That Nintendo Direct Was a Banger | Castle Super Beast 275 Clip

[@residentfan1521]

Sylux has actually been getting set up as a major villain for a while now. Aside from Hunters, his ship is seen following Samus’ in the 100% ending of Prime 3 and he’s shown in the secret ending of Federation Force, forcing a Metroid egg to hatch.

[@BlazeMakesGames]

the difference between the Nintendo Direct and the Xbox Showcase was that Nintendo showed off a ton of cool games that they were helping develop and publish, while Xbox feels like a rich kid who just bought someone else's rare card collection and then tries to show it off like they put any actual effort into getting those cards.

[@jupiterofthemonkeyii5569]

But Kaiba is still cooler than Yugi so ...

[@SliderGamer55]

The difference is that those Nintendo games will be profitable, unlike the Xbox Game Pass sacrifices, half of which no one will remember 8 minutes after seeing it.

[@diegomedina9637]

Let's be real... Only like 2 of those games will be out and one of them will be crapped out until the end of time and the other one that's actually really good will be buried on the hate of the other game.

[@IndoorSitup]

I'm pretty sure you'd be cheering Nintendo on if they did the same thing.

[@diegomedina9637]

@@SliderGamer55 So... HiFi Rush? People were going nuts over the game mostly because 1 it shadow dropped and 2 because they close down the studio. That's literally a worse destiny than a game being outright bad, at least we can laugh at a bad game because people cared enough about it to crap about it.

[@Noxshade]

Dedicating a solid ten seconds of the Prime 4 trailer to just scanning a Space Pirate who's bleeding out tells me that they know what they are doing.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

I think what sold me on that pacing was that airborne ship explosion. A crappy Call of Duty trailer would've slowly panned up to the sky, but it was like this trailer played Samus entirely in character. Her head SNAPPED right to that scene, and then she just moved on. She silently studies her scans. She sees a lock on point on a wall, she doesn't even need to lock to blow it wide open for her Morph Ball to fit in and she just cruises along not even giving a fuck about the carnage going on below her. While said scene is basically Pirates breach charging a door LIKE it's a generic CoD scene, but Samus is just observing and rolling by unseen until she drops down and decimates them. What a setpiece trailer, that intro area is going to be great.

[@AndrewLawton16]

I can't believe we're getting a new Mario and Luigi game and it looks PHENOMENAL and it's like the fifth most hype game announced.

[@theotherjared9824]

Nintendo directs have mastered pacing. They know exactly how much screentime a game should have, what gets a summary by the narrator, what gets a dedicated trailer, what should start and end the show, when the host should appear and what they should say. No one else has really learned that formula, and the show suffer because of it.

[@__________8997]

Big true true. If only they treated their Mario sports titles with such care as those have all been underwhelming compared to prior GameCube and Wii entries.

[@invaderpez12]

I was watching an old nintendo showcase and man its so strange how the pacing is so different. So much more focus on the games now.

[@Kango234]

I've been saying that about these gaming shows for years. I never go into a show expecting Kingdom Hearts 5 or a new F-Zero. I just want 3-4 announcements for cool games I might like. The problem is that Geoff has spent years making people think it's normal to have a 4 hour show with tons of CGI trailers for new IP, 10 minute interviews with some guy about a game that will never come out, unfunny skits and of course clueless celebrities talking about how they played Mario 30 years ago. This direct is proof of that, there was nothing really mind blowing when you really look at it, but it had enough new announcements and some niche things to make everyone happy.

[@mikaelamonsterland]

MVC collection was mind blowing if you knew anything about the history of those games or how painfully bad mvci was, a mainline Zelda game where you play as Zelda and she has completely new gameplay they've never done before was also kinda mind blowing, mario and Luigi was a dead series and the studio that made those games had been shut down, Metroid prime 4 all of us had given up on bc it's been 7 years since they announced it

Leading with a new Mario & Luigi when almost everyone thought that the series died with the collapse of AlphaDream half a decade ago is insane to me, and that was only one of the crazy things that were shown off.

I don’t even play Ace Attorney and even I popped off with the reveal of the Investigations Collection with an official English localization of Investigations 2.

I think most of us went into the final switch direct with the mindset of them really only having maybe 1 juicy end of life cycle game to keep people interested as they work on the Switch 2 ultra deluxe neo new 3rd strike ultra with caramel sauce. So when it was one of the most well rounded directs theyve ever done it felt even better. There's alot to criticize nintendo for but they definitely learned how the Wii U droughts hurt them.

[@Vanity0666]

The Switch 2 is on same architecture as the Switch, it's just pushing quite a bit more power. They are both on Tegra, the switch 2 is running the Tegra 239 SOC This means that there won't be a drought, all of your old library should remain completely playable and intact on the new system.

