Official Nintendo Direct Discussion Thread - 9/23/21

[Hex D. Jess]

I'm gonna clear my schedule for the 5th
Also Jack Black as Bowser and Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong are both 11/10 casting choices, Chris Pratt as Mario not so much.

 

[Dukefire]

Yeah, true. When was that coming out again?

Later today

 

[Metal Shop X]

Some people may be unhappy no Smash reveal today



But we got a confirmed date. And a final, FINAL confirmation that this is the last DLC character.

No more "It'll be TGA/End of the year!" doomposting, it's 11 days.



Let's all chillax, and embrace the end.

Let's shake hands, my friend.

For while the end is near, but that doesn't mean we can't relax til then.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Well, Im happy. Monster Hunter, Animal Crossing, Bayo looks cool

 

[Noipoi]

Kirby in detroit
Don’t gotta wait for December for smash to end
Splatoon: Rise of the furries
JACK BLACK BOWSER?
BANJO MOTHER ****ING KAZOOIE ON THE MOTHER ****ING SWITCH??

 

[dezeray112]

Well despite no Smash reveal, there were a couple of interesting titles shown that caught my interest which include Chocobo GP and Bayonetta 3.

I think I will give my thoughts of the casting and the Mario film once the Social thread reopens.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

So speculation still remains alive for a little while.

Actually the real victory from this is we don't have people saying Nahobino is a lock cos "muh VGA reveal". I think it's good we can rule that out at least.

 

[Aurane]

Later today

Wait what?

Oh nvm then,, I'm pumped as **** now. lmao

 

[Lyncario]

I don't care about no Smash, all I need to know il if it was Vergil or not at the end of the Bayo 3 trailer. Also, Bayo 3 trailer poooooopopoooog!

 

[WeirdChillFever]

If we're getting DK and Cranky Kong I wonder if Pauline's also making an appearance. Also curious at no Yoshi.

waiting for the david tennant yoshi casting

 

[Mushroomguy12]

I have to say, I was genuinely shocked at no Smash reveal.

 

[Teeb147]

Definitely 3d Kirby is the best announcement for me in there :D

 

[warubyun]

So, two questions...

1. When is the Smash presentation?
2. When is the Animal Crossing Direct?

1. October 5th, a week from Tuesday.
2. Unknown date in October.

 

[BlondeLombax]

Behold the results of my Bingo card. I'll get a line yet, I tell ya what...

Spoiler: Still pretty big.

Anyway, time to go make some gumbo. That presentation made me pretty hungry.

 

[N3ON]

Actually me during Direct:

 

[Metal Shop X]

Kirby in detroit
Don’t gotta wait for December for smash to end
Splatoon: Rise of the furries
JACK BLACK BOWSER?
BANJO MOTHER ****ING KAZOOIE ON THE MOTHER ****ING SWITCH??

Congrat for getting your boy Banjo back on Switch, partner.

That was quite unexpected I must say.

 

[Guynamednelson]

Actually the real victory from this is we don't have people saying Nahobino is a lock cos "muh VGA reveal". I think it's good we can rule that out at least.

The way SMTV was promoted in this Direct makes me doubt Nahobino even harder. SMTV should be a bigger focus if they want to promote it so much.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Looking for Charles Martinet voice cameos during the movie is going to a fun little side game.

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

Deltarune Chapter 2 on Switch, Smash announcement, and N64 games on Switch proper.
Definitely worth it to me.

 

[KingBooGengar57]

What about that chocobo game when’s that coming out? I gotta start being poor and stupid!

 

[Pokelego999]

Jack Black Bowser will carry the whole Mario Movie

 

[Michele]

Noipoi , you were crying your own eye at how we'd have to say farewell due to the last presentation, and guess what happened? There was a date reveal, October 5th. So can we cherish the last moments while we can?

I feel like the last DLC fighter is either going to make or break the game. Remember Bayonetta in Smash 4? Yeah...

Nintendo is really going out fo their way to tell us this is the end.

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

I kept on ****posting on Vergil getting into Smash today, that I have now put either Dante or Vergil in Bayonetta 3.
Bow to me, peasants. I am a meme legend on par with Evil Trapezium who resurrected TimeSplitters.

 

[Ivander]

2 More Weeks! I mean, I did call that possibility of no direct reveal, but an announcement for the next Sakurai Presents.

That aside, I thought it was a good Direct. Had trailers for games I'm interested in and some neat surprises too, especially the Square Enix games and Sega Genesis Switch Online titles.

Also, the frickin' cast choices for the Mario movie. Especially Jack Black for Bowser.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

BAYONETTA 3

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Yeah Banjo pretty much convinced me on buying the NSO expansion lol.

 

[Noipoi]

Congrat for getting your boy Banjo back on Switch, partner.

That was quite unexpected I must say.

They snuck that **** in like I wouldn’t see.

But I saw.

And I screamed.

 

[Deleted member]

You know what? Thank GOD the last character will be revealed in 2 Tuesdays. Now I can say what 5 games I can see being in CP11 since I never got around to doing it in the next 11 days.

 

[kylexv]

Quick Direct Thoughts:

• Kind of weird to open the direct with Monster Hunter Rise DLC of all things
• The first 3D Kirby game...ever just got revealed. Very excited to check this one out when it launches (Apparently this got leaked? Someone, please elaborate)
• Mario Golf update was expected. Too bad nobody cares about that game anymore.
• The leaked Castlevania collection getting shadowdropped was pretty interesting.
• A bit bummed that we didn't get the Smash reveal, but I'm glad we got a concrete date that's less than 2 weeks away
• Splatoon 3 news was expected but quite welcome.
• We FINALLY see Bayonetta 3 footage after almost 4 years. Although I don't like the new voice for Bayo....

Overall slightly above average. Knew it wasn't going to be as good as the E3 direct going in so I'm not terribly surprised. There's nothing I'm overly ecstatic about, but also nothing that really disappointed me.

...Oh, and the Mario Movie news was the most elaborate ****post I've ever seen. Was laughing my ass off the entire time.

Nintendo is really going out fo their way to tell us this is the end.

I can think of at least 2 people who despite all this, will still say this isn't the end.

 

[DittoInDisguise]

Yeah Banjo pretty much convinced me on buying the NSO expansion lol.

Hey give sonic some credit

 

[TheSwiftLancer]

So Astral Chain and Bayonetta are in the same universe?

That's.. pretty neat.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

This was a pretty good direct in general, I'd give it a B (no plus or minus, just B).

 

[Trevenant]

The way SMTV was promoted in this Direct makes me doubt Nahobino even harder. SMTV should be a bigger focus if they want to promote it so much.

The timing alone shows it just probably isn't happening so I don't really think we need much else.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Ok but SEGA GENESIS NSO

I did not expect that

 

[Noipoi]

Jack Black Bowser will carry the whole Mario Movie

I feel like Charlie Day’s panicked energy could bring something interest to Luigi’s character.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Hey give sonic some credit

Sonic's great but I already played it on a bunch of other systems, meanwhile I don't have an Xbox so this'll be a great opportunity for me personally.

 

[Z25]

I'm just saying, very interesting that smash was used to Segway into Kirby. Probably means nothing though.
