    Rumour: Seems a Call of Duty game will be announced at Nintendo Partner Direct

    It'll be interesting I guess to see if this is true and what they give us at this very late stage. Will it be new and exclusive? I highly doubt it. Will it be online? Will it be a cloud version? 🤢

    No mention of the Switch successor ...

    However ...

    On more thing ... Wii U 2



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,814 ✭✭✭Doodah7


    At this stage what is the point of these Directs? The Switch is on its last legs and the only thing people care about is what the specs of the Switch 2 will be and when it will be out.

    Nintendo run the risk of people moving on from their system to Steam/Windows handhelds or PS5/XBox with all of their prevaricating. I know they have their games but Mario Kart, BOTW etc. are years old and anyone who wants them, has them.

    If there is a COD game, I'd expect it to end the show or be one of the last reveals. It wouldn't be hard to beat what has been shown so far. So many ports, remasters, collections of old games. 🥱



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,856 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    I think Switch 2 will use a Wii U feature, the ability to play on TV and gamepad at the same time. I'm sure of it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,856 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    No COD announcement, it's ending with Yakuza Kiwami. That was a bucket full of 💩.

    The Castlevania collection of DS games looked very cool (although you can play them on emulators).

    I also liked the look of Peglin (out today).

    Not much else for me I think…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,225 ✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    Yeah, they could support DS games that way in both handheld and TV modes. And stuff like Wind Waker HD map/controls from Wii U.

    Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 1 has been remade which was the biggest reveal for me and lasted ten seconds!



  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Regional Abroad Moderators Posts: 11,135 Mod ✭✭✭✭Fysh


    I don't see anything that jumps out at me particularly from today's thing, but I'm curious as to what would have made for a "good" Indie/Partner announcement given that we're very near the end of the Switch's lifecycle.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,509 ✭✭✭RedXIV


    I've literally just been looking at starting that!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,418 ✭✭✭griffdaddy


    No one excited about Power Stone? Sunk hours into that on the Dreamcast



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,320 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Power Stone an epic long sought after port by this man child hope it will be worth the wait



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,320 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Suikoden HD finally having a date of March next year leaves me with only Faxanadu on my I want it whete is it list.

    Morsels looks absolutely fantastic. Outside of that it was quite a lot of dross. Good to see Yakuza games coming to Switch - though hopefully they don't overcharge

    From re-looking at the footage of the Trails in the Sky game, and the Japanese Direct had a much longer presentation of the game, I'm convinced that what was shown is from the Switch 2. There is no way that the framerate and graphics could be from the OG Switch.

    Given the vague '2025' release date, they are not telling any lies by saying that it is 'coming to Nintendo Switch'!!!

    About time they revealed more info about the Donkey Kong opening. Was hoping I wouldn’t just miss it when I was in USJ during the summer, but it’s been months now so don’t feel quite as jealous as I would had I missed it by just a few weeks :)

    How many more things can they announce before the Switch 2?

    What's their big Christmas game this year? It's it just the new Mario Party?

    It's almost like they are toying with us at this stage, they know everybody wants the Switch 2 and are getting tired of waiting for it.
