I'm tired of seeing it.

Has any of Nintendo’s main IPs ever shown up in a partner direct?
Like Warriors Three Hopes was revealed in a partner direct yeah?

>>732230664
It is February 3rd, and the February 5th Direct has not been announced yet.
It must be a Partner Showcase because the last Partner Showcase was announced one day in advance.

>>732231332
It will be announced today. Trust in the plan. They have done afternoon announcements before.

>>732230317
I hope for some kind of SMTV:V DLC with more content and or Digital Devil Saga remake

Came back to transcribe the funny bits of the latest niggerdeen video because last thread I saw apparently it's worth the watch, and it's less than 10 mins for once so it should be quick.
>0:08 So, I was wrong, not about everything, not even about most things, but about enough, I had some predictions about the worldwide sales of the switch 2, and I was off, I think japan, europe and america kind of line up to exactly what I expected, but another category blindsided me, again.
>0:28 There's plenty to analyze, and I'm going to be analyzing it, but from the very beginning my intention with all of this was to generate some kind of backlash that would make nintendo treat the customers better, it was meant to be a discussion about greed, a fight against blind consumerism, and I hope there will be value in the discussions that we had even if it didn't mean anything and nintendo would go on about business as usual.
>0:55 The reality though is that never in my intentions to mislead anybody, I am just a random dude looking at the numbers at the end of the day, and as long as I felt the discussion I was pushing forward was following things in the correct manner, and things were heading in the right direction, then I would continue heading this discussion as far as I needed to as long as I believed in the end goal, and the end goal for me was always a price drop so that nintendo could be affordable for the majority of it's fandom.
>1:24 And I could no longer in good conscience attempt to mislead anybody into assuming a price drop was gonna come from nintendo, that's not going to happen, they sold through 15 million consoles in it's first year
First half year niggadeen.
>That's somewhere around an 80% sell-through rate, by my own metrics and by my own arguments, that is too successful of a first year to assume anything would change in a following year.

>>732230317
Hopes:
P5R SW2, SMT V: Vengeance SW2, Metaphor, Yakuza something, RDR2, FFXIV, Rebirth, RE2-4 remakes native

Expectations:
Yakuza

Fears:
It's nothing but Switch 2 upgrades to farming sims and 2D metroidvanias/indies that hardly do anything to justify existing

>>732232557
>1:45 Even if there's a massive dropoff during the next few months which is still very feasible, even if the circana data comes out in 3 weeks and it ends up being the worst january we have seen since the wii days, I think nintendo has done enough to get by the next months until next year, and that is even if within the next 6 months they are no longer considered the fastest selling console in history, and I wanna say that because I want to make it VERY clear to my audience, I want you guys to understand my intentions as I continue to make content.
>2:11 Before I was doing this because I believed there was an endgoal, I was doing it and having a great time, I still am having a great time, but the endgoal was always in front of me and was always the focus that I had, but now I no longer believe that there's going to be a price drop, I wanna make sure that something is very clear to you guys, the nintendo switch 2 sold through more on 2025 than I would have imagined it could manage, they did so with discounts on a worldwide scale, obviously.
Only on muttland, and only on select stores, and only in-store, and only if you had their subscription, and it was a mere 50 bucks off, niggerdeen.
Also even if we assume that's true, isn't exactly that what you said you wanted a minute ago negro? The fuck is your problem?
>2:38 But they still sold enough, whether I like it or not, but also I kinda want to address a few things that I think are worth addressing, I never intended for this discussion to be a magnet for toxicity, I believe in boycotts, but those work when there's enough people behind it, maybe one day when people believe nintendo and these gaming companies have gone too far, but for now are too forgiving to corporate greed, and they like buying overpriced stuff more than I expected.

>Some surprise third party using a prominent Nintendo IP game
>Fears
Devs still not embracing the Switch 2, releasing their games as Switch 1 titles with no resolution or framerate upgrades on the Switch 2 so they look like shit in handheld mode.

