Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

[Wario Bros.]

What do you think we'll hear about first? The Xbox business update event, or the Nintendo Direct announcement?

 

[Noipoi]

I watched the Superb Owl

Look at this guy. So majestic

I’m gonna assume the Direct unless the Xbox announcement is today.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

If this next Direct really is either a Partner Direct or a Mini then I’m fully convinced we’re getting a console announcement in March. No way all they have for the rest of the year is Peach, Paper Mario and Luigi’s Mansion. Only way I could see a dry year make sense is if it is the year of the Successor.

That's the big rumour, maybe it'll be on the 7th anniversary outright to show off the fancy ps4 graphics the rumours said they'd have. Of course, I care more about the FE4 remake. Come on Nintendo, I played the original just last year and I'm yearning for that garbage

Oh yeah, as somone who did watch the Super Bowl, the amount of AI commercials was absurd.

There was the Minions one, and then there was 2 AI Jesus commercials (I'm dead serious), and them there was the Microsoft CoPilot commercial which was very ironic given that the premice was they "They said I was too old to xyz, they said I couldn't xyz, so I used AI to xyz). There was a Body Armor one which purposely used very bad AI to **** on bad quality and artificial energy drinks, idk if that was aired.

Oh and there was a Temu AD was so bad quality that you can say it was AI generated and that one aires multiple times.

Anyways, the worst one was probably the Jesus Foot Washing AI commercial, probably because of the backstory on who fund them and because of AI feet.

CoPilot was awful cause how ironic it was


Oh wait, there was a good one with Google Pixel, but that's because the commercial was showcasing their Camera AI to detect objects and sound it out to the user.

 

[Dukefire]

Offtopic for a bit, I do wish this game would return as a good remastered version. Literally DnD in gaming format with silly antics and friends.

Tbf, the minions one was taking the piss out of AI. Pretty sure the CEO hates the **** out of AI

It was, but then like 2 breaks later Jesus Feet AI so it was a tonal whiplash.

Huh no direct announced, but I suppose if it’s a partners showcase they might just drop it randomly. Or it gets announced tomorrow, because i can’t see Thursday happening.

Usually they announce **** on tuesdays for the very next day, refresh my memory here but is there a reason thursday's out of the question for you?

It’s just been very rare for us to get presentations then the past few years iirc. A lot of the time it’s a Tuesday or Wednesday. Not impossible but I would say the other two are likelier.

The last Direct was on a Thursday.

Wasn’t it rumored for the 15th?

 

[Dukefire]

Wait until Tuesday or Wednesday. Announcement of when the Direct is going live is a day before. Nintendo has been usually following that schedule release.

 

[Z25]

The last Direct was on a Thursday.

Huh I could have sworn that was Wednesday.

Wasn’t it rumored for the 15th?

I think that was speculation on leaker/everyone’s opinion. With the leakers only knowing for sure it’s this week. The 14th was also big for speculation because Nintendo has done directs then as well.

 

[Aurane]

Video games aren't fun anymore so they're canceling Nintendo Directs and going back to making cards.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I just finished the fourth season of Breaking Bad and man I ****ing despise Walter White lmao holy ****

Here’s day 3 of the Pokémon rumors. Now this one is definitely not as likely as some of the others I’ve posted or seen, but I need it to be real lol

New mystery dungeon and an ace attorney game would be hype. A platformer game doesn’t sound that realistic though but I’d be intrigued to see how it works.

Realistically we're getting like, gacha gane updates and TCG stuff instead of this massively over the top wishlist **** lmaooooo. I ****in wish Ace Attorney had the kind of clout needed for this, goddamn

Chatot taking the place of Polly but instead of "Remember DL-6" it just shouts slurs because its trainer taught it to use them with Chatter

Anytime anything puts in a specific name of a game it’s hard for me to believe especially one that’s called, uh… Destruction Dynasty…

Xbox Business Update will be on February 15 via Xbox Podcast.

Tbf the produces of AA did say they want to crossover with detective Pikachu and think it be a perfect fit.

So I wouldn’t rule it out, but Gamefreak just doesn’t really do crossover games in general unfortunately.

I actually could see that name, but it flows oddly.

Dynasty of Destruction would actually make more sense. Like what if the plot had the UBS, Ruined Treassures, and Paradox forms as antagonists. Massive threats to the stability of the world working together. Hence a dynasty of destruction. The later games dropped titles based on teams and went for concepts, so I could kinda see that title working.

Xbox is able to keep the consoles alive by taking Hello Fresh and Manscaped sponsors.

Eh, I just don't think Ace Attorney has that kind of clout to make people go "Oh that's so cool" cause then Pokemon's target demograph might end up asking their parents for a game with murder, drug smuggling, murder, political conspiracy, murder, driving people to suicide, murder, a child mutilating a corpse and of course, murder. Not sure they want the association tbh

Not to mention that Ace Attorney (at least according to Capcom apparently) isn't popular in Europe at all, with the recent releases not even getting spanish/italian translations or even physical releases at all.

Although tbf, Pokémon already did a crossover with Nobunaga's Ambition and Tekken of all things, so maybe the idea isn't as farfetched as we may think.

Then again, that was on the NDS and Wii U era, The Pokémon Company has kinda changed ever since.

I mean, while the lack of Spanish and Italian translations is a shame and absolutely worth criticizing, they did make new French and German translations for the 3ds games which were download only English games for Europe last I checked

Yeah, that is true. They did make new french and german translations which is also neat and cool.

Idk, big corpos are weird AF with their choices.

Ace Attorney is sadly pretty niche all things considered which is a detriment as they really need to retire Nick from the protagonist role but they won't out of fear of alienating whatever fans are actually willing to buy sequels

Not sure if I have anything else to add, but yeah, you are basically right.

 

[SneakyLink]

How did you figure out the name of the next Doom game?!

Yeah I hope it isn’t all doom and gloom either.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I used to like watching the Super Bowl but lost interest in it a few years ago.

The entirety of Super Bowl LIII, including both the Football match itself and the half-time show, were all extremely disappointing. Haven't been invested enough to watch the competition for more than a few minutes at most since.

 

[Will]

I just hope it won't be doom and gloom.

Why is everyone doomposting about Xbox exactly? Are numbers that down?

 

[TheMightyP]

The next XBox will be a collab with Nintendo and we get the XBox Portable.

It's hella expensive.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Massive layoffs and murmurs about going third party going around
