The Nintendo Direct News And Discussion Thread

DKC was the reason I wanted a SNES. And DKC2: Diddy Kong’s Quest was the GOAT on SNES IMHO.

I agree, the second one is my absolute favourite.

Kyoto was an interesting choice, it being a haven of culture and gardens. I would have expected Tokyo, but because its Kyoto it means they are saying Nintendo is an important part of Japanese culture.

Full Nintendo Museum Direct for anyone who missed it.

The museum looks awesome.

There are huge replicas of Nintendo's past controllers and handhelds plus really big controllers to actually play on. There is also a plethora of stuff from Nintendo's toy making days.

The bulding kinda resembles a NES in shape and design! So cool!

It seems pretty neat. Maybe one day we’ll get another museum in the US.

The museum looks neat. I had no idea nintendo had made some of those kinds of things in the past.

Indie World followed by a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase tomorrow.

I need the Layton news. Nothing else matters. It’s been almost a year since the last update.

 

[A Link In Time]

Not the best Direct, but there were a few games that stood out like Tetris Forever, Castlevania Dominus Collection, Pizza Tower, and The Plucky Squire.

The Switch is gracefully nearing its end.

 

[thePlinko]

Yeah there were some neat things, but nothing particularly fantastic. Castlevania is the only one I’m particularly interested in and even that I’m more than willing to wait for a physical release to be announced.

Yakuza Kiwami is craaaaazy, I almost wonder if once Nagoshi left, the team was like "alright, let's get the Switch port rolling", though it is very odd that they're doing the first one, meanwhile the whole mainline series is on PS4/5, so I just wonder are they really going to try to play catch up and re-release each game up to where we are today? that's still like almost 10 full games to go over how ever many more years
I just wonder how well this game will end up selling, especially for how cheap you can get Kiwami on PS4, almost wish they had gone for 0 instead since that's more of a fan favorite but Kiwami is great too

other than that, I'm on board Castlevania and maybe even the Capcom Fighting Collection

I felt a sudden disturbance in the force, as if a million voices cried out, "Silksong?"

 

[thePlinko]

Apparently there will be a physical release of the Castlevania collection being done by Limited run games. Preorders begin on September 13th, which means that I will be receiving my copy in the mail next April.

I really wish developers would stop using Limited Run, especially ones as big as Konami.
