A wild Sonic Forces trailer appears.
It's only in Japanese, but it gives us some story insight.

As critical as I am with Forces, I am super intrigued with what they're doing with the story.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

This is a good trailer that wasn't in the direct.

BUT WHAT COULD IT MEAN?!?!

EDIT: OH COME ON!!!

 

[Aurane]

To talk about the new UBs, Burst looks like a Poison-type. The other one's definitely a Rock-type.

I was thinking the same thing. My guess is that Burst is a Fairy/Poison-Type while Assembly is a Dark/Rock-Type.

Well, I'm trying to learn Japanese but most of that text was in katakana and Kanji and I only recognize Hiragana characters. - But haven't learned them yet

 

[Robertman2]

I kinda want to come up with some way to explain the Joker costume in Sonic Foeces

I would be happy with fairy/ poison. Might even make my favorite fairy pokemon if it ends up that

Looks like SNU got the jump on you, froggy.

In the words of an infamous Smash Bros. taunt.

[Fluttershy]

Someone I know of had mentioned that burst being fire/ fairy and my guess is that assembly is going to be rock/Ghost as it looks based off a possessed wall of some sorts..
Also did some calculations and I think that Lycanroc's Z move is going to be 160 base power and with the ability to clear terrains which is supposedly confirmed by Bulbanews..

Why would it be fire? That's weird

But I guess being fairy type would still put it in the running for favorite fairy type

He's got no chance against my favorite fire type though

...

Fire, clowns?

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

I do hope some of these cutscenes are still works in progress.

This looks super stiff.

Spoiler

Every moment I live is in agony

 

[A Distant Demon]

Anyone who has the Octopath demo know if Silicon studios is credited?

Gaf is saying this is being made by Acquire and/or square enix's bravely default team


that would mean Silicon is free to be making Bravely 3


AND I NEED BRAVELY 3

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

So, now that DOOM is coming out for Switch and it actually looks to stack up to the PS4 edition pretty well, can we admit that the Switch is actually decently powerful other game companies?


Seriously, Bethesda is backing the system pretty hard to the point where they're bringing Wolfenstein II to the console. Rockstar is testing the waters with L. A. Noire. When are other companies going to jump on board?

 

[Kirby Dragons]

Well, I'm trying to learn Japanese but most of that text was in katakana and Kanji and I only recognize Hiragana characters. - But haven't learned them yet

I can at least read katakana. Thought I'd give it a little look over and see if I could translate anything.

• The first card says something about a series.
• The fourth card says "Eggman's _____!"
• The sixth card says "You and Sonic _____!"

I didn't pay attention to the credits.

Octopath is really good. I cant wait to see the other 6 characters.

Saame,man this game is gonna be good

Saame,man this game is gonna be good

And with 8 paths that means (potenially) multiple playthrughs!

I'm betting on Ubisoft jumping in next. Maybe Sega/Atlus or Square

Fire, clowns?

They mentioned that the super effective sound played during its Signature move against Decideye which means it could be Fire, dark, ghost, ice, or flying.. Though that's assuming it's signature move is the same as its Stab which it should be..

 

[praline]

Oh also during the Ultra Sun/Moon footage did anyone else see the mantine with a saddle on it?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I wonder if a fairy/ Ghost clown would make sense

though when it screams, it does look like fire

Though that could just because it's the sun exclusive

 

[Robertman2]

Doom Switch doesn't have snapmap. Somewhat disappointing

 

[Schnee117]

Based Bethesda listening to me.

 

[A Distant Demon]

i really cant get over this 3rd party support. Bandai Namco is cool.

But rockstar and ****ing bethesda?
No one ever would have believed they would be porting games for nintendo 2 years ago. Crazy how much things have vhanged since wii u. Seriously. DOOM. on switch! im a little sad this was sort of leaked early because it's just so crazy and cool.

 

[Schnee117]

DOOM's multiplayer is an optional download

http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1432970

That's a cool solution to the cartridge space issue but you'll still probably need an extra MicroSD for the MP.

The MP was kind of average though as opposed to the amazing campaign.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

The Cassini mission is coming to an end in just about two days.

