>>732150442I don't recall it was confirmed it was a general Direct or a partner one, but I don't care either way.I will not deny that I'm more into third-parties than Nintendo games though.

>>732149925this
>>732151280Why would they announce a new 2D Mario when they have the Wonder port coming out. lol we wont get a new one for probably 2 or 3 years.
Quarterly financial reports are tonight in the US/tomorrow afternoon in Japan) so I doubt they'll announce a direct right on top of it.I expect it later in the month, to give it some time before Pokemon Day.
>>732149563I hope this is an actual thread, Splatoon Raiders got a trademark publication date of February 17, this could mean the Partner direct this week and general the 17 info is right

No Fzero GX HD remaster. No Timesplitters HD Collection.I must say very fucking based for mentioning timesplitters however none of this will happen because its a partner direct
>>732149563What time?
>HopesXenoblade series Switch 2 patches>fearsXenoblade series Switch 2 paid patches
>>732149728Partner direct. You’re getting none of that kek.
>>732150862>I will not deny that I'm more into third-parties than Nintendo games thoughWhy the hell do you have a Nintendo console then? You could play much better versions of those games on release instead of years later elsewhere. There's absolutely no reason to ever buy a 3rd party game on a Nintendo platform and even less reasons to deliberately buy a Nintendo console to only play 3rd parties.
>>732149563All i care about is rayman 30th anniversary everything else is a bonus
>>732153673You are the target audience for the Legends remake
>>732153587>Why the hell do you have a Nintendo console then? You could play much better versions of those games on release instead of years later elsewhere. There's absolutely no reason to ever buy a 3rd party game on a Nintendo platform and even less reasons to deliberately buy a Nintendo console to only play 3rd parties.Really? cause I got hades 2 and silksong and they run the same across the board. So I got them on switch.
>>732152354I really hope it's only a normal direct for the 17th, so once again everyone shit on "leakers".
>partner direct Lmfaooo tendies collecting L’s like Mario collects bing bings.
>>732151537>No Fzero GX HD remasterThat died when they announced the Gamecube app with it as one of the launch games
>>732154468This may come as a surprise, but getting games on your console is actually a desirable thing.
>>732153968>hades 2 and silksongWell, fair enough with those 2 I guess, but they're 2D games. Literally anything can run them. Anything more demanding is better played literally anywhere else.
>>732154617>here are some 4 year old games released for full priceNice winning cultist.
>>732149563You' ll get nothing and WHAT you get will be shit.
>>732149563>partner directmy expectation is that it's 90% shovelware.The fear is that it's 100% shovelware.
>>732149563>Hopes?That it isn't a fucking Partner Showcase. Not what we need right now, we need first party announcements stat>Dreams?Xenoblade performance patches, teaser for new Monolithsoft game, new Kid Icarus (or an Uprising port), 3D Mario. Would be the creamiest Nintendo Direct ever>Fears?Xenoblade 2 censorship via the update or NS2 editionNo tentpole announcements
>>732154617>getting games on your console is actually a desirable thingWhen those are modern games that run as well as on other platforms, yes, but when they're half-a-decade old ports that run worse than on other platforms, that's not exactly a win.
>>732150207he's indian it's already tuesday for him
>>732149563I want a huge shitstorm online so just announce everything. If it's coming, just announce it in this one direct and it's 3 hours long. Just trailer after trailer. Final message is from Hiroshi Yamauchi, he's actually alive like Saburo Arasaka and he says something in Japanese, no translation. Then laughing.
>>732149563My only Hope is that this is all a Dream, but I Fear it really is a shitty Partner Direct and not a regular Direct
>>732149563Why bother? It's all going to be key cards and botched rereleases because devs can't optimize for shit.
>>732149563>HopesRayman>DreamsThe 30th anniversary edition is more than the first game and includes the trilogy and multiple versions of each>FearsLegends remake and only Rayman 1 for the 30th anniversary edition
>>732149563>Hopes?EO6>Dreams?EO6>Fears?EO6 but it's ASS
>>732154863The fuck does that make me a cultist for?Theres guys above talking about hades and silksong, games which came out first on switch
Genuinely, what the fuck is Nintendo doing? they need to put out the heavy hitters, a bunch of literal who farming sims you can find on steam isn't going to help them, I know they want to keep indies happy with these kinds of showcases but that's not what they need right now.
>>732149563Doom The Dark ages.
>>732155352Doesn't FF7 run better than on PS4?
>>732155924The problem is that the competition is so shit that they don't have to do anything
>>732149563>Hopes?new games announced, duskbloods reveal date>Dreams?actual exclusives>Fears?it's 99% ports and comfy farm sims for girls
>>732156220the ps4 is 12 years old, it would be sad if it didn't run it better since the switch 2 can use dlss.
>>732155924Why you acting like they've seen the direct already lol
Are there any wii/wii u ports you want for switch 1 before nintendo introduces wii NSO?
>>732156392>Partner DirectHe pretty much has
>>732156220The texture quality is much better than PS4 and the fuzzy hair problem has been fixed but otherwise it's on par or worse than PS4.Bit of an embarassing port to be honest, it isn't an open world game, it's a corridor JRPG with static bitmap skyboxes.
>>732149563>anons ITT expecting 1st party games on a partner showcase
>>732156570It doesn't make any sense, every company wants to be on NS2 now
>>732149563>DreamsChrono Trigger Reimagined
>>732156609PS4 look way worse than NS2 version
>>732149563>Announcement tomorrowProof?
>>732149563>partner showcase
>>732156759Hence why I said that the texture quality is much better. It's still a poor port in other areas, such as performance.
>>732149563Nintendo should give people a reason to sell their PS5 or Xbox Series. That should be the goal of this Direct.
I'm convinced Furukawa wants to smear "Directs" as a concept just to drop them and feed us news through that one phone app Nintendo has. That's why we get those dogshit movie, indie, and one game focused directs in recent years.
>>732156912What "other" areas bro? I haven't seen even the Nintendo haters say anything negative about the port
>>732156693NTA but the problem is obviously that because it's a new system, most of the announcements are most likely going to be devs playing catch up by porting old games which is just not exciting in the slightest. Anything bigger from a bigger publisher is more likely to be announced at the rumored State of Play next week if it's a multiplat and basically every game released these days is a multiplat.
Things I want that are realistic:>The Orbitals>Metaphor>DuskbloodsThings I want that are unlikely:>Xenosaga remastersThings I hope that are pure cope:>Xenogears port
>>732155924It’s the inverse of the switch. With that they had to support it with a bunch of their own games cause no company wanted to touch them with a 10-foot pole. Now that everyone’s wanting to hop on they can let their own game development take a backseat while 3rd-parties supplement the system. Not to mention the backwards compatibility and switch 2 upgrades also doing a lot of the heavy lifting
>>732157052>and basically every game released these days is a multiplat.It's not as common now, but there are 3rd Party exclusives still. Some could get announced or refocused on, during a Partner Direct.
>>732156943Even by "Nintendo upper management making objectively terrible business decisions" standards, that would be a particularly disastrous and shortsighted strategy, and they have the raw data to prove it.Directs are so synonymous with Nintendo marketing to such an extreme that everyone calls the Sony / Xbox presentations "Directs" offhandedly. It's up to an hour of free advertising for whatever Nintendo wants, with everyone tuned in to watch AT ONCE, every single time. This creates even more buzz as the reverb of everyone reacting at the same time means the effective marketing reach is multiplied.Wanting to cull Directs in favor of a smartphone app that most people who download it won't even check daily and almost assuredly never at the same time, is pure madness.
Every single partner direct has been nothing but somehow every single time people are surprised by this
>>732157052>NTA but the problem is obviously that because it's a new system, most of the announcements are most likely going to be devs playing catch up by porting old games which is just not exciting in the slightest.I see a lot of people who think this but in reality most companies would port the latest games rather than old games. Rockstar for example could port RDR2/GTA 6 at the same time and hand GTA 5 off to some porting company to handle that because they're not gonna give out 6 to anybody else in fear of leaks. We've already basically seen this with Pragmata, RE9, ACS, Outlaws. I think it's partly because they want to port the latest engine or something
