Really excited about F-Zero 99. My brother and I were just playing the SNES version not too long ago and I love the Tetris 99 game.

 

[Nydius]

Nintendo just straight shitting on F-Zero fans at this point. It’s been 20 years since GX, we’ve been asking for a new game since the midpoint of the Wii’s lifespan. A shitty battle royale mode of the ancient SNES game that is locked behind NSO is the best thing they can do?

They can remaster everything else but F-Zero GX gets shoved in a box and forgotten? Fuck outta here.

The only thing this direct illustrates is that, outside of Super Mario Wonder, my switch will continue to collect dust.

 

[NanaMiku]

Pretty happy with Another Code announcement. The developer was bankrupt at 2010.

 

[Elder Legend]

Guess it will be a seperate direct for switch 2. Still expect it this year, probably next month based on the history of the world. (unless switch 2 isn't coming out next March)

Switch 2 won't be coming March 2024. They have too many titles releasing already for the Switch from now till April. Switch 2 is a 2024 Holiday thing.

 

[Sojiro]

Probably the weakest direct I can remember, but I think it's fine if Nintendo is starting to slow it's pipeline of current switch games to hold for the successor. Probably a 5/10 for me, looking forward to: Splatoon DLC, Hundred Heroes, Paper Mario, Unicorn Overlord, Peach Showtime, Fzero 99 from this direct. Not a lot, but a few good things in there.

 

[Party McHardy]

Dregs.

 

[AJUMP23]

Contra Remake should be a fun 10 minutes.

 

[Porcile]

Man the Switch has been a great system but it is absolutely cooked now. Maybe the only console in history where the games released 6 years after launch look worse than the ones at launch.

 

[Codes 208]

Lol, next September at the earliest is the only answer.

They already announced a mario bundle for the holidays, why would they announce a new console right afterwards?

 

[BlackTron]

Guess it will be a seperate direct for switch 2.

LOL

 

[Sojiro]

Contra Remake should be a fun 10 minutes.

Way forward having their hand in it gives me hope, but fuck me did a lot of the backgrounds look abysmal. Hopefully it gets some polish before release.

 

[NanaMiku]

If they're gonna announce Switch 2, I hope they just put a trailer without any announcement, just like Switch

 

[jufonuk]

Summer 2024 would be good.

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

-Okay so thousand year door = awesome
-I like that new peach game where she has to save a play from shutting down also
-vanilla wear game looks great. Unicorn Dildo or something, hopefully sorceress from dragon's crown will make a guest appearance?
-super mario rpg looking like it will be great
-Actually kind of want another code collection
-little bit intrigued by wartales. like the genre, which they mashing up a bit and visuals have a grounded, playing it straight vibe
-Mario 35 was incredible. I Love that game. Not as crazy about F-zero but certainly interested in F-Zero 99

...but...Funky Kong ruins everything

 

[AV]

People are smoking crack if they think the Switch 2 is coming out next March.

 

[BlackTron]

I thought the biggest news for me would be the changed mechanics in Mario RPG, but then I saw Unicorn Overlord. Well hot damn an actually hype new ass game

Anyway Switch 2 will be revealed between March and June and launched September-November. Bookmark this post if you want you guys are silly

Switch 2 is going to be revealed this winter and launched in April or May.

 

[keefged4]

30fps ttyd lol. Pish. No GX remaster? Fuck off Nintendo. Definately one of the weaker directs in a long time.

 

[Banjo64]

Nothing for me apart from F-Zero99.

 

[NanaMiku]

Huh, still no separated trailers from Nintendo JP. Probably they gonna do it tomorrow morning

Yeah, I think the upcoming game releases points at after next summer.

 

[Kamina]

Not even Metroid Prime 2 Remake

 

[Jsisto]

Fuck yeah! I feel like we might be entering a revival period of the classic turn based rpg. I’m so over the mmo style rpgs that seem to have dominated the last decade and a half or so. Sega needs to rerelease/remaster Skies of Arcadia. It’s been way too long.

