gaming Nintendo Direct September 4th

[Luigi 7,869]

Hi everypony

It seems that tomorrow at 3 PM PST/6 PM EST we have a Nintendo Direct that will be about 40 minutes long, and promises coverage of Pokemon Sword and Shield, Luigi’s Mansion 3, and a few other titles coming for the Nintendo Switch. What else does everypony think may be broadcast during the direct? The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2? Super Smash Bros Ultimate? Feel free to share thoughts down below, and I’ll see you all there tomorrow

[Will Guide 21,360]

Wait, there's another Nintendo Direct happening? Oh yes!

It'd be nice to what other new features will be in Animal Crossing New Horizons.

hmmm i might be a first time watcher lol  :3

Not expecting much here. They said Pokemon will be a focus and I am already so over these new entries.

[Cash In 22,345]

Huh, didn't expect this. Hope we get more Pokémon details.

It'll focus on Luigi's Mansion 3 and that's about it. Maybe small details on other things. 

[Megas 27,653]

I'm open to Overwatch on Switch and I'll probably get but honestly I'd be much more interested in a CoD rerelease on Switch, even if it's an older game/

I have no idea what else to expect as there's already a lot of Link's Awakening, Daemon X Machina and Luigi's Mansion, so I wonder about what new games they have

Spoiler

Also I welcome Terry Bogard for the Smash Fighter pass with open arms

I wonder what they're going to show here because even though a lot of it doesn't interest me, they have quite a packed line-up until December.

SNES on the NSO seems pretty likely. I don't really care. SNES games aren't much more exciting to me than NES games. SNES games a year after launching the service is just a piss-poor low bar (which, let me remind everyone that the Switch as a whole is two and a half years old now, which makes this so much worse). I know so many people would be so excited to see SNES, but at this point it's too little too late.

I think it's pretty likely we won't see Animal Crossing. I hope I'm wrong. I'd give it a 50-50 on that. We definitely won't see Breath of the Wild 2. That's far out in the future.

Pokemon and Luigi's Mansion 3 are the two most exciting 2019 titles IMO, so I'm glad the focus is on them. I'm still not happy with so many aspects of Sword/Shield, but the Galarian forms have at least made me interested in seeing more of them.

The leaked company for the SSB DLC character is very unexciting to me. I'm pretty sure I've never played or even had the interest in playing any game from that company. Joker was random (although I like him, because I played Persona 5), but the other two DLC characters have earned their spot. This one just seems random. But I don't know anything about the company... I just wish SSB wasn't becoming the irrelevant to Nintendo third party fest it is nowadays.

I always have my pipe dream announcements - a new Paper Mario in the style of the first two, or some form of Golden Sun revival (more significant than a port). But they're pipe dreams. And I probably mention them every time, because nothing ever happens, of course.

I'm really hoping for some new Animal Crossing: New Horizons info!!  I totally forgot they were going to have a Direct today, thanks for the reminder!!!

[Will Guide 21,360]

I can play as the Bear and Bird Duo on a Nintendo System for the first time in nearly 20 years later today?! Yes!

And they're might be more DLC Fighters coming to Smash? Something to potentially surprise me...

[Will Guide 21,360]

So

Spoiler

Super Nintendo Games are coming to Nintendo Switch Online.

I had a feeling it would come sooner or later. It was simply a matter of being patient.

I'm waiting for N64 games to come to the switch, just so I can play BattleTanx: Global Assault again.

Also...  Seeing that new Sweet sweet Animal Crossing news was great, totally worth it!!!

Can't wait to play it!!  Already have an idea on how I want my Villager to look!  The new pokemon info was awesome too, I like the new camping feature!!!

[Luigi 7,869]

Animal Crossing does look great, but Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition is the best part for me

[Envy 6,168]

Animal Crossing looks great. Not much new was revealed, but what was revealed at E3 already makes it amazing. It was certainly nice to see it!

Otherwise, not too much exciting. More SSBU DLC after the fighter's pass has the potential to be exciting. Although the fighter's pass choices doesn't really lend me too much confidence in who they'll choose. For the love of god, please give us some first party Nintendo characters.

[Megas 27,653]

I've low-key always wanted Terry Bogard in Smash, but never expected it to happen. To see it here really warms my heart

Was a solid Direct, though not as great as the last one. There was still some great announcements, like Xenoblade 1 getting remade(though it shouldn't have closed the show), Jedi Outcast getting a rerelease, the Deadly Premonition games and Town

Also, shit they managed Sans too!

[Cash In 22,345]

Animal Crossing footage was neat, but the Banjo gameplay has me sold. Also, Terry Bogard is an insanely good addition and I'll take that to my grave.

[Troblems 5,617]

Little Town Hero looks rad.

Obra Dinn. If you haven’t played it yet, you need to.

GOOSE!

One of my favorite games is finally getting rereleased on the Switch. It languished on the WiiU because it wasn’t what was promised, and it came out at the end of the lifecycle. Also weird censorship. Great memes from that censorship, though. I’m so freakin hype. 

Oh yeah, Animal Crossing is cool too. But Tokyo Mirage Sessions! Now that is something special. <3

[Here No Longer 5,276]

Am I the only one who really doesn't care about Sans in Smash at all?

 

But Banjo's honestly looking pretty good. He has a really, really good recovery and fairly decent projectiles. FSmash and Up Smash are both pretty solid, though his jab is terrible and his jumps without up B are not that great. Seems like the first balanced character introduced into the game DLC-wise.

The game has an interesting premise, but I can tell that the artstyle would be too hard on my eyes. =/

Might this game appeal to me as someone who played and enjoyed Persona 5?

I was interested in months ago, but when I saw the trailer and the idol stuff I was kind of like "meh", but I'm not closing my mind to the game completely because of that, as I'm interested in playing other Atlus games after liking Persona 5.

I've never played Undertale, but I'm not too bothered by the addition. He's just a Mii costume, which will appease the fans of the series (somewhat? I don't know, people seem excited) while not even taking up a slot. I mean the character he comes with is Banjo & Kazooie. Who can complain about that? Not even me, and I've never played a Banjo game in my life. lol

You can shift the color scheme of Obra Dinn. It’ll still be monochromatic, but less harsh. I can post screenshots later, but it won’t be for hours, and I may forget. 

I bought Tokyo Mirage Sessions to hold me over until Persona 5 came out, as I had already played 3 and 4 about as much as humanly possible, and ended liking it so much more. I really did like Persona 5, it was a lot of fun, but anyone I can get to even consider TMS#FE I consider a win. I’m hoping it’s uncensored this time, and maybe a soundtrack to go with it.
