shin megami tensei hype

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Shin Megami Tensei V is a pretty big deal though. And a remake of three. Neat!

The Necrodancer is neat.

Rest I don't really care about.

"This is the first in a series"

We are getting no direct this year. Oh my god. We are going to reach the one year mark.

Look, good for *SPOILER* fans, but 1. I think fans of a certain OTHER franchise people want on Switch are probably going to be pretty mad right now (this is better than that, but just warning you) and 2. REVEALING 2021 GAMES ARE YOU SERIOUS NINTENDO? Did they just forget about the rest of the year?

 

[Zema]

Yeah, the mini directs are a godawful idea.

 

[JarBear]

Sigh ... Nintendo ....

 

[Fenriraga]

Ayyy a Nocturne Remaster! Shame it won't have Dante but still neat.

And having SMT5 Worldwide release is good. Keep doing that Atlus. And give us a US release date from P5S already ****ing GEEZ

But uh yeah. That was... Yeah.

 

[Deleted member]

I’m gonna say, what is the absolute point of having episodes when they could do a whole direct?

 

[Firox]

Holy mother of ****. I got up at 7 in the morning to watch 45 seconds of chibi WWE?! Nothing but literal SHOVELWARE?! **** you, Nintendo. You've hit a new low. You literally managed to take gutter-level expectations....and SUBVERT them! Wow. Just wow.

"Wake me up when September ends..."

It's official. Nintendo has absolutely nothing up their sleeve this year.

Worth noting that these are Nintendo's partners.

Not Nintendo itself. They don't have to fill up a 2020 deadline.

Are you really concerned about spoiling a commercial?

 

[Inawordyes]

See, for what it was stated to be, I’m pretty content with that. None of it is something I would ever play, but I’m not gonna whine and groan about it. I do want to note, though, that of all the characters that could be given the spotlight in the Cadence DLC, Impa and Skull Kid got the recognition, next to shadow variants and I would assume two original or CotN-original character (I don’t recognize Aria and Frederick, at least). Giving two of the most popular Zelda newcomer requests playable status in a Zelda spinoff-ish game is high key interesting even if it doesn’t necessarily mean anything for Smash.

 

[Lyncario]

Thank you Atlus.

 

[AceAttorney9000]

Posted my thoughts in the Newcomer thread, gonna post them here too...

So, no Smash DLC or Bayonetta 3 news... but that's actually okay by me, because they said that we'd be getting more of these Direct mini announcements this year, which hopefully means we won't have to wait too long for the next one (here's to 27th being the next one). Plus, at least we got some cool stuff with more Cadence of Hyrule DLC, Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne HD Remaster, and a clip of Shin Megami Tensei V.

Holy mother of ****. I got up at 7 in the morning to watch 45 seconds of chibi WWE?! Nothing but literal SHOVELWARE?! **** you, Nintendo. You've hit a new low. You literally managed to take gutter-level expectations....and SUBVERT them! Wow. Just wow.

"Wake me up when September ends..."

... you seriously think Shin Megami Tensei is shovelware?

 

[Nicnac]

Cadence of Hyrule stuff is neat.
Rogue Company is lame in my opinion.
WWE shovelware is lame as hell.
The stuff from ATLUS was cool for those who care about it, but it's not for me.

 

[pinshadow]

Are you really concerned about spoiling a commercial?

People were antsy yesterday about not wanting to get spoiled, and even if the presentation is a joke I'm still not going to.

 

[Heoj]

yeh the fps and wwe stuff had me skipping em, cadence of hyrule was neat and i dont personally care for smt but i guess its cool. Dont understand why they showed smt stuff since they are both 2021 and yet we dont really know jack all about the rest of 2020.

 

[xpnc]

Why wouldn't they just say an 8 minute video instead of 10? Generally you can round up but they exaggerated the length by 25%, which is really weird

I respect SMT as a series but it seems baffling to include it alongside a video they had to know would be poorly received—it's now going to be associated with massive social media dislikes in their metrics

 

[M00NFIRE94]

I felt like I only blinked once and already it's over. They need to change the title name to something other than Direct like really. This was so bad.

 

[QQS]

Would have preferred: Austin walks it dry! Joining the battle.

 

[DarkShadow20]

That direct has 21k dislikes. Are we learning anything Nintendo?

Edit: 23k now.

 

[DIY]

So, I think it's fair to say this was the worst Direct of all time. There have been some pretty bad ones in the past but I can't think of a single one which has been worse. Lol

Edit: At the very least, they did say to look forward to more presentations this year so at least there's that.

Apparently the Japanese direct was longer.

It was Japan only who said 10 minutes (and theirs was actually 12 minutes).
NoA and NoE didn't specify times.

The 10 minute thing was from the Japanese account iirc, and Pushdustin said the Japanese direct was actually 12 minutes long.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Notice how it started talking about Civid 19. Its almost like.. gasp.. the virus messed nintendo up
*pretends to be shocked*

 

[MonkeyDLenny]

So... we waited four months since March for...

DLC for a game that's been out for a year
Guns guns guns
Shovelware
Vaporware that's been lurking around since the Switch launched

This is what we get while Sony and Xbox are plowing ahead with their systems and reveals

I'm going back to bed

Notice how it started talking about Civid 19. Its almost like.. gasp.. the virus messed nintendo up
*pretends to be shocked*

Weird how literally every OTHER company is doing fine with this virus

 

[Sigran101]

Kelios was asked about another Direct and this is what they said
View attachment 279426
Not going to get my expectations extremely high after last night, but I'm hopeful Nintendo will have something else soon

Honestly I trust Kelios nearly 100% right now. I mean nailing that a direct would be announced at ****ing midnight? Come on. Looks like there's more to look forward to soon.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Cadence of Hyrule was pretty hype, I don’t own the game but now I want to get it just for Skull Kid.

Ahhh yes I love it when Nintendo walks 10 steps backwards and gatekeeps their regional stuff. Everything old is new again

 

[Vector Victor]

I waited until it was done, saw that YouTube video was at 60% positive, figured it was meh then.

All Microsoft has to do later this week is show off just one of their big name exclusives and it will automatically beat out Nintendo.

 

[waterhasataste]

I hope so. But the Mini Direct implied it was a series. I hope Kelios is not referring to more of these

Honestly, yeah. It sucks for now but patience will pay off eventually. Give it time, Genobros.

 

[Enigma735]

Well, that Direct was surely something.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

It was Japan only who said 10 minutes (and theirs was actually 12 minutes).
NoA and NoE didn't specify times.

The Japanese version had more games one of which was Atlier Ryzer or whatever it’s called.

 

[Deleted member]

Cadance of Hyrule was neat and the SMT stuff was cool, but other than that the direct was pretty eh.

Hopefully we get a proper Nintendo general direct at least by August.

 

[pinshadow]

I mean, I'm just happy they announced SOMETHING substantial in this, it's actually really nice to see it after this long but like, is now REALLY the time to be revealing 2021 games Nintendo? I mean this was probably meant to be at E3, but plans change and this is what you come up with? I guess more Atlus's "Fault" but it's like, Nintendo, what are you even doing at this point? You have literally no games releasing the rest of the year.

 

[Paraster]

I think the mini directs could turn out to be a decent idea if, in the long run, they end up posting them more often.

 

[a random user]

more presentations could Just as easily be wait 2 months for 5 more niche games

 

[YsDisciple]

Like mentioned by Venus of the Desert Bloom , the Japan Mini really had a bit more games.

EDIT: Japan Mini also has a better Like/Dislike rate than the NA one (yikes).

 

[TTF]

My summed up reaction to that.
