LOL. How are you in a gaming forum about Nintendo Direct, and you don’t know the game already has a release date? Did you miss the last Nintendo Direct five months ago?

Imagine a shadow drop for it today if they announce MP4. That would be an insta buy.

I was just thinking that the other day, delay the latest Zelda, but then announce Wind Waker is coming for the Switch to make up for it.

It is fine if TotK is just a Switch game. BotW was a Wii U title, TotK is actually made with the Switch's hardware in mind. Let it be the Switch Zelda. And then let Nintendo worry about what the Zelda designed for Switch 2 will look like.

Better be good after that $70 announcement, or Nintendo fans are gonna riot….
Oh wait, no they won’t.
Oh wait, no they won’t.
The past Nintendo Directs have all been disappointing to me,I wont be watching this one live this time around, will wait till its finished to see all that is announced, if there was anything interesting, this generation was the first one that a Nintendo console isnt my primary console, I got the Switch same year of release,loved it,but now Playstation 5 is my primary console of choice, sick of technically weak releases of late on Switch....Bayonetta 3 was a huge disappointment, graphics wise,I dont Blake the Switch, but Platinum Games incompetence, they took on too many projects,game was rush and poorly optimized

There was a lot of backlash, but at least they had an excuse to do it.

I will not riot, i'm simply used to buy games at this pricetag anyhow. $70 for like a hundret hours i will spend in this game? Good value here

Which was? I feel like you will say "rising costs of gane development", but that affects everyone, including Nintendo.
The real reason is because they can, and they know the suckes(buyers), that includes me and you, will buy them regardless if it is 60 or 70 dollars, because the popularity threshold for gaming to be able to charge that much has been breached.
Remember people: Companies real friends at the end of the day is money, not you.

In honor of tomorrow's Zelda blowout, I am listening to the BotW trailer music from the 2017 Switch presentation. Shit is EPIC. Too bad it's not in the actual game, but good ol' Sakurai was good enough to put it in Smash Ultimate, at least
Just the music

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
This sheriff's office in CA confirms that this Nintendo Direct is a "once-in-a-lifetime event".
New hardware definitely being announced.

It’s at least utilizing new technology. The consumer can straight up see the difference in quality, which does make a difference.
But like I said, there was backlash there too.

Oooooo does that mean Zeldaaaaaaaaa???
Has to mean something major enough to get every one to stop playing their Steam Decks and blow the dust of the switch LOL

Pokemon DLC ?
More Zelda footage
Nintendo is smoking crack if they up the prices of their games for an underpowered consoles. 64 GB cartridge space doesn't cut it in 2023

Batteries wouldn't last on hour gaming with PS4 Pro specs. I don't think getting Xbox One specs with sub 400$ and the portability of current switch will be realistic either. Something between 2x-3x the power of current Switch would be more realistic.

BotW is already THE Switch Zelda. Yes, it was originally made for the Wii U, but that version is not the one anyone played or cares about.

Yeah... i hope the docked mode at least gets close. I would love if they released a second home console only model with better specs, but knowing Nintendo there is 0.1% chance of that happening.

It's at 11pm Spain time so yeah, I think you are right.

I actually think there is a good chance Nintendo says something about it now.
I think they will be vague, but PS5 is selling too well for them to just sit around and ignore it anymore.

Switch still outsold the PS5 last year most months.
It will lose to it, don't get me wrong, but Nintendo couldn't care less if it has a down year. 2024 was always the earliest a Switch 2 would happen, and Nintendo is not saying anything this early.

I think Nintendo has taken a lot of time to review their last mistakes.
Releasing Majora's Mask on the N64 was a big mistake. Looking at the receptions of Twilight Princess and Breath of the Wild shows it likely would have been much better waiting a year to launch it on the GameCube.
Releasing Skyward Sword on the Wii when consumers were losing interest was a mistake. It also likely would have been a much more successful and polished release as a Wii U game.
But those mistakes also what set them on the path they are on, and what lead to the Switch's success as well as Breath of the Wild's (they kind of go hand in hand).
What is the best scenario? They cannot burn 120 million Switch owners. They know damn well everyone wants a next gen version of this game, but that not everyone will be able to get that inevitable console.
They don't want to slow burn the sales of Tears of the Kingdom.
So instead.... Make a shit-ton of money now. Raise the price $10. Announce a free next-gen update of the game the day your next console arrives.

Long overdue for a Switch iteration containing more muscle.
Would be a great to launch TOTK with it.
BUT this is Nintendo so......
Really not expecting much of anything out of Nintendo here. It seems they're content to ride the outdated OG Switch
until the cows come home.

That one got me lol.
TBH after the 2015 or 2016 Playstation E3, where we got FF7Remake, Shen Mue 3 and Last Guardian I believe any game can come back. And then we got RE2 remake, lots of games everythought would not happen, actually happened.

Highly doubt any new console is getting revealed:

Nintendo says it’s not planning Switch price cuts as its console business ‘enters uncharted territory’ | VGC
Company plans to grow Switch’s 122 million installed base with “new and classic titles”…

Outside of the expected ToTK Switch model, I'm not expecting any hardware announcements. Hoping for a bunch of games to be announced and for more information on Metal Slug Tactics as that should be coming soon!
