Nintendo obviously still wants third party support and there's risk involved with trying to gobble everything up. Mutually beneficial agreements with third parties is a much safer route.
Saying that... if you look at recent software date for Japan/Asia Nintendo definitely doesn't need to drastically increase output to start drowning out other publishers.
Sure, they should just continue doing it and expand the scope of what they do it with.
I'm so excited to see Metroid V and BOTW 2. I could have other grievances or disappointments with the show, but if these two show up in a big way, it's gonna be hard not to get pumped up lol
1.Yes
1a.Yes to software, less so to hardware
2. Plan on purchasing a PS5 when it's a less disgusting colour
If they won't show the Switch Pro what will the third parties do?They will cancel their showings?
It seems so nonsensical not to show it before...

On this topic:
an intresting thing that came out from the last Jeff Grubb stream concerning sony´s communication.
He said that sony may not right now communicate well with gamers, but that it certainly communicates well with other companies ( in this context all the different developers and publishers): " if you do something Sony does not like, like you partner with Microsoft and there was a chance you could have partnered with them(Sony), Sony might retaliate..and a future deal, that you thought could be done with sony, might not happen"( Jeff heard this from different Indie developers and PR people)
Jeff also speculates that this is the reason Elden Ring will not appear on the microsoft show.
Seeing the proprtion of software form japanese developers sold on PS consoles and Xbox consoles, you can see why Sony can throw their weight around.
It is reasonable to assume the same happens with Nintendo if the games in question could be considered interesting for Playstation, so FF Remake is locked with Sony for now and games with no interest for them (Octopath, BDII, Traingle Strategy) are free from this.

They'll likely not change anything
Anyway there's still a week to go
1. Nope, I am always there Day1 on Nintendo and PlayStation. Love my PS5, the DualSense may be my fav controller ever already.
1a. N/A, but hypothetically there's enough to play on either (counting PS4BC) where I could perfectly content being a one platform owner if I wasn't already attached to both ecosystems. I see one of the benefits of having only one current console - it would be a bit easier not to have such a massive backlog when you have wide genre interests.
I have a Switch and a PS5. I didn't have a PS4 so I'm really enjoying the PS+ collection.
But I spend most of my time playing on Switch, I'm a sucker for Ninty exclusives

So if there is a game at the Twickenham, what is your team?
1) yes
1a) yes
2. No. I only really use portables, I rarely sit in front of a tv long enough to make use of a home console. I do have a long list of PS4 stuff I want to check out one day though, I'll keep adding to it and get around to them one day.
Yep, it has been since 2017.
I would say I am satisfied. Joycon drift is a bitch, but the library has been really good. I do long for more big budget AAA games though, which is why the idea of a switch pro excites me.
I don't see myself getting another current gen console anytime soon though. I have friends with those consoles so I get my fill there. PS5 and XBS have some killer games, but nothing worth the huge price of entry yet imo.
Takahashi said the next Xenoblade started production at the same as Xenoblade Definitive Edition (a bit after the release of Torna), so it's very likely releasing within the next year.
We have no clue if it's Xenoblade 3, X2, or a brand new sub title, but a new Xenoblade is imminent. Could see it being announced in the September direct though ! For a March/April/May 2022 release. E3 might be a bit soon to announce it.
What do you guys reckon the chances are that FDC sells well enough that mama Tendo decides to make a third one from scratch?
What strikes me as weird is that Nintendo is going last at E3, so if the Pro announcement ahead of E3 was so third parties could show off their games on it, that would mean they would be showing footage before Nintendo. I would think Nintendo would be the first to show off games on their own hardware. Now the third party running on Pro stuff could be in the Direct or in the Treehouse but if that's the case, then Nintendo would be the ones presenting the third party games.
The Direct is done. They are not adding in or removing footage at this point. They could show them during Treehouse but the schedule is probably mostly set in stone now as well. So what's my point? It's either that the Pro announcement was never scheduled to happen before E3 or if it, I don't think it's likely we should see Pro footage at third party presentations ahead of Nintendo's.

