Nintendo, if you are going to bring back F-Zero, then why not make a new game as well?
Overall one of the most lackluster Directs in ages. I don't mind a bunch of smaller announcements like Dave the Diver or Trombone Heroes, but the major Mario remakes were geared towards the hardcore audience...
I'm in agreement that Nintendo has the final say, but removing Xenoblade from the equation would not magically make room for a renaissance of older titles. Nintendo has made partnerships with outside developers that proved to be successful; perhaps it's time they started doing that again.
No, I...
Because... Canceling Xenoblade would not suddenly open up the floodgates for "abandoned" projects such as F-Zero, Kid Icarus, or Golden Sun. Nintendo as it is would suffer without MonolithSoft's technical expertise, which they've used Xenoblade to hone to near perfection just by getting XC3 to...
The fact that MonolithSoft has been able to release Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in such a complete state is a marvel. They've been busy carrying the weight of many flagship franchises such as Animal Crossing, Kirby, Splatoon 3, and Zelda to top it all off. XC3 got released in the middle of a drought...
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DLC will probably headline the Direct, and then I'm hoping BotW2 will finally get a title drop.
Silksong release date would be a nice surprise.
There's also word on a Metroid Prime 1 remaster, but it would be ideal for a package of all three bundled together.
Splatoon 2.5 is the more accurate title here. There's still not that much to make it stand apart from the second game aside from some incremental additions. One of the things they could have improved is the hub world, but it's still small in scope and lacking depth. Inklings have all these cool...
"The JRPG" is simply coming out sooner, just like when Splatoon 2, Smash Ultimate, and New Horizons got dedicated Directs. This is not the end of the world.
You don't have to be a fan, but nor do you have to talk down on it just because it isn't an interest to you.
Oh, so you'd rather have Xenoblade 3 take up about 10 minutes of the Direct? BotW 2 got pushed back to next year so of course XC3 would be a priority in the meantime. It's a business decision that Nintendo made to keep it separate from the main fare, which is rumored to come out next week. Just...
While I'm doubtful that the Direct will appeal to me directly, it's great to see everyone's excitement surrounding it. I can't wait to see their reactions to the showcase announcements, as well.
I'm expecting something for Bayonetta 3, Shin Megami Tensei V, and Doom Eternal for the third party stuff, among other things. For any unexpected first party announcements, we'll probably get teased with the Mario 35th anniversary collection or maaaaaaaybe the Metroid Prime trilogy that's been...
So is this it, just a Smash presentation a week after the PokeDirect? I'm all for FP5 getting announced soon, but I'm even more eager for a grounded showcase of Nintendo's upcoming releases.
Hopefully this staggered trickle of news doesn't become the standard as I think people would get...
Here's something more informational than the nonspecific tweet I linked to:
– 6 AM PT (July 30)
– 9 AM ET (July 30)
– 2 PM in the UK (July 30)
– 3 PM in Europe (July 30)

Clearly it didn't. I don't see the point in the curt reply aside from stating the obvious, but you aren't the only cowpoke who gets to spread news around here even if it was speculation, rumors, etc. I'm not a Nintendo insider. That aside, Nintendo told investors that they didn't have anymore...
Keep your ears to the ground but your hopes low: There's a second Direct rumored to be coming out on the 8th detailing releases for next year (and maybe a few other surprises). While I personally think that having it a week after the final Smash Direct is too soon, it'd be nice to have something...
I know what a fanatic is, even though I don't even qualify as one. Xenoblade is one of my favorite openworld series to be sure, but I'm more of an eclectic gamer nowadays. But it just strikes me as odd whenever a Zelda fan, hardcore or not, disses on XC for not being Zelda. Remnants of the Zelda...
What is the point of shotgun argumentation?
Xenoblade Chronicles was ported to demonstrate how powerful the New 3DS was going to be. It's by far the biggest game on the Wii while simultaneously having limited copies shipped overseas. It's also one of three games that people virtually...
Hopefully they're going to portray new content on Monolith Soft's newest game, tentatively called "X".
Here's the trailer for anyone who's interested.

And yes, like it appears, this game is going to be very much like Xenoblade, but involves more...
