[Let’s Talk] Indie World Showcase + Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase reactions

Nintendo fans tend to go by the company’s patterns, but every now and then, the company throws a curveball. That’s exactly what happened this week. We’re generally used to getting a Nintendo Direct before the Tokyo Game Show in September, but we instead saw a new presentation to end August. On top of that, it was shown right after an Indie World Showcase. We’re not used to seeing back to back presentations from Nintendo, but again, you can’t always predict what the Big N will do.

There were so many games between the two presentations – over forty in fact – that we can’t possibly mention them all here. For the Indie World Showcase through, a big highlight was the announcement and release of Pizza Tower. Meanwhile, the Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase featured Capcom Fighting Collection 2, Castlevania Dominus Collection, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 1st, Atelier Yumia, Tales of Graces f Remastered, Tetris Forever, MySims: Cozy Bundle, Star Overdrive, and more.

Highlights from last week’s topic: What would you like to see at the Nintendo Museum?

Addy

A gallery of Satellaview games being preserved and get mentioned, and not letting them dissappear into existence.

That or some concept art galleries from their older games. Have them be changed every month.

Zeebor

I wanna see rotating art exhibits for the various teams. Mainly Monolithsoft since they still have those giant scale models of Bionis and Mechanonis they made as the pitch document for Xenoblade 1.

Padre

Not able to visit, but I would like so see every Game&Watch device side by side with my own two eyes.
