I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t love Shantae or the Knight/Hornet (my personal never gonna happen pipe dream pick) getting announced for Smash, but I have a feeling that’s not gonna happen. Likely we’ll just get General indie game announcements and any Smash stuff will be saved for closer to Joker/version 3.0 dropping.

This was already brought up in the Nintendo Switch thread, but...

On the subject of indie games, famed indie developer The Behemoth teased last week that one of their games is headed for the Switch...

Might we hear more tomorrow or on the Nindies showcase the day after?

Castle Crashers was already confirmed and I don't think anything else in their library would be all that surprising.

The Witness is pretty much wandering around and puzzle solving, with a few random snippets of lore and increasingly difficult puzzles. If you're not enjoying it now, it's probably not going to grab you anytime soon.

Is there some sort of rule of Nindies that the more interesting the games, the less charismatic the hosts? I've been drawn in by most titles featured, but I've seen powerpoint presentations in high school with more interesting speakers.

[up][up][up] Do we know when? I don’t have time to watch it right now.

It’s an instant buy for me. One of the only games that makes me wish I had access to an Xbox.

April 18. Digital only, I think.

It finished. The not-live version should be up soon.

But wow, Cuphead on Switch. I swear I heard them say it was going to be a no-go and stay Xbox exclusive.

HA!

And holy crap Katana ZERO looks like Hotline Miami meets Ninja Gaiden meets some other third game that lets you bork with time and it looks badass AF.

And double holy crap, Crypt of the Necrodancer meets Legend of Zelda looks like candy...

As I said in the Switch thread, I JUST miss having it for my flight to Europe next month. Maybe for the way home. Is there a price yet?

20 dollars like it is every where else.

Hopefully that means Ori is coming to the Switch to. Thats one of the best 2-D platformers in recent memory.

Nintendo has scheduled their end of FY 2018 earnings release for April 25th.

I hope we get a new Nintendo Direct next month. In the mood for one again.

[up] We probably will. Aren't we due for a deeper look into certain new things in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate next month?

I mean, the next big update is coming next month along with Joker, so I'd assume so.

We also need Mario Maker 2's release date. April would be the prime time to do so based on Nintendo's trend of announcing release dates with a minimum of two months notice.

I would bet money on Mario Maker 2 shadow-dropping during E3.

Not lots of money, but I would put a few chips on it.

Give me the name of a full first party Nintendo game with a retail release that was shadow dropped. I'll wait.

There are so many problems with shadow dropping a game of Mario Maker's hype that the chance of it happening is next to nothing.

Double post: Monolith Soft are hiring Technical Artists, Programmers, Planners, Designers, and Management Support for the next Legend of Zelda game.

[up] Whoa, the Xenoblade Chronicles guys are doing the next Zelda game?!

surprisedsurprisedsurprised

EDIT: Wait, weren't they hiring for a medieval fantasy game a few years back? Or am I thinking of Atlus? If it's the former, you guys think this is that fantasy game?

EDIT 2: Yup, Monolith Soft were recruiting for a medieval fantasy game. Back in 2017.
