It's not a Nintendo Direct, but you can expect to see some new Switch-related information tomorrow, when a Treehouse Live broadcast takes place. The livestream will focus on Paper Mario: The Origami King, alongside a reveal of a brand new game coming from Wayforward. Be sure to catch the stream, when it kicks off tomorrow at 10am PT/6pm BST/1pm ET.

There is rumor about a direct on July 20th and now this.. Juum... Very suspicious hope it's a direct we need it, there are literally no games for this year.

So what's the difference between the 'Direct' and the 'Treehouse'?

Edit: Just noticed that it's a livestream

Tree house is just dudes playing random games that were announced on the direct... Weird that the tree house Is first... Hmmm...

Historically, the Treehouse events tend to take place after E3's showcases, and give more indepth looks at games that were revealed that day. I assume they're calling it a Treehouse here because it's just two games...?

For all the tempers in the UK the stream is at 6pm.

Treehouse? Must be a new Donkey Kong.

 

[AmandaRose]

Hopefully we get a sneek peek at some other games.

Just checking your times are correct seems a huge difference between the two time zones lol.

Edit ignore this central Euro time I'm an idiot lol

I'm pretty sure it was correct--I used a converter though, so it could have been off, as Nintendo EU/UK hasn't announced anything with a given timezone. I edited in BST/GMT anyway, as they tend to be the more popular timezones in that region? Sorry for being a typical American

The more I hear about Origami King the less I like the sound of it. Hopefully whatever game they reveal is a little more exciting.

I heard the new Paper Mario doesn't use XP, which is...concerning. I actually managed to trust that this game would be good, based off the first few trailers, but now I'm feeling wary. After the last two games, I should know better than to get excited for this series.

No you were correct it was me being dumb lol I forgot it was actually called CET as I just call it euro time. I confused myself for a bit.

Wayforward making a new game? Is it... a shantae remake?

Wouldn't they have just announced it at the LRG3 event with the other shantae game they announced.

 

[Deleted User]

I hope wayforward new game is blaster master zero 3.

 

[ShadowOne333]

Treehouse stream?
LOL

The people streaming and playing the games are usually boring af.
The same goes to all Treehouse events I've seen.

Seriously, the only good thing to come out of a Treehouse in years has been the Samus Returns announcement during one, and that's it, everything else is just meandering at best.

Maybe... it was a stream on limited run games. Not usually for announcing new games, but old or existing ones.

I hope wayforward new game is blaster master zero 3.

No, that's the wrong company. Inti Creates does that game. Not wayforward.

While bummed out, I am still a little curious at the puzzle-focus of battles. It could still be engaging in a way sticker star and color splash was not. If the variety is there, with rewards for completing battles in X turns, that could still be a fun hook to pull me through.

New Wayforward game is River City Girls 0 as foreshadowed by LRG's most recent stream
