Nintendo Leakers Already Teasing Upcoming Nintendo Directs

Now that Nintendo has officially confirmed that there is going to be a successor to the Nintendo Switch it should come as no surprise that the leakers are reopening the floodgates to give us all sorts of new details about what they are told about Nintendo's 2024 plans for new content.

Methinks Metroid Prime 4 will get the BOTW treatment, might release on switch 1, but the successor will have an improved or preferred version. With Xenoblade X finally shut down for online portion, I would LOVE to get it on switch finally.

[@thatnintendoshow]

I never played Xenoblade X but hopefully it comes to Switch/Switch 2 so I can give it a chance!

@@thatnintendoshow It was technologically superior to Xeno 2 and 3. Bigger world, better exploration. Make your own character, and the mechs. Open skill trees and weapon loadouts from the start. The dev team from that game were used for BOTW and TOTK. It really is a sin that they didn't carry it over to switch.

@@darkchancellor5030 It's all about the finances. Xenoblade C X only sold a fraction of the copies that 1, 2 and 3 did, and while the open world exploration was cool the gameplay and story of X were generally much more heavily criticised than the other 3 games. X probably isn't considered worth it. Plus I think you might have some rose tinted glasses on if I'm honest, it definitely wasn't as technically advanced as 2 and 3 (both of which launched later using an upgraded version of the same engine on more powerful hardware)- and it definitely had some serious and obvious technical flaws (the fact that cars in the city/other objects had zero collision, the texture quality, the insane pop-in, pretty frequent FPS drops in a lot of areas etc etc).

[@darkchancellor5030]

@@pjs232 That's heavily flawed thinking. It only sold a fraction because compared to the others because it was on Wii U. It was designed as an open world experience more akin to an mmo's world, which is why its quests and story have a disjointed style. It's graphics WERE superior to 2's I haven't played or studied 3 enough to say for certain. What IS certain for 2 alone being the successor being inferior in every way. We went from a proper open world experience to..... gacha and smaller exploration in each zone, while X allowed you to walk freely everywhere you wanted minus any story constraint areas. If 2 and 3 are somehow built better, it is insanely hard to tell. They were built "simpler", to minimize hardware restraints.

@@darkchancellor5030It's true being on the Wii U didn't help it, but even with that factored in it's easily the least popular entry in the series- and that's what matters when considering whether to greenlight a port to Switch or not. The proof is in the pudding, because they DID port Xenoblade 1- so they definitely were looking at bringing older games over, and as must be obvious at this point they passed on X. Like I said, sales aside it's much more heavily criticised for it's gameplay and story than the other three games- the main character is an uninteresting blank slate and aside from the final boss (I won't spoil) the only character that has any real importance to the main plot is Elma (hence why she appeared as the cross over rather than the MC), and her character doesn't even develop over the course of the game- she's the same person she was at the beginning as she will be at the end, no arc at all. And perhaps worse, it also features the two most obnoxious characters in the entire franchise in Lin and Tatsu, and then commits the sin of giving them plenty of screentime. None of the other Xenoblades have such weak characters. Also don't mistake "you personally liked how it looked" in terms of art style/design choices with technologically less advanced- 2 and 3 literally use the same game engine that's been developed further. Xenoblade 3 especially uses much more modern rendering techniques like screen space reflections/temporal upscaling etc etc etc that simply aren't supported by the older version of the engine X uses, it's not really up for debate.

MP4 will be cross gen but I hope they show it on S2 first and it’s one of the launch titles! That game deserves the best treatment on the new system!! I feel it’s going to be a game changer for the series!

[@thatnintendoshow]

I think it being a cross-gen is the safest way for it to launch with the “Best” version being on Switch 2 And yeah I think it’s a guaranteed launch/launch window game for Switch 2

[@SALARIER]

The more we say this....

[@nerdzone]

"Nintendo confirmed nothing Switch 2 related will be on this Direct...but we will see..." No, please! Don't even entertain that thought. If they said nothing will be in the Direct, then nothing will be there. No need to create false hype that will disappoint a lot of people after. There are addicts who cannot help themselves. Don't give their addiction extra fuel.

[@thatnintendoshow]

It’s me.. I’m the addict 😂. No but you’re right. There truly is a chance that Nintendo doesn’t mention the system at all. However, in the past they’re known to say something won’t be there and then something slips through. Even if it isn’t a “confirmed” Switch 2 release it could be something that is either a cross-gen or eventually gets a Switch 2 port.

[@Tazerboy_10]

🤔 - Hmmm...

[@razrv3lc]

Would be cool if Nintendo would make a console that wasn’t trash but I have 0 expectations that it won’t be on par with something that should have come out four years ago.

[@thatnintendoshow]

Look all I need is something with a smooth frame rate. Nintendo does like to sell their systems at a profit which I think is why they undercut the systems performance like that though.
