Where is Miyamoto in general?  I swear we really haven't seen him since his terrible Project Robot reveal.  And yeah, no Chibi.  Almost no point in ever expecting that title again, except as a side character or in some odd side scrolling adventure.

I think Miyamoto's semi-retired as the figurehead of Nintendo.  Miyamoto, Reggie, and Iwata were pretty much the faces of Nintendo during the dark times.  They had super memorable presentations, but they were also sort of characters and they distracted by being a cult of personality.  Could be that they just want to move forward with younger guys.

Just to add on this, Miamoto started working for Nintendo in 1977, so over 40 years ago. I'm pretty sure that by now, he's mostly just overseeing  the training the next generation of programmers at Nintendo, teaching them some tricks, and come up with some ideas once in a while.

In other words, I think he will soon retire entirely from the business. After all, he's 66 years old, that's a proper retirement age already.

PS : Pikmin 4 was Hey ! Pikmin all along. Why do people still persist in believing otherwise ...

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-06-14-miyamoto-pikmin-4-still-progressing

One month before Hey! Pikmin came out they said "We can confirm that Pikmin 4 is in development but that is all we can confirm at present." So it wasn't the same game, but it's obviously going through development hell or been cancelled. As back in 2015 Miyamoto said "It's actually very close to completion."

So they weren't the same games, whether Pikmin 4 is still in development at all, or has been restarted from scratch, or the same project is still slowly struggling on? dunno.

Daemon X Machina September 13

With all the significant games releasing in September, I'm worried that it's going to be DOA.

At least it comes one week before all the other big hitters

I thought the first party content was kind of disappointing. Breath of the Wild 2 is nice, but at probably two years away give or take 8 months, and Animal Crossing only available in 2020 is not what I was hoping for. The Smash reveals were cool but how excited should we get for the chance to pay to add two more characters on the already gigantic roster? Is the mecha game first party.? I guess Inshould give credit for that if it’s so. Just about everything else was known and only Pokémon and maybe Mario and Sonic are exciting from a 2019 sales perspective.

The good news is the third party situation is solid. Not everything was new but still, Marvel UA3, Final Fantasy 8, Witcher 3, new Platinum game, two more Resident Evils, Trials of Mana, this is the kind of support Nintendo home consoles have been missing since SNES.

I know when I think Contra, I think playing as a cyborg pandas!

Seriously, what was up with that?

i've never played it but isn't Contra coming back a big deal sort of? like hasn't it been not seen for ages? Especially with Konami hardly making console games anymore then this just comes out of nowhere but hardly anyone talking about it, probably because it looks budget as hell but still 

they had a different trailer on their youtube that I think made it look like it could be dumb potential fun at least 

This is definitely not what I would have preferred from a new Contra title, but I'll buy it.  It might be good.

Astral Chain is back on this time they're going into more detail on the mechanical depth.

In true presentation fashion the person playing is getting destroyed.

ASTRAL CHAIN LOOKS SO GOOOOOD



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
