Not a big or especially shocking prediction, but I’m hoping We get confirmation of Switch ports for Pyre and Pixeljunk Shooter

We’ve gone longer, seeing even less, from Metroid Prime 4.

Im not exactly concerned that Nintendo is trying to quietly erase a sequel to one of its biggest hits of the last decade, and I’m also not expecting it to be just Yet More BotW
 

Phantoon

I cuss you bad
Is it any different from the original Breath of the Wild?
Gameplay was shown at the Game Awards in 2014


And I'm pretty certain there was a later trailer for the first of its two delays though I can't find it. So yeah, it's noticeably different.

And we know they restarted development from scratch so it's not a normal indicator of Nintendo's process.

I don't think I agree that BotW 2 will not exist in a recognizable form but it's been too long for it to be a quick sequel.

Eh, I think the idea that it was going to be a quick sequel was already questionable. It was announced more than two years after BotW's release.

Ah. Yeah, a little different. Though, once again, 2020 itself was noticeably different.

If the Switch Pro isn't announced, we'll hear "rumors" for the rest of eternity that it will be announced "tomorrow."

If the Switch Pro is announced, then the entire edifice of rumor-mongering clickbaity YouTubers will collapse in an instant, freeing us of their psychic tyrrany.

The choice is clear, Nintendo.

Just give me a Switch that can output 4K docked. Switch Pro? Meh. Switch HD Dock? Yes. Do it.

Trek to Yomi seems like it might be difficult to play with its chosen aesthetic, so I'm interested to see how it shakes out.

Inscryption was a highlight for me, The Hex ended up going in an interesting direction, and based on what we see in the trailer it seems like maybe there's more to this than "a deck-based game with horror elements" (not that that doesn't sound like an absolute bop in and of itself)

There were a couple of cute moments in the Wholesome Games Direct, but it seems like most of what caught my eye had already been announced a long time ago - KeyWe (It Takes Two, except as Kiwi Postal Workers), Toodee and Topdee (puzzle game where you shift between a side scrolling and top down views). I'm also cautiously interested in Lake, but since it was in the Wholesome Games category, this small town in the Pacific Northwest probably doesn't have spooky skeletons in the closet.

Tomorrow's a big day right? Xbox and Square Enix are doing their presentations. Monday's lineup looks pretty dire though yikes. I guess Capcom has a showcase, but other than that....

So far, the trailer that has me the most interested is The Gecko Gods, which appeared in the Wholesome Games stream:


I also noticed that Paralives, which I've been following for quite some time now, made an appearance.
 

Sprite

(He/Him/His)

Sure, why not?

I love that the new character looks like the OC of someone taking the game a little too seriously.
 

Alixsar

Devolver's thing was today. They referenced goddamn Absolutely Rose Street.

Also announced some cool looking stuff. Phantom Abyss is the first person Indiana Jones-'em-up I didn't know I wanted.

And because I'm part of the problem, yeah, I ordered Demon Throttle.

Trek to Yomi is a 2.5D thing looking for the Kurosawa style. Could be cool.

Trek to Yomi is also the name of the documentary about playing grapplers in fighting games.

This joke will be understood by, at best, like 2 people
 
Big gamepass news.
Starfield obv. But Yakuza Like A Dragon added today, and Eiyuden Chronicles (2 now?) Will come out on pass day 1

I'm interested in Mass Effect Guardians of the Galaxy, and am interested in the FF1-6 emasters, assuming literally anything was shown or they were confirmed for a platform with buttons
 
Guardians by deus ex team, could be dece.
The origins game... But they sure said chaos a lot

I don't know if I wanted to fight Garland in a crew shirt..