 

[LordCBH]

Day fucking ONE for Thousand Year Door. Hopefully it sells a lot and nintendo realizes THIS is the style paper Mario should have.

Though let’s be real. If it sells a lot, they’ll go “people love paper Mario!” And then shit out another Sticker Star as a new game and then go “why people not like this?”

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Not even Metroid Prime 2 Remake

That would be AWESOME

 

[Raven77]

This is the most end of console life cycle presentation I've ever seen.

Switch 2 announcement at some point in the next 6 months and a release likely before the end of 2024 is all but guaranteed now.

On the other hand, it's good that it has such proximity to SMRPG. I see it feasible that the SNES remake beats it in sales and puts a black and white statement in their face

 

[Thaedolus]

F Zero looks like some silly fun, I’m in

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Not my type of game

That was already guaranteed lol. Only question anybody had was "will they reveal this year or next year" and "will they launch early next year or late next year".

 

[Shifty1897]

It's very clear Nintendo is just trying to bide time while it readies a launch lineup for Switch 2 next fall. A lot of remakes and remasters this year.

Unicorn Overlord, Paper Mario TTYD, and F-Zero 99 for me.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

oh yeah Mio Amiibo

that's great

 

[shamoomoo]

People are smoking crack if they think the Switch 2 is coming out next March.

What's stopping them from releasing it then? I really don't understand why gaming companies want to maximize their potential profit but choosing holidays,most hatdcore gamers are still going to cop a system whenever it drops.

 

[Jsisto]

Also rpg fans, Baten Kaitos collection released today. Another amazing turn based rpg series.

 

[Banjo64]

Song of Nunu - anyone got any thoughts? Looked good to me but no idea who the dev is.

 

[NanaMiku]

Song of Nunu - anyone got any thoughts? Looked good to me but no idea who the dev is.

From googling: Tequila Works. They made Sexy Brutale and Rime

 

[Exede]

OK... Metroid Prime 4 is now a Switch 2 Titel, right?

 

[Woopah]

Remakes uh, I havent bought a game for it besides TOTK since Bowsers Fury which was attached to a port. Or should I count the half baked Pokemon games and Xenoblade/FE/Splatoon/Farm spam. Maybe the DLC for a wii u mario kart game should count, one of the tracks is a bathroom.

Well surely all the well reviewed games released in recent years would count?

On what system

Answered your own question. Your potential base of customers is largest for Christmas, and want to maximize efficiency of your advertising and software drops, so you time and align it all carefully. Same reason they finish games and sit on them for the right time to release instead of just send it out as soon as its ready. There are a lot more factors into it

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Nothing there for me unfortunately. I’m pretty sure my daughter will enjoy playing the Princess Peach game though so will pick that up next year.

 

[BlackTron]

I'm really hyped for this Vanillaware game, are they the last dev that can get me excited with a super anime artstyle and a title that has Unicorn in it?

 

[balls of snow]

Time to sell my oled switch is what im seeing here.

 

[NanaMiku]

On what system

Switch only. I guess it's because of Monolith Soft game. Similar case to Project X Zone. Only on 3DS because the developer is Monolith Soft.

 

[Elder Legend]

I'm really hyped for this Vanillaware game, are they the last dev that can get me excited with a super anime artstyle and a title that has Unicorn in it?

Same here. I always loved their games. I wish they'd re-release Dragon's Crown, Aegis Rim and Odin Sphere on PS5. A tactical fantasy RPG was not something I expected them to announce so it was a cool surprise. I was wondering what their next game was and here it is lol.

There is something magical about Vanillaware's art style.

 

[saintjules]

Why are people so confident in F-Zero showing up in this direct? and how do any of y'all know it's gonna be anything good?

Hmmm.

 

[IDKFA]

Switch 2 won't be coming March 2024. They have too many titles releasing already for the Switch from now till April. Switch 2 is a 2024 Holiday thing.

Agreed. They'll announce it around March time and release it around the back end of 2024.

 

[amigastar]

Tomb Raider I-III is really nice, never played the originals for very long.
