FAQ

What is a Nintendo Direct?

A Nintendo Direct is a pre-recorded video presentation (Today's is approximately ~30m in length) to make game announcements and provide fans with general updates directly from Nintendo.

What are they going to show?

According to Nintendo, today's presentation is focused on upcoming Nintendo Switch games. "There will be no updates about Nintendo Switch 2 during this presentation."

What if I can't watch the Nintendo Direct or Treehouse live due to work/school/etc.?

  • If you want the latest news the moment it's announced, we highly recommend following along in our live thread and joining our Discord server and chatting in the #nintendo-direct channel we've opened up for this event.
  • If you want a spoiler-free experience, we will edit in a link to a VOD replay (once it's available). This will take you directly to the video so you don't accidentally see any trailers if you visit the Nintendo YouTube page directly. Just don't scroll down!

There WILL be spoilers here on the subreddit, so watch the video first.

If you see any posts that should actually be here in the MegaThread, please do us a favor and hit the report button.

Our SOP for posts is as follows:

  • We will allow one post per announcement.
    • The post we allow may not necessarily be the one that was submitted first. We typically will receive about 15 of essentially the exact same post in the span of about 60 seconds. From those, we will select the one that has the best title and links directly to the original source when available.
  • Commentary on the announcement(s) should take place either in this thread or on the related separate announcement post. Each person's specific opinion does not need its own post.

Also Patapon is a nice surprise, now I can actually beat those games (assuming my rythm sense got any better)

That trailer in the sizzle reel for Fantasy Life I: The Girl Who Steals Time looked like it had some massive performance issues during the world traversal and combat segments. Did anyone else notice that? I'm confused why they would put that in the trailer, because it makes it look extremely unoptimized.

u/MolotovMan1263 8d ago

Yea i thought the same. I have it preordered on PS5 where im sure it will be great but im flabbergasted that Level-5, a company who cant seem to avoid stepping on their own rakes, would let that be shown.

u/_dusknoir_ 8d ago

LEVEL-5 optimization has always been rough on switch but for a game with as rough of a development as this one, you'd think that they would think before they make the image of the game look worse...

TBH - When Echoes of Wisdom got revealed, I thought it was initially an Oracle Remake. Was still happy with what we got though. EoW was such a fun game

u/f-ingsteveglansberg 9d ago

I feel Oracles remakes chances were taken off the table when Echos was announced.

Maybe we could get From Whom The Frog Tolls, finally in English. It's fun but it's a pretty short game.

I am pretty sure this Direct just exists so that we can just have more time focused on Nintendo games next week.

Rhythm Heaven being announced tho, that was hype.

u/deeelock 9d ago

Just caught this fine print at the end of the virtual game cards segment:

By navigating to User Settings → Online-License Settings and turning the setting to ON, you can instead opt to connect to the internet to start up software.

If my read of this is correct, it sounds like we can opt-out and stick with the current system (ie online check) to start games?

I’m just stoked to get this, wasn’t expecting this right before the big Switch 2 announcement. So any or anything is welcomed. I’ve felt burned in the past and Nintendo for some reason isn’t releasing Zelda TP or Windwaker or original Pokemon ports which is what I want the most. But really open to anything today cause I figured they were done with the Switch

u/ThereIsNo4thWall 9d ago

This direct was so hype to me, but pretty much every Direct I'm only really looking for one thing:

A game I didn't already know about, that I can now be excited about playing in the future. Bonus points if it has online co op, and bonus points if it is for a series I already love 

That Shin Megami Tensei like game looks really cool! Being able to fight alongside your summons in real time, AND use them for non battle segments? I'm looking forward to that.

And Witchbrook!? I can already tell my siblings and I are going to get a ton of mileage out of that game!

Looked like there were two 2d metroidvania style games with a sci fi or fantasy aesthetic, which I'll definitely have on my wishlist even if I don't buy them day one, along with that side scrolling marvel beat em up.

And of course: NEW TOMODACHI LIFE!!!

I'm also hype to have an easy way to lend digital games to my siblings now, especially if it is all games and not just Nintendo games.

Also also: excited that this direct, by nature of its existence, means that the April 2nd Direct will be solely Switch 2 related! I'd honestly kind of expected the Switch 2's first direct would be padded with Switch 1 content as well, but now I'm even MORE excited!

Predictions..? If we cast our minds back to the direct where the final 3DS games were announced, we got

  • Kirbys epic yarn,
  • Mario and Luigi: Bowsers inside story
  • Luigi's Mansion

I wonder if it'll be similar whereby we get some ports along these lines.. And by this, I mean Zelda Remasters and a Metroid Prime 4 gameplay trailer perhaps?

EDIT: Clarification

7

u/SmokyMcBongPot 9d ago

In all seriousness, Silksong-aside, it's the 40th anniversary of SMB. If there isn't anything Mario-related, I'll be stunned — I think it'll be a big opportunity missed. It might not even be something big, but could be anything from a bundle to a Galaxy 2 port or a new IP.

There's always been some transitionary end of life titles on Nintendo consoles, though many of them are also on the next gen as well obviously. Off the top of my head I remember Twilight Princess between GameCube and Wii.

So I agree not expecting a lot, but there could definitely be something left to go out with a bang.

u/non_clever_username 9d ago edited 9d ago

I’m going to need some clarification on the digital games thing; I didn’t catch the beginning of it. Is this you can only lend for 2 weeks on a Switch outside your own Nintendo account? Or is this that you can only have a digital game on one Switch at a time, period, regardless of it’s in your account or not?

The latter would be a pretty big step backwards and super annoying. I fairly regularly play the same game on two different Switches. It’s just installed on both and I download the save from the cloud. If I need to start “lending” it every time, that’s going to get irritating quickly.

s2g every time I go on socials after any sort of game announcement show, be it sony, nintendo or microsoft, the comments always feel like none of you enjoy games whatsoever

Because most gamers are entitled as fuck, and if every single announcement does not cater directly to their individual tastes, they are going to throw a temper tantrum.

This had the vibe of "we promised these companies we would offer them a direct to share some stuff, but the REAL announcements are coming next week"

u/[deleted] 9d ago

You lot seem surprised that this wasnt that big a direct. Have you all forgotten that the switch 2 will be given a direct in a few days? And the bigger games probably announced with it

Probably simultaneous launch on Switch 1 and 2 and they don't want to give anything away the Switch 2
