Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

There was like, one guy there who was somewhat angry. Everyone else (myself included) was either just expressing deflated disappointment, or was over it and perfectly fine already.

then I worded it wrong pff, my bad

Pokemon Guessing Game: Put 1-896 in a number generator and whatever number you get is the next DLC rep

Let's see, I got 647... KELDEO CONFIRMED. Ascended his Pokeball status like a king.

788, Tapu Fini joins the fight.

I did think it was kind of odd that the other three Tapus didn’t even get spirits in the base game...

Also, the reality that there are now dozens of new Pokémon from Galar I don’t recognize whatsoever has just set in and it terrifies me. When I was a kid I was so proud of knowing the name and number of every single Pokémon in the Dex, young me would be absolutely disappointed by my failure.

Fatman on any given day: driving hype, spinning theories, spreading purported insider information - “this is it, guys, it’s time”

Fatman on Partner Direct days: “lmao just chill out guys”

Just innocently quoting a post from the geno thread

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I wanna keep my icon Taiko but the KH art is too pretty to ignore

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Even as a Geno fan, I'm honestly more annoyed at the Partner Showcase reminding me that the first six core Final Fantasy titles still haven't been ported to Switch. Don't know what the hold up there is.

Lmao bold of you to assume that's ever going to happen when FF6 STILL never made it to the Wii U VC meaning if you want to buy the official release without it looking like dog **** you'd need to buy one of the 5 SNES Classics produced

674, and it's...

UGH, not a chance! I do NOT like this Pokemon, why is it that this thing has shown up every generation since 6??

 

[AreJay25]

Partner Showcase? More like "Partner I'd really like you to Showcase some god damn Bayo 3 gameplay please end my suffering" haha got em


Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is cool tho

 

[StrangeKitten]

As a Geno fan, I am disappointed and a little frustrated at the lack of first party news. Wouldn't say I'm angry. And at least this Partner Showcase was a good step up from our last one!

Oh hell yes!

So, to go back on the topic of speculation, I think these partner showcase show what partner are really important to Nintendo. The first partner showcase was mostly about Atlus. We already have Joker from in the first pass, maybe he was chosen to strengthen the relationship between Nintendo and Atlus. Considering this, the second showcase have a pretty big focus on Square games (Kingdom hearts, Final fantasy crystal chronicles and Collection of Saga). I know Square already have one character in the first pass, but maybe they would want another one to stregnthen that relation even more.

Another thing to note is how Namco is pushing more and more the Taiko franchise in the West, which isn't that surprising considering the success of Drum N fun, and Sega is pushing more and more Puyo puyo in the West too. I wouldn't be surprise if Arle or Donchan end up being a character.

Thoughts? Recently there's not a lot of things going on to speculate, but maybe these partner showcase is a good base.

Would Tecmo count even though they only showed Ryza 2 in the Japanese version of the first Partner Mini?

 

[Teeb147]

So did any of the 'insiders' saying there was something friday commented about this mini?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Nintendo was never real.

We all imagined it simultaneously after the accident.

Honestly I don't know why Atelier Ryza 2 was cut of the non Japanese version of the direct, the game is coming out in the West too. I'd say Tecmo is also a pretty important partner of Nintendo, especially considering they help developped Fire emblem three houses and both Nintendo warriors titles. I think Tecmo is definitely a developper that Nintendo would want to strengthen their relationship with.

They all backpedaled

Honestly it's hilarious seeing people act like getting two days wrong means zero credibility at all, though NateDrake insisted that it wasn't a partner direct due to misinfo from his source and Zhuge was 100% right

 

[SharkLord]

I hope the Taiko RPG games retain their crossovers for the west cause having Kirby and Marisa Kirisame fight Gore Magala is too cool for words pic.twitter.com/7NsRT55kWX

Jumping the gun once is acceptable since nobody anticipated a partner showcase even being a thing, jumping the gun again just one month later is just a terrible look overall.

