Switch.
My bet is that if it does come, it will be Switch/mobile (which is fine with me as long as the Switch side is up to par). Or maybe the ultimate troll, mobile only....
Speaking of Monster Hunter, I find it weird that they are waiting almost two full years after the launch of MHW to release the expansion. Surely at this point they should just be focused on their next full project?
So, who is this and why should anyone believe them? Or are you just finding random Tweets to post here again?
I honestly don't have much faith in Konami about this rumored Castlevania collection. It wouldn't surprise me if it was super barebones and lacked both Rondo and SotN.
Dont forget, Smash Bros Ultimate was announced in March and was shown at E3 and released in December.
So plenty of time for showing and releasing AC this year.
We also had infos that Capcom specifically requested from Nintendo that Switch has 4GB of RAM so they could port RE Engine to Switch,
I mean there is no sense you make request like that if you can't port engine from some other reason.
Also, nothing suggests that RE Engine is demanding and that cant be ported to Switch, I mean RE7 and RE2 Remake are both 1080p/60fps even on base XB1,
I would guess that we could have those games running around 720p/60FPS or 900p/30FPS on Switch.
King Zell specifically said the game he expected to be revealed turned out only to be hinted at. That only applies to MH, since P5 and Sonic have not been hinted at.
Great comment and I hope you are right. Btw, the male & young adult thing was the situation at the very beginning of the Switch life cycle, when Nintendo did an online survey. AFAIK the Switch userbase is half female by now, not sure about age.
It would be very interesting to know the Switch userbase (the part that is not families). I would assume that it is quite different from people with gaming rigs, but as you mention not in the way that they are just casual gamers (casual gamers just play mobile games these days). I happen to know about a university department where 6 young professors own a Switch by now and most of them no console besides that. They started doing regular multiplayer meetings sometime last year. Reddit had a few comments by e.g. business travelers getting a Switch, or anybody who is heavily commuting or traveling for work. I think one reason games can still priced so high is that the Switch is targeting young working people who can't or don't want to be at home a lot (commuting, long-distance relationships, more leisure traveling than in the 90s and 00s), not pupils on pocket money. This would be a very interesting change in the market, especially for developers of more adult-targeted games. It does explain the extraordinary sales in Japan for me.
"Random tweets to post"? Must have me confused with someone else. I'll let you figure it out since you have an attitude with me.
Both P5 and Sonic are hinted that will be announced this month.
Checked my post history to make sure, but I'm right; you're definitely the same person who was posting Tweets from that "Mug" account (the one who supposedly predicted the Nintendo Direct), acting as if they were legit.
In any case, I don't need to figure it out, because I already know the answer; they're nobody, and they don't know anything. It would be great for people to stick to more credible sources.
Did they? For what? If they're a credible insider, I'm surprised they haven't been talked about more.
Their friend stupidly broke a very wide NDA and they shared the trailer*
Totally agreed with this. People sometimes forget Switch launched with one of, if not THE biggest open world game of all time. It's synonymous with the Switch and tbh it's pretty tone deaf if companies don't think we want these types of games on this system.
I read the thread about the castlevania collection which is really great if it is true, but the other thing I read was a 50th anniversary arcade collection also listed. This definitely got me excited as I feel we need more arcade collections on switch. Would love Capcom and Taito.
I'm really looking forward to Labo VR, I am sure that Nintendo will have some major IPs added to this and some unique fun games which make total use of this new tech.
Which was stupid for them to do. They got called out by the devs. Said they messed up their initial marketing plans
Its been way too long since we've had a direct.
joking. Nothing as close from September-February and we won't have that again this year.
I don't disagree with your overall point though a few corrections- first, the demographics have absolutely changed since launch. It still doesn't seem to skew "casual" at all as evidenced by game sales but it's a lot more varied than it was. Second, Capcom also supported it with Resident Evil Revelations 1+2 which were also serious last gen games.
Let's be honest, Dark Cloud.
You believe 99% of Twitter leaks until proven false or until proven credible background lol
Or a mini direct, with reveals of Pikmin 3 and Metroid Prime Trilogy, both releasing in May.
I hope the next 3D Zelda is teased at this years E3.
I really want Nintendo to do some crazy stuff like this. Botw is super successful and that open world works. I love they had thoughts of aliens. Let me get abducted by an alien spaceship and taken to some huge alien planet.

Haha, I know, I know. That was a drought, all right! I'm sure it'll be a little while before we get another Direct now but it won't be half as bad.
YES.I hope the next 3D Zelda is teased at this years E3.

Being that this was already concepted, I'd be super down to see them do a "Majora's Mask 2" sort of thing. Take Breath of the Wild, the assets, the mechanics, all of it, and just go to town into weird territory.
That's no longer the case, it's now 50/50 male and female. But your point stands
I hope the next direct has a segment similar to how they did with DQXI S but with Yo-Kai Watch 4 this time.
Yeah let's get weird. I don't want Hyrule all over again. Nintendo broke themselves off of that timeline is good too. Maybe we get more sci-fi with playable Zelda too.

Or...the camera pans to a distant hill, where an ochre downward gleam manifests to a landing ship. The ship hatch opens, and an armored being of gold, ruby, and jade emerges vertically.
The screen fizzles a little, the hue of the sky alters, and the words Metroid Prime 4 appear on the screen.
The new Power Rangers game. Do some actual research before you make a shitty, mean-spirited post as you did above.
Also, Dark Cloud is free to post whatever he wants. You are not the "post police".
Who are we to expect to localize this? Nintendo certainly won't be in a rush. Maybe L5America can commission a localization?
You think its more the case of Capcom not bothering to do the work than REengine not running properly?
I think it's more that the RE Engine games released since Switch's launch couldn't run at all on the system no matter if the engine is godlike on it or not.
I think it'll be Nintendo again.
