Once Tropical Freeze passes 3 million on Switch (it's over 2 million right now), all of those titles I listed above will have hit 3 million in a single release, with the majority doing at least 5 million. DK has huge potential as an IP and Switch games are regularly the best selling titles of their IPs, it's time for Nintendo to expand.

DK can teach them that, I heard he's pretty good at it.

Wow, 15 pages already I still haven`t read the last 5 pages from the last thread. And only a night has passed. I am sure nothing important happened, so I will just continue here. I still think we can expect the Direct this week. If it doesn`t arrive this week/month, we have another 10 threads to fill.

Ah yes, I remember when the Arms website going down meant that Arms 2 was coming out.

You're lucky I'm not in charge .. I would trade in all the remake dreams for a ambitious brand new EPD IP in November.

Yes that would be great, but I don't think that Nintendo would use a brandnew IP as their big holiday title. It would be too risky and unsafe. I assume that EPD Tokyo will either make Odyssey 2 or a 3D Donkey. I think everything else is not very realistic. Maybe they will do a new IP as a side project (as it was for Captain Toad), but this won't surely be their main project.

Clearly the new single-player content rumored for the Pikmin 3 port will be a prologue based around Olimar and Louie's expedition before the events of the game. The main differences being:
  • Fruit isn't the focus and collecting treasure is the main goal again.
  • Rock and Winged Pikmin are nowhere to be seen. Instead; White and Purple Pikmin are available because...
  • Caves have been added to each area!
So pretty much Pikmin 2.9.

for those of us who correctly consider 2 better than 3, this is the dream scenario

Fair point though I'd say if the genre was big enough in scope (character action or 3d platform for example) it could be a tentpole .. all hopes and dreams though eh

DKC1-3, Diddy Kong Racing, DK64, and DKCR have all been positioned as big holiday titles, and Tropical Freeze was originally as well.
I have high hopes for holiday 2020 bringing a new Donkey Kong game. I believe it is happening.

Yes. 3D DK is indeed not so big as 3D Mario, but you have to consider that 3D Mario is already on switch. So maybe a new 3D DK could be a neat systemseller as well. Surrounded by other Mid-tier games and good BF-Deals, this could be enough for a great christmas season.
To me, each Donkey Kong game was a system seller: Wii, 3DS, Wii U, Switch. There are fans out there who love DK. It is wonderful for both kids and adults.
If Nintendo offers too many Mario games I don`t even get excited about new games.

Once Tropical Freeze passes 3 million on Switch (it's over 2 million right now), all of those titles I listed above will have hit 3 million in a single release, with the majority doing at least 5 million. DK has huge potential as an IP and Switch games are regularly the best selling titles of their IPs, it's time for Nintendo to expand.
Considering both Wii U and Switch release, Tropical Freeze surpassed 4 million. I hope it will come to 5 million all together. Yeah, DK has amazing potential - there can be 2D platformers, 3D platformers, racing games and also other new ideas can be done. DK is best in 2D platformers, so I hope they make many more. It is also fantastic that we could get new soundtracks by David Wise.

Pikmin 2's dungeons got...awful in the later areas so it can't be better than 1 or 3 by default.

Does a Twitter Direct count (the same info drop a Nintendo Direct would have but just on Social media over a day or two without warning)?

Next NSO Online Exclusive: I like the F-Zero 99 concept, but i'm also partial to the Splatoon spin-off idea I shared in the previous thread (4 player co-op puzzle platformer that uses Splatoon's mechanics).
Smash Brothers DLC Stage NOT in Fighters Pass: Minecraft
Unexpected Port: Nintendo Puzzle Collection

Where did you get the non-Fighters Pass DLC Stage from?

well
I guess
-F-Zero 99
-Minecraft World
-VirtualBoy Wario Land (Because there aren't many other worthwile Virtual Boy games, so they didn't bother putting it on Switch Online.)

Nothing can be set in stone yet until Nintendo remove the "New" banner on the Smash website's fighter icon!

Smash for WiiU had the 'Super Mario Maker' stage release on it's own.

This is a robbery of the post I just made in the Smash thread!

Decided to bother fact-checking this today, and they didn't actually remove the new banners from Hero's update before the September Direct. They don't mean anything anymore.

- Unexpected eShop Port: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
-Next NSo Online Exclusive : Nintendo Puzzle League (Panel De Pon), kinda like Tetris 99 there's a bunch of Nintendo themes. Including Panel De Pon for the first time (I think ?) in the west.

-Smash Brothers DLC Stage not in Fighter Pass : Galar Stadium, including the stadium music. Pokémon in the background turn into dynamax, and music change as they do, like in the Pokémon Sword/Shield.

-Unexpected port : MGS 2&3

Fuck, just realised that if it's revealed tomorrow here in the UK then the Direct is going to be on Wednesday.

I'm starting to think that I'll miss this one :(

why whats Wednesday?

I've got work on Wednesday into the late evening. I'd only be able to watch it live if it were at a time similar to the Pokemon Direct or on Thursday :(

And it seems like 'Thursday' to the Americans is 'Wednesday' to us Brits. Can't seem to find any Directs that actually aired on a Thursday here unfortunately.

I'm pretty sure that the person who created that does actual animated porn as their craft and source of income.
Wouldn't surprise me. The female inklings in this video are almost lewd sometimes, with huge breats. Blow my mind that Imran went on twitter to post multiple posts saying "damn, I can assure you that Nintendo really took a lot of time and actual ressources to do this april fool, this is awesome", bruh look at their tits lmao

Yeah tends to be 10 or 11pm here in the UK, so unless your shift finishes before that you may not catch it live.