>>732154564So many other Nintendo games received a remake you could purchase to show your support, some people didn’t even ask for them, they just happened. Even the likes of Advance Wars, Another Code and Super Mario RPG. F-Zero absolutely deserved a physical GX Remaster.
>>732149563I'm not really expecting anything. I just want to see NDSfags seethe. If GTA6 gets announced, it may break the whole internet.
The biggest problem with game key cards is that the Switch 2 doesn’t have enough digital storage to be able to hold all of these files. That’s why I really hope third parties stop with the game key card shit.
>>732157485Switch 2 is already struggling with games from the PS4 generation and there are people who ACTUALLY think GTA 6 will be ported? No chance. It's going to be performing at a wavering 25-30fps on modern hardware and probably have 20 second load times to boot. Imagine trying to port that to NS2.
>>732156943The smartphone app is really only a thing because Nintendo fucking hates social media (especially twitter) and wants to control the narrative surrounding their games. They only want people to interact with their products and marketing in ways they determine to be "safe" for the brand; everything they do that falls outside those bounds is entirely out of necessity in the digital landscape. If they could get away with not using YouTube and simply have everyone tune into their Nintendo Today streams, they would.
>>732157213>It's not as common now, but there are 3rd Party exclusives still.They're pretty few and far between, at most it's just timed exclusivity. Even Nioh 3 might end up on Switch 2 or Xbox, pic related is from the last trailer a few days ago. I'm not saying that it's impossible that some cool games get announced at the third party direct but I wouldn't go in expecting anything super interesting. I'd rather go in expecting nothing and then be pleasantly surprised when I'm wrong, especially after the last direct when I expected something cool and it was dogshit.>>732157485>I see a lot of people who think this but in reality most companies would port the latest games rather than old games. If it's not a brand new announcement, I'm simply not excited for it because I'm not Japanese so I'm an idort and not a slave to a single ecosystem. I don't care if they announce a Nioh 3 Switch 2 port will release in 6 months other than some cheeky shitposting that'll be fun for 30 minutes because I'll be playing the PC version in a few days. If the show isn't showing me new releases, it can fuck off. Like 80% of new games shown in these shows already don't appeal to me, I don't want to have to sit through trailers for things like MHW or DD2 that I can already play or have played.
>>732152354God please let there be an actual direct after the shartner one. There’s no way nintendo is just going to intentionally pull a WiiU all over again and NOT make games for… reasons, right?
>>732156943
>>732157674Rockstar would lose billions if they miss out on NS2, never happening.
I'm hoping something like Ace Attorney new game and One piece World Seeker Or something new Warriors, any chance of one of those things?
>>732157674>there are people who ACTUALLY think GTA 6 will be ported?tbf if anyone could do it would be rockstar norththey have all the resources in the world to do this
>>732157915It’ll probably just be Hyrule Warriors DLC honestly.
Just some cool new exclusives, really. I got the two games I asked for but there's literally nothing else I want that I can't already get on PC.
>>732157893They seemed more than fine making billions without gta being on the Wii U or switch 2 lol
>>732157893The install base is still small as fuck, anon. They can port it 2 or 3 years from now and have it do better.
>>732158140It's a live service game, moron. Nobody wants to start those things late. It's a fundamental problem the older live service games have now.
Why are tendies convinced that their friend’s shitty online servers could handle something as big as GTA when it can’t even do smash brothers lmao
>>732158231They already release delayed PC ports lmao.
>>732158231>Nobody wants to start those things lateThen why do they keep doing it and making Rockstar more and more money?
>>732158257this but non-shitpostilynintendo is still years behind when it comes to online infrastructure
>>732149563>Partnerwhat's the point 99% of indies can be found on steam and even playstation now so why even bother with these partner directs
Why are you retards in a Nintendo partner direct thread if you "hate" Nintendo? Can you say obsessed?
>>732157893>>732157952Let me put this gently, because I know tendies often don't know a lot about hardware - money and/or the prospect of "lost profits" are not factors here.Rockstar can't port GTA 6 to the Switch 2 because it is a a technical impossibility. Money cannot magically fix this.It's going to be extremely demanding on I/O (the Switch 2 has two horribly slow buses). The Switch 2 system itself literally cannot fetch the data required for the game to run fast enough, and we can see this because it is already struggling to fetch data in third party ports of PS4 games AND some first party Nintendo games like Kirby Air Riders! The CPU cycles will be extremely demanding and almost certainly beyond the Switch 2 as well.GTA 6 will also have a massive RAM bottleneck on other systems, never even mind the Switch 2 with its microscopic NINE gigabytes of shared RAM.There is only one situation where the game could even run on NS2: if they have either deliberately held back the game on other platforms just so that it could run on the Switch 2. This is extraordinarily unlikely, considering that the game being anything less than pure perfection on PS5 (the primary audience) and PC will be seen as a catastrophic failure considering how much hype there is. It's the difference between making the biggest game of all time VS delivering the biggest disappointment of all time.I'm sorry anons who were looking forward to this, but it isn't happening.
>>732158495People would rather play on a switch than reddit posting machine and a Snoy station?
>>732158548RDR2 was on PS4 and that had like 4GB of useful RAM for gaming lol
>>732158575>people
>>732156943Unironically starting to think the same thing. Furukara seems ti want to fucking ruin Nintendo’s reputation in general lately. He’s giving me the impression that he’s a nepotism supported retard that wants to sit on his ass at the top of the company and do nothing but gloat about how he’s “finally made it.” Like the dickhead son of a successful CEO in any movie.
>>732158618Why are you in a Nintendo thread?
>>732158648Because I own a Switch 2. Go to the famiboards if you want a hugbox.
>>732158514>if you don’t suck off my greedy friends then you shouldn’t talkGo kill yourself faggot. The switch 2 is fucking boring and the last thing I want is more shovelware announced instead of the Nintendo games I bought this thing for.
>>732158610That's correct. You may have also noticed that RDR2 is not on Switch or Switch 2, lol. GTA 5 is also not on Switch or Switch 2. Both of games could definitely be on NS2 now, but not GTA 6, because it is a generation ahead and going to be a very strained piece of software even on PS5/PC. Please understand this.
>>732158495Everyone involved are trying to maintain good relations. Nintendo to 3rd Parties and 3rd Parties to Nintendo.
>Snoys arguing the switch 2 can't run GTA6 based on imaginary specs againYou niggers never learn lol
>>732158779Anon I don't care if you wanna spout neogaf retarded statements. You can go there if you want retards for company.
>a showcase showing off third party games that will run better on a ps5 or pcthanks nintendo
>>732158718You're fucking obsessed man. If I hate something, I ignore the discussion. There's no Snoystation threads to begin with because the brands a joke now, but if there were I wouldn't go in them. Nintendo fosterd this industry. Your second rate devs wouldn't have an industry without them.
>impossible challenge: tendies not bringing up snoy while desperately flailing to defend their friends
>>732158836I'm trying to be civil and temper expectations. I don't know what Neogaf has to do with anything? That seems like a strange thing to bring up.
>>732158991It's retard central, you'll feel right at home.
>>732158548ive been saying this the past two years but anons keep using that activision buyout court case as proof even though it literally has nothing to do with grand theft auto or rockstarthere was probably a popular youtuber who used this as "proof" and it latched onthey will 100% bring rdr2 to the switch 2 though since they are doing the first game
>>732158628>>732156943>the guy who managed the success of the best selling console in history (in real life numbers, not made up sony bullshit)? That released the currently fastest-selling console in history? He is an IDIOT lmao!!! I bet I could do that better?

