They didn't announce a general direct tho

Worse than mid, got it

 

[osby]

You know, I guess having over a decade of piss poor 3rd party support made Nintendo fans just reject the idea of 3rd party games.

Idk, my only guess why they hate partner directs

It's because N64 is the only good Nintendo console and it had no third-party games.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Happy birthday, ZephyrZ !

LET'S GET READY FOR MIIIIIIIIIIIID

Let's hope it's mid, my budget can't support any more games this year.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

MR Sparks of Hope could be at this new direct

 

[TheMightyP]

I wonder what hidden gem RPG will be in this one.

 

[CannonStreak]

Wait, E3 was cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic, and it was cancelled this year too. Both years have had Partners' Showcase instead of a regular Direct.

Is it just me, or does Nintendo need E3 to happen to avoid doing the Partners' Showcase?

 

[Dukefire]

Well, I saw that coming. A lot of gaming news already dropped, so it is natural Nintendo does not have a lot of news to showcase. Althrough, it is better than nothing for the summer.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Might be dead wrong but I feel we could be getting a smaller Direct to make room for Pokémon news also this week.

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

Bayonetta is third party as the series is from Platinum Games and SEGA.

Bayonetta 3 announcement please?

 

[TheMightyP]

Ok but real talk, there are some genuinelly good third party games out there that you should keep an eye on. Don't count them out because funny wahoo man or green anime sworddude isn't there.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Bayo 3 is more first party but since this is a “partner” showcase we could get news about it here

Im just curious to see which Iconic third party games get a switch port this tkme

 

[Wario Bros.]

Bayonetta is third party as the series is from Platinum Games and SEGA.

Bayonetta 3 announcement please?

But Nintendo is the publisher

 

[Dukefire]

I think we might get a little more news about Splatoon 3 since it will be released on September 9th

 

[Wario Bros.]

I think we might get a little more news about Splatoon 3 since it will be released on September 9th

This Direct is all third-party centered so I wouldn't be thinking of that.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Just give me a cool third party port please.

..... and Genshin for Switch too.

 

[Schnee117]

I wonder what hidden gem RPG will be in this one.

The Original Persona 5

 

[ZephyrZ]

Gonna go in a trip to the Aquarium of the Pacific with my sister today.

I've actually been dying to visit that place again since moving here and haven't really been abke to because of Covid. The fact that it was featured in the Amphibia finale was largely a coincidence. But the fact that it's now associated with one of my favorite shows is definitely a bonus.

DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE

This showcase's demon is of the Haunt race:

“I’m Haunt Dzolob. Even if it’s the last thing I’ll do, I’m gonna prove I’m not useless!”

Alignment: Dark-Chaos

Origin: Mayan mythology. A mysterious race of creatures created by the supreme god Hunab Ku. Hunab Ku had to renew the world thrice, as the water pouring from a sky serpent’s mouth flooded it twice. The third one is currently inhabited by humans. In the first world, dwarfs built great cities. The second world, however, was inhabited by the dzolob, or “offenders”, a dark and sinister species. Some say their vile nature caused Hunab Ku to remade their world.

Skills: Acrobat Kick, Pulinpa, Dekaja

Next time, you will meet a demon of the Deity race.

Spoiler: Design Notes

If you want an obscure figure, look no further than dzolob. I can’t comment on how well this design manages to capture the legendary figure because we don’t know much about them other than how much they suck. I can definitely see this demon as a bad guy though. He even has manacles because he’s punished or something.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Idk why people woukd be mad abour a Partners Showcase. Ninty themselves dont have much coming out anyway but their partners do

 

[Megadoomer]

I'm hoping we get a release date for Bayonetta 3, assuming that it's still going to be released this year.

As much as I want to get my hopes up for something from Rare (like a stand-alone Perfect Dark re-release; I don't see them putting it into the N64 Online app since that would bump its rating up to M) or Persona ports (at this point, those games not getting a Switch release comes across as Atlus intentionally messing with people), I'm concerned that this is going to turn out like the first Partner Direct, where there are barely any games featured and it's only a good Direct if you're a fan of one particular series. (though to be fair, I got both Shin Megami Tensei 3 featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series and Shin Megami Tensei 5)

I'm concerned that this is a sign that Nintendo has next-to-nothing planned for the rest of 2022 (since this is normally the time where they'd announce their plans for the back half of the year - as it stands, it's just Xenoblade 3, Splatoon 2, and Pokemon Scarlet/Violet), but I suppose Pokemon works pretty well as a holiday release; it's just a shame that they skipped out on what was already (in my opinion, anyway) a lacklustre pseudo-E3 season for no apparent reason.

EDIT: some Dragon Quest news would be nice, particularly the Octopath-style remake of Dragon Quest 3. I wouldn't say no to Final Fantasy news either.

Nah, they are just salty mother****ers that only care abiut first party games and like to pretend people like Atlus , ect dont exsist

I woke uo and im choosing violence tiday and I refuse to go to jail

 

[cashregister9]

If there are persona ports I want them to be cloud versions because it would be funny

 

[SneakyLink]

The Original Persona 5

Bonus: Cloud version only because why not

 

[TheMightyP]

If there are persona ports I want them to be cloud versions because it would be funny

No way Cloud Strife in Persona?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I think Atlus is smarter then that. They may not be smart, but they are smart

 

[osby]

I think Atlus is smarter then that. They may not be smart, but they are smart

Yeah, but consider: port beggars getting monkey's paw

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

The only persona game i care for is P4, so if that shows up, its a win for me

Yeah, but consider: port beggars getting monkey's paw

In that case, Id consider that divine retribution and the port Beggars got what they deserved even if it means I'm unhappy about the situation

 

[cashregister9]

There hasn't been a proper Atlus Moment™️ with these ports yet.

It is just a matter of time.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Part of me wants the RDR2 switch port rumors to be true lol

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Idk, people seemed to think porting P3P and not Fes was an Atlus Moment™️

 

[TheMightyP]

There is absolutely no way RDR2 can run on Switch.

But GTAV is definitely in the realm of possible (which I'm kinda surprised they didn't do yet)

 

[Alphine Agnitio]

Somehow not as weird as most JP commercials I see

 

[osby]

Idk, people seemed to think porting P3P and not Fes was an Atlus Moment™️

That's because some Persona fans have a weird thing against visual novels. P4AU also got some heat for that upon its rerelease.

I think it's a kinda weird complaint to have. 95% of Persona plots are conveyed through dialogue anyway, 3D models waving their hands in the background doesn't change that.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

oh god

Gonna be honest.

These images look cursed.

Let's hope it's mid, my budget can't support any more games this year.

Lord help me if persona 4 shows up, im going to be crying for more reasons then one. Especially if it's full price.

High key no one's budget can handle any more games if they arent just rich

 

[Hadokeyblade]

An Nintendo Direct Partners Showcase is happening, guys!

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Man.

...I just want Mario kart news.