>3:18 This is going to sound cheesy, but I don't wanna live in a world where there are no nintendeens, because that's just a world that completely owns us, even if I'm shouting into the void at least I AM shouting into the void, and hoping it's resonating with somebody out there, if all this means the next time nintendo has to think a little longer before raising prices, then I'm all for it.
>3:55 I'm probably going to be spending a lot more time focusing on my retrospectives channel, mostly because nintendo was not releasing enough games, so, I gotta talk about something, also I have been wanting to kinda move all these old retrospectives that I have on my main channel over there, but I want to re-record them because I have better quality equipment now.
>4:41 but this channel is gonna keep being what it is, in the sense that when I see something I want to talk about I'm gonna come here and put the microphone in front of me and talk about it, that could be sales data, that could be gaming news, that could be a review about a game, dunno when I'm going to buy a switch 2 but when I do that it will be on this channel.
>5:10 I don't expect my channel to be as big in 2026 as it was during 2025, I actually expect it to drop off quite significantly actually, there were a lot of people here motivated by the cause and if I'm not making videos about nintendo potentially moving towards a failure, they probably won't be around for the rest of the content, but I think I made myself very clear back in april that I would move away from doing daily mario retrospectives and covering switch 2 stuff, the most important thing for me and not get burnt out of youtube, was enjoying the content and what I want to upload.

>6:05 I still am covering switch 2 sales and switch 2 data, and I absolutely want to do a deep dive analysis on the most recent quarterly reports, and I may still walk away with some predictions that may anger some folks, but I want you guys to understand that I am no longer doing that because I believe there may be a price drop, I want that to be very clear.
>6:30 I was absolutely wrong about how many sales nintendo would make in 2025, even with the discounts worldwide I never expected them to hit this number, prior to the launch of the console I did predict they would reach their 1 year forecast by the end of december, and watch my video from right before the console launched for that, but after the launch and over the past few months I didn't think of 15 million sold to customers sold during the first year, so I was awfully wrong about that.
And that's that.
He gave up and said he would buy a switch 2.

Right now I just want western release confirmation for Kyouran Makaism and Curse Warrior since the former just came out in Japan and the latter does so in March and there isn't a single word on western release.

I'd also take some info on Fate/Extra Record but I imagine that'll be at some FGO event rather than a Nintendo Direct.

Also Diddy Kong Racing on the N64 service would be nice.

the world does need less nintendeens, nigger grifters basically irreparably poisoned all switch 2 criticism and nintendo criticism as a whole
i do absolutely think there's some issues with the current nintendo ecosystems that should be addressed
>even if i find goykeys an acceptable half measure for code in box and glorified voucher shit from the switch 1, nintendo should have had the balls to tell third parties to have shit in-cart properly or fuck off and die in bankruptcy alone in snoy's kike smegma
>NoJ should gut NoA like an ill pig and replace everyone on the trannylation seats with literal AI, use literal AI to have the JP voice actors in westoidese, and replace everyone in management seats with japanese people, shibata being the new acting CEO is nice but a full purge is needed

I’m still under the idea that Call of Duty will show up during the direct and have something out that same day. If there is a direct on the 5th, then the timing of it and the start of season 2 for Black Ops 7 seems like the perfect time to have something out on the Switch 2.

It was. But for some reason Nate tweeted that the other day.

-Dear loyal Nintendo fans.-
We have heard your pleas and have acted accordingly. We are shifting our focus from game development and redoubling efforts to bring even more beloved franchises to the silver screen in pursuit of a modern audience. We understand that this may be disappointing to some, but it is a decision we do not take lightly. Our movies will later be put onto game key cards for those who enjoy an at home experience, so look forward to those when you see them. Those with eligible theatre tickets will receive priority on physical preorders.
Thanks for your understanding.
Yours truly,
-Disney (Japan)

Beautiful....

Drink it all in, Nintendeen. This is your finest hour.

Sega holding back their 3D Sonic games has become beyond gay. We get so many rereleases of the 2D games, why not the 3D stuff? I’ll take anything whether it’s Unleashed, Heroes, the Adventure games, or something else entirely.

>>732243865
after how bad colors was, I don't think anyone wants that.

>>732244070
How bad the port was, or just the game in general?

>>732238847
Fake. With a woman at the head of NoA, they'd have mentioned LGBTQ inclusivity somewhere.

>>732243865
I don't think Sega wants to reveal how shit the 3D Sonic games actually are to a wider audience unless they fully remake some of them.

>>732244670
I’ve seen people bring up that the nonbinary thing in Tomodachi was because that bitch is president of NoA but that game was made before she took charge. People don’t know how bad it’s going to get. It’ll be far worse than nonbinary faggots in Tomodachi.

>>732244242
I'll be honest and say I've never liked sonic colors. I hate the humor and hate the focus on 2d levels. The hd port however is just awful. I have it on ps5 and pc and both version suck. I've heard even worse things about the switch release.

>>732243865
I do hope we get their gamecube games on switch 2 NSO and not just sonic, but also super monkey ball and billy hatcher. I don't trust sega when it comes to porting their games

>>732244730
Sad but true, even though I enjoyed all of them. Even Black Knight.

I want an rpg. Pls recommend.
Preferably lots of side content and options to get stupid OP.
Optionally (but not necessary) different endings.