>>732149563I really don't care, and I've reached a point where I have no single idea as to what could convince me to buy a Switch 2.

MonHun Rise NSW2 update would be great. Resolution and framerate bump.
>>732149563>partner directWhat fucking hopes?
Half life 3 switch 2 timed exclusive
>>732159425It's even worse if these fags shitting on Nintendo now all the time are PC enthusiasts.
>>732158514You must be new here. The board has been deranged over nintendo for almost a decade already. The switch 1's success permanently mindbroke these obsessed niggers that they still seethe about it to this day
>>732158825It's been their only thing since Switch 1 released

>>732158548It better fucking come to the switch 2 otherwise im selling it, i had hoped that it would be good enough to run modern titles at least
>>732156704>Chrono Trigger>ReimaginedHell to the fucking no
>>732156943Not just that but randomly shadow dropped news on Twitter which they’ve done throughout January and now we’re in February. As far as NSO additions we did get Path of Radiance.
>>732157674Do people just forget they got rdr2 running on the shitbox that is the xbone??? Porting 6 and especially 5 should be like a Sunday afternoon to them. Assuming said port doesnt get outsource to pajeets
>>732159657I have some bad news for you, my friend.
If they do the partner showcase on the day the leaks online's say they are, when are they going to announce it officially on Nintendo Facebook?
>>732159546>They have been coping over GTA6 for almost 9 yearsMan, I do hope GTA6 gets a switch 2 port just for the massive console war meltdown
>>732159896Usually 1 day before
>>732160131So they're going to announce it on wednesday?
EO Bros, you're still with me, right? This is our year!
>>732160237Dude...
>>732159202I've literally never heard anyone say that as an excuse, that is strange indeed.>>732159657It's not coming. Don't sell your device until the MSRP goes up in your region, which it will later this year because of the RAM shortages.>>732159832Again, apples and oranges. GTA 6 is going to be unlike any game that has ever been made before in terms of under the hood complexity. I have already outlined the reasons here. >>732158548And yes, of course it is speculation on my part, but it is informed speculation based on the leaked builds over the years and knowledge of what is coming in the final product. I'm not talking out of my ass. Even if you don't believe that it would be as intensive as I'm saying, look at how much the Switch 2 is having trouble with ports from far less powerful titles.Trust me, I'd love to be proven wrong, I'm actually a huge advocate for consoles all getting the same treatment. I just know that Rockstar wouldn't gamble on the success of what would otherwise certainly be the biggest game of all time just so they could have a piece of the Nintendo market, it's just not really a thing on a software, hardware, or business level, lol. It's not just nonsensical, it's an impossibility.

