Nintendo Direct Megathread

Its an partner showcase, if anything we'll probably see another new Mario and Rabbids game. <_<

Not sure what to expect from this so I'm not really going in with anything. I'm sure the internet is already huffing hopium for Silksong though.

It should definitely be interesting. I've seen a lot of very copium hopes from people on what they expect to see in this Direct. Like bros, even if Xbox was bringing Starfield to PS5, that game would probably melt a Nintendo Switch just from how poorly optimized Bethesda makes their games.

"Presenting Starfield for Nintendo Switch! Running at a buttery smooth 5 FPS at 240p!"

IndieWorld Announced for April 17

I'm a little more intrigued by this one than usual, because on the one hand the recent Triple-i showcase was absolutely superb so there could be some more really cool stuff in this showcase, but on the other hand there was so much in the Triple-i showcase that it makes me question what could really be left to put together a good show only a week after that happened.

Yeah I share the same sentiment of "what the hell else can you show??" My guess is any other company that wasn't at that specific showcase will be shown, so it could definitely come with a more wider swathe of genres/types of games than what we saw at Triple I

Ugh, watching the Indie Direct after the recent Triple-i Showcase really makes me hate the format it has more than usual. I wish the presenters could lay off the puns for every game and maybe not speak as if the entire audience is below the age of 6.


That aside, the show was okay but there were games in the ending sizzle reel that should have swapped places with some of the less interesting games in the main show. The game about making stickers is one that doesn't deserve a spotlight over far more interesting and in depth games like SCHiM, Animal Well, and Another Crab's Treasure.

Little Kitty, Big City looks like a cute game without the emotional heartstring pulling that Stray does, and it's nice to get a release date for it. 

stitch. seemed rather dull at first but it actually has a really cool concept to it, and if nothing else the logo for that game slaps!



SCHiM is another game that had a really cool concept, but I wish I could have seen more of it instead of the 10 seconds it got in the show. Should've taken some time out of the two minutes the game about making stickers got.
