Nintendo Direct June 2024 Predictions - Kinda Funny Gamescast

[@matthewurso6840]

Shoutout to Andy wearing a killer Rush shirt

[@aimless_aimer7936]

i prefer reviver rush but thats just me 💅

[@sarim.97]

Fun energy to this one, Andy always has the right jokes to break Bless and Tim. Case in point, 34:18 is a Renaissance painting 😂

[@maddoggnick96]

This is KFG Vol. 3, Episode 34 (Episode 518 overall)

[@filbert910]

6:40 not at all. How is this even a question. They’ve said no mention for a specific reason. They don’t want people to hype themselves up.

[@pandabearangry]

I think we get a small update about pokemon with an announcement of a Pokemon direct later in the summer

[@OutHereOnThePerimeter]

They pretty much announced the Switch 2 in a tweet by Furakawa to begin with, so it’s not the first mention via Twitter!

[@RancidKill64]

Tim forgot that other M is the sunshine of Metroid

[@MattEffectGames]

I can only imagine living underneath Andy and waking up at 2 in the morning while he rattles off like 5 impressions of Michael Caine and Ben Starr 🤣

[@joshuatealeaves]

Andy announcing that he’s Michael Caine while impersonating him always kills me 🤣

[@Mr_Paw_revised]

1:15 I’m wondering, how in this story, we got from Sonic 2 (released in 1992) and Sega Game Gear (US release 1991) to Dreamcast demo kiosk (probably 1999). There is a whole generation of consoles on the way and multiple titles, that evolved video games.

[@CompleteProducer84]

My two most anticipated games for the last 5-7 years happen to be the two which have famously evaded every single reveal in that time period. It’s pretty grim as a Metroid Prime and Hollow Knight fan 😢

[@Paulo-1999]

The next 3D Mario will top all previous 3D Mario. I think it will have a bigger scale in terms of narrative. Not just DK, other characters will have a bigger role in the game.

[@TyranBatten]

The answer to why not Galaxy 2 is that the Yoshi gameplay requires precision pointer controls. Something that couldn’t be solved in a quick port, requires more dev time to make it work

[@AREAlhero]

Absolutely incorrect. Yoshi pointer doesn't require anything more precise than the Pull Stars and those were already accounted for. There are more Pull Stars in SMG1 than any amount of Yoshi flower things in SMG2. The reality is 3D All-Stars likely existed to do something with a surplus of the smallest GB capacity Switch game cards and SMG2 is the most derivative game of any of the ones considered for the collection, they opted to drop it rather than use the next higher capacity cards.

[@TyranBatten]

@@AREAlhero Have you seen the yoshi section in grandmaster galaxy? Its not slow at all

[@AREAlhero]

@@TyranBatten You mean the freest section of Grandmaster? It's quite slow and you can take it rather slowly. And mind you, 99.9% of the game is NOT Grandmaster Galaxy. That isn't a valid defense. I have booted up the games now to verify (on both Wii U's Wii emulation of the games and my original Wii), Pull Stars and Yoshi flowers have the same exact dead zone, and identical frame data.

[@TyranBatten]

@@AREAlhero you’re not thinking about the problem correctly. Nothing to do with frame data. Think about the functionality of Yoshi a little more. Yoshi requires you to move with the stick, use the jump button, and to point with the remote and press another button. You alternate between these different actions frequently. In Mario Galaxy 1, when you get to pull stars what to do you have to do? Nothing except point and click. You don’t really need to think about moving and jumping during those sections. Now think about what you would do when you’re in handheld mode with Yoshi and you need to tap the screen with your right hand to touch a flower, or eat an enemy? You have to take your hand away from the buttons to do so, removing your ability to jump at the same time. It’s a clunkier setup than the first game. Playing Galaxy 1 in handheld mode was already not great, playing Yoshi in handheld mode would be even worse. Nintendo doesn’t want you to play a game (for the most part) in a suboptimal way. They want it to work. I don’t think this is the only reason they haven’t released Galaxy 2 btw. It’s just one reason that makes it is more complicated than people give it credit for.

[@TyranBatten]

@@AREAlhero and by the way, it’s the first section in grandmaster galaxy I’m talking about with Yoshi just to clarify. The part with tons of those flowers and you’re avoiding the helicopter bug enemies.