My sources tells me the partner direct is feb 5, you heard it here first. Here's some proof, my source grabbed a quick pick before he saw some ninjas so he had to bounce

>>732160406>I just know that Rockstar wouldn't gamble on the success of what would otherwise certainly be the biggest game of all time just so they could have a piece of the Nintendo marketNintendo is market leader now so Rockstar doesn't really have a choice anymore. Take-Two would force them or Sam Houser or whoever would get replaced by a yesman
>>732161181>tendies are this delusional and thinks R* would support their game on a console that can’t even run smash bros properly
>>732149563jesus christ it's only a partner showcase?nintendo themselves are STILL not releasing any games? holy fuck that's so fucking grim dude
>>732161314But anon my friend at Nintendo released a ton of expensive shovelware and mid games recently so they don’t need to try because those were all exclusive!
>>732160860I just said that I wanted to be proven wrong...Why are you taking such an antagonistic stance? :(>>732161181They absolutely do have a choice. It is absurd to think that Rockstar would willingly and knowingly destroy their golden goose, the largest game of all time, during the development process and strip back all of their promised features and advancements only so that they can have access to the Nintendo market, where they are statistically going to sell less due to more children and a much lower install base (at least for now, no doubt the Switch 2 will sell a lot more lifetime units in the next two years).
>>732161181There are less Switch 2 consoles sold than Xbox Series consoles currently and that will still most likely be true when GTA 6 launches. It legitimately does not matter if it gets a day 1 port. PC is a much bigger market and that's not getting a day 1 port regardless. This coping about GTA 6 is so retarded when GTA 5 isn't even on Switch 1.
>>732161260Cope. The PiS5 version won't be enough to sell on its own since nobody is going to buy the xbox version. Rockstar needs nintendo more than nintendo needs them.
>>732161550Dont feed the trolls. Stop replying to morons genuinely. Replying to trolls is almost as bad as being a troll. If they start calling you names its time to ignore and move on
>>732161314Please give Nintendo $20 to play Mario Wonder again but this time you can do it as Rosalina.
>>732161410You’ll survive
I seriously get second-hand embarassment every time I read tendies pretending to know what they're talking about. I've never known any other gaming community to be so consistently and smugly ignorant about everything. It makes the old "I don't even see the difference between 30 and 60 frames per second" cope seem less pathetic and more sad when you think of it in this way.
>>732161550>Only so that they can have access to the Nintendo marketRetard if you they want the hybrid/portable market that's Nintendo. Like it or not they're the only player in town going back several decades>>732161628NS2 almost outselling Xbox series in a year isn't a bad thing, T2 sees that as a good thing>PC is a much bigger marketI don't know what you're talking about coping when GTA never came to PC first
I want an NSO GameCube drop with a bunch of third party games.
>>732162267>I don't know what you're talking about coping when GTA never came to PC firstThat's the point, anon. They're ignoring the biggest market to catch double dippers. The portable version is another double dip target.
>>732149794Next Stage for sure this time.

>>732162368>They're ignoring the biggest marketYeah because PC has nothing but piracy. I mean hell if I can't play the game day 1 I'm just gonna pirate it as well, I'm never gonna buy GTA 6
>>732162267PC being a bigger market and it not coming out first on pc is two different statements. Both can be true.
>>732162519GTAO is part of the appeal, so GTAO2 will probably be part of it too. GTARP2 will blow up so it will get FOMOfags to play it once the PC version launches.
>>732149563more dayuuumGunronpa 2x2 preazu. kthxbye
>>732162602I know that online is part of the appeal but starting online late still sucks because that means you'll get ganked over and over by high level players. That's why I'm never gonna buy the game unless I can buy it day 1.
>>732149563>Partner Garbage garbage garbage something final fantasy, mario kart 3rd party guest DLC, garbage, garbage, garbage garbage garbage, metroid DLC as a bonus addon.prease undahstandu
Partner Showcase. I expect nothing remarkable but I'm willing to be surprised.
>>732162830>mario kart 3rd party guest DLCKek imagine thinking we’d get something that good. It’s just going to be slop like more Yakuza ports.
>>732149563bring me Rayman
>>732162895>DLC before adding more actual tracks>Character DLC before fixing intermissionsA 3rd party character WOULD be the slop you low expectation havin ass nigger.
>>732162852You have to go into it with at least one game you’d like to see or else it isn’t fun.
>>732162639isn't it a little earlyit was in the last direct
>>732162895>yakuza port announcement>ff7 rebirth announcement>monster hunter wilds announcement>elden ring release date announcement>e33 announcement>2d farm sim #54202 world premiereit will be a direct of all time
>>732163061Oh, fine; I guess I'd like to see... EO or Gravity Rush.
>>732149563they are announcing the kingdom hearts collection, unfortunately it will be a game key card
>>732163078And they will all be game key cards. There’s not enough internal storage on the Switch to store these games.
>>732163212Doesn't matter. I'll take the full digital format over the shitty cloud version
>>732163064I dunno Dangan bro, it felt like ages ago (like 4-5 months already). At least give us a vague or not vague release date. We still have no clue when it's coming out this year.
>>732163212>25 year old games!fucking show KH4 already

