Psst, rumours swirling round the toilet bowl suggest that we’re getting announced this E3... You didn’t hear it from me

Oh, we finally have a release date? Thought this thing would never come out! Looks really cool though. I'm always game for anything neat and novel

Well that didn't take long! https://www.resetera.com/threads/e3s-media-portal-is-a-mess-this-year.438145/ The ESA fucked up and leaked everyone's personal info... AGAIN!!! Like... how!? How can you keep making the same fucking mistake over and over again!?!? Also... to make things even worse and even more unprofessional... Some fuckwad at the ESA thought that it'd be a swell idea to introduce quests and achievements on the bloody press page!!! Jesus fucking wept! Just shut the whole fucking thing down

Oh I’ll be in fo sho! I’m sure I can come up with some dumb stuff

I just want the original NES/SNES ROMs re-released, untouched and untainted, with high quality emulation; along with new localisations for FF2-5 (leave FF6’s script alone; Woolsey’s original script is way better than the modern redo). I don’t trust modern day S-E with anything else (Though I’d love to see faithful HD2D remakes that don’t muck around with the original gameplay; I don’t trust modern day S-E to deliver on that front).

Same developer company

OMG!! I can’t believe that they’re bringing back Raven Blade!! Can’t wait!

The Wii Sports Resort stamps are NOT extrinsic motivation though. They are part of the game itself. They aren’t an external reward that you can show off; they don’t add to an external scoring system, separate from the game itself. It’s that separation that Miyamoto is against; and it’s that separation that makes them so incredibly manipulative & dangerous.

We also got Good Job, Sushi Striker (3DS port, but it still counts) and Part-Time-UFO. Guess you can also kinda count Miitopia since the original 3DS version came out after the Switch console itself did.

Babylon’s Fall is still alive!?!?

I bet that Microsoft’s next acquisition is hidden in that background

This is precisely why Nintendo doesn’t have them. Miyamoto in particular had been outspoken about his disdain for the use of extrinsic motivation in games... That being said, that was Iwata’s Nintendo... Those days are sadly gone now; so I wouldn’t be surprised if this stance ends up being eroded away as the shareholders continue to get what they want out of Nintendo.

They've definitely done some deliberate false advertising here... Literally nothing in this image is truthful They definitely sold some cheeky early PS5s off the back of misrepresentation. They let Microsoft take the press hit for the sin of being honest about their strategy. While Microsoft got raked over the coals for promoting crossgen support, Sony got away with not only doing the exact same thing; but with blatantly lying about it too.

And I believe that Sony are filthy two-faced liars

Oh, and God of War Ragnarok & Gran Turismo 7 have also been confirmed as PS4 cross-gen titles too. They'll also be getting PS4 releases. Not surprised at all regarding GOW, but I am surprised that GT7 is also a PS4 game for some odd reason. Edit: GOW Ragnarok has also been delayed till 2022...

It's been rumoured for so long that it's really now or never. It's been 4 years since Samus Returns came out. It's time.

The right answer is all of them, but Xenoblade 1&2 are especially in dire need of the boost (Xenoblade 1 is such a shoddy port that it barely looks better than the Wii original at all!). Bowser’s Fury’s performance is also dreadful on the current Switch; and is barely playable at all in handheld mode. Well below the standard I’d expect from Nintendo.

Touché. They were shorter than I remembered! All the more reason why it could go on longer. They don’t need to clear the floor for anyone else. So 3 hours is very short indeed. Makes me think that they’ve got something they want to demonstrate in detail in particular, rather than new post-Direct reveals and drawn out gameplay sessions. Might not be a bad thing mind you.

Isn’t Kecleon naked anyway? You’ve been doing it all along!

40 mins for the main event is pretty short for an E3 Direct... Likewise, 3 hours is VERY short for a Treehouse Live... Doesnt bode well

Seriously though, this is really cool! I hope that they house their pre-video game stuff there as well! (Come on! Show off your Love Hotel and Yakuza Hanafuda card stuff!) Oh and design documents! We know they still have everything! I'd LOVE to be able to view the original design docs for things like Super Mario Bros and Earthbound!

Finally a reality!