[@AndrewLawton16]

I get what you're saying Woolie, but to me, the entire aesthetic and art direction was designed specifically for Echoes of Wisdom. Seeing Echoes makes me think that Link's Awakening was basically a tech demo for the engine and art style. We'll remake a not very complicated GB Zelda and see what people say. People like it? People like the art style? Full send on Zelda

With people expecting more from the Switch Successor and figuring that the Switch was on it's way out and should keep our expectations low, Nintendo casually reminded everyone why the Switch is a success and will continue to be so for a couple more years. They are a gaming company, first and foremost.

[@poseidonson13]

Biggest boon to Nintendo Directs compared to the other shows is that they're SHORT. The whole thing was like 40 minutes, had a high frequency of announcements, trailers, gameplay footage etc. Maybe a few minutes of a producer talking to the camera about a particular title.

One of my favorite bits about there being an official translation for Investigations 2 is that all of the people who already played it with the fan translation and love it have to learn everyone's new localized names because the fan translation made their own.

The way Woolie talks about Apollo Justice, especially when Pat starts describing the game... Has he actually played the game, or is he just going "New protag! Next Generation! Time Moving forwards! That's my Jam! So it's gotta be good, right?" from a distance?

[@alexandernelson3703]

I'm suspecting it's the latter. Because if he had played the games he'd be aware that Apollo didn't just go away after 4. Much like DMC, latter games in AA had you switching between old protagonist, new protagonist, and NEW New protagonist (Athena Cykes). He may not have succeeded Phoenix as the poster boy of the franchise but 5 and ESPECIALLY 6 gives Apollo some really good stuff, arguably better than what he got in his debut game.

[@Kango234]

Yeah this is why people have a hard time listening to Woolie or saying he is just as crazy as Pat.

[@BloodRedFox2008]

Nintendo's overseeing the process so I doubt they will unless some really unexpected issue gets discovered on launch day. There is some concern over some graphical effects appearing to be absent from the debut trailer, but it is a work in progress so it'll likely be fixed by launch. Like people forget porting and remastering isn't as simple as "drop the old code in a new dev kit and bam it's instantly ready," there are situations where some effects were so hard coded to the original hardware that new code needs to be written to get them working on new hardware. Even emulation isn't immune, Ocarina of Time was weirdly missing post processing effects like fog when it came out on Switch, but they later patched it, and Perfect Dark on Switch is now dealing with similar odd issues with post processing (lens flares shine through solid objects and particle effects now cause frame dips that weren't present on N64; this basically tells me post processing and lighting in general seem to be the biggest hurdles when it comes to porting or remastering an old game).

People hyping this up as some kind of 'magnum opus' are dooming it to critical failure, and Cherry allowing all of their good will to melt away in a community they actively ignore is a terrible decision, whether they're doing it out of malice or indifference. Assuming they haven't abandoned the project, which at this point is a massive assumption, they need somebody to step in and make something happen.

[@Brandonious15987]

​@SonicBoyster I think people are way to invested in Silk Song and should just do something else. Even with an update you would still need to wait the same amount of time for the game to come out.

[@gwotkid]

@@SonicBoyster you mean the hornet campaign stretch goal from the original kickstarter like a decade ago? Given the massive difference in scope from what was initially promised, I really don't count that as the same whatsoever. You're overflowing with spite over something that's not yours, and while I agree they've completely fucked up communication, this is clearly being made as a piece of art over just a toy for us to buy and play with. Also is literally their magnum opus by direct definition, they've only made one game as a studio before and it's hollow knight, this is their continuation of their one and only project, finally with the resources to achieve their vision for the setting and experience.

Nintendo is cooking right now

Not beating the "angry gamer" accusations when they rage on about an indie dev team taking their time with a game theyre making

[@ALloydRH]

As a Xenoblade fan, I am super okay with X never being acknowledged ever again.

[@Vanity0666]

I don't think the switch is capable of handling a game with the scope of Xenoblade Chronicles X. Zelda TOTK is one of the few games that gets actually close and even then they take a ton of rendering shortcuts to keep it running at a "playable" framerate

[@lylatfox4]

What

[@axis1247]

...You do know XB2 and 3 are on the switch right? X isnt bigger than either of those 2

[@byronlyons3548]

No, the Switch can very much easily handle Xenoblade X. There's one thing you guys forget, is that there's little to no collision with a lot of things, such as the monsters and enemies in the game. It's basically just smoke and mirrors, unlike BotW and TotK where you actually can interact with everything with the physics, and it all having collision.