>>732163078>it’ll be like this>tendies will pretend that this is some sort of winWhat a grim day at the cultist’s temple
>>732149563>HopesSome new announcements from devs like Team Asano.>Dreams Etrian Odyssey Next.>ExpectationsSomething on Orbitals, RE9, Ports, Ports, and some more Ports.
>>732153587>>732154770>Why the hell do you have a Nintendo console then? You could play much better versions of those games on release instead of years later elsewhere. There's absolutely no reason to ever buy a 3rd party game on a Nintendo platform and even less reasons to deliberately buy a Nintendo console to only play 3rd parties.I'm someone who considers the Switch consoles to be far much better platforms to play videogames than my old gaming PC even if the latter still has higher specs on the paper than the Switch 2.Pic related is the kind of games I do own as digital titles from the Eshop alongside of indies.
>>732152354Directs are always Thursday. The 17th is a Tuesday. Nice try anon.
>>732163445raiders recently got a trademark update so it's fairly likely a general direct is soonor at least news for that game is soon
>>732163615I'm the same anon, Switch is just a better platform for playing vidya with being able to play both handheld and docked, I'd much rather that than be stuck at a desk, or forced to play 100% on a TV.
>>732163445(me)I just remembered>Mario Kart World DLC>King K Rool, Diddy, Dixie, and Cranky Kong, and Void Co.>the characters are released free, but their costumes are exclusive to the DLC map(s)>2 to 4 new cups, some themed after DK/BananzaThis is a mix of Hope and Dream
>>732163483Does it upset you that nintendo fans are interested in buying the games that snoys didn't bother playing on their PiS5?
>>732154564What can a remaster even add that a SP version with the AX content unlocked cannot? It already has wide screen support with a resolution boost so at best less blurry CG cutscenes and a online mode people won't fork over $60 for that alone.
>>732152354>>732154375>>732157857Sadly, we'll get a Partner showcase on 5th Feb and that 17th Feb is just a Splatoon Raiders direct...
Hoping for mass back catalogue patches, am idort but shit like Persona 5 Royal not being a big smear would be good for Switch only fags.
>>732163776Indeed and I'd rather have convenience and stability over some weird obsession of high framerate (which isn't always a good thing as anyone who actually played various games shall know) as a flawed criteria of "better version".Plus, something like Elden Ring on Switch 2 means I can enjoy the game with a proper button scheme layout (PC port is stuck to Xbox button prompts) and without the kernel-level anticheat.
>>732158495The Switch 2's portability does actually come into play as a benefit for most indies, since they're rarely resource intensive unless their spaghetti code is particularly terrible.
>>732164269LmfaoooNot a cult btw
>>732163619the mario movie direct was saturday
>>732164368You are a venezuelan pedophile dog-dick sucker.
>>732152354>Another fucking Splatoon game
>>732153587Buying from valve is unethical as a gamer now that they went mask off on censoring and banning games in behalf of israel.Even if you don't give a shit about ethics due to the bans said games are now straight up easier to buy on the JP nintendo eshop than jumping through hoops to buy through non-steam PC storefronts.Also playing them portably on the switch in the bed is nice, the consoles just feel nice to play with.
>>732157857Nigger it's been like 7 months and they have been releasing a new one every single month.The fuck else do you want?We both know you will bitch the new 3D AAA mario/zelda are bad once you get them anyway so why fucking bother?
>>732164809>the wildly successful ip is getting a new gameSay it ain't so!
>>732164368Playstation has virtually no presence and future in Japan (you can thank Jim Ryan and his buddies for that) and PC is a joke enough to make me not want to "upgrade" the parts like my RTX 2060 (since that won't fix the various problems of the ports themselves) so I've gone with the third choice.
>>732165038>Game that isn't due for a new entry gets one>Series that haven't had a new game in eons are neglected
>>732149563dusk
>>732164125Worst case scenario so the most likely one.
>>732165140It's been 4 years since splatoon 3
>>732164956Why bother responding to schizos that have to pretend the switch 2 has no games to cope?
>>732165140>>Series that haven't had a new game in eons are neglectedworthwhile stuff down to stuff like motherfucking famicom detective is getting new releases anonim glad goycube slop like star fox and fzero got buried forever tho, get fucked nigger

But if they're talking about 1st party shit I want 1080p/60 for ALL of their first party Switch 1 games immediatelyFears:>See expectations>Just Dance Cardboard Edition

>>732158548>the reply that mindbroke /v/
>>732158548You've just guaranteed GTA6 will be on the NS2 day 1 lol
>>732158548B-but... docked mode...
>>732165203 Honestly, at this point it's safer to assume the worst and maybe get pleasantly surprised rather than keep setting ourselves up for disappointment. They’ve been tiptoeing around real announcements and hyping filler to an obnoxious degree. All signs point to another 30-minute sizzle reel of farming sims and ports you've played three times over.
>>732167590That's not how directs work. Nintendo asks for trailers and they build the direct from there, now with AAA games we're not gonna see tons of farming sims.
>>732149563Since it's a partner direct>HopesBoyonetta 4. A full reveal for Persona 4, Something new from Capcom, Sonic Raiders or whatever it was called in the leaks>DreamsDEVIL MAY CRY 6, DIRECTED BY HIDEKI KAMIYA Releasing on PS5, PC AND SWITCH THIS FUCKING YEAR>ExpectationsLitteraly nothing but ports of old games, no idea who the fuck get's excited for fucking ports of games you can already play, sick of seeing people beg for them every direct
Who gives a shit people buy these for 1st party games
>>732158548You guys seem to know so much about the specs of a game that isn't even finished yet. It wasn't too long ago when people claimed that MH wilds would be impossible to run on switch 2 yet capcom is working on a port
>>732168696People will 100% buy Nintendo because of third parties now. It already started happening with Switch 1
>>732168696I bought a switch 1 for access to the jp eshop because steam kept banning the third party games I want lol.Fortunately AAs are still releasing in both the switch and switch 2 (except for that konami idol game) so I don't need a switch 2 for now, but I will inevitably get one in the future, also for third parties.
>>732158548What about Chinatown Wars 2?
>>732164956The only fucking first party games they have on the horizon are a mario tennis game a damn Fire Emblem one, aka: actually second party. They have fuck all revealed for their brand new console. What the fuck else are we supposed to have going into 2026 for their brand new console?
>>732149563>sizzle reel with Switch 2 upgrades (mixed free & paid, random indies like Pizza tower, some bigger games like Persona 5, Dragon Quest XI, Witcher 3, Risk of Rain 2+DLC)>release dates for Neverway, Mina the Hollower, Adventures of Elliot, Elden Ring & Duskbloods>Orbitals gameplay preview>New title from Sabotage Studio (Sea of Stars, the Messenger), timed Switch 2 exclusive>Monster Hunter Wilds port>FF7 Rebirth port
>>732168883wow its almost like the number of announced games are at their lowest right before the event that announces games or something
I think most of my "Partner" wants are just Switch 2 upgrades to shit (Minecraft and Terraria mainly) Maybe FFXIV? Doing the trial would be interesting
>>732168883They got twice as many games than PS5 or Xbox in 2026
>>732149563>HopesKingdom Hearts>DreamsKingdom HeartsDark Souls 2/3, 1 Remastered gets a Switch 2 upgrade>FearsA lot of partners still focusing on the Switch 1 with no upgrades to framerate or resolution for Switch 2
>Partner DirectNothing of worth is literally ever shown during these things. Enjoy your 40th comfy farming sim with rpg elements.
>partner directSo a bunch of ugly indie trans allegory quirk chungus shit got it
>hopessomething Marvel vs. Capcom related like MvC4/5 announcement or UMvC3 rollback port shadowdrop>but what about Marvel Tokon?1. Tokon deez nuts2. Tokon being a 4v4 that's looking to not launch with many characters and Sony funded PS5/Steam exclusive only makes my sausage dry. It doesn't have to release anywhere near Tokon, as long as it's confirmed to exist
>>732165308Im glad you finally dropped all pretenses of being a real Nintendo fan, it makes leaving the argument all the more easier
>>732149563Is it REALLY too much to ask?
Mario Musou is the only thing that would get me excited
>>732169597Being a goycuber doesn't make you a "(disgruntled) nintendo fan" anon, it makes you a goycuber salty that nintendo didn't become westernized like snoy did.
>>732169680Maybe they'll put GBA Chain of Memories on Switch Online service?
>>732169680This was already leaked :)
>>732169680>>732170498>cuck all of their switchfans with their shitty cloud one>release a real version later>still get sales from their switchfans buying this one that already bought the cloud oneThey would do this and this would happen.
>>732170498By a not very reliable source. So I remain iffy on it.
>>732155745I was curious, so I looked up the "teaser" for the next EO. It's 7 years old now.
>>732170691>sorry, no new Etrian for a decade>but you can play a copy-pasted dungeon in Metaphor: Refantazio!>you want to play Metaphor, right?>right?
>>732170579tbf no one bought the shitty cloud version
I really hope that Nintendo announces it tomorrow morning just so we can get it over with.
General Direct on Feb 17th
>>732159207>>the guy who managed the success of the best selling console in historyThat man? Iwata on his deathbed.