[@JustJuan731]

You say that it doesn’t make sense to shadowdrop both MP2 + MP3 remastered to hype up MP4 if it comes out this fall, but that’s exactly what Pikman did last year!

[@74Vidgamer]

Totally taking peak out of context, Midoei meant it as she just enjoys them, she clarified that multiple times she knows nothing about the Direct.

[@KingToast24]

Respect to Blessing wearing a Hunter X Hunter shirt

[@jackomon1129]

I will say that when it comes to these fanon wikis, I do think they need to be classified as which ones are fanon wikis and which one are canon wikis, as I do believe there are those that can create fan content and make pages for it, but both Google & Fandom (owner of Wikia) don't seem to care about that at all. I think it is unfair to call a Cease & Desist as they are ideas created by fans of a franchise after all, its like asking Nintendo to Cease & Desist actual fangames, which can also have their own fanon wikis too.

[@ParadoxalDream]

45:52 Metroid Prime Remastered launched at $40...

[@jibbsthesquib]

Just wanted to say Blessing looks jacked in that shirt, and you guys rule.

[@whoarewe3557]

I was late to the game being born in 94 and all, but I will say my first console was passed down from my uncle and it was a super Nintendo, I want to say before kindergarten my parents got me a PlayStation for Christmas and that’s where my journey started. Mario games, legend of Zelda, and for PlayStation Frogger, crash, bandicoot, and Final Fantasy 7 is what started me off.

[@Paulo-1999]

Tim is correct about A Link To The Past. I'm waiting for a ALTTP remake with the Link's Awakening style since that game was released. But I agree Nintendo should save it to Switch 2!

[@ThomasCuerden]

I also want Pokémon on NSO, but I won't get my hopes up.

[@professorplaysgames]

“There’s nothing I want more than a new Star Fox; there’s nothing I want less than Star Fox Zero on Switch.” Preach, Tim! SFZ is the only Nintendo game I ever traded in.

[@Anarchyontheweb]

when did blessing get swoll?

[@bouchonaise124135]

i was actually pretty stoked for an inside out 2 pixar in review. honestly i saw this weekend and was fucking blown away. it's DAMN good

[@DanClancyPatterson98]

Andy with the Rush! I want to talk to Andy about Rush one day. It’s on my bucket list for sure!

[@rudelechture740]

Blessing making the "Kill Luigi or Link" scenario is insane. Luigi is 6 feet under in a heart beat. xD

[@dompne33]

Expecting Fire Emblem and Mario Party. Hoping for Star Fox and Metroid!

[@MaxMarriner]

1:03:59 The funniest thing Andy’s ever said

[@garywhite4411]

Yes! Always want a full blown episode on Nintendo 😊

[@lightspeedbear]

"Switch 2 presentation this year" Barrett? Wow that's a bold prediction.

[@Duderf-go4nq]

Till my death I will always hope for a Chrono trigger sequel and an eternal darkness remake/sequel !

[@Dewbah22]

Banjo 1 and 2 remastered also coming to Xbox and PC

[@FunkyTrigger]

They are already on Xbox…

[@jbh3074]

Always gonna be pulling for Donkey Kong i'll go ballistic. Honestly though as long as we don't have RPG/farm direct 2 i'm cool.

[@Bobo_Tapia]

Golden Sun remake or reboot PLEASE.

[@Paulo-1999]

They mention Switch 2 slightly if they mention Metriod Prime 4, since that game will probably be on Switch and Switch 2, like BOTW was on WiiU and Switch.

[@realrobrose]

Definitely gotta make a "FOR THE SICKOS" shirt before someone else does. I can already see like the Taco Bell ads saying their newest crazy burrito is"#FTS"

[@SageShini]

Too late lol There's already a For the Sickos shirt from AEW.

[@madrocts]

Yeah you're like 2 days late

[@realrobrose]

It's starting

[@ParadoxalDream]

39:20 lol wut??! I mean the movie is doing fine at the box office, but "insanely successful" it is certainly not. It is not even on pace to pass the previous movie in the franchise at the global box office. Love the Rush shirt though :)

I think they are saving Metroid Prime 4 for the Switch 2 release.

