Is this a botw twilight princess crossover?!

Looks like it, doesn't it?

 

[chris]

That was a great Nintendo direkt

People with the Hyrule Compendium are mapping out the timelines.

 

[chris]

It's tempting!

Looks like they've got the 2004 Resident Evil remake from Gamecube. Hopefully more games of that era to come.

And RE4 and Zero!

... and RE5 and RE6, so ... yep.

RE, RE Zero and RE4 are already out.

 

[Hailey Knight]

RE, RE Zero and RE4 are already out.

Oh.

Well, there had to be one dud in the presentation.

Here's the Zelda preview, looks amazing.

Jesus Christ on a crutch that Mana Collection will be 50 fucking dollars US.

GFY Square.

 

[chris]

Good grief

GFY Square.

39,99 € over here

 

[Frank]

You guys get a discount then.

It'll probably be 69.99 CAD, putting us in the Australia tax zone where everything just costs more cause.

It's $39.99 on the US eShop.

I WAS MISLEAD.



And the followup I never saw.



I won't lie, 40 bucks is still ridiculous.

 

[Celt Z]

I would play that and love it. Particularly when Link gets to this part:

"It's dangerous to go alone. 5 cents, please."

 

[Hailey Knight]

I'm glad none of the things I want are available now, since I'll probably have money by the time they are.

You'll probably need a new console by the time the next BotW game comes out though.

The worst part is that people will pay it. Because "Trials of Mana" will be getting it's first release in the west.

EDIT: Fucking hell, they're already planning on double dipping! "The Nintendo Direct also announced a full 3D remake of Trials of Mana. It will be released in early 2020. " Yeah, because it would be a shame if it were the only game in the collection that didn't have a shitty remake.

 

[Dei]

This should have been a no brainer from the start, but maybe Nintendo is starting to learn.

 

[Hailey Knight]

So Empire of Sin is X-COM but as 20s mobsters.

I might be into that.

 

[PatrThom]

Please inject Astral Chain directly into my veins.

“This might kill you...”

I'm not going to be getting Sword and Shield. One of the biggest draws of Pokemon for me is to be able to catch them all, and not being able to do that has killed almost all my interest in the games.

Why would you expect to be able to do that? It's not like that's been the slogan for the franchise since the very beginning.

Animal Crossing: New Horizon will have autosaving. That means that Mr. Resetti just lost his job.

Thank God.

Just learned about a game mechanic in the new Fire Emblem that is really interesting and will be potentially a emotional roller-coaster.

Gamefreak's Junichi Masuda released a statement regarding the issue of available Pokemon in Sword/Shield and beyond.

The statement:

Spoiler

Thank you to all of our fans for caring so deeply about Pokémon. Recently, I shared the news that some Pokémon cannot be transferred to Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. I've read all your comments and appreciate your love and passion for Pokémon.


Just like all of you, we are passionate about Pokémon and each and every one of them is very important to us. After so many years of developing the Pokémon video games, this was a very difficult decision for me. I'd like to make one thing clear: even if a specific Pokémon is not available in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, that does not mean it will not appear in future games.


The world of Pokémon continues to evolve. The Galar region offers new Pokémon to encounter, Trainers to battle, and adventures to embark on. We are pouring our hearts into these games, and we hope you will look forward to joining us on this new journey.

We hear you. We just don't care.

I honestly feel like this is the correct stance for them to take.

I agree, but it's annoyingly their go-to.

But they did do something about Super Mario Maker's multiplayer, so that was our Nintendo miracle this summer.

 

[Dei]

I like playing Mario Maker, but I can never make any of those hard levels because I can barely beat my own fairly easy levels. :|

 

[Terrik]

I find a lot of those levels obnoxious and never saw the appeal. I just want thought-out, well-crafted levels that don't involve me trying to pull off a 360 no-scope headshot on flying paratroopa. Speaking of which, it's about time to download Mario Maker 2.

So none of this you're saying?