The two Sonic Adventure games being released in a collection or on NSO would probably be my most wanted announcement.
>>732173353You’ll survive
>>732168696I see that people are still using this cope after FF7R on S2 sold like crazy
>>732173676I bought my switch 2 for first party games and have ignored every third party game released on the system since.Then again I'm responding to a cultist that probably doesn't even have the system and just needs to defend their friend.
>>732170579This is one of the things thats fucking with me right now. I was very close to buying SMTV V when it was on sale but I feel like there going to be a switch 2 version with no option to just upgrade just like what happend to the sonic games
I want more Elder Scrolls games on Switch like Oblivion and Morrowind.
>>732149563Literally every time I see the Nintendo Direct logo I think of Scrunthttps://youtu.be/eYPY6nwS8l8
>>732173765>I bought my switch 2
>>732173987I've played this game so many times before. I post it, then you cope and cry. Anyway, you'll survive.
Please announce the Direct tomorrow Nintendo…
>>732174230Partner Direct announcement tomorrow.General Direct on Feb 17th.
>>732152354This makes sense because Zelda's 40th anniversary is on a Saturday, which they never do directs on, so one right before that makes sense (after would mean it would be just a few days before pokemon presents)
>>732169680Three Words: Game Key Card
>tendies reading tea leaves and coping because there's fuck all to play and the next direct but be garbage ports of 4 year old gamesCould not have happened to a more deserving cult-base.

>>732175442Rayman 1 is like super not a good game, outside of the art and music which has aged perfectly.
>>732165095You're using a gpu that can barely run 10 year old games to try to make a point, cultist.

>>732164125Not even, we'll just get a Splatoon Raiders youtube overview shadow dropped. This would also explain why it's on a Tuesday when they don't often do Tuesday directs.
>>732178657>t.
>>732173584The PC ports existing make people forget that on console people only have accesso to the decade long ports that aren't even that goodGive me an Adventure 1+2 package with 1's visuals fixed and online mutiplayer for battle and the chao garden (Singular, Chao Data is shared between the two, the 1 gardens are all neutral)

>>732173584The gamecube versions have a better chance. It's weird that sega never brought the HD ports to current platforms like the switch

>>732149563>Partner DirectWhy would they do partner direct instead of proper direct?Why would they do partner direct before showing their own games?
>>732183764For several console gens in a row, Nintendo has been a desert of 3rd party support because they choose not to compete technically.Now they have a console that can perform well enough for 3rd party devs not to break their spines porting games to it, and Nintendo wants to project that.
I’m waiting for the Nintendo sales data to drop. I’m very curious about Kirby Air Riders.
>>732184116My bet is somewhere in-between 3M to 4M copies sold.
>>732184109Switch selling point during first year(and let's be honest, in following years) was literally "we have a third party games now, even dark souls"But they never did partner directs before showing their own games, at worst they shown them together
>>732184229If your point is>They clearly have no games lined up any time soonYou're probably right, but I still think my point is more prominent.

>>732150083Based suggestion : why is EDF not on a Nintendo console yet?
>>732150442It depends entirely on if Koei Tecmo are involved again. So far, no. But their involvement with 3H wasn't announced until the second trailer. And Three Hopes had a trailer in a partner direct.
Nintendo sales data when?

Though we know it really just means B list games that no one really wants and Nintendo just has a contract to advertise them so that devs don't throw a hissy fit. Indie World is the one that is specifically about Indie games from small self published studios.
>>732168603>Sonic Raiders or whatever it was called in the leaksSega is too busy sucking its own cock right now, it would want to do a Twitter drop or something.
17.37 million switch 2's
Kirby only sold a million copies. AHAHAHA get fucked Sakurai, go back to the Smash mill.
>>732185939Oh yeah they're hitting that 19m target by March easy.
>>732166343>>Nintendo reverses policy of censorship for indie games like DispatchYou'll have to complain to AdHoc about that since they were the ones who decided not to bother with regional releases for Switch like they did with PS5.>>732185939lmao, so much for the disappointing holiday narrative. They're definitely hitting 20 milly by end of March.
>>732149563Pokemon Pinball reveal
>>732185939i already saw ecelebs coping with "akshually nintendo is padding the numbers by forcing retailers to stock for the 2026 holidays, the next report will be shit numbers for sure" like damn
>>732188459how does that logic work
>>732186086They're going to need to sell through the 2 million units retailers are already sitting on, and convince them to buy another 2 million, in the slowest quarter of the year for consoles. Unless they plan on announcing a Mario game, I don't think they're going to make it.
>>732149563>HopesProject Watari from ArcSys is revealed and Duskbloods.>DreamsAstral Chain 2 and a non-shit Rune Factory 6

