Apparently Zhuge and some others were expecting a big Microsoft indie game today on Switch or something so I feel slightly better that I wasn't the only person who was left holding the bag on a big indie thing we figured would happen today because, hey, Indie World where they show Indie games.
Cadence of Hyrule got shown off first in an indie direct. You know, the one that was based on one of Nintendo's more popular IPs?
Isn´t Raji published by Microsoft though? Because I swear I saw that game last year
So I´m the only one that thought a few of them looked interesting
?Cadence of Hyrule is an expansion to Crypt of the Necrodancer, so while it's based on one of Nintendo's most revered IPs, it's still an indie game. The **** that fatman's been having dangled in front of him for all this time is Nintendo's IPs, not some expansion to a rhythm game, their actual IPs. Some mindblowing reveal like Mach Rider or F-Zero or even ****ing Ice Climber would dominate the Twitter trends and completely invalidate the stuff we saw today.
A Microsoft indie game? Apart from Cuphead, I'm not aware of any major MS exclusive titles that fans are clamoring for on the Switch
It would have to be one hell of a direct for audiences though to make up for the obscenely long drought. The information starving tactics have really backfired on Nintendo hard this year, and keeping all these things a secret has done them no favors with people online
I don't really see that since this was clearly going to be Mario's year and Zelda was going to be 2021 like they've done for the last two anniversaries.
Who's saying they are? Again, all we know is "Some kind of news dump happening soon." Who's to say they don't decide just to focus on the rest of the year and early 2021, it's obvious games have been delayed. This isn't E3 anymore, probably just a normal direct, hell it might just be another mini like March. I mean, what do we even still think is out this year that hasn't been announced? The Mario Collection and 3D World, and with the latter I'd argue they would have pushed that back as well? I don't think we should be going in with sky-high expectations regardless of how long its been.
That would be really crazy lol
Same, I only bought Min Min, and her playstyle is honestly kinda eh, idk if I would’ve bought her had I known the moveset wasn’t going to vibe with me that well. Honestly though, i’m just trying to avoid having the Pass 2 Byleth on my roster (yes, I do believe there will be one, and it’s not Min Min) Plus I can just stop buying characters once my roster is a perfect square and not have to deal with the ugly imperfect CSS Smash Bros usually ends on
Probably Ori? Just a guess on my part. If they want an Ori costume to appear in the Master Chief pack it would be a good idea to get that on switch. Maybe it already is? Idk I don’t keep up with this stuff.
Indie games often follow the same tropes that just rarely ever interest me. 2D Sprite style, 2D platforming gameplay, 2D top down gameplay. It’s almost like if you wern’t a fan of the SNES then these constantly repeated trends won’t interest you.

Because like Serenade said, this is stuff that could dominate Twitter for days, even weeks, if true. E3 seems like the right time for a lot of it. Golden Sun? DK? Wario Land? F-Zero? That's just the stuff that's public and heavily implied, nevermind third party and of course Smash.
You may be on to something, actually. Recall that you can hold down the throw button to make the Mster Sword shoot sword beams when you're at full health. Perhaps a Geno outfit could make it so the Master Sword's sword beams become guardian lasers?
Where are Wario Land and F-Zero even coming from? You've never mentioned the former seriously and the only thing F-Zero really had going was the fake twitter account. There was that Wario Land VB remake for 3DS that got leaked alongside Warioware Gold and Link's Awakening back in early 2018 but who knows where that went, especially since Skip seems to have shut down and they were the ones said to be developing it.
It looks a little off, true, but I think that might just be because Mario's face and head don't seem to be scaled to each other quite right. It'd look much less uncanny if it simply took Mario's base head model and replaced his skin texture - and it'd fit in with some of the other outfits already in Odyssey, like the skeleton suit which also looks just a little off.
Wario has been around in some capacity since probably February 2019. Verge heard both Wario Ware and Land at one point. In September, it got confirmed that a bunch of 3DS projects got nuked and then it gradually started to come out which ones those were. By November, Wario Land, Fire Emblem 6/7, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, among others were ones that began circulating. Since then, Mystery Dungeon has come true and there's a lot implying Fire Emblem 6/7 Remaster is eventually happening. From around this time, Paper Mario eventually came true and 2D Metroid has since gotten a ton of backing.
I wonder if Sean Hicks will make one
I never doubted you dudeYes, this is true but I've been hearing since LAST OCTOBER that Nintendo was going to make an honest push to have BotW2 be 2020 and I even openly talked about this as far back as last December but, oh no, Fatman lied again, just like how I apparently lied last December that Prime 4's development was super rocky and so chaotic that it would probably miss E3 2020.
Geno (♥♪!?): Return of the Starsend Savior
I wouldn't agree with Crooner if I were you. He got banned for calling out Wynn. Might put you on the chopping block too by association. Actually, he was banned for receiving multiple flaming and trolling warnings over the course of a few weeks; it wasn't just a single incident. It's possible...smashboards.com
22 months of this garbage and now things are coming true or being publicly verified one after the other so let's just say I'm a little hot under the collar right now.
do you want... naked Mario with just a cape and hat?
Oh God, not like that lol.
Oh no, I'm not going after you. I'm just venting that I've been doing this for almost two years and literally this month is when a lot of the stuff I've heard in that timespan is being confirmed back to back to back. Because up until recently, I'd point things out that came to fruition and then it always be "oh, that doesn't count" or "oh, that's just a coincidence" and none of the really big meaningful stuff has come to fruition yet. It doesn't help that mods and even admins that I've known for over a decade have called me a liar and I've gotten some oh so lovely PMs from some of them where "they're worried about me" and not so subtly imply I have some sort of serious psychosis like schizophrenia. That **** sucks and I want it to end. Things like Geno have already reached a fever pitch so it's just a matter of when but the waiting is murder.
I wouldn't call it an expansion, moreso a new game using characters and such from both IPs, but that's fair.
Actually, yeah. Pretty sure that's where Cuphead got announced for one, along with Nuclear Throne, My Friend Pedro, Katana Zero, Blaster Master Zero 2, and some others.
I just browse Twitter for artists I follow/art I like and that's it.
Fatmanonice
potential Geno and Waluigi reveal as you predicted?Eh, I doubt it personally. I do think we are going to end up getting a full direct next Friday now. A ton of the insiders that were hinting at the "indie" stop, are saying it'll be a full blown one too.
I don't really think Naz is hinting at a character, and it's a reach to take it like that. Fan rules are all stupid and they should just go, and they best thing Sakurai could do is just throw them all out the window at once. That said, again, it just seems like a tweet looking forward to next week (because a Smash character WILL be shown off), rather than a explicit hint. Though if it is a hint, I think it benefits Waluigi a lot more than Geno.

Maybe the following is unnecessary, but while you aren’t crazy and sick, perhaps you could use time to calm down, relax, get things off your mind, not stress yourself out, ya know what I mean?
Well, if you really think about, there's only two big fan rules left standing that Sakurai hasn't knocked over with this game yet:
[edited to remove thumbnail cuz of a swear word]
Not to sound rude or to **** on your wants, since I don't usually post here, but this doesn't seem to be hinting at any one character in particular, just that we could get someone unexpected. I guess it could be Geno, but it could also be someone like Isaac (No ATs!), Bandana Dee (Protagonists only!), Sakura (Has to be popular worldwide!), Reimu (Ditto, also no indies!), etc. It would be easier to list characters who this wouldn't apply to.
