Nintendo-First Party Thread |OT2| New Year. New Mii.
- Thread starter EAD Ninja

Tbf no one has hinted at next week being when the direct airs.
Didn't they say there was gonna be a direct 'soon'? I guess 'soon' could incorporate February or even March so it might be a safe guess.
Definitely the right thread.
Depends on the game, but for most first party games you will be fine. Including NSMBU. If your Switch is set to English, you can pop the Japanese cart into your system and it will automatically display and run in English. The only big games I know that are region-dependent are Splatoon 2 and Xenoblade 2. Always be sure to check before buying.
Depends on the game. The languages supported are listed on the eShop page (although you have to be able to read Japanese in order to understand what languages are supported). NSMBU specifically supports English.
EDIT: Looks like I was Ninja'd with regards to a response.
Yep. This page is kept up to date with specific option languages for Switch games bought in Japan or from the japanese eshop.
or maybe soon means soon and youre just stretching, and its next week like another insider told us
I know right gosh people can't even wait exactly one week right
I'm really interested to see what DLC we get from Nintendo this year.
-We know Smash is getting fighters, but maybe some extra stuff?
-Yoshi? Will it get support?
-Mario Aces isn't stopping till a full year has gone by. They mentioned this before.
-Super Mario Party? Will it happen?
-Fire Emblem is gonna have tons of it lol. I'll probably buy the intresting ones. Some of Fates was pretty good. Some of Echoes was as well. Those there's more bad then good, sadly.

Would be cool to see if Marvelous collabs with Nintendo in bringing some mechs of Xenoblade X into Daemon X Machina.
I feel like we won't see any Joker gameplay until the Spring Direct. He's not even in a playable state.....at least as of a few weeks back.
I still wonder why we still have no clue about Mario Party and especially Odyssey DLC. I think we're in a Galaxy 2 situation. Nintendo maybe has enough content programmed for sequels and doesn't see those two games as "service" like Smash, Splatoon, Arms or Aces.
I'm pretty sure about an Odyssey 2 if we don't hear about Dlcs. Mario Party should have been a given, but the next Direct is probably the last chance to announce more content for it.
Personally I'd love to see xbc2 artifices like Siren or XBC1s Metal faces
Am I the only one in this forum who does not consider a date 1-2 months in the future to be 'soon'
Well. They did add free DLC to Mario Odyessy. Just not what people expected.
They Probably have a good reason why they don't want to do DLC for Mario. Save them idea for a sequel perhaps?
Yeah those would be great too, I'd just suggested X since the mech designs fall in line with DxM's.
But actually controlling sirens and metal faces is damn good.
Probably. And Delfinia could be the Mushroom Kingdom of the first one.
I can't believe Nintendo cancelled all current and future projects and rocketed their HQ into the sun. All because Reggie lost the CD-R with the Direct on it amongst the mix CD's in his mom's Civic. I don't know if you guys know this, but if Nintendo didn't have a Direct this week it meant their pact with Lucifer was broken, you know the pact Furukawa made to make sure Nintendo made their 20mil target, so they're officially fucked.
Which means Sakurai will start aging again. Enjoy Smash Ultimate you guys, it'll be the last Smash ever.
I'm hoping for Super Mario Party DLC the most; Pokken's DLC came out of nowhere, so I still think SMP could get some new content. Aces will continue going until June (at least for new characters, maybe we'll get more costumes after that), and Fire Emblem is guaranteed to have some. The pessimist in me is just expecting the Fighters Pass and Mii Costume DLC for Ultimate, but I hope we get a bit more. I don't think Yoshi will get new content post-launch (that would be a first for a Good-Feel game, right?).
I would love to see this. If a direct is coming soon I think this is almost a sure bet.
I think possibly we may also see another round of DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
I think most people have given up on that happening; but if it does, I could see it being announced in a Mario Kart Direct (mainly focused on Mario Kart Tour, but also with MK8DX DLC shown at some point).
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe ain't gonna stop selling.
Why not save it for a "New Console" launch window like the Switch.
It would have to be something drastically different from 8 I think. Maybe some new type of gimmick or make it a Nintendo All Stars type of deal where they include characters and themes from more different franchises than already (maybe even some third party).
If they want to differentiate it from 8 there are a few options (and surely more than I can think of).
- New control scheme/gimmick
- More focus on online play, seasons, cups etc (I don't see this happening with Nintendos reputation though)
- New vehicle types (planes, boats etc)
- Nintendo All-Stars
*Complete Direct meltdown among this thread*
Someone: "Hey here is an earnest question about Nintendo stuff".
Lot's of people: "Good question. Welcome. Here's an answer. Hope you enjoy. Wholesome goodness".
*Complete Direct meltdown continues*
Can't help but to love this thread.
Does anyone know if the Tomodachi team is doing something?

We don't know what that team is working on. Based on the OP, the last game we've seen from them was Samus Returns (co-developed with MercurySteam). I'm sure we'll see a third (or fourth if you count Miitomo) Tomodachi game on the Switch at some point.
Here's something interesting. Hiroyuki Kubota, the director for all the Mario & Luigi games up to Dream Team has apparently worked on nothing since Paper Jam in late 2015, where he was co-director.
There was also a pretty high crossover between staff on both remakes. I personally thought they were being made simultaneously and BiS was held off primarily because of scheduling (we saw localized footage almost a year ago).
There was a post about half a year ago how AlphaDream were hiring devs with experienced with Switch, PS4, and mobile development.
We could see something from then again sooner rather than later. It could even end up being multiplatform.

Thanks. I hope they are doing more. Those are great fillers between massive time sinks and Miitopia was a lot more fun than it had right to be :D
It would make sense for them to have worked on both at the same time seeing as it took two years between Paper Jam and Superstar Saga but only one year to Bowser's Inside Story. I don't think them hiring for people with multiplat experience necessarily means something but it would be a big loss for Nintendo.
Yeah, I don't think them hiring for people with PS4/Mobile experience means anything either. I just view it as them looking for people experienced with home consoles and handheld devices, which is exactly what the Switch is.
The main point is that AlphaDream may have been working on something for a while now. The muliplatform statement was just a possibility.
Speculations; we've known that a fourth kit was planned for a long time and we've seen toycons in old videos which never made it in kit 1-3. It's likely that it would release between now and March or April, and they'll probably reveal it a month or two before.
I see lots of new promotion for Luigis mansion !goo research! And coming soon with luigis mansion 3 footage! Is the release date going to be announced soon, is there more new news coming to us DIRECT!!
How would you feel if part of the promotion for this and new labo is a labo vacuum cleaner!! For use in new Mansion?
LM3 should be october, but it probably won't since it seems about ready to launch. It's too bad because there hasn't been a really good halloween seasoned game for awile.
Where are you seeing this? Plus I've said I could see a segment for Luigi's Mansion 3 in the upcoming Direct.
