>>9804 i will spoon-feed you this time.
basically Nintendo said "fuck you" to the press and decided to do their own advertising and news "directly" to the their player base, that's what a direct is, the own Nintendo devs and upper management giving us the news about their new games, consoles, DLC and such.
the tree-house is like a let's play stream thing where a bunch of Nintendo guys from dev teams and QA goes to show new games on the Nintendo platforms.
is basically what gamergate strives for in terms of devs speaking directly with the players without the meddling of the corrupt journalism.
i expect shenanigans because of april 1st, there will be something about bananas and Iwata somewhere in it.

I honestly don't know what to expect. Probably an april fools joke like MOTHER 3 or some bullshit that'll throw 8chan, 4chan, and the rest of the internet into a fucking frenzy. I'm actually fairly afraid to see what Nintendo's up to around this time. Actually, around this time last year they had Mega64 do that E3 sketch which was fucking awesome. Fils-a-mech will never be a thing I forget.

>>9879 Splatoon got as popular as it is with both style and substance. You may consider the hype behind the game all based on the sole factor of squid lolis but there genuinely is a lot promising about it. First and foremost it's a new Nintendo IP which usually turn out to be incredibly fun (see Pushmo, Dillon, Harmoknight) made by Nintendo EAD. Second it's a shooter with an interesting mechanic that strengthens team play as opposed to "Let me be a totally cool lone wolf and post my quickscopes on youtube" Third, it has one of the best visual styles to be featured in a game in years. We haven't gotten a "color" game with a city-scape in a long while. De Blob comes to mind but that game was garbage anyway.

SMT x FE was really the only interesting thing to me, but I don't see how it would validate me owning a Wii U. The new Xenoblade maybe, but for one game? No. And I don't like spoopy games so I probably wouldn't get Fatal Frame.

SMT x FE looked like garbage. They took away what made SMT interesting and slathered teenage highschoolers everywhere with shitty J-Pop. Just when I thought Atlus couldn't insult SMT any more than they have, they go ahead and present possibly the worst designs they've ever created. Persona looks better than the Persona rip-off. It's actually incredibly sad to see such potential fall into the hands of Compile-Hearts tier developers who will likely turn the game into an every day cliche anime about friendship and the power within. Everything else was awesome but SMTXFE really hit me hard and I don't see myself getting over it any time soon.

>>10180 I have some doubts on that. It's SMT even in Japan, which means different than in the US. SMT here is a term for damn near every game Atlus makes, but Japan it's still Shin megami tensei and it's specifically that core series crossed over with fire emblem.
With this new trailer we didn't see a single character from either franchise. That alone makes me believe that's not giving us the whole picture. Likely the scenes in that trailer were from the early portion of the game before some huge cataclysm happens that causes the two series to cross over. The characters we saw are going to be the main party, with both SMT and FE characters being either antagonists or allies. Maybe even summoned or something, no way to tell.
I just don't think it can be written off just with this. Some SMTs have started in this kiddy high school setting only to get crazy.

There seem to be FE characters, but their faces are hidden and they have different designs. Top that with very stereotypical animu-esque OC characters and the game fails to capture the essence of either game, both of which do have at least some variations from the animu stereotype and are pretty dark (in a good way).
Everyone's just really salty that this game isn't what they expected. Me included. This game still has a minor shot at redemption in the gameplay department, but the aesthetic is already lost to so many.
>>10208 >SMT has always been more subdued while Fire Emblem has a rainbow of hair colors alone FE has some colorful designs, but not this level of colorful.

Doing something different could have seemed easier to do for the development team. But we saw at the end a ruined tokyo type area, so I think this is just a super colorful unique world the protagonists are from, and we'll go to different SMT worlds and FE worlds that fit their own colors and such properly.

OK, so… I'm gonna guess US/EU will get the double pack, with the DLC being sold separately. If the DLC isn't on-cart content, and each story actually feels like a full game, then I can deal with buying the third path separately. I'd rather have everything in one game - I hope we get that - but if it's you get 2 and you have to buy the third, OK fine.