>>732149563>hopesNothing realistic, I hope that third parties will one day wake the fuck up and put some actual resources behind a Switch 2 title, at least similar to the resources they put into their Playstation/Xbox releases.>dreamsSame as above, third parties willing to put actual resources into a Switch 2 release>fearsNo real fears>expectationsThird parties will continue as they have for the last decade plus and just do small releases or ports to the Switch 2, because they all really just fucking hate money.
>>732189283>Astral Chain 2Kamiya is out, so never ever> non-shit Rune Factory 6With people liking jap one and considering it a good rf game? never ever
>>732189629>KamiyaTaura, but he's also out
>>732189629>Kamiya is out, so never everAstral Chain was NOT a Kamiya game, it's a Takahisa Taura (he was also responsible for the gameplay side of Nier)... but Taura also left. So, you are still right.
>>732149563Etrian Next StageRune Factory 6New DisgaeaNew TWEWYNew Devil Survivor
>>732157857The switch 2 has games. You lost and got raped,,,Eric
>>732149563>partner showcaseSkip
If we get a direct, I just want release dates.
>>732189629The fact that Taura left when Astral Chain was his project shows that there is no Astral Chain 2 in development in any form.
>>732190410Tbf, Astral Chain is fully owned by Nintendo, so they can give it to another studio if they want.
>>732149563>Hopes?Balders gatemetaphorkingdom hearts>Dreams?Expedition 33xenogears remaster in the style of TICDeltarune ch5>Fears?cloud ports
>>732190518honestly wouldnt surprise me if after mp4's rather poor performance they will be hesitant to do that again for a while, at least until their tertiary studios actually prove themselves
>>732190518There's just no point, there's nobody else that Nintendo works with that could do even at least as good a job as PG, and because it's a PG IP what Nintendo teams will be likely to choose Astral Chain over one of their own games to develop.>>732191116Retro's work on MP4 was excellent though, they had to build around what Tanabe had planned, and what had already been done under Bamco Singapore. Literally the core issue with the game was that stupid and loud Youtubers wanted an open World Metroid Prime and Tanabe actually listened.
>>732149563I don't have dreams, I have insane delusions.
>>732163615Key Cards are the big reason I'm holding off buying many switch 2 games.Games have already become super bloated and I don't want to have spend hundreds of extra dollars on SD cards given micro SD cards are also notorious for breaking down.Getting VII would be nice, but over 90GBs? WTF.
>>732170579Who the fuck would be retarded enough to buy the cloud version? Especially when multiple burger ISPs have monthly data caps unless you pay out the ass.
>>732149563If it happens I expect the big third part hitters, CoD and XIVBut then I expected those at the pre switch 2 release direct and every direct since and haven't gotten them
>port speculation: E33 Metaphor refantazio Persona 4 remake RE2/3/4 remakes COD BO7FF7 Rebirth Monster Hunter WildsHundred Line Switch 2 edition>new game speculation Persona 6 teaserFF7 pt 3 teaser Ace Attorney 7Tsukihime Red Garden(Not new stuff but release date) Dangan Ronpa 2x2
>>732193264Oh dragon quest 12 too, that feels inevitable
>>732193264>Persona 6 teaserthat's gonna be at a Sony's State of Play
>>732193393If it's not announced in a direct it'll be announced in the Xbox summer showcase. Microsoft has now announced the last 3 Persona studio games (Metaphor, P3 remake, P4 remake)
>>732193393It's gonna be neither, it's gonna be at Xbox because Atlus/Sega is retarded.
>>732193264They are not going to market Rebirth and part 3 at the same time.
>>732193871Everyone knows rebirth is coming, pt 3 will be a short teaser / title drop and announce it's coming out January 31st 2027.
>>732194241part 3 marketing will be during Sony presentations exclusively
>>732194241You're as optimistic as the guy that keeps telling us XIII remaster is coming up any second now
>>732194506Honestly tho, I don't give a shit about FF13, but I still don't know why it never happened yet. It's not like it was colossal flop, it still sold better than all pre-FF7 games and better than FF9, and for whatever bizarre reason Lightning is still popular in Japan. Is it because of the engine or something, because they have ported far less popular games.
>>732194506Oh, that's meI mean it got leaked like 3 times on retaielr sites last year
>>732194506Thats just an inevitability. They ported X-2, XII, and and plenty of other divisive, worse-selling Final fantasy games to modern consoles, so theres no way they wont port XIII.
I'm surprised by all the expectations of e33 getting ported. I know the devs said they wanted to do it but with how small the studio is I'd sure be surprised if they're close to finished with a port so soon.
>>732194864>but with how small the studio is600+ contractors is fucking small?>'m surprised by all the expectations of e33 getting portedGot leaked, it's not even expectationIt's just something that will happen, even if no one wants it.
>>732194650>>732194668>>732194820I'm not saying it won't ever happen, but it's the constant "this event surely!" pushSame for part 3, many were convinced it would be at TGA, but Remake port wasn't even out yetSQEX is in a weird spot, and 7R numbers were shaky so they want to structure this game by game so that part 3 has a better chance of succeeding, numbers wise
>>732194897>600+ contractors is fucking small?That sounds like a huge exaggeration with no sauce but either way, thats not even factoring in how the game wasnt super well optimized already, so getting it to run well on the switch 2 would be more like the work to port cyberpunk than the easy indie ports studios are doing.>Got leaked, it's not even expectationJust like the FF9 remake and god knows how many other leaks with no results? I'm hopeful but I wont believe it til I see it.
>>732195064>Just like the FF9 remakeTbf, majority of the games on that leaked list were true, I think for FF9, Rebirth meh sales made them rethink things with their remakes.
>>732195064>Just like the FF9 remake and god knows how many other leaks with no results?And that's also a factor yeah, things get cancelled, especially now
>>732194424Absolutely not lol. Squeenix is beyond pissed at how hard their Sony partnership has fucked them, to the extent that when FF7 pt3 was initially verbally announced they made sure to clarify that it would not be a timed exclusive at all, and would release globally on all 4 major platforms. Basically Sony approached them in timed exclusive negotiations yet again and Squeenix just outright told them to fuck off, and likely bought themselves out of the longer "no Nintendo / Microsoft time required for rebirth (though I would guess they didn't buy out of that for XVI since they don't expect high sales on the eventual switch 2 version for that)
>>732195064FF9 remake was canned because they realized no one wants action combat anymore on jrpgs, especially for remakes of beloved turn based games
>>732195493Sounds like headcanon, I never saw anything confirming it'd be action gameplay. Other than 7 most squeenix remakes have been pretty faithful to the originals.
>>732195461Have faith in square, man.They can always make a retarded decision that no one expects
>>732195564It's the only explanation for why they're all in on Dragon Quest remakes but all reports are how remakes for FFIX and X got shelved.If DQ12 doesn't get announced during the partner direct thursday it's safe to say that went full action too, and now has to totally rebuild its entire combat to be turn based (with maybe parry slop mechanics) so as to not kill the franchise
>>732195686>It's the only explanation for why they're all in on Dragon Quest remakes but all reports are how remakes for FFIX and X got shelved.to be fair, the dq and ff teams seem to function in almost complete isolation from one another>remakesff gets the simple shitty pixel remasters, but now all the old games are available everywhere, while dq is remaking each game from the ground up, 3 then 1 and 2 then 7.>mmo entriesdqx gets a complete offline version, while ffxi is never mentioned and xiv hasnt even hinted at offline.Thats not even mentioning the constantly shifting styles and dev teams on ff while horii's crusty ass has been behind every dq.
>>732195564From everything that was said about it, it sounded like it was a more straightforward 1:1 approachHard to say what stalled it, Rebirth underperformed maybe took away confidence, though FF9 has been performing unusually well recently so they might look at upscaling it tooHard to predict where Square takes things
>>732163445>something brand new/uses mouse controlshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdhvAqS4bjAif they dont give me a release date soon i'm going to click on every ad on kongregate and armor games
>>732158548Put me in the screencapcant wait for the seethe when this gets announced
>>732158548All games are portable. It all comes down to how much time and money they are willing to put in and also how much of a downgrade they are willing to do. Will see how it looks and runs on the Xbox Series S. You have a several devs that have said if a game runs on the Series S it can run on the Switch 2. If GTA 6 is a disaster on the Series S ala Cyberpunk PS4/Xbone, I doubt they would be willing to port it to the Switch 2.
>>732196393damn why haven't I heard about this before, it looks really cute
>>732165140Hey man I could also cry about how a new Kid Icarus or Astral Chain is never happening, or I could enjoy the funny squids.
>>732158548Wow, tendies really are delusional, can't believe this is something that actually needs to be clarified. GTA isn't happening
>>732153587I like playing handheld and my Steam Deck is too bulky to be comfortable in longer sessions. That simple.
>>732197531>GTA isn't happeningby the way things are going with rockstar? yeah the game is probably going to be vaporware and never releasing at this rate
>>732149563I hope for Cruelty Squad. I dream of Cruelty Squad. I fear the content drought.
>>732173072Too many game specific directs lately, at most it will be general direct followed by splatoon direct
>Hopes?Fun vidya? Mario Odyssey came out almost 10 years ago. Eternal Darkness 2, why not. A "classic 3D" Zelda game, or spiritual successer.>DreamsA beautiful woman with large breasts hijacks the stream and announces her love for me personally. Out of desperation to get everything under control, Nintendo pays me $10mil to marry her, only after giving her sweet, tender, and intense lovin' live in front of millions, stunning all of /v/, and we live happily together until she kills me by smothering me to death with her double pillows.>FearsAnother sunrise.
>>732199419Such good times.
I wanted were Fatal Frame news and we already got 2 Remake, I'm having a hard time even thinking what to care about when it comes to 3rd parties, I guess KH4 info yet 3 sucked so.
>>732184159Lmao
>>732199909>1.7MMissed the mark entirely, but still good numbers.

