[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I don't need to see anything else MH RISE BOYYYYSSS

TODAY, WE RISE
--
Oh ****ing ****y, A new Disgaea yoo?!

 

[zumaddy]

MH and Disgaea, this is already leagues above the last Partner Direct

 

[ZelDan]

we just got double Disagaea too.

Anything else you want to double up on Nintendo?

 

[SKX31]

Paradox Interative?! On the Switch?

Mark that in the "Companies I didn't expect to reach the console at all, but did" category. (Unless I missed something)

 

[SpectreJordan]

Two Monster Hunter games exclusive to Switch? cries in Dante for Smash

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

MH and Disgaea, this is already leagues above the last Partner Direct

Bro Im eating good today, New Mainline Monster Hunter, Monster Hunter Stories 2, and a new Disgaea.

 

[RouffWestie]

It would actually be a crying shame if Mh doesn't get any newcomer after 2 exclusive games just got announced.

They were already on the Switch with Cities Skylines. The Natural Disasters expansion for it was what had to be censored in the September 2018 Direct.

 

[ZelDan]

Oh hey wonderworld look at that

 

[zumaddy]

Put Hades in Smash, I don't care

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

IT'S A PARTY!

I am 100% getting that MH game buy I need to stop myself from trying to get MH stories too

 

[I.D.]

RUNE FACTORY 5 BAYBEE

 

[cashregister9]

Rune Factory 5 I'm satisfied

 

[zumaddy]

RUNE FACTORY TOO?

 

[ZelDan]

Oh yeah right Jeff hinted at Ori Will of the Wisps

Already beat it on Steam so eh

 

[LiveStudioAudience]

Even as someone with at best a casual interest in most games, I can still say its a stronger partner showcase.

And Ori Sequel confirms it.

 

[Deleted member]

I told all of you this direct was going to be amazing!!!

 

[Perkilator]

I think this Showcase was just an excuse to shadowdrop a Monster Hunter Direct.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Huh, I thought Balan Wonderworld was supposed to be a Niights standin.

 

[Deleted member]

This could be Smash.

 

[Megadoomer]

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is available on the Switch later today!

Now seems like as good of a time as any to blatantly shill my Ori support thread haha: https://smashboards.com/threads/ori-lights-the-way.507238/

 

[SKX31]

They were already on the Switch with Cities Skylines. The Natural Disasters expansion for it was what had to be censored in the September 2018 Direct.

Ah, gotcha. Swore that I missed something with them, but their trademark series (Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis, Stellaris) haven't been on a Nintendo console.

So Balan, Rune Factory and Ori huh? And a Monster Hunter Direct? Now things are getting intriguing.

 

[Hokori]

I am 100% getting that MH game buy I need to stop myself from trying to get MH stories too

I'm already preparing myself for the hundreds/thousand hours I'm gonna end up sinking into new Monster Hunter.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

ORI 2 THO AAAAAAAAAA

dawg they BETTER put an Ori PreMiium Brawler in Smash now no excuses

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

MH DIRECT? Capcom, you're spoiling me!

 

[PSIGuy]

...they had more games in the first 5 minutes of this direct then in the entire last two directs combined.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

This could be Smash.

You're setting yourself up for disappointment.

 

[DanganZilla5]

Microsoft is still on board! They said that they weren't bringing anymore games to Switch but they did anyways. This might be a sign for things to come......

 

[LiveStudioAudience]

This whole thing seemed like the most concentrated effort to make up for the dubious reputation of Partner Showcases, and by god it succeeded.

 

[Deleted member]

wtf that was actually a good partners showcase

 

[SpectreJordan]

Ori 2’s coming to Switch, thus Microsoft & Nintendo are still working together? Yeah, I’m thinking we’re seeing another Smash character from them.

 

[ZelDan]

Balan Wonderland was probably the highlight for me.

I'm a sucker for a good platformer, especially if it's 3D since we don't see that as much.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

I'm actually impressed with this Direct. Nothing new that I was interested in, but the release date for Ori and the Will of the Wisps was a pleasant surprise (though I still need to play the first one), and they more than one game that was better than WWE shovelware.

Balan Wonderland was probably the highlight for me.

I'm a sucker for a good platformer, especially if it's 3D since we don't see that as much.

And a non-puzzle co-op game no less. Those are incredibly rare.

 

[LiveStudioAudience]

I'm not making any assumptions about Nintendo getting Ori Sequel other than Microsoft recognizing that Switch owners love platformers and its an easy sell to them.

 

[Deleted member]

Well, that certainly was a Big Direct. I love the Disgaea series, but the switch to 3D did not help it. I dont know if it was just the way the trailer was made or if it was an early build, but it looked like something that could have been done in the PS2 era.

Ori and Hades are both cool; with Hades available today, I may pick it up. I forget how long ago I saw the reveal for it; glad its finally available.

This all seems like stuff that would have been in a big Nintendo Presentation (coupled with first party announcements too). It feels like the second half of a big direct that they'd have around E3. It's about time they showed off some good stuff.

 

[3BitSaurus]

I'm so happy I lived long enough to not only see Microsoft bringing games to a Nintendo console, but also dope-ass collector's editions as well.

Ngl, this was the best Partner Showcase so far imo. Between the new MH games, plus Disgaea 6, I'm sold.

 

[MooMew64]

This new MH is just dead up Twilight Princess with the wolf lol

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I love the Palamute already

 

[ZelDan]

This new MH is just dead up Twilight Princess with the wolf lol

So...Twilight Princess?

EDIT: Oh I see what you are saying nvm. Read your post wrong. >_>