That doesn't change anything on credibility. He was right last month on a Direct, he just got the branding wrong and it was a letdown. Now he was off by 2 days and ****ed up by saying there'd be first party stuff, which was blatantly wrong. If you genuinely believe that those mean he's absolutely unreliable then I wonder how you reacted to your parents bringing you to a theme park when they said they were taking you to the dentist

Yup I'm actually most curious about what he'll say. It was a mini and 2 days earlier. Guess people might take him less seriously now, unless he has some explanation

Unreliable: not able to be relied upon.

Example in a sentence:
Doesn't matter too much if he has insider info if he keeps jumping to the wrong conclusions, as the info he gives out is unreliable.

According to the direct thread on Era, C. Tsubasa insists something is happening on Friday and hasn’t shown up to retract that after today’s mini

376. Metagross
846. Arrokuda

Interesting bunch.

Realistically speaking, I'm not getting my hopes up.

There seems to be some confusion: I'm not saying 3D Collection is being announced this week. Maybe it will. I don't know. If so, we'll be surprised together.

I'm saying I was told it should have been this week with the Direct -- meaning the former was inaccurate info.

— NateTheHate2 (@NateTheHate2) August 26, 2020

Either way I get the feeling a lot of people here have trust issues in general

wow he got a few details wrong therefore his info being 90% reliable due to this mistake and his highly postive track record means he's completely unreliable like people are saying

I can direct you to quite a few posts he's made these past couple of weeks stating with supreme confidence that there would be a direct on the 28th, that it would not be a partner showcase and that there would be first party announcements. Seems a little more than a few details wrong to me and it still doesn't change the fact that he jumped the gun again when he should have learned better from last month.
You're free to believe what you want, I promise you I won't be posting any more of his stuff here if/when he goes through the same song and dance for the rest of 2020.

Very interesting. Looks like nintendo's unpredictable right now XD

 

[Deleted member]

At this point I'm starting to wonder if the 'insiders' are actually Nintendo Ninjas intentionally out there spreading fake rumors and leaks to make us distrust all leakers lol.

No, fair enough, it does count as backpedaling in my book, you're right.
I don't necessarily think he can't blame it on his source or whatever, but it does still lower trust in how good him or his source is for info.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I was in an accident and you didnt tell me??

 

[SKX31]

There's no way that a card company could suddenly decide to start experimenting with taxi services and love hotels - and then switch over to video games after that.

...Right?

Yes haha we've established how he was very wrong here despite reliable and unreliable not being black and white, which was my point as people seem to think it's black and white by saying he's lost all credibility and how we were fools for expecting someone who's consistently been right to have info, this wasn't directed at people who chose to be skeptical in the future knowing that he's had misinfo but again, the people acting like this means he's only ever going to be wrong from now on, you know, like how people act like Laura Kate Dale never had info despite being the first person to bring up Mario and Rabbids on the internet

 

[Calamitas]

Our eyes have been open every day for the past 2 months and I can definitely say at this point it is kinda hurting to keep them open.

I never even said he "never had info in the first place". He obviously has access to some info. I just said that if he's going to keep jumping the gun when it comes to Nintendo then that info is unreliable. He already seemed a little bit too emotionally invested in his last video with statements like "Nintendo HAS TO talk about their holiday season" and stuff.
Obviously the more things one gets wrong, the less reliable one's going to be considered.

 

[GoodGrief741]

Watched the Direct and honestly it was kinda good. Not great, by any definition of the word, but I didn't get up early to watch it and had abysmal expectations after the last Partner Showcase, so it played better to me. KH rhythm game, SaGa trilogy, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, that's neat stuff. And there was a lot of cool stuff in the "not for me" category, certainly didn't expect 2 Taiko RPGs. So I'm fine with this, if Partner Showcases are going to reach this standard (which I doubt) it'll be better than nothing.

After this though? No way we get any Nintendo Directs for the rest of the year. Any Nintendo stuff will be announced on Twitter, and that includes Smash.