It's been many successful years around Saturn but I'm still sad to know that it's going to end very soon.

Bethesda's giving Nintendo a steady stream of ports while Level 5 was too skeptical to commit literally anything. Rockstar and Nippon Ichi are jumping in and Konami actually did something post shark jump, while Capcom is tossing over scraps and constantly calling them tests. And Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle even exists.

Nintendo Switch support has been bizarre all around, both good and bad. If you told someone this was the spread of devs supporting and rejecting the system Year 1 and what kind of system it was before this started no one would believe you.

Lvel-5 has an excuse, you cant play Professor Layton with no 2nd screen

Capcom just hates money

 

[PLATINUM7]

Gamexplain can't see the appeal of Mario Party Top 100 if it's just minigames.

Honestly, I hate playing the boards in Mario Party. Only boards I enjoyed was the Duel Mode in Party 3. Even when I played the game with friends, all we did was play minigames (unless, again, it was duel mode in 3) and completely ignored the normal board gameplay.

Really the biggest thing that's gonna make me skip it is I hardly play more 3DS anymore.

 

[Schnee117]

Yeah you can.
Layton games have been released on Phones and they can easily add in cursors to replace touch controls and the like.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

"Needing" a second screen is a terrible excuse imo. Like, it may enhance the games in some way SOMETIMES but I'm pretty sure you could port just about any game from the DS/3DS/Wii U, change the controls a bit to be more traditional, and it'd work just fine.

And if you absolutely had to have touch controls they could always pull a Voez and just disable TV mode.

 

[Robertman2]

Doom is gonna be the first traditional FPS on the Switch right?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Yeah you can.

Oh yeah, **** I forgot about The new Layton

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Someone should use the wedding amiibo's on their wedding cake

I think there's a couple of indie FPS coming soon to the eshop.

 

[mario123007]

-New Pokemon midgen, anything is fair game now. Still not interested in buying it.
-Samus Resturns teased my **** with something way too big, that's not cool. But hey, Ridley confirmed! I can't believe I'm actually saying this
-Watch Mojo's Mario Party's Top 100 Minigames is looking great tbh
-Minecraft 3DS makes sense considering touch controls and bottom screen inventory are great for it
-BUFF DEE

Personal Highlights:
-LYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYN **** YESSSSS
Please let this mean we'll get some other characters because while I love her, JUST her isn't enough to make me buy it.
-Skyrim releasing on the same day as Pokemon is the most brutal suicide I have ever watched Live
-I can't believe XC2 is a Gacha game. That Military Uniform Girl tho, dat accent...
-Octopath Traveler is the greatest love letter to JRPGs Square has ever made. This is what I love about them, and hell yeah, 2D-HD looks great. Also, I can't believe I can just ****ing kill NPCs who stamd in my way. Also also, bi dancer.

And last, but most importantly, ETRIAN ****ING ODYSSEY V DEMO TODAY WHAT THE ****ING HELL
WHAT WHAT THE ****
TODAY TO-****ING-DAY? ATLUS I WASN'T READY MY *** IS HURTING

*Logs onto EShop*
*Demo not up*
ATLUS DON'T PLAY WITH MY HEART LIKE THIS

Well, I post my thoughts at least on Xenoblade 2.
So... they don't just have a military uniform girl which I personally think she looks better than Altair, now we have a blade that reminds me of Nanachi from Made In Abyss, it looks like as if Nanachi turns into a bird like Narehate rather than a bunny.

Also Azurda's voice really made me feel like I am watching a Harry Potter trailer. He is also that small creature on Rex's back if anyone didn't know.
So... ok, Pyra is sort of like the Monado in the story...

To sum up Nintendo 9. 13. 2017 Direct:
Nintendo is DOOMed

 

[Aurane]

Doomguy would be an amazing addition to Smash.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Played a tiny bit of the Octopath Traveler demo.

I can tell this is a very solid title, though having very little RPG experience, I'm having some difficulties.

Currently stuck at Primrose's boss.

 

[Aurane]

Where can I find a round up of the revealed stuff in the recent direct?
