Hero-of-Time Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) 5 minutes ago, Ronnie said: There's usually a Direct in September I think so I certainly wouldn't be surprised. NSMBU Deluxe seems a good bet, I'll double dip if they included some decent extra content. I remember Kimishima saying that these Wii U ports need to offer something new and not just be a carbon copy of the original so hopefully it's something good. The date of 6th September is being pinned by a few. It will be interesting to see if this turns out to be true. I can't remember people actually pinning down a specific date for one of these before. Sure, they've able able to guess what week one would hit but by the day seems a bit odd. Edited September 4, 2018 by Hero-of-Time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sméagol Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) At the very least there needs to be an announcement for the online services. So there needs to be a video within 2 weeks. Edited September 4, 2018 by Sméagol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindFreak Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Did Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze add anything new? Would be awesome with a new Direct. I would also like to see some big games coming out, though I'm more than enough occupied by the indie yes that are out and coming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killthenet Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Nintendo Life reporting that they've heard rumblings from the source who informed them about the last Nindies direct that there will be a new Direct dropping in the early hours of September 7th for us Europeans (Midnight GMT/1AM CET). It's been a while since we had some late night Nintendo news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grazza Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Midnight? It might be for Senran Kagura and SNK Heroines. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always act like idiots when it comes to Directs. At least on Gaf they used to lock those kinda topics down when they got out of control.

killthenet Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Direct was just confirmed by Nintendo. Will be roughly 35 minutes apparently so a fairly beefy direct, especially if they stick to the pacing of the last couple. It's a 11pm GMT/Midnight CEST on September 6th so a little earlier than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/09/switch_game_cases_will_state_whether_or_not_cloud_saves_are_supported Apparantly developers have to choose to either opt-in or opt-out of cloud saves by ticking a checkbox when submitting their games to Nintendo. So it basically means that every game will support cloud saves unless the developer specifically doesn't want it to be supported with their game...

So it basically means that every game will support cloud saves unless the developer specifically doesn't want it to be supported with their game... So it looks like this really is the case. I mentioned it a couple of weeks ago in the online thread as it was being discussed on NVC. I'm surprised NL have just reported on this now as the info given on NVC is pretty much the exact same info given by this other developer. I don't agree with this approach at all. We are having to pay for cloud saves but now we don't even know if the game saves we want to keep are going to be games that are supported. Every game should be supported. No exceptions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I'm sure 99.99% of games will be. Why wouldn't a developer tick that box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Apparently Nintendo are updating the games section of their website with details of what games aren't supporting cloud saves. So far these have been found. Pokémon Let's Go FIFA 18 FIFA 19 Splatoon 2 Dead Cells Dark Souls Remastered 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 I hope at least one of those is because they forgot to tick the box and Nintendo won't let you change afterwards because let's face it Nintendo would do that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killthenet Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Dead Cells and Dark Souls sort of make sense considering that one is a rogue like and the other is always saving but it's a shame we won't have a way of backing them up. Splatoon doesn't seem to make any sense at all though, I don't play it so don't know but I assume that all the online stuff is saved in the cloud anyway so it seems silly not to allow people to backup their single player campaigns. I think the only previously released games that I want cloud saves for are BOTW, Mario Kart, Odyssey and Football Manager 2018 otherwise I'm not too fussed about backing up any saves. It's disappointing that even FIFA 19 won't offer cloud saves and it would have been nice to have the option to back up Dark Souls characters but I can totally understand why the feature isn't implemented (I assume it's the same for Souls games on other platforms but I've never used cloud saves on PS4 so not something I've ever tried) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for FIFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killthenet Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I think @Ashley is onto something. I bet there was a tick box to include Rick in Smash that Sakurai forgot to tick too, another example of Nintendo's strict rules ruining our potential enjoyment of their games. 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splatoon 2 is the one game I would have expected above all to have cloud saving. As far as I know, your gear, level and rank are not saved to your online account. It's all on your local save. So if you lose that save file for whatever reason, you lose everything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s exactly why they aren’t allowing it for Splatoon 2; it’s to stop people from cheating. What they should’ve done in the first place was to store your online progress, well, online! But because they were dumb enough to store it locally, now they’re stuck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
