Genuine question: What has a Chinese forum to do with all of this?
Nothing. I just find it funny that they are already spreading out.
hoping for some decent third party announcements in the direct. don't want to say what cuz then it'd be PB :)
Thanks for the links. Some funny comments in there.
Think my weibo will finally blow up if I go drop some knowledge on them?
You could also just drop it here, this thread seems to have a global audience ;)
Let Zell have the shine. I gave a few bits and pieces recently, just more vague than ever before.
I hope the 2D Zelda is another Link between worlds tier game.
Also, Ryo Nagamatsu is a fucking genius and should continue the trend of composing the 2D Zeldas.

I know you are the expert when it comes to Pokemon, but this was from a guy working with Nintendo.
Not from a source.
So they were going to release both Gen VIII and Let's Go in the same year?
If I had eyes I would close them now at least once.
Because I'm gonna sleep. Take that as you will.
Maybe lets go was not a switch game to begin with, i alwaysthought it looked like a smart phone game.
i audibly gasped reading this. makes sense, and i'm really glad to see that new pokemon got 1 extra year of development, that's excellent news.
Very interesting. It does have smartphone game look to me.
Do you exactly when this Direct is happening, Zell? Sorry for all of the questions today! We all appreciate it.
I wouldn't say LGPE looks like a smartphone game but it's always felt like a 3DS port. There is nothing in that game that can only be done on the Switch. All the motion controls are doable on the 3DS. But I think this is digressing...
I wanted to ask only two things to king zell:
-What should we expect about the new Fire Emblem? Is surprising how Nintendo isn't giving it any promotion unlike previous 3 games.
-What should we expect about Smash DLCs? Seems second one is very likely to be Edrick from Dragon Quest. Are all DLC going to come from non-Nintendo parties?

not only the look, but think about how simplified the controls are, you can basically play with 1 stick and 1 (or is it 2?) button, and motion controls. that would be very easy to replicate on mobile.
but i don't know if that was a smart move by nintendo, the games would have probably made a fuckton more money as mobile games with IAPs.
Just to be clear guys, i only post stuff that i heard, so asking me about other stuff that i didnt talk about means i know nothing about it.
Not King Zell, but Fire Emblem Fates was first revealed back in January 2015, and released in Japan June 23, 2015. The same goes for FE: Shadows of Valentia, which wasn't known until Jan 2017, and released May 2017.
Edit: Not saying there is a pattern, but who knows.
Switch is the priority and Let's Go pushed hardware sales quite hard before Smash. I think it was the right move and I believe it brought a lot of new fan that could enjoy the future entry.
I know they helped on Zelda, Mario Kart, and Splatoon 2. That said, they do have a second studio that is devoted to asset creation. Do we know they had their entire workforce on Xenoblade 2 and helping on other projects?
Even if they did have their remaining staff helping on other Switch projects like Zelda/Splatoon we could still see their project sooner than some think. Zelda launched in March and Splatoon in June. Both should have been completely wrapped up in early 2017. That staff may have started a new project at that time, meaning it's had 2 years Development time very soon. It could easily be ready to show some time later this year, which means we would still see it sooner than a lot of people believe.
Like I said, I wouldn't hold my breath but I do think it's possible we see it sooner than some believe (I think most believe we won't see it until mid/second half of 2020 to be clear).
Edit: Splatoon 2 launches in July.
So could that mean more than one big single player game coming? Any word on if Retro's 2nd project is dead or not...
That's been, IMO, one of Nintendo's biggest gaps in their library for the last several years, story driven or action adventure games. They have plenty of 2d/3d platfomers, multiplayer games, jrpgs, and even the more niche titles like hack n slash (warriors) and spectacle fighters. But for story driven games it's just Zelda, (I can't even count Metroid cause it's hardly a regular entry).
Hope they got more story driven stuff in the pipeline (besides monolith).

Again, I love him, but sometimes he is too simple.
In GPU terms Switch in handheld mode is about 35x the 3DS's GPU (76x in docked mode) and that's not accounting for the huge leap in architectural improvements in terms of third party engine and modern effects support that Switch has over 3DS. In docked mode it really isn't far off a 100x leap, all things considered. 240p to 1080p in terms of image quality improvements in some cases too.
i know, just saying a proper pokemon adventure on mobile would have made a lot of money. i'm not mad tho, not a big fan of mobile games.
If the trilogy being teased is Metroid then they'd have to show some MP4 footage as well. I mean, I'd personally riot if all we saw from Metroid was some remaster and they kept the mystery going on with MP4.
Then again, the King didn't say it's going to be shown in the January Direct, only that there's a trilogy coming. I believe MPT and MP4 will be announced at the same time, most likely at E3.

there's nothing more effective to promote the trilogy and hype people up than showing some 4 footage right after they announce the trilogy.
Monolith is a workhorse studio, really well run. Just think about what they've done in the last 3 years. Xenoblade X, Xenoblade 2, Torna, that Project X game (3ds), and then all the assist work on games like BOTW, Animal Crossing, Splatoon 2.
So with all the expansions they've had and money being thrown at them, I don't doubt they can push stuff out quicker.
Pokemon switch, could've started work on as early as 2015, and they certainly have the money for any help needed.
I don't think they can do much towards their HW situation, the big selling season is already over now. At best what they can do is try to bolster software numbers, and my guess, the reason we're seeing discounts left and right for games normally never discounted is that.
It's gonna be a big direct I agree with that but the strategy will probably stay the same. January is important for both investors and consumers to outline the first half of the year, and like you said we have no dates. But it's definitely looking packed, since they started their announcements in September.
So this thread exploded overnight and most people now seem to agree that 2018 was at the very least pedestrian. How things change...
Two people are not "most people" and these are basically the same persons that have been saying it the whole year (just like you).
I still disagree that it was a bad year though.
