That's why they should close it. See what the thread is doing to me?
I like that between directs it becomes a hangout place to speculate and discuss whatever Nintendo's got in the pipeline.The wait for the next direct does become a bit intense sometimes, but for a Nintendo fan, it's better than nothing during info droughts like this one.
Arguably they destroyed what has been the core of Zelda since OOT with BOTW to great effect. I'm just worried that they won't stick the landing this time.
BotW2
Animal Crossing is 5-ish weeks away
I don't want Odyssey 2 that bad
My Metroid itch has been thoroughly scratched
Paper Mario probably doesn't have much left to do now that the initial novelty and jokes have been burned through
The difference between AC and Zelda is that AC's sales didn't stagnate on 3DS
Breath of the Wild 2. This is because I loved the previous one and I trust that this will be just as good, if not better. Another adventure like BOTW is just too exciting for me.
huh, he must've appealed
he was banned for a month a little while ago
Definitely Zelda. Metroid would be next, unless Mario becomes Galaxy 3 instead of Odyssey 2! Next is Paper Mario. I have no interest in AC, sadly.
Yes, but out of necessity for Zelda. The series was in a serious slump in sales and they had basically exhausted everything they could do with the ocarina formula. I don't think AC is there yet.
BOTW 2, easily. AC is only a month away, I can wait for it.
Zelda was in a slump when they changed it up, Animal Crossing isn't. It's coming off of the best selling game in the series. And, arguably, BotW took Zelda back to what it was originally about - exploration and discovery, so it wasn't destroying the core either.
Normally I would say Odyssey 2, but I have never played a console Animal Crossing game so I will go with that. Besides I still have Metroid and Paper Mario games in the backlog to get through first.
That's a legitimately difficult question. If everyone also gets to play it tomorrow, then I choose Zelda. I have a lot of friends who were fun to talk about BOTW with and that would be a fun experience to have again. If only I get the game tomorrow then probably Paper Mario. I don't have anybody around me who enjoys Paper Mario so it's existed as a personal enjoyment.
it's not an embargo on reviews, but on merch that likely correlates with content they want to announce later.
I get why Animal Crossing doesn't have the NES games for you to find anymore. But I love games that have other games that you can play in them. I wish Animal Crossing had original arcade games that you could collect. Or hell there's only a few Nintendo published Virtual boy games. That'd be a fun collectable (maybe you could have the games switch to grayscale instead of death-red).
Metroid V, by a mile. We don't know that it's actually in development or what's rumored will be released. AC is real and a month away, BotW2 has been announced, and a new mario game is as certain as death and taxes.
Marathon Direct. Every 45 minutes Bill Trinen comes out and reminds you to hydrate.
I can just imagine Darth Vader sitting as his computer reading this thread
"impressive. Most impressive"
I know it's silly and pointless but I think if you have an NSO subscription you should be able to collect the NES and SNES games in Animal Crossing
So are people still hoping for a shadowdrop direct today, or are we officially out of hope for the week?
Nah, we're definitely out of hope, and combined with the fact that this is my first solo Valentines Day since 2015, it's definitely gonna be a fantastic day :)
I FUCKING KNEW ID GET DAD JOKED
Now I'm not sad anymore. Thank you.
Why would you be sad if there is 100% a Nintendo Direct coming next week? 🙃
oh I've played Pikmin 3
I just want it again lol
also fuck the wii u, it was always shit and I always knew it was shit
I can't see another Zelda getting released before BotW 2. We had a main Zelda game in 2017, two ports/remakes/spinoffs: one in 2018 and one in 2019. So we will probably have BotW 2 this holiday or early next year. People expecting WW/TP HD ports will have to wait. I don't think Nintendo wants to release more than 2 ports/remakes/spinoffs between main games. There's more than enough already.
Edit: Actually, I forgot about Cadence of Hyrule, so we already had 3 games after BotW. (I was counting Hyrule Warriors port and Links Awakening remake)

They did add Desert Island Escape and Animal Crossing Puzzle League to New Leaf, albeit extremely late to the game. They came in with the Welcome Amiibo update a few years back, but New Leaf was already 4 years old by then, so if you weren't still playing at the time, you wouldn't have known about them at all.
Metroid
I like the other games but I am not itching to play them right now, they come when they come.
real talk what do we think the over/under is on Ori and the Will of the Wisps making it to Switch? I don't have an Xbox or a PC (i have a 2010 macbook air) to play it and am considering buying an Xbox for it.
I had a dream that we were all watching the direct live and some of the announcements were more Wii u ports, remake of Monster Hunter portable 3rd with a new weapon, Kingdom Hearts collection and KH3 but people were shitting on it since it was low resolution lol.
