what the

can't remember the last time a major title got anti-delayed

They must really need them on BotW2 to meet that Spring release

oh baby

I was actually looking at the release date earlier today becuase it was going to be the same week as Trails From Zero

not anymore!

Fuck I have less time to play through XB2 now

I just realized that in the time it's taken to make four Xenoblade games, Final Fantasy has made two numbered games, one of which is an MMO. Although, that doesn't include FFVIIR, I guess.

seems weird to move from holiday to right in the middle of summer, especially if BOTW2 isn't coming out this year

to me this suggests they have something bigger planned for winter besides bayo 3

but who knows. nintendo didn't really have a holiday title last year and they did fine so I guess nothing means anything anymore

isnt Pokemon Gen 9 this winter

I assume that and Xenoblade would fill a similar niche

Nothing is going to be bigger for Nintendo this Winter than Pokmon Scarlet/Violet anyways

yeah I mean other than Pokemon, which I consider it's own thing and a yearly staple

Can't wait to become one with and go inside of my party members giggity

watch out for Switch ports of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess

Xenoblade wasn't a winter game, they had it slotted in for September before this.

The simplest explanation is that XBC3 is done, Splatoon 3 isnt, and they did a release date swap. Im not expecting a huge Nintendo game to still be unannounced as they have a lot of stuff expected for the second half of the year.

Anyway that trailer looks fantastic.

oops. just ignore me then.

wh-.... huh?!

what?!..... that's so close wtf!

Oh shit

Oh boy, now there's two playable Nopon.

Good. Twice the Heropon, double the purchases.

That wasn't a sarcastic "oh boy" btw.

So the MC like fuses with other characters inside like Digimon S3? Interesting

actually my first thought was Tales of Zestiria ._.

shhhhh

This looks so God damn good.

Splatoon 3 getting delayed seems like the most logical explanation. Xenoblade is on good track with its releases.

A new generation of Pokmon always does a good bit better though.

Splatoon 3 hasnt been delayed yet. Could be an August release since Nintendo doesnt have anything major it I think

you can move games forward in this day and age???

I think insider talk has been that Xenoblade 3's been almost done since last year, so this certainly lends credence to that.

trailer beated

good lord I wasn't expecting something this big, and holy crap that's a lotta characters in battle

Reminder Nintendo has been sitting on a finished Metroid Prime remaster for at least 2 years now v_v

Is that a reliable rumour?

it's from Jeff Grubb and I trust his sources

Seven characters all screaming battle quotes at the top of their lungs...

And people thought "Think you can take ME?!" was cacophonous. This is going to be hell.

Will each character have more than five battle quotes?

if i hear a single moment of silence in battle i'm ragequitting and giving it a 0/10

They'll pay for their insolence

idk it doesn't really seem like that many party members when you remember that there were technically 6 characters on the field in Xenoblade 2 that could talk as well.

I should... Probably finish Xenoblade 1...

So erect it hurts

ESRB description

"This is a role-playing game in which players follow fighters through a conflict between two nations. From a third-person perspective, players complete quests and engage in melee battle against enemies (e.g., animals, creatures, human boss characters). Combat is highlighted by impact sounds, explosions, and cries of pain. Cutscenes depict further instances of violence: characters impaled by sword; a character shooting herself off screen; a man stabbing himself off screen. A handful of scenes depict blood (e.g., droplets falling from a wounded character; drips of blood on a character's face). Some fantasy characters/creatures are designed with revealing armor and/or anatomy (e.g., deep cleavage, partially exposed breasts). The words shit, arsehole, and bitch appear in the dialogue."

my first reaction to seeing this topic bumped was just reading the first 5 words of the title and thinking "oh shit did it get bumped up AGAIN"

You Will Know Our Names, Arsehole
