So it's looks like Nintendo will change the direct formula with more like treehouse presentations ?
I need to see more about paper Mario
WayForward game is donkey Kong

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I dunno if the WF announcement tomorrow is the big one I heard rumblings about a while back, but if it is... buckle up, kiddos.
(the one I'm thinking of has nothing to do with Nintendo)

Well, apparently this announcement has something to do with Nintendo.

YO.
So, I'm just going to assume that WF title is tied to a Nin property and hope to christ its something awesome.
Edit: The dream is dead. Fucking. Dead.

Sounds like a good fit? Shantae's pretty similar if I remember right.

In a perfect world it would be a remake of Zelda 2. WayForward already showed they wanted to do it with that Adventure Time game.

I'm glad Nintendo set expectations for the Wayforward game, but it is still interesting they mentioned them in the upcoming Treehouse. Looking forward to it!

Normally we get tree house with big new games around this time of the year. Now paper mario and indie crap.
silence your negative attitude peasant. Indies are the best.

Interesting. I wonder if we will see a few announcements like this in lieu of a traditional direct.

rumor has it we will be getting a more traditional presentation in a week or so around the 20th

Seems likely-wondering if maybe we get a few of these treehouses as well then?

could be, insiders are hesitant to call it a direct.

What’s WayForward?

That's what I've been reading as well. I could see a few of these + mini (micro?) direct over the next week and a half or so. Might line up with the "not a direct" rumor.
I think the direct format is incredibly effective (so much so that even Sony does what Nintendid). Nintendo can be very strange about announcements though and sometimes I feel like that hurts them. I remember Stretchers getting announced in a tweet-that game might have done better if it had a spot in a direct.

I am excited to see this Treehouse presentation, and now the bonus will be Wayforward's reveal from a third party franchise. No one should dismiss them as a lackluster indie studio. People should be aware that they are steeped in old school 2D tradition when making their games. They have made the great Shantae games, rebooted classics like A Boy and His Blob, Duck Tales, Contra, and even made a stellar 2D Aliens game on the DS. Let's not forget that they also helped Iga on buttoning up Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. These people would be great for a Castlevania reboot and I hope that is what I see tomorrow.

I rather have MercurySteam and Sakamoto handle 2D Metroid.
Edit: so its third party huh? i would bet my puppy its NOT Castlevania

Not to mention most recently (I think?) River City Girls.
Sort of but they've been around for a long time and made a name for themselves with their original IP and reboots as mentioned above. Certainly not your typical shovelware dev.

Yep that was them. Awesome game. Kickass soundtrack.

Could be something off the wall like BIT.TRIP? Not sure what to expect with this one.

You are right. I can't believe I forgot this awesome game. I even own it on Steam too! It's an excellent game and I think I read recently they got the go ahead to make a sequel to this game too. Let me see if I can find that article. If so, perhaps that's what tomorrow's announcement is about?

If it's what I think it is, it's not that. Way better.

Nice! More River City Girls is great! They said it is a separate project on twitter also, so not DLC.

It can't be River City Girls 2; the tease says "title in a franchise new to developer WayForward."
