Not too bad. Saving the big guns for E3 I think.

Fez is out today, and there is an indie sale starting later today too.
Olli Olli world and Oxenfree II out later this year.

super_furry · 14-04-2021 05:26PM

Fez and Oxenfree II will do for me.

pixelburp · 14-04-2021 05:31PM

For the irredeemably lazy, can someone share a breakdown of all that was announced?

Mr E · 14-04-2021 05:58PM

Copied from NLife:

Road 96, a procedural narrative game, is coming to Nintendo Switch
Aerial_Knight's Never Yield will drop on Nintendo Switch 19th May
Last Stop and Hindsight will be hopping onto Nintendo Switch later this year
OlliOlli World grinds onto Nintendo Switch this Winter
The Longing is coming to Nintendo Switch later today
There is No Game Wrong Dimension launches on Switch later today
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge cowabungas onto Nintendo Switch later this year
CrisTales is coming to Nintendo Switch July 2021
GetSuFuMaDen lands on Switch 2022
Aztech Forgotten Gods smashes its way onto Switch Autumn 2021
Skul: The Hero Slayer finds it was onto Nintendo Switch Summer 2021
Fez is coming to Nintendo Switch! TODAY!
Oxenfree II: Lost Signals is coming to Switch in 2021!

There was a sizzle reel near the end with a bunch of other games. I don't have a list of those.

CastorTroy · 14-04-2021 06:18PM

Aztech looked cool. And Turtles of course, although I hope they change the HUD as those energy bars and all looked bad.

Is Aerial Knight someone we're meant to know? Game is of no interest anyway.

And no idea what The Longing is meant to be. 400 days in real time and mundane tasks to do, very slowly by the look of it.

Labyrinth City reminded me of puzzle books I got as a child. Turns out it's based on similar books.

Sizzle reel games, since just have the video here now:
art of rally - this summer
KeyWe - August
Labyrinth City: Pierre the Maze Detective - Spring
Weaving tides - May
House of the Dead Remake - later this year
Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights - June 21
Beasts of Maravilla Island - June
Fez - today

RobbingBandit · 14-04-2021 06:23PM

Cris Tales looks epic hope its a good modest price when it's out

Very pleased a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game is in the works too

Looks like I'm putting on the good clothes, because I'm going shopping!

RobbingBandit · 14-04-2021 07:57PM

I have a €25 card to buy SaGa Frontier on Friday but Fez has me intrigued

pixelburp · 14-04-2021 08:13PM

Road 96 looks really interesting, but I wonder how interactive those various set pieces (like the chase during a robbery) are in reality. Plus Hades has kinda set the bar for randomised, narrative focused gameplay really high so we'll see.

CiDeRmAn · 14-04-2021 08:35PM

I bought Fez and The Hike, the former I have on other formats but I can't resist it again, the latter because of the Firewatch vibe, one of my favourite games on any system

Fysh · 15-04-2021 10:55AM

Art of Rally looks great to me and it's from Funselektor who did Absolute Drift previously - a lovely game and great soundtrack, even though I'm bloody awful at it. And Aztech could be great from the look of that video.

sligeach · 02-06-2021 03:08PM

It took a while to find this thread.

I thought it would be an hour long.

Edit: Silly me, I should have left the NOA Tweet in.

Mr E · 02-06-2021 03:14PM

A 3 hour treehouse afterwards too. Press release:

Tune in at 9 a.m. PT for a Nintendo Direct presentation, featuring roughly 40 minutes of information focused exclusively on Nintendo Switch games mainly releasing in 2021. Immediately after the Nintendo Direct, continue watching for around three hours of deep dives on gameplay for a handful of Nintendo Switch games in Nintendo Treehouse: Live.

While this year’s E3 is going virtual, everyone is invited to tune in to Nintendo’s digital activities on June 15. Both the Nintendo Direct video presentation and Nintendo Treehouse: Live livestream can be viewed at https://www.nintendo.com/e3/.

CastorTroy · 02-06-2021 03:43PM

They're sure to specify "software"

sligeach · 02-06-2021 06:30PM

And the "hardware" New Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Nintendo Switch Pro being shadow dropped tomorrow.

Eduard Khil · 02-06-2021 07:42PM

It better have a new hat too

CastorTroy · 02-06-2021 08:02PM

Announcing during Pride month means the only edition being released contains rainbow colour joycon.

Gunmonkey · 02-06-2021 11:11PM

*doesn't feature Dante from the Devil May Cry series*

Aaaaaand dropped!

CastorTroy · 08-06-2021 08:53PM

So this time next week we'll have release dates for BotW2 and Metroid Prime 4?

Some E3 2021 game announcements potentially leaked by known Reddit Leaker [Open Spoilers]

We have at least one Switch exclusive.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope

Irish Halo · 11-06-2021 01:00PM

Gonna be honest, if the spoiler thing is true I am happy, loved the first one but didn't think it was popular enough to warrant another (always on sale on the eShop, you could get a download code for it for $5 from Ubisoft US recently)

sligeach · 11-06-2021 01:14PM

I don't know if I should have put in a spoiler tag. More and more sites are reporting it(and it was one of my E3 predictions). It makes so much sense to make a sequel; it was a good game, it sold well and they've the engine and a lot of the groundwork done already(similar to BOTW2).

RobbingBandit · 11-06-2021 01:17PM

Definitely radio silence for me on these things now until the treehouse live stream on YouTube the comments are usually gold.

sligeach · 12-06-2021 05:50PM

Ubisoft Forward: Official Livestream - June 2021

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydOv_hunhjE

https://youtube.com/watch?v=ydOv_hunhjE

The pre-show starts at 7pm, but the main show starts at 8pm. Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope should be revealed officially during the show with gameplay footage.

sligeach · 14-06-2021 05:22PM

Less than 24 hours to go until Nintendo's E3 presentations.

CastorTroy · 14-06-2021 05:46PM

20 mins of Metroid and 20 minutes of Zelda?

I hope we get something on both.
They might open and close with the final 2 Smash characters.

Gunmonkey · 14-06-2021 07:04PM

Done!

First half is Samus' inclusion in Fortnite after all (haha psych!All the reports before were fake!)

Second half is the announcement of remakes of the CDi Zelda games...with LIVE-ACTION CUTSCENES! Kevin Hart will play Link, Melissa McCarthy plays Zelda.

I hate all of this.

I'm steadfastly not getting my hopes up but the above at least lowers my expectations to the never before seen 'dungeon' so whatever happens, it's all good.

CastorTroy · 14-06-2021 08:19PM

Woohoo! I love Kevin Hart and Melissa McCarthy.

:pac:

RobbingBandit · 15-06-2021 10:02AM

If that happens 10 monkeys paws won't save you
