E3 2021 Hype Thread

Not Prime??? This gonna be 2D??

Yes!

They did mention that Prime is still in development. Metroid 5 (Metroid Dread) is being developed by the same team that did Metroid 2 for 3DS.

I'm still shocked (happily) that they revived that old trademark filing from ages ago.

..am I the only one excited about Cruis’n Blast? an arcade port from 2017. Love me some Crus'n since the N64 days.

That one looked awesome, as well as the new Worms game and the Fatal Frame port (apparently it's coming out for pretty much every console).

There was some pretty big news in the Live Treehouse portion that should have probably been in the main presentation. Gameplay of No More Heroes 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-iLPK5vl4M

I didn't know this game existed. I'm certainly going to keep an eye on that one.

I know Bandai Namco had games sprinkled throughout E3, but their presentation made Capcom look good. Only one game? Seriously?

I think it is safe to say that Nintendo "won" E3 this year. Limited Run Games had a really strong showing and came in a close 2nd for me. Xbox/Bethesda a distant 3rd. Ubisoft and Square-Enix had a game or two that I'm interested in but I wasn't blown away by anything they showed.

I'll be getting Metroid Dread, Shin Megami Tensei V, and Castlevania Requiem for sure this year (assuming Requiem releases this year). I'm on the fence about double dipping on Rondo of Blood for TGCD.

I'll gladly take Metroid Dread and Cruis'n Blast.

What was Metroid 4?

[MrPopo]

Fusion. It was set after Super, which was 3.

I love seeing physical fight on in the all digital future, so LRG won E3 for me. Plus, a lot of what they showed is retro and indie games, which I love. LRG gets hate from some for reasons that I understand, but I still will support any company that keeps pushing for physical releases. Some of these games have been available digitally for a while now, so I assume a physical release will be "complete" and not require any downloads for patches, updates, etc.

I pre ordered the Huntdown Collector's Edition. I would have preferred a standard edition, but they're not offering one. I can't wait to get Castlevania Requiem and Rondo for TGCD (hopefully it won't be too expensive). I love collecting Castlevania games.

The rest of my year is looking like Mario Golf, Monkeyball, WarioWare, and Advance Wars. Cruis'n Blast is a wait and see how the port is in multiplayer.

I need more Switch Online games.