[@Paulo-1999]

I think it makes more sense if MP 4 is like BOTW. So MP 4 will be on Switch and Switch 2. The backlash of not having MP 4 on Switch would be huge. The game was promissed to be on Switch many years ago.

[@DeeboFromHI]

Mario Wrestling would be hype as hell

[@pdxvman3236]

This is obviously for anyone to answer cause I feel like I see so many people say this not just KF, but 7am West Coast is 11pm Japan time. So why do people say these are Japan focused directs? I feel weirdly enough Nintendo just caters to east coast since they get normal morning times.

[@n1milkshake]

tim gettys you're a madman I'm in

[@MULTIPLANGOD]

Dragon quest and a mention of 12 and any new Zelda I’ll be sey

[@LowSkillPlays]

Also there are plenty of good games on Sega. Rocket Knight Adventures was a really fun action platformer and Vectorman was pretty good too.

[@Red49er85]

lefties everywhere been dreaming of kid icarus uprising port since before the switch existed 😂

[@HoBoMi1kMaN]

Ports, ports and more ports babyyyyy 😢

[@mattsanders2207]

Nice Rush shirt Andy.

[@CheckmateStallioN]

DKC Return remaster should be a bare minimum. I hope they dont announce a 3D DK game yet as it will be held back by the current switch. Save that when they announce the Super Switch

[@KamixSam]

If they announce fire emblem tomorrow that would be dope!

[@tiramisumochi4787]

Yes!!!! Zelda ports!!! Never thought we’d see the day lol

[@LowSkillPlays]

Game Gear was ahead of its time.

[@eastbluedrew1664]

Oh god Dreamcast days my first system was a sega i wish they kept going

[@JakeWhyman]

It's Earthbound's 30th anniversary this year Just sayin'...

[@joedigregorio2278]

I’m more excited for the next 2d Metroid from mercury steam honestly.

[@rccharger21]

I can’t let myself get hurt again so I’m not expecting Wind Waker/Twilight Princess at all.

[@markaustin5727]

Brother… I’ve got a Metroid Prime 4 preorder. You merely adopted pain. I was born in it… Molded by it.

[@OtakuUnderground92]

I don’t get why people want this? Didn’t they already port those to the Wii U?

[@OtakuUnderground92]

@ytm23akI mean emulators exists 🤷‍♂️

[@OtakuUnderground92]

Astral Chain is garbage from what I’ve played. Feel like I got duped and wish I could get my money back. Poor man’s Scarlet Nexus 😂

[@Glenn_Norris]

Not watched this all yet but I predict we get a Horizon Lego Adventures release date

[@greenmesjasz]

Andy talk to Tamoor about yt channel Retro game corp and console called Odin 2, you'll get your astrale chain with proper frames

[@Mmachine88]

I'm not expecting tooo much craziness with this direct, it's funny because i'm where Bless was with the xbox show, I'm like 5 or 6 with hype level, but then again I'm kinda like 50/50 with Nintendo games. Plenty I'm into , but also plenty I'm just straight up not interested at all lol.

[@lesliealvarado3257]

Astral Chain 2 baby!!!!!!

[@MultiplexityGaming]

it sucks that the Switch successor wont be talked about since its basically what everyone is anticipating at this point. The Switch is pretty much on its way out. But Nintendo always does its own thing so this is par for the course. Hopefully we get something before the end of the year.

[@OtakuUnderground92]

Zelda Oracle of Seasons remake or don’t do one at all.

[@CalebJenei]

NINTENDOOOOO!!!!! BRING BAYONETTA 2 TO PC AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!!!

[@michaelpduggan]

I think with the new volume of gamescasts and more predictions episodes, I think they need to be more strict about structure. A lot of these start out really freeform where people throw out things and have a conversation about it, and then Tim will go through his list of specifics and have very duplicative conversations. This was almost 90 minutes and probably could have been like 45. I like the meandering conversations on some shows, but when you’re putting out a show every day and trying to keep people invested through all of these showcases, sometimes less is more

[@sebastianguerrero6617]

No we aren't getting any fire emblem games this year, engage came out last year and intelligent and just released the ttyd remake, it wouldn't make sense for Nintendo to release it this year or announce it tomorrow It makes a lot more sense for Nintendo to released the remake of fe4 as a cross gen release on both systems. that way they can avoid the poor sales like the last remake and have a FE game for the launch year of the new console, it makes some much more sense than seeing it tomorrow and coming this year

[@Duderf-go4nq]

Am I crazy for wanting a codename steam remake? I think that game game has a lot of Potential

[@ajhoenings6203]

Wait what are the Nintendo 4 horsemen :)

[@RSiKyie]

I’m surprised how optimistic Bless and Tim are about Silksong showing up here. I would LOVE to see it, but this was the least likely place for it to be

[@CheckmateStallioN]

GenesIS what SNES'nt

[@henrysmith5343]

Mario Sunshine is great.

