There have been many games that explore multiple characters’ storylines and paths. The SaGa series is known for it. Now, with Project Octopath Traveler, another is about to appear. Square Enix is about to tell the tales of eight more heroes and heroines. But, Nintendo Switch owners do not get to see all that just yet. For now, all [players] get to see are samples of the tales of Primrose the dancer and Olberic the warrior.
"All in all, Nintendo’s E3 felt really shy and not even more to being as exciting as previous years have been to stop by their booth. I wanted to give them the benefit of doubt after their rather unexciting video presentation prior to the show opening, but it unfortunately proved to be the extent of what they had to show at that time." - Eduardo Reboucas, Entertainium
“Too much, with most of that video being dedicated with detailing every single character included in what seems to be an Ultimate Mortal Kombat-esque version of Super Smash Bros Wii U.”
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Super Smash Bros Ultimate aren’t exactly the same kind of projects though..
It's nintendo, anyone else expect differently? Nintendo is stale until they announce another Mario or Zelda game.
I was hoping a glimpse at the core pokemon game and SMT5. However there was only smash (Which I dont care personally) and fire emblem didn't look any impressive.
No Metroid Prime 4, Bayonetta 3, or announcement of some new exciting 1st party i.p. killed it for me. I knew they were going to talk about smash bros, but seriously how many of these damn games do we need? The game is mechanically the same game since n64 the 1st time i played it. At least this is the ultimate edition and the next one cant just add more stages and fighters and thats mainly it... Can it? I want a complete overhaul on the smash bros i.p. it has mechanically been the same game since 1999... Thats a long time. Nintendo can reinvent zelda, mario, ect why not smash?
Also, the fact they didnt show anything from the Pokemon game so many fanboys on this site were swearing was releasing this year. But its probably because its so far out. Most likely fall 2019 or spring 2020. Which makes me wish they never showed that banner for mp4 if a year later they were going to leave us hanging. Metroid IS my most favorite nintendo ip... And golden sun...
Twinfinite Writes: Nintendo's latest direct was a bit different from past ones, as it had more of an emphasis on third-party games, demonstrating the company's shifting focus on how they want to suppport the Switch.
It’s not like Nintendo has a say on how third party publishers treat their consoles
Third party publishers are the ones who decide to support the platform
Nintendo didn't change. Thirdy party publishers are more supportive with those ports than they were with Wii U.
I think it's more third party publishers changimg their mind about Nintendo.
The Wii-U had mass effect, assassins creed, deus ex, batman arkham, cod, watchdogs and more. Both sides tried but ultimately third parrties follow the money which tends to be the better selling consoles. The switch is selling really well and because the switch's control setup and one-screen solution is similar to playing on a ps4 and a xbox (for example the controller buttons, clickable sticks, ergonomic design etc) the third party games that run on those consoles and PC can easily and im assuming cheaply be ported to the switch. So naturally, the third parties are going to run to Nintendo, but I'm not complaining.
Nintendo has stealth announced a new Nintendo Direct for tomorrow, Wednesday, March 7, at 2pm PT. Taking into account facts, leaks, hopes, and dreams, here are five predictions for what to expect during tomorrow's video presentation.
I'm pretty excited to see what they show. Hopefully they're going to start the year of right.
