I’m excited to see what Capcom does in the future, and with their support of Switch in the past few years, I can’t wait to see what’s next. An extensive roadmap and pre-order details were announced, making for a meaty inside look. Of course, we all knew that Monster Hunter Rise’s expansion Sunbreak was coming soon, but this was a great look at what’s in store for players that have grinded in the original game. It seems like Capcom wants a piece of gaming glory, as it was the company that opened for this month’s Sony State of Play and the June 2022 Nintendo Direct. A Monster Opener Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak just looks better and better The company’s trying something new, and I respect that. While content creators were frantically scrubbing the video to cover announcements first, it was also in stark contrast to the recent livestreaming events we had in the past month with the Summer Game Fest.

What surprised me was that the Nintendo Direct Mini wasn’t a live premiere rather, it was a scheduled upload that was delivered all at once. The Nintendo Direct June 2022 Will Not be Televised I was wondering why Nintendo didn’t make their mark during “Not E3” week, but after seeing what the Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase offered… I think they just wanted to give Sony some breathing room before inundating us with announcements. It’s advertising decisions like these that make me enjoy what the publisher has in store, and their Nintendo Direct presentations have taken off since 2017. Then you have things like Paper Mario: The Origami King coming out of nowhere on a random day of the 2020 pandemic. On the one hand, you have astronomically hyped projects getting mentioned and then not seeing the light of day (Metroid Prime 4, cough cough).

Nintendo has a weird way of showing off its recent works in the Switch era.
