The development team of Project Octopath Traveler for Nintendo Switch showcases the changes made to the game thanks to the users' feedback.
"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.
You pretty much proved his point by resorting to naming a game developed by Square Enix.
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 way they show off the core Pokemon title until after the Let's Go! Titles have released.
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...
“but seriously how many of these damn games do we need?“
Since 1999 until now (20 years) there had only been 5 Smash games. You are acting like this game release yearly or something.
“Also, the fact they didnt show anything from the Pokemon game”
Except that they did show a new Pokemon game. Unless you meant to say the core Pokemon game.
“Which makes me wish they never showed that banner for mp4 if a year later they were going to leave us hanging.”
Other company had shown games years before it is release but I had never seen that bother you.
No where did i say 5 games is a lot, what i am saying is in 20 years the ip has not changed much. Its way past due for a reboot.
Yes, you know what i meant was the CORE Pokemon.
Except, 99% of the time a dev shows off a game we at the very least get a cgi trailer or a glimpse of what the game might be...
If they were just going to show us a mp4 banner a year prior, many metroid fans at the very least expected nintendo to talk about it... And nothing. Shit, at the very least they could have talked about bayo 3... And nintendo fans rebuttal is going to be "they saved those games for treehouse or tgs" and id say... I hope youre right
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.
Legitimately did not know Watchdogs had been released on Wii U until you brought it up. Something about that concept feels wrong, somehow.
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.
That sounds like a reasonable prediction. I hope metroid is slated for this year too, and that its really good, since Nintendo aren't developing it themselves. Maybe the surprise is eternal darkness 2?
Nice to see they're taking all the feedback into account. I honestly don't remember all the feedback I gave, but I'm surprised to see they included a switch for the visual filter. I love it, but it still looks nice without it.
I played the demo wayyyyyy after *hearing all of the hype, and it still impressed me. It’s great to see this progress.
Everybody has encouraging comments here and they all have multiple disagrees??? There’s a hater lurking about. I hope the game is slated for this year. I played the demo and liked it so much I stopped playing. Didn’t want to ruin anything for myself.
Shadow of Collasus, Project Octopath Traveler, Kirby, God of War and Mario Tennis. And that is for the first five months. Well POT will probably be later, but what a great start to the year!
