Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo Direct Announced for Thursday March 8th at 5PM EST

I didn't watch the whole thing but I watched the Octopath Traveler trailer and oh my, that game looks SO amazing and the combat looks super fun and interesting. I love job systems.

-south park for switch
-SSB port

-mario tennis aces (well they said it)
-Wolfenstein II release date

diablo 3 on switch announced

i will shroud myself in victory. I so called South park ! which i'm very happy about, since i dont own a xbox one or a ps4. i was really waiting for this one. i just hope that the first one will be availaible too.

Smash is great. now to see if it's a new game or a port.

Also, Nintendo what are you doing?! Luigi’s Mansion should have been a Switch title aswell! SMH.

Yeah I groaned when I saw that. Makes me worry about the prospects of Luigi's Mansion 3, especially if NextLevelGames is making the remake. Like obviously it's inevitable, but later rather than sooner.

Yeah, it should be a nice cross platform game so Luigi's mansion 3 will have a fanbase on Switch.

That smash revealed save the direct for me. It’s an okay direct for me. COD IIII reveal would have been big though but alas it didn’t happened.
Crash coming to switch is cool and all but the whole direct is port and ports. Hopefully the next directs will feature new games even if will be multi-plat.

Highlights:
Smash
Crash
Little nightmare which I think is perfect for handheld.
Luigi’s mansion remake!
And the amiibo dark soul.

So, I'll play the part of the 3DS defender here. Luigi's Mansion being a remake for 3DS makes sense because the assets are already there, and because the game was intended to have the capability to be played with stereoscopic 3D visuals (which the 3DS happens to have, go figure.)

That said, I am pretty disappointed that they didn't announce any new 3DS localisations.

Yeah, I understand that and it will not affect me really because I have a 3DS but still making it cross plat will help the fanbase on the Switch.

I certainly hope that only a part of Next Level Games is working on the remake - and especially hope that its sales figures won't affect the development of the next Luigi's Mansion on Switch.

Let's just say that while, as a 3DS owner, I'm happy for the new game announcements - I'm also not blind to the fact that practically every 3DS game past Pokémon Sun/Moon was most likely a sales disappointment to Nintendo.

I'll help you by mentionning about the remake of one of the best RPG's of the 7th Gen. Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story, seriously who cannot be hyped by this while owning a 3DS !

+ There's still SMT Strange Journey Redux coming in Spring ;)

*continues hoping for an Etrian Odyssey VI*



 
I WON A BET AGAINST AZUREN! WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Not ONE thing from my list!

Although Undertale was very cool. Third party stuff really shone in this Direct.

Maybe in the next Direct Nintendo will put out some bigger guns. I don’t need the 18th Smash Brothers game in the last 4 years.

What? There were only 4 in like... 19 years I think.

Including all 10 on Wii U and 8 on 3DS. That’s 19. This one on Switch will be like the 23rd one.

Have you not been paying attention?
