Even if the event was 2017 games only, there will obviously still be new announcements. We currently know of what, Mario and Xenoblade 2 after summer? I see no need to stress over a single line lol

Bruh, we go through this year after year. We go through this Direct after Direct after Direct. The word "focus" should not need to be explained. People know what focus means. It feels like there's a lot of amnesia that goes around when Nintendo announces a Direct or E3 plans.
Hmm. So that would be cool. Tanabe is the MP guy and he did work with them on MPFF. Are they big enough to handle Metroid Prime?
And if they're doing Metroid Prime then that means Retro IS doing fucking Donkey Kong. 😛

I'm not assuming anything. My first post literally said I hope they are not doing that, which means I am not sure they are. But there have definitely been plenty of shows where Nintendo really did focus almost entirely on games within that year, so it's not like such phrasing isn't cause for me to be concerned.
Don't get me wrong I know there will be surprises, I just hope there is a few surprises that will be from 2018 and that we can get a meaningful glimpse of them. People talk about not reading things in the press releases, but suddenly fail to read phrasing in the posts that capture their eye
The last nintendo direct which they said they'll focus on two games barely showed those two games, I'm sure you'll have nothing to worry about.

Ah, knew I would come into this thread with most of the posts being people overreacting and drawing conclusions and making assumptions from the wording of the short statements...no new games.... 0% chance of anything but 2017 being shown.... things never change here lol.

And FE Warriors. But yeah there will obviously be new announcements. We basically know Mario x Rabbids will be announced.
Or StarTropics! 2018 will be the year of StarTropics!

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
So wait, are we even going to have any new game reveals?
God, I miss the way Nintendo did things 2013-2015.

The cycle of waiting for the next event after the upcoming one due to Nintendo not delivering. As per usual people expected this event to cover stuff for this year and next year if not further, and now that it is only covering 2017, we are seeing posts about waiting for the next direct. It's a common theme with Nintendo.

Sirens go off, METROID flashes in huge text on and off, on and off on all screens
VT rolls for ten seconds - flashes of 2D metroid, flashes of Prime style metroid, screen goes black, pause then VT starts up again for another ten seconds of all new Multiplayer metroid
mic drop, walk off stage

Optimistic expectations:
Great impressions for Mario
Fire Emblem Warriors trailer and release date
Xenoblade 2 release date in 2017 for America
Actual expectations:
Lots of focus on the brand new pay-for-online feature
Zelda DLC stuff
Mario DLC showcase
Emphasis on some content that's locked behind amiibos
Announcement that Metroid and Mother are dead, now and forever

Retro focused on remaking DKC for modern times. What other popular western-style series was also popular on the SNES?
Earthbound.

Anecdotal answer to all the people decrying those of us that want more long term announcements: I'm probably going to buy a Switch when Mario Odyssey comes out, but I would be able to do so much more confidently if they would announce/confirm Animal Crossing for the Switch.

The last time I remember this happening was 2008.
So the "Nintendo Spotlight" is basically their Direct this year? I'm a bit surprised that it's only going to cover Switch games, hopefully that means they've got a few things to announce for the rest of the year, even if it's just ports/definitive editions of things like Smash Bros and Pokemon.

I don't want you to think I'm dissing Fire Emblem lol. I'm just saying we have FE Echoes releasing. They got this season pass and FE game year after year for the past 3 years. They're not going to show everything at E3. Yeah, they'll show FE Warriors. That's enough. We don't need to see FE Switch. Just save it for a Direct later this year or next E3.
They've revealed games in the past and we didn't get any information until 2 years later.

I see literally no posts talking about waiting for a Direct after E3. I see posts showing why the "focus" on 2017 does not mean they won't announce 2018 games though, so your entire premise is false.
Yeah the a free, limited version of the app is coming in Summer, probably with Splatoon 2. I meant more like a Direct or videos detailing the online service. I just don't think they'll show/detail all of the service at E3.

Nope, as you can read, the only game they mention is Mario, so that is all that they are bringing, obviously.

I'll keep my expectations low and hope for one new game that has yet to be announced for 2017.
Principate said:
Yup, that's what I'll be hoping for. There's good odds given that I know they have to have tons of games in the pipeline.
Where did they announce NES Mini by the way? I want to actually get a SNES Mini. There's no chance that would be in a direct though, right?
Locate post that said "no new games" and "0% chance of anything but 2017 shown". Or is this a strawman for persecution complex GAF?

it's never been a "Direct" except for 2013.

all the same thing anyway.

Is this even necessary at this point? Is it persecution complex when BS like this is a foregone conclusion?
Don't you get it, there's nothing to concerntroll about that fact. It's all about the alledgedly just 2017 games Nintendo has now.

Sorry, just woke up. How many 2017 games do you think they will announce?
Skittzo0413

Ah yeah, I doubt they'll say everything about it but I definitely expect a few details at the very least.
Switch has a right analog stick, which the Wii did not.
Admittedly it may not work for some games, but for Super Mario Galaxy it works fine (I use normal pads with dolphin)

Very interesting as I believe there's still some high profile 3DS games to be announced, I wonder if they'll really leave them for the Treehouse?
Dark Cloud
Member
Dude I brought that up earlier! Lol
People were whining about "oh you know 3DS games will be part of the presentation". Why aren't people happy it's going to be Switch only? That's the best part of this whole thing.
High profile, like.....?

They announced the NES Mini out of nowhere in the middle of September. At Night.

Perfect.
Keep the 2018 games under wraps until it's actually 2018, I hate when games are revealed years in advance it's a terrible problem this industry has.

Not my place to say, 3DS isn't done yet.
I have a 3DS but I'm fine with the presentation being Switch only. My days of playing games portable are pretty much over. Vita and 3DS are now finally resigned, and I pretty much never touch smartphone games. Even Switch when I get it will be played almost entirely docked. So yeah, focus on the Switch Nintendo. Show us dat unified development front >
This.

Ah yes, after they did such a crowd pleaser with FF, and having no (good) hd development experience, they should do another.
/s
I'd be much happier if NLG were on Luigi's mansion 3.
Both Sony's E3 with the big three and Nintendo's desperate January direct for the WiiU were/are nothing short of cancer. Stop announcing games with no release plan just to build fake hype.

Sorry, I don't know that anyone literally said that, but just browsing through the first few pages, just complaint after complaint after complaint on most of these types of threads is tiring and I did some hyperbole here, extrapolating some of the general sentiments of the complaints/questions, but I guess people calling that out and being frustrated about it is just as tiring, so I apologize
I guess I should have just ignored it and said that I am personally excited for E3 and can patiently wait for whatever is shown!You can't out your thinking about what 3DS-games you think are still in the making? Ok.
This is probably right on the mark. I would add one tease about Retro's game though, they've been working on that shit forever.
