I haven't gone through the thread, but I hope tensions have settled with the announcement of the AC Direct. I'm sure the General Direct is just around the corner.

Thinking about TWEWY2. What do y'all think the scope would be?

I mean the original constrained them a lot, clearly. And I don't see them going for the hamstrung and held back final remix controls and style.

could we get full 3D environments and a new battle system?

It also makes sense that the thread would slow down a bit, as our resident thread-booster Dark Cloud is still banned for the next 5-6 days lmao

There's value in objectivity, no one is saying they're not some of the best games of all time, heck they still hold up today. They aren't damning criticisms (because there aren't any), the overall experience isn't marred by them, but denying their existence is counterproductive. Do you really want to see a Magmoor caverns-like backtracking route to get to one area in MP4 or the escort missions from 3?
They're as close to perfect (at least 1 and 2) as games can be in my eyes, but saying they're flawless is objectively false.

Every game ever has flaws, and these are no exception. I feel like Echoes is the most flawed of the three though, but it's highs might be the highest of the series. Even with all the flaws they are three of my GOATS though. The wait for Prime 4 has been, and will continue to be brutal :(

Actually kind of looking forward to the Animal Crossing direct, mostly because my wife is getting hyped. More interested in the general one and any news around PAX. Silksong release date pls.

As someone with OCD, the way scanning worked in Metroid Prime basically completely killed the game for me. Stressed me out way too much to play, didn't like it at all.

Dark Cloud got banned AGAIN? Why? General aggressiveness/hostility?
Just being really dismissive and snide in an argument with someone. Not really a huge deal, but I doubt his history helped him any. But him being banned is obviously the herald of a coming Direct, so we should all be praising him for his sacrifice, really.

That guy who said he heard a Nintendo Direct next week from his source (not Zippo)

Is he credible? Never heard of him before

I really want to play XBC1. I liked the battle system and LOVED the music of XBC2 even if everything else was meh. XBC1 looks like it might tick all the boxes.

What were the low moments of Echoes for you?

The key hunt was by far the most tedious thing in any of the three Prime games. A lot of the Dark World sequences weren't really that interesting. The Temple Grounds is overall just a really boring area. Enemies that phase in and out are really annoying and not fun to fight (Hunter Ing, Dark Pirate Commandos).

Game is still fantastic though.

Yeah I played 2, but not 1 or X. I think the consensus is that 1 is not only the best of the bunch but also a top tier RPG period.

I... I think Paper Mario for Nintendo Switch WILL be a return to the style of the first two Paper Mario games. (Nintendo is listening)

Yes, I am insane. Yes, I am setting my expectations way too high. Yes, I am an idiot. Yes, take everything i'm about to say with a grain of salt. And yes, I am completely prepared to be BTFO'd when Sticker Star 3/Color Splash 2 is announced to be coming to the Switch. That being said, please...

Throwback to when a made an entire conspiracy theory-style thread about why Paper Mario will probably go back to it's roots on Switch

Now look where we are with rumors.

Can I be an insider yet?

Yep. Maybe he'll be able to cool down a bit during his break this time.

I haven't heard of them either, so I don't think I'll trust them.

Looking forward to the Animal Crossing Direct tonight though!

pray for February because if zippo is right that increases the chance of a good PM. This is the real motivation...

Pokemon direct, smash direct, animal crossing direct then what indies direct? I think Nintendo doesn't have sufficient number of games for a general direct. Maybe no general direct till E3 is true

If they are doing direct seperately for Smash/Pokemon and AC but also have a ND this month, it could mean there is a lot of stuff to announce. Or the direct will be 15 mins

I don't feel like sleeping just yet and time is going super slow while waiting for the ac direct. Fortunately I'm being entertained by reading through the Sony PAX thread.

Yeah, the idea of a general Direct in the near future died with the announcement of the AC one. I expect April at the earliest.

Happy 3AM folks! What is the current consensus? Direct on March 5, March 12? February 27? Since this appears to be anarchy I think anything's possible. Any credible rumors?