This was posted on the Discord, you all need to watch it, it's absolutely bonkers. E3 already started.
We might not get base Switch versions of Borderlands 3 or Life is Strange 3. This E3 we might get fewer third party announcement if Switch Pro is a no show.
That's interesting and definitely goes along with some stuff we've seen in recent years, like the NISA debacle or the comments from CyberConnect 2.
I also thought it was interesting that the poster that was talking about the FF spinoff said something along the lines "it will be obvious which Square Enix games Sony does and doesn't care about".
There's already a (shorter) third one, which released on the Satellaview. Ayumi is the protagonist in that one. I expect it to be remade. A brand new 4th one is the dream though !
No one teased Switch Pro exclusive ports on E3. Quite the contrary, actually.
No one should tease Switch Pro ports. All we have are leaks for couple of games but no info on where they're releasing on. Borderlands and Life is Strange 3 could be Switch Pro ports, especially LiS3 Switch version was mysteriously missing from the initial announcement.
Early contender for best trailer of E3
This had me laughing so hard x) I wanna see more of this!
LMAO what the hell is this? It looks amazing and horrific all at once
WTF 😳
Interesting. I thought that was a spin-off for some reason. But I really liked the games on Switch (never played them earlier) and it would be nice if the project was successful enough to warrant new entries.
1. I consider Switch in the same "current gen" as PS5 and XSX so no, Switch is the only one. For last gen I have a PS4, 3DS XL and Wii U.
1a. Yeah. I don't have time for everything I have (or want) for Switch, PS4 and Steam so a new system is out of the question right now.
2. Same as 1a.
So it's Pokémon meets Harvest Moon and Rune Factory + building sim + Digimon fusions but it's also a first person shooter and it's called PALWORLD?
I'm in.
Oh a cute Pokémon inspired title looks—*sees guns*
oh. I'm sorry what?
oh my god i can't even
at first i was like "this doesn't seem so weird"
and then it got weird
They made a Pokémon clone based on what PETA said Pokémon was and I'm all for it.
Life is Strange 3 can easily run on base Switch, especially since the remasters are using the same tech and engine. Borderlands 3 though....
Lol at budget Zebstrika, Lyncaroc, Final Fantasy's Leviathan, Megaman Battle Network's Mettaur and whitewashed Nessa lmao
Palworld is more or less a sequel to this already bonkers game by the same studio, featuring bootleg BOTW2's Zelda. (You'll notice the reuse of Akira's bike shot reference in both games' trailers lmao, incredible)
It was Mages, the studio behind the remakes, who went to Nintendo to greenlight the remakes, so I'm sure they're willing to continue working on those, and Sakamoto probably still is a big fan of this franchise of his and would love to see new releases, I'm sure we'll see more of it in the future ! Sakamoto definitely seems to me like a producer who really care about his franchises, given how his games have always been on the weird/niche side of Nintendo's outputs.
That swing axe animation. Lol
core crystals? Daruk's protection? Shield deflection? Paraglider? Damn sure is inspired lol.
holy hell, those poor cows!
Feels like they asked a bunch of 10 year old kids what their favorite game is and just mashed it all in a single game
1. No
1a. Yes very much.
2. I do own a launch PS5 but haven't played it since January. Only ever used it to play immortals and Astrobot. If not for Netflix it would be collecting dust. Just decided to sell it off because I realised I completely fell of stationary gaming.
■ Survival
- This world is full of dangers such as food shortages, harsh weather, and illegal poachers. You must be prepared to do anything if you want to survive. You may even need to consume Pals sometimes...
■ Building
- Do you want to build a pyramid? You can have a large number of Pals work on the construction. Don't worry; labor laws won't be applied to Pals.
■ Factory and Automation
- It is essential for automation to let Pals do the manual work. Build a factory and place Pals in it. They will work forever as long as they're fed until the end of their lifetime.
■ Dungeon Exploration
- With Pals, you'll be safe in dangerous areas. If you are in danger, you use Pals to cover your escape! They'll give their lives to protect you.
■ Poaching and Crime
- Endangered species Pals live in the hunting prohibited area. If you sneak in and catch them, you'll get tons of money! It's only illegal if you get caught.
MY FUCKING SIDES
This is unironically my most hyped 2022 game, see you after becoming Pokémon's Henry Ford
It starts as a simple BOTW and Monster Hunter bootleg, but suddenly the protagonist rides a buggy, jump out of it to let it explode to blow ennemies, and then there's a tank, you send cows to death at an industrial pace, and it ends with a rocket flying to space, this is insane yeah lmao
Still think the bootleg Pokémon first being shown as cute animal friends helping you in a war, for then seeing them being actually forced to labor, takes the cake for me.
This is stupid as hell but incredibly ambitious, I legit love it lmao
