That certainly was a direct. 

Eh, it is cool to see SNES Killer Instinct and SNES Battletoads getting put on NSO. Time to see if my memories of love hold true for that version of KI. 

 

But if the rumors about the Switch successor being delayed recently are true, this will probably the normal state of affairs with announcements (remakes, remasters and enhanced ports) for half a year or more with the Switch until they announce the new console time frame.

Was expecting another Xbox game aside from Grounded but guess they're gonna wait on that.  The Rare games were a pleasant surprise along with the Penny shadow drop.  Wasn't expecting anything amazing so it being overall meh met my expectations.

 

2 things though...thwy didn't show the new trailer for Contra for whatever reason and Mother 3 is coming to NSO in Japan only.  So...I can imagine the EB fans over here feeling some way about that as per usual.

 

Edit:  also as Wellman says the rumor timeline of events has shifted again.  So possibly next is indie direct then main Direct in April that may now not be the reveal date successor now.  Saying it's gonna get delayed to June.  Again grain of salt and all that.

I wish I still had my "Killer Cuts" CD that came with my copy of Killer Instinct...

Viola is going to take time to grow on people especially since we don't know what the full fate of the original Bayo is at the moment.  I don't doubt that there's going to be some reservations on her especially after her debut and the ending of Bayo 3.  I'm not in that camp but I get it.  We'll have to see what happens whenever Bayo 4 happens.

With Kamiya gone from Platinum, I wonder if Bayonetta 4 is even going to be a thing now 😔

Bayo 4 as far as we are aware is still going to be a thing since they even mentioned "the next game" in some interviews.  We know Bayo is Kamiya's baby since he started it but he'd been taking more of a backseat to the games since Bayo 2.  What will be more interesting will be how the next game will shape without him looking over it or giving any input at all on it.  I think a good chunk of the team over there have worked under Kamiya enough that they probably have a sense of what makes good combat in the series and story is whatever...I don't think this is a Kojima situation where he leaves and most of the great ideas/people involved go with him.

Spoiler

I thought this was only releasing on Switch but looks like this is also coming to the other platforms.  So it's not just DLC it's pretty much like P5R it looks like.

Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game - Runners of the Lost Ark

Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Royal Edition Trailer

Monster Hunter Stories - Announcement Trailer

Rise of the Ronin - World Vignette

World of Goo 2 - Trailer #1

Outcast - A New Beginning in 60 secs

I lent my copy of SNES KI to a friend of a friend, who I to this day think he stole it and but he claimed it was lost. Killer Cuts, I straight up lost in either my house or that of another friend. I can't remember but it was before I invested in CD cases and had the computer capabilities needed to rip CDs.

I still wonder about the ownership of the IP. At this point Nintendo has published as 3/4 of the games in the franchise. Does Sega still have it or have they given/sold it to Nintendo or Platinum Games yet?

Sega still owns the IP.  We still don't know exactly how the exclusivity deal is working out but if I'm hazarding a guess those Bayo 2 and Bayo 3 are essentially being made on Nintendo's dime and they're funding making those games along with the special version of Bayo 1 with the costumes in it.    And I'm sure the contract is probably similar to W101's that they can't put it on any other platform unless Nintendo gives the go ahead to do so.  Sega probably gets a small cut as the IP owner but they benefit in not having to do pretty much anything  while most of the onus is on Platinum and Nintendo.

didn't know this was an issue

Edit:

 

OK so the 2nd game coming to the switch is in fact Pentiment...they just didn't announce it in the direct.

Alriiight so far the rumors have been fairly on point so far...

Sega owns the IP. Nintendo owns the publishing rights to Bayonetta 2 and 3. For how long? Not sure, It's been while since Bayo 2 dropped and Sega has not released it elsewhere.

That was the funniest one to me. "She's totally gay!" What? The woman who said she loves Baby Making is gay? No gay person has ever said that lol. The girl spent 2 entire games flirting with Luka every second of screen time, and not once with a woman, totally gay eh? 

 

Bayo 3 blowing up their world was the funniest shit. "Whaaaaat, she loves Luka?!?!" 

 

Yea dumbasses how did you not notice HE is the Damsel in Distress in this series? Lmao. Media literacy is in the toilet lol 

The Bayo community on Reddit is insufferable. It's a bunch of gay boys who are constantly shipping Bayo and Jeanne and they HATE Luka. I get that she's a gay icon for being a powerful woman but the evidence she's not what they want her to be is in their face in every game and they just ignore it completely.

Honestly I used to not care about "shipping" either way but now I flat out despise it. People are taking their fantasies for a reality. What's worse is these type of lunatics are getting themselves involved in an official capacity at some of these IPs. Creators need to keep tighter controls over their works whenever possible.

Reddit is overrun with weirdos and communists.

oof, I'm already wondering what kind of disastrous results that Borderlands movie will get at the box office.  It doesn't look quite as awful as I was expecting, but still that's some weird casting decisions going on there; particularly in pint-sized Kevin Hart as Roland and Jaime Lee Curtis as Tannis.

 

...also---no Mordecai or Brick???  It looks like the main group being focused on here is Lilith, Roland, Tina, Tannis and Claptrap.

I don't care if it's all in good fun, but when they get aggressive about it I just want to say things like, "you're playing as her and Luka's actual fucking child in half the game" just to hurt their feelings lol

It's nice for some specific interest stuff, but holy shit, the derangement level is high in a hell of a lot of the subs. I know the term "autistic" gets thrown around way too freely online, but it really seems to fit a disproportionate % of Reddit users.

Something that was suspected about the whispers in the end game have been confirmed in the interview at the end of ACC in the theaters apparently.

 

Edit:

  

Sooo...Nintendo apparently announced an Action RPG coming to Switch but it's only announced for Japan at the moment...it looks pretty damn cool!
