It was a letdown for me. I was hoping either for Metroid Prime news or for news on whatever Retro's next game is.

Maybe they will be shown at E3?



At this point I think it's safe to say that Prime 4 will be a launch title for Switch's successor.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Joker in Smash means P5 on Switch. :D

Not every smash character has a game on the system it would be really weird if sony fucked up like they did with nier automata letting it end up on another console just to not pay up for benefits 

Yeah the way Atlus has gone about milking Persona since P4G with the dancing and fighting games being a cheap use of resources and using Etrian Odyssey for making persona Q for 3DS , I feel this may have more to do with helping  Persona Q2  than a sign of Persona moving, my thoughts are Persona and SMT will stay where they are short term  but the future is anyone's guess.

Just like Cloud in Smash means Final Fantasy VII on Wii-U, oh wait... but Cloud in Smash means Final Fantasy VII on Swi-oh...

Okay I'll give you that though, Final Fantasy VII IS coming to the Switch, so there's always the chance Persona 5 will too lol :P 

As for all the announcements, honestly the big surprise for me was Ultimate Alliance 3, especially being Switch exclusive! I mean, it makes sense since it's best played local co-op, and the Switch is basically made for that, and as a huge fan of the series I'd buy it regardless of if it was exclusive to a platform I own or not anyway, so yeah, win-win! :D

To be fair, Final Fantasy VII Remake haven't even released on its announced platform tho (and might never do actually).

OT: I completely disagree. Their presence was decent, but far from the best they've shown there in previous years. If you're not a Smash fan, you're left with some good third party announcements, and that's it.

They didn't announce a single game there, or even showcased a previously announced game... I think that's far from knocking it out of the park in my opinion.

PS: But I totally agree that the event made 2019 look even brighter for Switch.

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Did nintendo win any award at all tonight?

No, but i don't think they deserved much. Maybe best family game for SMP and artstyle for Octopath but yea...

2018 was the second year of the Switch which is most of the time the year where you fall between launch and actual projects for the console.

 

Anyway, 2019 is looking to be packed. They have such a boulevard for next Direct/E3... like they really don't have to announce anything for next year and they are beating 2017 and 2018 combined lol.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 and that weird dancing gmae



Click HERE and be happy 

Eh. The SMB x Persona 5 was a great surprise but it's just DLC. CTR and MK11 looked great, Ultimate alliance looks dreadfully ancient and I have no idea about wild hearts. Honestly, outside of the SMB announcement, Nintendo had very little presence. Hell, so did Sony and Xbox. I don't subscribe to the idea that they "killed" it just for having DLC and multi plat announcements.

Yeah, they'really just leaving us out to die here. I honestly think Reggie was intentionally ruffling Metroid fan's feathers.

Alliance 3 was pretty hype. Really the only thing at the show that surprised me out of everything that was shown/announced
