Yeah, I know, and that's why I think it's fine for MO to take 10 min, if those 15 min has pace of the April direct. They can easily show another 8~9 games.

The spotlight wouldn't be fast paced if there was 10 minutes focus on a single title.
im still waiting on hearstone tbh. since day one of the switch annoucment. boggles my mind how this is not on switch because its literarly the perfect console for it
plus they have the whole treehouse special to showcase the game for far longer than 10 minutes
Oh, totally forgot about that but yeah, would be a perfect fit for the system.
We really don't know yet. Xenoblade itself is a standalone story with a definitive ending, though it wouldn't be terribly difficult to imagine how a sequel set in the same world could happen. Xenoblade X doesn't follow the original game in a super explicit manner, but it does make enough references and gestures to suggest that it is something that might have happened in the very distant past.
I would assume that this will also be somewhat standalone, but I wouldn't be surprised if it does wind up making some more overtly explicit links than X did.
Wouldn't it be awesome if for the next
Fucking
Everyone watching:
Fair enough. Though I'm not quite sure why anyone would buy a Nintendo console if they aren't interested in the majority of the first party output coming.

Damn, I keep thinking this is tomorrow for some reason.
I'd hate to be a Nintendo fan like you who doesn't like Xenoblade. Such a boring gaming world to live in. Your Switch library will look incomplete and mediocre without it.

I see. I believe the post that started it was something along the lines that Nintendo should have waited to release Switch because they had no content ready.

I'd hate to be a Nintendo fan that pesters every Tom, Dick, and Harry that doesn't care about Xenoblade.
Yes they won't do the thing they've been doing for like the last two E3s. Because fuck facts, only mindless gloom and doom.
Yeah. Reggie basically confirmed that it's going to be like April Nintendo Direct with focus on Mario Odyssey.
I guess I've never really associated myself as a typical Nintendo fan who just buys into Mario and Zelda and whatever else looks like it fits into Nintendo's image or had Miyamoto breath on it.
If you have a Switch and you're interested in all the first-party Nintendo games except Xenoblade then you simply have something wrong with you. Without Xenoblade 2 in your Switch library, it'll just look incomplete and mediocre. Xenoblade 2 will undoubtedly be one of the best games on Switch so get it together.
boiled goose
good with gravy
If this is a mostly oddessy focused direct with no hype announcements... Ouch.
My expectations for this are at an all time low for some reason. Just give me one good surprise Nintendo. And by that I mean a MHXX localization announcement.
I'm guessing it will basically be one long string of trailers like they had at multiple points in the MS conference.

It won't be Odyssey focused.
Why? Maybe someone have different taste and such, I dunno why it bothers you so much when someone doesn't shows interest For the title.

Alright guys! Xbox One X is too pricey for me this year so my full gaming budget goes towards Switch now. We have any leaks or teases about the spotlight?
People just have different tastes, man. Don't classify every 'typical Nintendo fan' as someone who likes Mario and Zelda, and that everyone needs to like Xenoblade. That's just being too narrowminded. Just let it go.
Reggie said it's going to be fast paced, and will feature number of reveals and first look.

Rad! I appreciate the fast-paced approach over lengthy demos. Treehouse live is the place for more in-depth looks. Can't wait!
I can't wait for Xenoblade 2 but come on man, different people have different interests.

Have you ever not talked about Xenoblade?
I wonder if we'll ever get another E3 like 2010 from Nintendo. Their last one that was really great I think. Feel like they could have really used one like that this year, but keeping my expectations very low given the short presentation and recent E3's from them.
At least Mario should be great, looking forward to that at least.

It's Nintendo bias. Nintendo fans are indoctrinated into thinking Nintendo games need to look a certain way and all play like Miyamoto games or they're not Nintendo games and then they don't try the game out because of this or show no interest in it. The mainstream gaming media runs with this preconceived notion, too.
Disgusting.
Can't wait for the new trailer to really knock people off their feet. None of you know what's coming.
I hope you are joking right now...
Yeesh.
Get off your fucking high chair pls. You have an obsession with this game that makes you blind as hell when no one is saying shit that you are talking about.
GET A FUCKING GRIP.

Imagine if Xeno 2 has English VA.
Honestly I'm not interested at all in Xenoblade 2. Part of it is that I don't like the designs of the new characters and how much of a departure it is. (even if there is less creepy doll face) The other part is that I was so incredibly let down by X that I don't know if the game we get ends up like that or the original Xenoblade Chronicles.
If the game's reception is like the first Xenoblade then yeah I'm in since that was one of my favorite games on the Wii. Otherwise... eeeeeeeeehhhh

Given that it's called Xenoblade 2 I would expect them to be going for something more like that game rather than what they tried with X.

Diablo 3 is one of the games I want Nintendo to get a 3rd party to bring over.
I don't know what to hope for from 3rd parties because what I mainly want is ports of games that's been out for awhile like Diablo 3 and Skyrim. I'm not even going to ever expect for the Switch to get day one port of games like the other consoles. So I'll leave it up to 3rd parties and Nintendo to surprise me and gey me to open my wallet.

In this lull between press conferences, I might as well post my spotlight predictions.
-After two decades of experimentation, Super Mario Odyssey finally allows two player co-op in a sandbox Mario adventure.
-Pac-Man Maker is another Nintendo-led Pac-Man game in the vein of Pac-Man Vs.
-Good-Feel is working on a new 2D Donkey Kong game with help from Retro. This is not Retro's big project, which may or may not be announced.
-Konami and Nintendo will team up yet again to revive an old property. Castlevania? Too safe. Silent Hill.
-Suddenly, Platinum Games.
-Bonus Ubisoft Prediction: Miyamoto will reveal himself during the unveiling of Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle.
-Bonus Treehouse Live Prediction: Shadow drop of Mother 3. The localized title has some variation of the word "end" in it.

Xenoblade Chronicles is one of the best JRPGs ever made, and I don't hesitate to compare it with FFIX, Chrono Trigger, etc. It's a masterpiece in every sense of the word. I rewatch its cutscenes and listen to its OST regularly.
Your post is pretty goddamn embarrassing.
This.

I tried playing Xenogears and I honestly don't think it works well as an actual video game personally. Like, the camera was awful, the world and dungeon design was confusing and samey and really needed to let you have dungeon maps all the time instead of in only a few places, and the battle system while cool in concept honestly felt really lacking in depth to me
