What if NX's final name is Nintendo Dream?

People in this thread mentioned EX Troopers and Kenka Bancho. I'd be pretty happy with those.

But not as happy as with Gotcha Force 2, which we all know Capcom has been secretly working on and is going to announce on handhelds one of these days to massive acclaim. Any day now.

If they're smart and want to control hype, they'll sign off with

"Thanks for joining us and we'll have another Nintendo presentation for you before the end of October/November/January next year" (delete as appropriate etc)

Would give a ballpark estimate and just stop people waking up every day saying "This is the day! Oh wait, it's not happening. Fuck Nintendo!"

If the reveal is within a month I wouldn't bother with that, of course.

My first thought: I hope this is Super Mario Galaxy for new 3DS.

My 2nd thought: Wait, Galaxy has pointer functionality that would be very difficult to replicate without losing the soul of the game...

My 3rd thought: Damnit, I still want it to be Super Mario Galaxy for new 3DS!
 
How hilarious would it be if they did a skit where Bill keeps begging and asking Reggie for NX info and Reggie kill Bill with his death ray eyes lol

Continued support of the GBA and DS made sense because both the DS and 3DS were backwards compatible. Having the 3DS alongside the NX could work but right now the 3DS price puts it out of whack. The suggested price of the New Galaxy 3DS is $199. Where does that leave the NX?

Really? I never thought about the pointer functionality as more than as nice gimmick.

The game is certainly playable without it.

250? 300?

Interesting... The description in the Japanese stream says "3DS titles released by the end of this year". So I'm not expecting any surprise announcements.

It's a simultaneous international Direct. There will be at least one surprise announcement, as per every other simultaneous international Direct.

Aww man, don't bring up Beyond The Labyrinth. I already feel bad enough about holding out hope for a Great Ace Attorney localization D:

there's plenty in here.

it's not just that there are plenty, it's...fucking...most people on GAF must have been active on the Internet around this year's E3?

and yet I've seen posts that are SURE that Nintendo is going to talk about the NX tomorrow


the near-complete absence of reason in every single Nintendo thread as of late is beyond my fathom

Why in the crap is anyone talking about a Mario Galaxy 3DS game. Talk about setting yourself up for a disappointment.

At the same time, the crippling pessimism that there won't be any worthwhile announcements for the 3DS tomorrow in the first Direct since March is absolutely baffling to me. This sliding scale of blind optimism to blind pessimism is a bit ridiculous. It's like it works explicitly in extremes in these threads sometimes.

That's most likely the current Mario Bundle.

There will be at least one 3DS title announced for sure.

I mean, Ever Oasis or w/e came out of nowhere, right? And I doubt that's the only 3DS game they're working on.

Nah. Within the next 60 days tops.

Honestly I assumed it was till the 2018 support rumor.

that will be the 3DS price cut.

Has there ever been a simultaneous price cut across all regions? I don't think one has ever been the "one more thing" before...hopefully it isn't this time.

They always say these types of things and they always end up announcing software outside of this window.

Also it's not weird but for massive games to only be announced for 3Ds a few months before hand. MH3U was announced in September and out in December for instance.

If Nintendo fans can hear a Sakurai talking about non-playable boss characters, see a caption below the screen saying "Other boss character appearances", and yet still think Ridley's shadow means he's a playable character instead of a boss... There is no limits to how unreasonable they can be.

The Ridley meme went completely out of hand. It doesn't make sense to me to this day.
Why Ridley of all characters? It's just.....wat

"Guys he doesn't even move like a boss character, even though all the bosses move differently".
