They can shadowdrop it at your place, no problem.

I see them announcing 4 for 2025, then shadowdropping 2 and announcing 3 for early in the holiday shopping season, or even October.

They made one of the other DQ 1-3 shitty mobile game looking sprite collection so I don’t see why they wouldn’t do the same for this fancy looking 1-3 collection. Well provided that one rumor is true about it being more than just 3.

I am expecting proper remakes to involve some work, so if they shadow drop these, they are going to be HD ports and that would suck.

Did you not see how good Prime 1 remaster was?

This is precisely why I don't want HD ports of 2 and 3, but proper remakes like the first game.

Just wait for March 2025.
Thank you and please understand.

Tomorrow is perfect timing for me so that's good.
I imagine most big things will be saved for Switch 2, but I do think Prime 4, FE4 remake and either Donkey Kong, 2D Zelda or Tomodachi could appear.

I do think that happens this year, but they won't snnounce it in a Direct.
Why do you think Nintendo would have already shown a trailer if Prime was coming?
I think their point is that the Prime 1 remaster was shadow dropped. So that type of announcement doesn't have to be an indication of the amount of work put in.
I see it being more likely for those to release next year instead of this year.

I think we might get a brief comment from the CEO, and show a new bundle or something for $50 cheaper.

Oh yeah...I forgot about that "collection". Man, that was disappointing.

I can't think of any general Directs where they have announced a bundle. Usually its a Twitter announcement and press release.
Mainly because they briefly teased the game 7 years ago. Leads me to think that we'd get more advance notice than tomorrow for an Oct/Nov release. IT's also not the type of game they can whip up in less than a year so they would have also have advance notice themselves that it was ready.

We ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space
Development got completely restarted 5 years ago, though. It's imminent, the question is just whether it's a Switch swan song game, cross-gen, or Switch 2 only now.

It's possible you're right. But given that Nintendo often announces new games less than 6 months before release, I don't think them releasing the first gameplay footage less than 6 months before release is out of the question.
IT's not out of the question. But the long development time. The previous early tease. That spells more advance warning than usual. That's why I would bet against it.

Crossing my fingers for good announcements. No Switch 2 is a bummer.

They announced Dread at E3 and released it that same year. June announcement, October release.
Metroid Prime 1 Remake got shadow dropped same day.

Yeah agree, but still, pretty cool for them to temper expectations.

Glad to see i'm not the only one excited for the new Fantasy Life, I love the 3DS game and can't wait to jump in with the new one. I think its a game my daughter and I could play together so that will be great.
Glad to see this being announced, I knew it had to be soon. Hoping for at least a few games to ride out the rest of this year with, but I am already sold on DQ III HD-2D and fantasy life, so a few other games to go with that will let me be content for the rest of the year. I guess we will see what Nintendo does with the last Direct focused solely on the current Switch, but I still think most big stuff will be saved for the Switch 2, although maybe we might hear something on Prime 4. Still, I am always down for the Nintendo hype train, so bring it on!
Yep but they never teased any of those of projects 7 years prior. Those projects are much shorter projects. And neither has the cache of a new MP release.
Of course anything is possible. IT's not a law of physics.

Yeah, who knows. I think marketing is a strategy, and we can only guess what it is.
I think they know Metroid is only for hardcore gamers, not the larger casual audience. The series has never really taken off and barely sold more than 2 million an entry. Hardcore gamers don't really need to be marketed to, because they will know about the games from places like this. I think they announced hardcore titles early to just sell the Switch system itself, like Bayonetta 3 and Prime 4.
There's probably not going to be a prolonged marketing blitz for Prime 4.

Metroid prime 4 and hopefully prime 2 remaster shadow drop.

well that would just be another reason to tease MP4 already. I assume they would have known in Feb if MP4 was coming out by Nov.
Definitely true it isn't a big franchise for them. That's why I don't see it as a showcase title for Switch 2 either as a rule of thumb. Unless Switch 2 has some unique hardware feature
I also think it isn't out of the question the whole project gets shelved.
but, at the end day...none of us know for sure when/if the game is coming out.

I kinda don't want MP4 to be on Switch. At this point it's better to be Switch 2 day 1 game IMO.
PLEASE JUST SAY THE WORD METROID.

They already did a public apology once. They're not skipping the Switch. At best, you'd get a dual release like Twilight Princess.

I could believe that. We know Nintendo specifically requested Live A Live 1 remake.

Forgive my ignorance here, but does anybody know what the XR project assistance is?
Smart move to just immediately lay out that a new system isn't being announced. It's actually pretty shocking they haven't announced one by now, so that's obviously what people would've expected.
The only thing I would really imagine having much impact would be DLC for Tears of the Kingdom. Nintendo Directs tend to be pretty hit-or-miss affairs, so I'm personally not getting my hopes up for anything in particular, but hopefully something cool gets announced. A slew of Mega Man games just got added to the Virtual Console, would be cool to see something new announced there, but pretty unlikely.

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
Why the hell would they do that now that the hybrid approach worked so well for them? Insanity..
