On the other hand Nintendo has handled it's franchises and licenses with care. They only fucked up in the early 90s, and learned their lesson. cdi-zelda, cdi-mario, mario bros movie. Those are the only **** ups. Everything else since then has been good.

Would like to add one more screw-up: when they handed Donkey Kong over to Adam Sandler & co. for that awful movie Pixels. Especially strange since they clearly know quality scripts when they see them, as evidenced by Bowser appearing in Wreck-It Ralph.

Pixels isn't that bad. I've had to watch it repeatedly with nephews. I've seen worse movies.

Yeah you're right, it's just a rather lazy production. Basically all of the funny visual gags are cribbed from that YouTube video from years ago, like how Pong and Tetris slowly tear down buildings. The characters are all pretty annoying too, but you're right, there's thousands of way worse films out there. Like the Entourage movie haha.

Nice! The Mayflash adapter used to work (without analog) and appeared as a Pokkén controller, but this is pretty awesome.

Here are some (final?) rumors from NeoGAF

Quote
-A sequel to a 3DS game is coming to Switch. Remember what was said about new character inclusion for Smash.

-Netflix (but not Hulu) are coming Q1. Announcement will be tied with a Netflix-produced show.

-Themes will arrive with a Dec. 25 update. Free if you own the game or amiibo.

-Metroid Prime 4 will have a subtitle that people know, Q4 at the earliest. First footage in January Direct.

-Little Mac was almost in ARMS. There's a reason he's not.

-A new spinoff is coming exclusively to the eShop using assets from a game already released

Anyone care to make guesses as to what the end product is these rumors are?

Well there were talks for a Zelda show on Netflix years ago.

http://ew.com/article/2015/03/24/nintendo-ceo-iwata-netflix-legend-of-zelda-series/

If they were in early talks back in 2015, then maybe they finally reached a deal?  Especially after how huge Breath of the Wild became, maybe both sides decided this was the perfect time to act.  Netflix gets a series based on a recent popular property and Nintendo gets something to help keep the hype and legs going.

Not saying the rumors true but if it is, my money is on Zelda since it's something we officially know both sides have talked about in the past.

Netflix is trying to invest $8Billy in original content. And there is no fear of Nintendo trying to take all their licensed content and starting their own streaming service. So sounds like a match to me.

I also heard something about the people that did the Castlevania series was interested in doing one for Metriod as well. 2 Nintendo Netflix original's to be announced with the Netflix streaming app Q1 2018!?

That could also tie in with the Metroid rumor as well.

Those hints/rumors were made-up by the topic creator. (He said so in the same topic.) I doubt he wanted to post real rumors on a site he disapproved of so said site could get traffic and the owner of the said site could get ad revenue, so he made them up in his final topic before moving on from GAF.

I'd love them to do update to enable Wii U pro-controller. I might have to get one of those maytag dongles.

Little Mac's arms are too short. That's obvious, you guys.

Pretty sure SMT V was already confirmed.

As a staunch defender of the Wii U Pro Controller (and a huge fan of its 70 hour battery life) I will be taking advantage of this.

What does it mean???

 

Does Chibi Robo need to be sacrificed like the Wicker man in order for the Direct to come to pass?

I LOVE how everyone is getting in on it and all the fans are going nuts. Just a fun feeling. Even other game companies are tweeting burning versions of their characters. r/NintendoSwitch is off the wall.

Well, the Direct was a le-down, but to be fair, Nintendo never even mentioned having one until they released the video.

You drop a Direct Mini without announcing it and you get the Wii U ports, remasters and such out of the way before announcing the good stuff later on. Mario Tennis was just a teaser.

Not really disappointed. I'm pleased with the announcements. I like this stream of ports, as some of them I missed (Tropical Freeze) or never delved deeply into (Hyrule Warriors, hardly played and never bought DLC) so these will be nice additions to the console.


Do we know who is handling the Hyrule Warriors port? I'm hoping that we get a new wave of Fire Emblem DLC with some older characters.
