Posted September 4, 2019 While I think there will be a lot of expectations going into this Direct, I'm going to make a prediction that is slightly more reasonable. A bunch of JRPG trailers or trailers for anime style games will be shown that confuse some people, 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 4, 2019 Hasn’t it been a year or so since Switch Online launched? They really need to announce something that gets people to sign up for another year, most people will say SNES games, but I think it’ll be more likely another freebie online title like Tetris 99. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saying that, the E3 presentation this year was exceptional and the Switch is on fire, so let’s see. I'd be wary watching anything from them in regards to Directs. A couple of them, if not all of them, do know what is coming a lot of the time and they tend to hint/spoil stuff in these types of videos. It still baffles me that Nintendo air the Directs early for people and then they expect them to keep their mouths shut, which history has proven never really works. 15 hours ago, Ganepark32 said: I've seen a lot of talk about people wanting GameCube games on the Switch and I'd love to see it. Would love another chance to play things like Baten Kaitos again, and with Nintendo and Bandai Namco working closely as of late surely they can sort out the licencing there to make it happen even as a remaster as that would be a fantastic announcement. It's unlikely but I'd love that to happen, alongside remasters of other GameCube games. What are people's thoughts on this happening for the Switch? Too many other games announced and in the works already or space to bring some if them forward? Make it happen, Nintendo! 3 hours ago, Dog-amoto said: Hasn’t it been a year or so since Switch Online launched?

Yeah, it's nearly the 1 year anniversary for the service. SNES games have to be a given at this point. I imagine, if the leaked carry case is true, they will push that game as a big release and an incentive for people to sign up or keep their subscriptions. I'm honestly not sure whether to keep mine going. With Monster Hunter done and dusted I don't play with my Switch online at all. The SNES games would be a nice addition but it's a library I own on other systems and have played to death. I'd much rather have GBA games. Nintendo are a bit like Sega in this regard. They keep revisiting the same old generations when they really should be focusing on stuff that hasn't been re-released before, like GameCube games.

Yeah, I don't get why they do this either. They don't even show members of the media the full Direct, so it's not like they can even get articles up and ready in advance, to post right after the broadcast, because they're only shown snippets of it Anywho, I suppose Mario Sunshine HD could be one of the two remasters that are supposed to be announced tonight... but my money is on Metroid Prime Trilogy HD personally. It was supposed to come out all the way back in February, so it's well overdue by now! (Full disclosure, I only know one of the two remasters). Spoiler It's Pikmin 3 DX Edited September 4, 2019 by Dcubed 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That and another one have been touted as a question of not if they will come out but rather of when they will come out. 8 minutes ago, Dcubed said: Yeah, I don't get why they do this either.

If they were having hands on with the games then it would make sense because they need time to write about their impressions of the games. If all the articles are just a summary of what was on the Direct, which is what most of them seem to be, then I really don't understand the idea behind this, especially when most people these days are more interested in reaction videos rather than the written word. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Based on my own experience? What Nintendo UK do at least is that whenever they hold a press event at their Windsor HQ that comes shortly before a Direct is that they show a small section of the Direct that is related to what they're demoing (and sometimes just a random bit of the Direct). I don't get it either. It doesn't really help anyone involved and it just makes stuff more likely to leak Edited September 4, 2019 by Dcubed 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 4, 2019 I'm just going to say i'm dreading the number of titles to be announced / revealed / have solid dates announced. Won't be able to catch it live this time unfortunately, I'll probably get home when it's about to end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 4, 2019 It's good that they're selling the controllers individually this time, think I will probably pick one up. Very happy that they aren't charging extra for the SNES games, would have sucked if they'd split it into more tiers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
