Last night Nintendo announced that Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise will release on the Switch in 2020. 
I'm absolutely speechless.

Over the years, I've played hundreds - maybe thousands of games. I've never played anything like Deadly Premonition before or since.
Every October 1st, I replay Deadly Premonition on my Xbox 360 and try to %100 complete it before Halloween is over.
I will not play it any other time of year in order to keep it special to me.

Now, against all odds, Deadly Premontion 2 will see the light of day. Mastermind Swery65 is again at the helm. 
With all of the companies involved in making the first game either splitting, closing or being bought out by others - a sequel seemed like it would be next to impossible to be okayed.
I have not been this happy in a long, long time.

If you haven't played the first Deadly Premonition yet, I highly suggest playing the Xbox 360 version.
Yes, the graphics look like a PS2 game. Yes the map system is confusing. Yes the driving mechanics (at first) are horrendous. But if you complete the game - truly complete the game, you understand that every single quirk about the game is exactly as it should be. The PS3 and PC versions look a bit better, but are really, really glitchy.

If anyone else is excited about this game - or is at least curious to check out the trailer, here's the link below.
Today is a good day.

Wait. Commander Santa?? WTF?? Dude where have you been?

AHHHHH!!!!!! IT'S SANTA!!!!!

Lol the big news here is Santa.

Hi Fredo and MuNKeY!

I've been over my head busy, but had this announcement sent to me by many friends last night. 
Deadly Premonition is my favorite game of all time. I needed to share this here after I peeked and hadn't seen it mentioned here yet.

I'm happy today. Like legit - not faking it happy. 
It's been a long time.

Good to see you guys too.

Gloves is a mod now?

Howdy officer Gloves.

Hey bud it's Toxerino!

Never played this one before, but on your recommendation I'll definitely be picking it up! Glad to hear you're feeling good! Your NA brothers are here if you ever wanna chat. 

Seeing this post put a smile on my face!
 

Toxie! What happened to Andy's Arm? (I'm assuming Megamanfan?)

Great to see you're having a good day at the very least! I've never actually... played... Deadly Premonition. Maybe eventually lol.

Hahah yeah Andrew Robert Lynch.

I have been going through an indentity crisis lately and just landed on this as this months user name.
 

yeah this was the most shocking reveal at the Direct. Wow.

Yep, and I'm not!
 

!?!?
Cats and Dogs living together!
Mass hysteria!

And has still yet to auction off the banhammer. 
 

Come to Syracuse with Otto this year!   
 

We're gonna need to see a picture of that coffee mug

What up Santa! Might have to bust out the 360 in light of the good news. I never would have guessed it, either.

This thread made my day! Deadly Premonition is a great game. I like your idea of playing it once a year in October. Gonna give it a go next month. I do play on the PS3 though. Don't remember it being all that bad as far as glitches go.

same place you were until a couple weeks ago?

Breaking my silence to say hi Santa. I did my best but I failed to live up to your legacy.

This game looks hilarious. Thanks for your enthusiastic recommendation. I've never played it but have heard a lot about it. I will be picking it up and playing it on Switch when the physical comes out. What an unexpected reveal.

Interesting...it's listed as an Xbox One X backwards compatible title...consider me interested!

I might have one that I suddenly find redundant with the Switch release

 

My friend sent me the news as soon as it was announced. So stoked.
