They better not re-release Skyward Sword. There's no fixing that game.

I hope they make Fi's dialogue even longer.

I'm hopeful we'll see some nice mid level game announced for the first half of 2021 (other than some sort of Zelda collection which feels like a shoe in at this point).

Yeah, with Nintendo it's best to keep expectations in check, but they also did drop announcements of games like Fire Emblem, LA remake, Mario Maker 2 pretty casually during those directs.

When the hell are they going to announce Switch 2? Seems like there's been Super Switch/Switch Pro rumors for years.

I'm assuming it'll launch with BoTW2. So maybe end of the year?

AFAIK with their hardware sales being so high, there's no reason for them to introduce a new system and they keep denying its coming because of this.

Ding ding ding. They can't keep anything in stock here in Japan. No reason to drop any new hardware.

For the record I legit love this song and the music video is peak 80's.

These things are still hard to find at retail. I've been shopping around for one of those Animal Crossing Edition ones, but nobody has them online without mark ups. It's already hard enough for me to choke down the retail price for one of these... $:-\$

Didn't stop them from announcing the DS when the GBA was selling like pancakes

They did drop the new Paper Mario like a month after they first revealed it.

Will the Direct be able to top this announcement?

I'd buy a port Xenoblade Chronicles X. I'm indifferent to XB 1 and 2, but giant robots? Yes please.

Astral Chain - better than most AAA games released in 2019
DAEMON X MACHINA - better than most AAA games released in 2019

As an owner of Nintendo console for the first time in over a decade (last one I owned was a Gamecube that I picked up around the time RE4 came out), I'm finally qualified to say you're wrong. I have these games, I'm playing these games, and I'm enjoying these games, but unless you didn't own an Xbox or PS4, your statement is incorrect. It's likely still incorrect even if you don't own an Xbox or PS4.

DxM is jank. Awesome Japanese mecha jank with Amuro and Char, but to even think about comparing it to a AAA title is laughable.

Astral Chain is a lot of fun, but not even close to the best thing Platinum has made.

Astral Chain is awesome- he's right.

DxM has a PC port that runs better and is the version I'd check out. But yeah, definitely not up there as the best, but still fun.

In 2016, Dee Snider gave magician Criss Angel the rights to use the song as an "anthem" for his HELP (Heal Every Life Possible) charity. "Dee and I have known each other since the 1990s and he was a strong proponent of mine for years. We are both from Long Island, or as we like to think of it, 'Strong Island,' and his record publishing company gave me the rights to the song and it is our anthem for gratis."

What an awesome dude.

What Tasty said. That was also a brand new system, not a "pro" upgrade. Different era, too- the only competition they have for portable gaming now are phones and tablets, which they seem to treat as a separate thing since they also release for mobile.

james · « **Reply #9674 on:** February 17, 2021, 01:47:57 PM »

Honestly a dual screen switch is the only pro version that makes sense

Re: TEH DIRECT

~~My guess is that the game "30XX" will be a surprise release today- it came out on Steam earlier today and was announced as coming to Switch last year.~~

Edit: Early access on Steam. Never mind!

Jesus, Nintendo... I'm trying to find reasons to hate buy a fucking Switch here and there's STILL nothing yet. You already basically killed off Metroid, StarFox and F-Zero.. My hacked WiiU still shits over the the Switch when it comes to first party titles. How is that possible?

I mean, sword fighters aren't really a problem. It's when they're all from one series. Blair, Kyle, Samson, Ghlithta, and Fikolo will get to shine eventually.

This fills a niche