13 mins?
>>732149563>Announcement tomorrowSource?
>>732200680>MP4 didn't charti would have thought that it would have got a decent chunk of people before they all caught on in its mediocrities, but I guess nothell even saying that is probably being too fair to the franchise name
only 5 minutes left
>>732201227I’m sure he was talking about the Nintendo Defense Squad posters though
>>732201284>tendie this thrilled that a tech demo with cut content dlc is doing bad Mixed signals there bud
>>732201650wouldn't it be announced wednesday? directs are typically announced 24 hours beforehand no?
IT'S UP
>>732201836not the last one (Tomodachi)
>>732201606Honestly that's good. Fuck metroid prime 4 and all the fags trying to defend it. I'll probably sell on sales though.
TURN ON CNN

No way... Epik...
WOW IT'S FUCKING NOTHING.jpg
tonight we feast on the flesh of Nate the Hate

Nothing on that faggy mobile app I refuse to download?
>>732202003Nope. Nothing.
>>732149563Link? It's not showing up on the NOA channel.
if nintendo switch has games then how come so many people are begging for a direct?
>>732202003Download the app faggot
>>732202074dopamine
>>732202074For more games.
I can't find the direct....
>>732202080there is not an app called "faggot" in the store, retard!
>>732202003Well there's a Chargin' Chuck (soon to be Sneakin' Sneed) Racket in Mario Tennis Fever.
Wanna know why the lack of announcement? We’re still getting that direct, it's just gonna be a mini direct

>>732202295>>732202386>>732202473I'm personally waiting for something good. I have no interest in tomodatchi life, more so after that direct and everything has kind of sucked. Even donkey kong wasn't as good as odyssey. While I like the system it's been a bit of a dud for me.
>>732150083I can't be the only guy who finds the designs and look to be really ugly right? I saw it and though it looked like some of the crap you find on steam.
>>732201941does current /vp/ even meme with groudon these days
>>732149563Hope it's not a partner direct. Switch 2 needs games, and I need more news about the new Switch 1 games.
I hope for more nintendo switch games i can emulate
>>732202074muh hype
>>732202074The Switch has games. The Switch 2 does not.
>>732203593more than ps5 thoughbeit
>>732202582he said the direct is on the fifth not the fourth, what retard expected an announcement today? for a partner direct of all things
Bump.

>>732209178It’s an old bingo card, I’m too lazy to update it you or anyone can do it¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>732205964Because we usually get the announcement two nights in advance.
Hopes would be any cool game also releasing on pc. Dunno what, expecting nothing.>>732162432Yeah...for sure this time...
Bump limit reached!
