Pyoro, a much more credible leaker, just shut down Zippo’s claims of a Nintendo Direct next week. Zippo was wrong, who’da thunk it?

Personally I’ll be very surprised if we get a direct before we see Switch 2. I guess that depends on release date though. Like if it’s aiming for a may or June release, then it’s can’t see them doing a direct without it getting a presentation.

If releasing Christmas time, then we won’t see it till June then. Which isn’t impossible either as Paper Mario and Peach showtime definitely would get a good focus in the next direct in that case.

Nah man, I sees it like this-

February direct to sort of wrap up the last Switch releases, get a release date on Paper Mario, tidbits on Peach Showtime, and maybe a couple smaller games, before they end with the announcement of a proper reveal for the Switch 2 in March.

And then in March, once the thing gets a trailer, they’ll announce a whole presentation for it in June. And then we go from there.

Do you think a new Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is happening?

Paris is hosting this year.

Honestly, I don't mind doing the long wait for a Nintendo Direct because holy **** if my 2024 list is already too big:

Let's do some math and for the sake of a maximum let's go for the most expensive prices: every PS5 Game except GoW, RE4 and Contra go for 80 bucks at launch where I live, GoW and RE4 respectively go for 50 bucks each, the Contra game is apparently 40 bucks, Paper Mario and Peach Showtime are likely 60 bucks, the Tom Nook LEGO set is 70 bucks and the Isabelle set is 40 bucks. Finally, Jean Grey and Cyclops both cost 30 bucks.

Tl;dr: 910 bucks I would need to spend at most in all of these. That's almost the whole salary my father had as a teacher for a month. It is a lot of money.
So yeah, I can easily wait for a Nintendo Direct if It means my wallet will be able to take some sort of air.

Probably. They haven’t missed one yet.

 

[Will]

Probably. They haven’t missed one yet.

They even have an Olympics game set in an alternate universe where COVID never existed.

 

[Noipoi]

They need to bite the bullet and make a proper Mario & Sonic Adventure game already.

I dunno what legal mumbo jumbo is stopping them, but they should just get on with it.

I'm surprised they never made a Mario and Sonic at the Great Vaccine Debate

 

[Shroob]

Mario says get vaccinated, because he's a blue-collar working man who needs to run a business and interact with people


Sonic on the other hand....

It’ll put what in me?

We talking Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games?

When's the last one you've actually played. I played Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympics Games (2010) but that's really it.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

They missed the last winter games in China I'm pretty sure

Be greater...

Stop liking or reminding me of this post on my notifications please. I've made way better posts than this one.

Anyways... 30 minutes left until the Fortnite shop rotation. Gonna see if we get something cool tonight.

 

[Shroob]

Wonder when the Peach is coming.

You'd think if there was a patch they'd have announced it by now.

 

[Knight Dude]

Going through Diamond Post-game. Trying to catch some stuff, still haven't settled on a 6th team member, but there's Weavile or Garchomp.

If the Switch 2 is backwards compatible, I'm really thinking about modding my current Switch, mostly for Smash.

I feel like they'd be losing a lot of money if they did NOT make it back compat. Unless they choose to go back to disc based games.

The demo of the 2012 game on 3DS? Don't think I've ever played them outside of that.

Warchamp7 I apologize if witnessing my raw, unmatched level of swag becomes too much for this website to handle.

New Mario vs. Donkey Kong trailer.

Interesting that Charles Martinet is voicing Mario.

Man, I am just really sad and I don't know why.

Bruh.

It's just cause it's recycled audio from the old game.

I know you listen to the Kongversation. You have no reason to be this pessimistic.

 

[Wario Bros.]

If that's the case, Nintendo must have kept the original recordings as they don't sound like GBA quality.

That's not unprecedented. They've been re-using audio clips for forever.

 

[Noipoi]

I know you listen to the Kongversation. You have no reason to be this pessimistic.

At this point I feel like the next console is coming this year, and I also believe Nintendo wouldn't allow it to launch without a 3D Mario nearby. Which sounds awesome, but also means that I don't think we'll be seeing DK until 2025.

Which isn't too far off, but we've still got a whole year to go. And it would mean the Switch would go by without a wholly original DK game.

So I'm not pessimistic, just calling it like I see it

The way you said it made it sound more pessimistic than realistic.

Also, they just finished a Zelda, so they need SOMETHING else to go with it the way they had Odyssey and Breath of the Wild in Launch Year.

Mario and Donkey Kong both in the launch year. It could happen.

i think they’re doing a Peter and Miles duo series

Hmm...

They do seem to be pushing Mario and DK as a sorta "frenemies" duo recently, what with the movie and the theme park and bringing back Mario vs Donkey Kong...

And while doubling up on platformers like it's the 90s isn't really in vogue anymore, I suppose they could offset that with something like a new Fire Emblem, good third party support, and a gimmicky launch title to balance out the genres...

And if Mario takes 3D and DK takes 2D...

Fair enough. I'm not gonna bet on it, but I suppose it's more possible than I thought.

Peter actually became one with Paul as Paul was the Shadow version of Peter Parker and now Peter Parker and Paul are the same person

With how many episodes Star Wars: The Clone Wars has, I'm going to watch at least 3 episodes each day.

Happens all the time to me.
