I actually think the same. It's a great deal and an easy companion for the Switch. But I still don't know because it hasn't been officially announced yet lol That and I like some Sony exclusives.
this is gold lolExpectations vs Reality...
they just have too much money to make new games
hey jeff, first time long time. why is your icon Inflation Luigi
I get the joke here, but isn't Super Mario All-Stars one of the few games that was found in the original SNES datamine that hasn't been added to the service yet? Wouldn't be surprised if it was one of the announcements in the hypothetical Mario anniversary presentation.
Well now I'm willing Silksong news and a new Nintendo × Indie collab into existence.
Nah, it's also that, but more important:
The Trial of the Sword is pretty cool, with a nice reward.
And The Champion's Ballad is additional story content, which is really cool, with the best dungeon and boss of the game.
The only mini direct I want is the one that announces The Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker SuperHD
Can someone give me the rundown on what transpired over the last three or so hours? What was shared here? This thread moves so fast.
I think we've had Indie Worlds and Directs (can't remember if mini or not, but it wouldn't matter) in back-to-back weeks before.
Jeff can you look into how we literally do not know anything about Donkey Kongs father? I feel like this is a serious often overlooked issue in gaming. Where is he? Did Mario kill him after the events of DK jr?
I'll take my royalty check after you get the pulitzer from this
I made a thread on ign forums back in the wii days about washing hands...the amount of excuses people gave for not washing their hands was highly disturbing...
I don't know for sure. But the one thing I've heard about something that is possibly in the works makes it sound like it's not an indie world. This is kinda how it went in March. I heard something, then heard it could be an indie thing, but attached games I heard about weren't indie, and then it all kinda fell into place: an Indie World one week and then the Mini Direct the next week. I wouldn't be surprised to see August basically repeat that.
Nintendo is the king in making unexpected moves, and it's a coin flip if it will turn out for the better or for the worse. PlayStation has taken the crown by improving and reiterating their PlayStation platform, well Nintendo has tried something new almost every single generation, and they have for the most part flopped.
I think that the Wii was somewhat a flop as well, despite all the commercial success they had at the time, because they disregarded the core gamer. We can see that in the low attached rates of key franchises, and they failed to successfully launch the next console; soccer moms who played Wii sports did not buy a Wii U.
It's feel like they prioritize novelty over being better. Sometimes it feels like they want to build as weak of a console as possible just to prove a point.
Nintendo is the single largest video game developer for consoles in the world, and one after key missteps - beyond hardware - is releasing to few games to support the launch of the consoles.
Clearly, they aimed to resolve this by combining their Home console and handheld divisions into a single platform, which is how we got the switch. However they could have done so much more along the way, including acquiring other studios. They are in a net cash position and they should not need it.
I hope they step up at their M&A activity because if Sony and Microsoft close the gap between Nintendo and their ability to produce interesting first party exclusive games, Nintendo will have a more difficult time.
I hope they listen when they are told this message, but it could fall on deaf ears.

Im going to ask one little last thing to you Captain, and then i swear i wont bother anymore.
Do yo actually know "what" is that big event you are talking about? (not the nindies).
I mean, do you know if it is a Mini, a Partners Showcase or a General Direct? Or you know there wiill be something but dont know exactly what?
Just answer Yes or No.
Thank you sensei :)

I love your avatar.
I guess waiting for its confirmed existence is a pretty solid idea haha. Yeah, I really loved a lot of the PS4 exclusives. I'll definitely pick up a PS5, but probably in a few years when it's a fair bit cheaper. Or maybe I'll end up waiting for a Pro Model. Or PS6 with PS5 backwards compatibility. Or...
This makes perfect sense honestly. Seems like Nintendo wants to make some smaller events (Partner Showcases, Indie World) before anything big, if there is anything big in the year, after all.
If this somehow ended up being true, what's with Bandai Namco working on Nintendo projects lately? Smash, Pokemon Snap, now F-Zero?
Not sure if this is a hint or actual info. Shit.
I don't know anything about anything, and I would stop asking questions if I were you.
Donkey Kong as we know him today, is in fact Donkey Kong Jr. Meaning Cranky Kong is the original DK.
Unfortunately I don't trust Sony with backwards compatibility :/