>>732244730
There is no "wider" audience. Sonic fans are still the same old ones and the kids that keep getting these games as gifts or because their cheap. Comic fags don't buy and games and honestly releasing anything would help out the "brand". It's on a bit of decline. I see so much sonic shit at ollies.

What’s the point of a third party Partner Showcase when NoA didn’t even allow the Neptunia trilogy or Corspe Party games on the eShop? I’m shocked that Etrian Odyssey was allowed considering some of the portraits.

>>732248539
To show to the public and investors, but yes, I saw fans making a port that ran well on the Switch. One doesn't need to imagine what an official release would look like.

This is assuming it's a partner direct.

Hopes - New etrian Odyssey, new Capcom game, new games in general are my general hopes.

Expectations - Ports ports ports ports

Fears - Nothing but ports ports ports. File this under expectations too.

I’ve been in all these Partner Showcase threads, both Kingdom Hearts and Etrian Odyssey have popped up the most. Hopefully we get both.

>>732240550
Usually at either 9AM or 12PM EST

duskblood is probably gonna hog the direct.
E33 just for another round of /v/ seething about it.
a new trailer for pragmata, more story oriented
a new trailer of resident evil too just because it's close
Konami teasing some castlevania content maybe? if only just a compilation of old games, or a quick "hd remaster" of the old games with new sprites

>>732256935
Just pattern recognition mostly. There's usually a Direct every February, unless it's a particularly weird year for them to plan around like a console launch or when Covid was still fucking everybody up. If Nintendo really doesn't have enough to show, they usually still have at least a Partner Showcase.

>>732256935
There's nothing "concrete," nothing I can point to, just the closest thing we have to concrete: NatetheHate said we're getting one on the 5th. People will say that he's gotten things wrong in the past, and that's true, but when it comes to direct dates specifically, he's never been wrong.

Just announced on Nintendo's news app. Partner Showcase tomorrow.

They just posted the announcement on their app, probably a Twitter post soon.

Confirmed Partner direct

Check the app, is a Partner Direct, as Natethehate sama said

>>732271527
no time?

>>732269095
I'd take that over Dragon Quarter.

>>732271547
>>732271531

The main composer and the art director died

>>732271648
i was hoping nintendo would announce nintendo games

relying on 3rd parties to port games to switch 2 is no good because everyone has already played those games on other platforms. nintendo should release more 1st party exclusives!!!

>>732230317
HOPES: High Quality Sequel of any Nintendo IP
EXPECTATIONS: Shovelware + Remaster
FEARS: Random Mario Remake/Remaster

>>732271728
I think the composer and toriyama were doing fuck all in terms of making the games. 99.99% of the work was other people

>>732271724
highly likely

>>732271547
He's been right about it. I feel like he knows someone in a large gaming company that handles the requests for b-roll for Directs.
I also remember when Indie devs were complaining when an Indie Direct didn't get announced, cause apparently they were told it's on X date.
So the way I see it, Nintendo sends the request to a company saying "hey we're doing a Direct on X date, you got a trailer you'd like to use" and that person has ties to Nate.
What I don't like is when people like him try to Jew and make a profit just cause of this, pretending they're some kind of super insider.

>>732271794
He already had a successor, who seems to be more open to allowing orchestral mixes available in the game from the get go, like you see with DQ123 and 7's releases.
Because holy hell, DQ11 was suffering not having it at the start cause of that guy.
ResetEra libs hate him cause he's a nationalist, I hated him cause he was a boomer.

It's fun. Thing is the stuff they show you is random depending on your preferences, aside from major announcements. Like art posts and what not.

>>732272392
Yep, last year was filled with back-to-back Directs, so this is nothing new.

Seems like Nintendo's moving towards announcing stuff on Today and then doing game-specific directs. Wonder if it's them wanting to always do things differently from the rest of the industry since basically everyone just copied the Direct format. Could also be some management thing about not wanting to be seen as doing the same thing as the previous eras of Nintendo did, like how all the gags in directs vanished once Iwata died and Reggie left.

>>732230317

Wew lad. Was expecting them to hit their first party direct hard so we know what the big titles are this year.

Now that Xenoblade X is free I can finally say fuck the Wii U. No game made after 2013 actually utilized the Gamepad in a creative way. The fact there was no Wii U Layton game is still fucking criminal. Imagine the potential for actual dual screem puzzles between the TV and the Gamepad. The DS/3DS games only ever just had the directions on one screen and the puzzle on the other.

It's taking so long because they announced it before they even started working on it. 4-5 years of dev time makes sense.
