...what?! How did I miss that? But I thought Yakuza won't be coming to the Switch because of the Wii U version! i hope my post won't age badly.
This.
I want to play the main campaign first but I'm afraid of being spoiled of FC :(
When you're a pessimist, you're either always right or pleasantly surprised
Nintendo will tell investors if we can expect a Direct in June next week. They always confirm the obvious E3 Direct at the May investors' briefing, except there is no E3 and the world is on fire so it's not so obvious this year.
Given the current crisis I think it's fair in this case. Regardless of how good or bad this year would have been it's assuredly been made worse now. I've already resigned myself to having nothing to look forward to until next year.
Stay strong my brother, we can do this, we are committed.
Nintendo will confirm at the investors meeting what their plan is because we always know E3 is coming. Nintendo makes their "official E3 plans" by mid May. Next week is already May 8. Either they'll confirm they still will have some kind of "E3 presentation" or they'll say they have change of plans
Do we have any idea how long this content will be?
I don't know how I'm going to finish this game before TLoU2. Gonna have to give it a try at least.
I would be so shocked if Yakuza came to Switch. Isn't the creator (director? He literally looks like a Yakuza lol) against porting the series to the Switch? Him and Harada from Namco are just weird and annoying when it comes to deciding what games can come to the Switch.
He said that in 2018 (?) I believe, when nobody had a clue how successful the console's gonna be He changed his tone in early 2019 when he said that a port wasn't considered "for now" (Note: it wasn't announced or released for the Xbox at that moment). Obviously unsure if it's gonna happen, but I wouldn't really be shocked, maybe a bit surprised.
The reason why I would be shocked is because I'm really pessimistic when it comes to Bandai, Sega and Atlus lol. They are perhaps the most stubborn companies especially Sega/Atlus when it comes to porting certain games to other platforms.
Well, that I can agree with. It's straight up baffling at times but I just don't really give a damn anymore, if they don't want my money that's fine too. not like they really need it, but still lmao.
Well, money talks. Yakuza 1&2 HD came to Wii U with Nintendo involvement (Iwata even appeared together with Nagoshi in the Direct) and if they pay for the port, Sega won't say no to easy money. Pretty sure MS also paid for the ports.
This is where it puzzles me. I'm sure Yakuza would sell decent if not great. In fact, I would predict that it would sell better than Xbox. Third party sales on Switch are nothing to scoff at. Maybe they just want to get paid as you said.
Sometimes I get jealous of PlayStation with how they get third party games so easily lol.
0, Kiwami, and 3-5 would run fine on Switch, so it's not impossible that some of these make it over. However Kiwami 2, 6, and 7 would need some serious reworking to run on Switch's hardware, so I wouldn't be expecting those at all. I wonder which titles would end up getting ported?
Essentially. Although if you want to be optimistic, we could get some decent information in May.
My vote is Twitter news feed until June, perhaps Direct(s) focused on one game.
There isn't necessarily going to be a summer Direct. They might just announce whatever they have to announce in separate videos or presentations.
I think it's the overall planning that is delaying things rather than the act of announcing anything. They need to figure out what games will be delayed and for how long and so what games originally planned for 2020 will need to be pushed back.
I think Nintendo isn't announcing it's 2020 lineup because they don't know what it is.
I absolutely agree that is why they haven't announced anything yet and why it might still be a while before they do, but people have been floating the idea that they won't even announce anything until late summer or even Fall.
At a certain point they'll need to nail down a schedule and begin marketing the games in that schedule, so them going through June without announcing any H2 titles seems very unlikely.
You heard it here first, folks. Nintendo Direct Mini Shadowdrop 2: Electric Boogaloo, coming tomorrow morning!
Edit: Wait... a FUNKY feeling you say? Hmmmmmmmmmm
We're no longer even sure that's happening, so we're really not waiting for anything
Well, the only thing we know 100% for sure is there will be financial results on May 7th and a briefing the day after. Whether we learn anything at all from that remains to be seen, but it's at least SOMETHING.
Yep. We are waiting for something and it's called the Investors Meeting
Why do this? Why give me hope?
I already bought it on PS4 and I would immediately buy it again on Switch.
Hard to believe we said pretty much this exact same thing three months ago at the end of January and thought the Direct would be right around the corner. Time flies! Kinda.
OP
OP
Well I was right about the last direct being a mini shadowdrop.
But that one had actual evidence to back it up and not just my gut.
I never thought in January I'd be anticipating an investors meeting in May
Let me hit you with this: Switch gets Ishin because Nintendo pays for the loc, because samurai games are popular and Nintendo wants some of that
Yiss.
Speaking of - Retro has been hiring a boatload lately. I wonder if we have any realistic numbers for how many are employed now
While we're still dreaming, this obviously is just a lead in to Nintendo's Murasame Castle revival.
They're roughly around 115 people. Reminder they probably have a second game coming (F-Zero I think). He heard it was almost done last year. It would've made sense for Nintendo to reveal it at this years E3. They like to reveal Retro's games at E3. I just can't see how you almost make it to the end and it collapsed.

Now they're struggling to support one platform, so most definitely indeed.
Oh well. It is what it is. Nate and Imran basically implied this. Investors meeting they'll tell everyone they no longer plan on having an "E3 presentation" this year and will just do other stuff
I don't believe they'll have a whole summer with ZERO releases besides Catherine. That's basically killing the whole momentum. Even though there won't be any news about upcoming first party games, we should have a third party focused one instead.
They don't need a direct to announce games. They have Youtube, twitter, Instagram, etc to do it
I'm talking about a June Direct, not about them not having games.
Yeah, I've kept my Avatar this long because I really don't think whatever it was was canned. It still doesn't make sense to me. Also, if the previous project was a failure, rapidly scaling up the studio seems counter intuitive? I would think scaling up with new talent would only happen if the group were strong and stable.
Curious - why do you think FZero? Just guessing?