[@99Ruken]

My prediction one more thing xenoblade chronicles x for the switch then tune in to this date where the switch 2 be shown with mw2, mw3 and black ops 6 on it

[@jamiedeering3400]

They've already said Switch 2 won't be mentioned at all, watch the gamexplain video about it that was uploaded earlier today.

[@realrobrose]

They've also twisted truths many times where you go back and realize "there's no rule that said a dog can't play basketball"

[@erichillii713]

Hollow knight would not be bigger then kart or donkey kong.

[@Icepick614]

51:08 They did put a Zelda game and a 3D Mario game out on the same day when the switch launched. Never say never

[@AndrewB2189]

They did not

[@realrobrose]

If you mean Odyssey and Botw, l forget which one but one of them came out like 6 months later.

[@bennygbanger]

no they didn’t 😂

[@Dhaffey90]

Sega does what Nintendont !!

[@OtakuUnderground92]

I don’t get the hate for Sunshine, a unique Mario game and love for the trashy ones like Odyssey and 64. Smh That game was more unique than both of them. Same thing with Galaxy, but aren’t held up on a pedestal like those are.

[@OtakuUnderground92]

Xbox didn’t reliever hopefully Nintendo will show something to make me dust off my dang Switch

[@Heimersleep]

I’m probably just a hater, but not gonna lie, I always feel deflated when I see a gamescast relating to a Nintendo direct lol. Not on the team; it’s just that Nintendo directs are always mind numbingly boring for me

[@OtakuUnderground92]

Same. And yet I keep hoping they’ll remember they have other IPs outside the usual and make new EXCITING things.

[@jonahabenhaim1223]

Why are they boring to you? Is it because they Overhyped? Ongoing Leaks? Maybe you just haven’t found any video Games that appeal to you. Which I mean, I don’t blame you. But I think It’s Always fun to come in with Low Expectations in my opinion. It’s kinda weird though.. Since I find Most Of Xbox’s Showcase to be Boring since most of those Games that are announced all feel and look the Same.. too many Realistic games that feel souless.

[@Heimersleep]

@@jonahabenhaim1223 likely overhyped. I can’t put my finger on it, but I can explain the feeling I get. It’s the feeling you get when a showcase announces yet another port/remaster of GTA V. Like really? We still care about this? We probably get more information on yet another insignificant add on for a 10 year old MarioKart game (which is still close to, if not at full price like it was all those years ago) They rely heavily on the same IPs and this kind of goes into my feeling of Nintendo as a whole which is do the bear minimum, overcharge and take advantage/capitalise on a lot of casual consumers who don’t know any better (a lot of families that just buy something with the Nintendo label). The cycle continues….no new hardware, shitty and expensive online, not allowing access to old titles, rarely offering discounts on their exclusives (even years after release), consistently releasing games that can’t even run a stable 30 fps in 2024….etc. So yeah, maybe I just hate Nintendo hahaha! (That being said, I do still enjoy some of their games, but I rarely actually give Nintendo my business)

[@Heimersleep]

@@jonahabenhaim1223 sorry, and just to add something egregious. Look at the price for Final Fantasy X on the switch store and compare to the PSN store. That’s criminal lol

[@IBODEGAI]

Dread was not an amazing game. It was a good game. I enjoyed it a lot because it tickled the nostalgia pickle. They couldn’t done more with it. A solid 7.

[@OtakuUnderground92]

Still can’t believe they charged $60 for and the fanbase let them get away with it.

[@AREAlhero]

Nah, Dread was great. It provided a novel Metroidvania design with the best boss fights a Metroid/Metroidvania game has ever had. It's at least an 8 or 9 out of 10 on all objective measures
