177 - Nintendo Direct.
🕑 Added 2021-06-22 05:07:25 +0000 UTCHi, bros. How is everyone doing? Awful and horrible I hope? *Khem*, I mean great and wonderful I hope? This was such a shitty year for me. I know it's true for pretty much everyone, but I am still surprised by the fact that yet the last year was bad enough, this one turns out to be even worse.
Why so late? There was a technical problem on patreon's side (the one where they put my email on spam list every few months). It's been resolved though. So it's all good. Thank you patreon support person :)
A lot of crap happened in my personal life, a lot of crap happened to my close ones. Only fraction of it was pandemic related, the rest just decided to happen all in one year. I know it always could get worse though, so I shouldn't complain too much.
That being said the bad will sure be evened out by the good eventually. Here is waiting for a straight two years of awesomeness incoming. Plus, these days I do feel better health-wise and honesty, that's the most important thing ^^
Nintendo Direct was such a let down. Here is a list of things I was hoping would happen: Bayonetta 3, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Metroid Prime 4, New Monolith Soft game, SwitchPro, new Fire Emblem, more old Zelda game remasters. -_-
I do realize that for the most part my expectation were just my own fantasies and nothing else, but I did expect announcements that would make me exited for the future releases. Instead I got Advanced Wars that looks like a mobile game and BOTW2 that looks nothing like it's predecessor. I don't need sky islands to explore. Hyrule was big enough already, I just wanted to rebuild it alongside with the Princess. Was it too much to ask?
Advanced Wars. The original was absolutely fantastic. The remake looks exactly like the original only it lacks any soul. I can just feel that it was created by western professional game developers. Professionals who just do their job. Watch the comparison vids: pixel units have way more detail and character and then the new 3d ones that look like plastic toys. And the characters of course, the original designs looks charming and sexy, the new animated ones look sterile.
The work. I am still nowhere near ready to release Ep.12. Curiously enough while watching E3 I've been yelling at the screen: "Metroid Prime 4 is not ready yet? Oh, come on, man!". And here I am doing the same thing. Sorry, but it is what it is, the Ep. needs more work. I need to make sure it tickles you family-friendly-bone enough to make you forget about the troubles you have to deal with your own life while you play, otherwise what is the point of all this?
And that's it. Love you all. See you next Monday.

I am now looking forward to the next direct (whenever it may be). This one felt weak (to me personally) so next one is bound to be better :)
AKAMAN
All I know is that this Direct felt week to me. But I'm sure next one will be much better :)
AKAMAN
I'm sure it will sell just fine :)

oh man.. you can get mad at them.. WE can get mad at them all. It's not like we also make games and are late to release or else... but huh hoh ! there is no comparison XD, on one side you got people doing game for fun, free time and such. On other side you got dozens of people, with shit tons of years of experience and a budget of millions $$$... So yeah, we are totally free to yell at them anytime XD, i expected a small pop out of one of my favorite game of all time "time splitters"... :(. i was still having a bit of hope. But heh...i guess it's definitly dead :(

I heard Metroid prime 4 was in development hell, and got rebooted. For Metroid prime trilogy, beyonetta 3 and Zelda legacy collection I’m conflicted. On one hand they announced beyonetta 3 Metroid 4 way too early which is all on Nintendo. Yet they are just working on the game not sacrificing dev time to make an e3 reveal. generally covid-19 has deeply impacted the game’s industry not in distribution they do it electronically, but in production it’s easier to know what the state of the game is when you can see how far along everyone is at in house.

And before anyone says something I’m talking about a DIFFERENT version apart from Age of Calamity

I’m right there with ya Akabur (Or would you prefer Akaman now) while what they came up with was certainly NEW I’m not gonna be a happy Camper if they make me look for more Golden Poop again😡, they could’ve done something cool like Gathering Materials to rebuild houses (a little like Link’s House from the 1st BOTW but better) or even teaming up with other Characters to clear out Enemy Territory’s and repopulate them with the Hylian’s, Goron’s, Gerudo’s, Zora’s, and Rito’s of that said Area Link and his Team Subjugated from

Seldom when 2D Sprites transition to 3D in a good way. But im optimistic enough to hope that the AW models look better near release. (At the very least I still hope it sells good just to revive the franchise)