I too think it would be cool if Zelda goot an actual game instead of a prototype. "Hey, we have an idea of how a Zelda would play if she was the main character." "We'll announce it tomorrow."

[@rotciv557]

I really don't understand Team Cherry. They could have dropped Silksong this year or last year, make A METRIC FUCKTON of money because the Switch and PC are at the highest player amount that they have ever been (to a ridiculous degree) AND the other consoles exist too, erase all the things holding them down like all of the donations goals they promised people (dicks out to that guy who payed, like, 15k in donations?) and then they could have taken that mountain of money and freedom from their debts and then have buckled down and have had ALL THE TIME AND RESOURCES IN THE WORLD to make whatever perfected Hollow Knight game they seem so deadset on creating. Make no promises (hell, just say you'll MAYBE take less than 20 years to make it) and just fuck off to your studio to make it in peace with no one out there having any right to make demands of you to hurry the fuck up or whatever. Instead they take over a decade, almost? And say...literally nothing about anything to the people waiting for it? Hollow Knight fans have been abandoned by the devs lol, reminds me of TF2.

I feel like I was the only person let down by the Metroid trailer. Everything in it was super standard. No new weapons, gadgets, or abilities. It also said "we hope it will be out in 2025" which really seemed unconfidant.

[@axis1247]

I have the exact opposite opinion games need to stop spoiling all the new shit in sequels within the trailers. Movie have the same issue where they basically drop the entire plot on you in the trailers.

[@marcellosilva9286]

My biggest complaint is that we're still using lock-on combat in 2024, I think people get first-person games on controllers now, but other than that, it looks fantastic and has the potential to become the best Prime game.

[@unintelgen2510]

16:35 look, I get Woolie and Pat are a couple of Olds, but jesus christ that's a dumb comment for several reasons. Chiefly, 1. If you're remembering the motion bits from Prime 3 that wasn't gyro; the wii remote didn't have gyro in 2008. Even if they were to do stuff like that again w/ joycons I doubt it'd be as invasive. The aiming was handled by IR, which isn't really used anymore. Gyro has supplanted it and it's great for actually fucking aiming and most games nowadays have an at least somewhat decent implementation. It's a solved problem (Though the ones that suck *really* fucking suck, like RE8 on PS5. *Still* better than analog) 2. If you're talking about actually aiming with gyro being bad legitimately fuck you. The Prime 4 footage was absolutely anemic part due to its bland archaic aiming. Like I have faith that Retro will have nice aiming options, but since we can actually aim in 2024 I would hope they don't overrely on the lock on for gunplay. Obviously Prime isn't overly reliant on its combat, but uh, you know, it would be better regardless. Wouldn't have to sacrifice nearly half your inputs to look around and junk. I had about the same thought before I came across it, but Hideki Kamiya's tweet about Prime 4 is spot on. It was an utterly bland teaser that could be summed up as "we managed to make a 2002 game again", which to me IS impressive mind you. Control wise it looked like it literally stepped off from the gamecube's minidisc, rigged aiming and lock on strafing included. Obviously a teaser is just a teaser but they really failed to communicate what Beyond does that Prime 1 doesn't. I'm sure it's going to knock literally everyone's socks off I trust Retro, but that trailer was like a gnawed bone, bereft of meat and sustenance

That's just Japanese law enforcement. It's literally a law there that you can't modify and sell existing products commercially. Dudes get arrested and jailed for selling modded PS3s over there.

[@byronlyons3548]

Like the other person said, it was mostly the law enforcement, not Nintendo or the Pokemon Company. Also other companies have done much worser than these guys. Or do I need to remind of you of when before Blizzard got bought out by Microsoft near the start of this decade? Like jeez dude, throw a fit over something that actually matters. Like at the very least, Nintendo hasn't been throwing out their employees in droves, and leaving hundreds without a job. I'd rather them treat the fans like crap than their own studio and dev teams. (And no, contract workers are not employees, there's a big difference there.)

@@byronlyons3548... do you people just feel okay giving money to blizzard too? lmao, shocked at how defensive yall get when someone asks questions abt consumer habits

[@byronlyons3548]

@@shikileaks Are you brain damaged? The answer is obviously no. Nintendo on the other hand, yes, because they aren't Blizzard. Fans aren't beholden to everything, just because they feel entitled to it. So people like you have got to learn to get over yourselves, and grow up. Just because they take down a few rom sites or fan projects (which is rarely btw), that ultimately has a sketchy thing or two behind the scenes. Yes, there's a reason Nintendo does some of these things, besides of being petty. If it was just because of pettiness, they would have taken down everything by this point. Never think about those things, do you?
