How do they keep this stuff under wraps this long? A new Mario Kart game? That’s pretty big right?

It’s an app so it’s not as big of news

They announced this as early as last year I believe but it’s just a mobile game so no one is really covering it too intensely

 

[stay lurkin]

Thanks for the clarification. Nintendo has just been blowing my mind lately

How are you going to play Overwatch with no mics?

It’s up to the game devs to implement voice chat. You can use headphones/mics in Fortnite. No need for the app or any of that other nonsense, just plug and play.

 

[stay lurkin]

I only play with mics when I am playing with friends. Which is hardly ever.

What games are y'all looking to purchase for the holiday season?

 

[suberzat1]

Fire Emblem
Zelda Link's Awakening
Lugi's Mansion 3
Pokémon Sword/Shield
Any indie games that catch my eye before the end of the year.

Still looking to get a game for the kids. Overwatch if it drops this year. But other than that I am set as far as the Switch is concerned. Playing this Dragon Quest demo it seems to be a little too slow for me so I will pass. I was thinking of Pokémon but if I get that it will be clear into next year.

How about you?

 

[stay lurkin]

They need cross save across the board btw

 

[stay lurkin]

Looks like Overwatch may be out on the 18th of October via some reddit post

 

[Ricky D]

Astral Chain (pre-ordered)
Final Fantasy VIII Remastered (pre-ordered)
Modern Warfare
Death Stranding
Pokemon Sword & Shield

 

[floodarea]

Luigi’s Mansion 3
A Hat in Time
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD
Mario & Sonic at the 2020 Olympics

My most anticipated end of year releases

November & December look pretty dry right now so there definitely has to be a direct soon because I don’t think Pokémon is gonna be able to single handedly carry Nintendo’s holiday season like they originally anticipated

 

[datboi81]

Before the end of the year:
Astral Chain
River City Girls
Samurai Shodown
FFVIII Remastered
Mario/Sonic 2020 Olympics

Somewhere down the line:
Pokémon
Link’s Awakening


Really interested in the upcoming Directs to see if they announce anything new. Never played Zero/ZX games, so hopefully that collection comes to Switch as well.

Edit - Thanks Flood, forgot about Mario/Sonic

I ate on the most recent gamestop trade in deal of extra $5 per game. I spent $51 total on games at a pawn shop (8 last gen games for $10+ tax) offer up (19 Xbox one games for $40) and turned it into $275+ credit. Gonna use it on switch stuff during Black Friday I’m hoping to grab a bunch games on sale. For my Xbox one there’s really nothing on the horizon besides modern warfare I’ll wait for Black Friday too...the outer wilds will be on gamepass so ima play that on there.

 

[stick]

I don’t have anything on my radar aside from Blasphemous . I’m usually late to the party on every game.

Three day weekend so I am sure at least 10 hours will be put into Astral Chain
