LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Piccoro]

Guess we'll learn who the next Smash fighter is!

 

[ItsOKAY]

 

[unicornKnight]

I know people will ignore my post but it says focused, it doesn't mean exclusively games of H1. This has happened before.

Has it been announced for the first half of 2021?

See this is exactly what I am talking about.

 

[Deleted member 81119]

Just a reminder. ALL general directs have "focused on Games releasing in *timeframe*" messages,. They do this with every normal direct. And always they have something beyoond that timeframe.... Hence "FOCUSED ON" not "EXLUSIVELY SHOWCASING".... Also we know of basically nothing for the rest of the year so most games will be new anyhow.

Click to shrink...

Yeah but they've got a decent lineup till the end of March. This is a real surprise. I'm beyond excited.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

We should get really wild and not expect Metroid Prime 4, BOTW 2, Mother 3, Star Fox, Bayonetta 3, etc.

Click to shrink...

I don't expect any of them.

I expect all of them.

 

[Neiteio]

I just want Reggie to come back

 

[Ozzie]

MH FOR SMASH!!!

 

[Mark1]

Why are some of y'all acting like what they said is disappointing? We have like 2 big games coming out in the next 2 months and that's it. I would hope they are showing more games for the first half of the year.

Click to shrink...

That's where the new digital E3 event comes in!

Hyped for this. Its been way too long. And we have seen so little since the pandemic started early 2020.

 

[Spork4000]

I think Zelda will absolutely be there. June will be 2 years sense we'r heard anything about the botw sequel, and it's been in development sense they finished the DLC. It's definitely coming this year.

 

[Rommaz]

My wishlist is:
Bayo 3 news
SMTV news
BoTW 2 news.

I'll be more than happy with at least one of those.

 

[thecouncil]

This is going to have EVERYTHING.
All of our dreams are going to come true.
I'm hyped beyond belief and if it doesn't deliver, I'll absolutely abandon Nintendo.
Last chance.

 

[rewkol]

As a member of Team No Directs until Covid is Over, may I just say how amazing this is. 50 minutes! They are really going to spoil us, aren't they?

 

[Kouriozan]

Expecting at least 5 mins of Bravely Default 2, the game release next week and the marketing has been almost non-existant so far.

 

[Starphanluke]

I think Botw 2 is a holiday release and seeing as they're just talking about first half of the year I think not

Click to shrink...

Almost every year aside from 2020, they've announced the Holiday game in a Direct/Presentation early in the year.

 

[Westbahnhof]

Zelda mod for Skyrim on the Switch confirmed?

 

[Deleted member 10737]

am i asleep?
is this a dream?

 

[olobolger]

50 f*cking minutes 🥲

 

[Tagg]

I love Smash Bros but we better not get a fucking 20 minute tutorial on the new character.

 

[demu]

I think Botw 2 is a holiday release and seeing as they're just talking about first half of the year I think not

Click to shrink...

They didn't say that they're only talking about first half of 2021.

 

[Cronogear]

Metroid Prime Trilogy
New trailer for BotW2

Is all I want. Please.

 

[Waggles]

Switch +, baby, come on now

 

[bsigg]

I think Zelda will absolutely be there. June will be 2 years sense we'r heard anything about the botw sequel, and it's been in development sense they finished the DLC. It's definitely coming this year.

Click to shrink...

So you think BoTW2 is coming between now and the end of June?

 

[Xavi]

God finally, I've been away from Nintendo discussions for so long. Please let me get excited again.

 

[TheGamingNewsGuy]

I love Smash Bros but we better not get a fucking 20 minute tutorial on the new character.

Click to shrink...

We likely won't. That will likely be in a week or two

 

[texhnolyze]

50 minutes long?

 

[Tom Nook]

YOOOO!!!!!!!

NINTENDO HYPE IS BACK!!!!!!!!

 

[Jahranimo]

You know, I'm usually the one for reasonable expectations but screw it!

Bayo 3 will be here FOR REAL
NMH3 DATED FAM
Age of Calamity DLC
Plants vs Zombies Switch reveal
That Ace Attorney collection
The character you don't want in Smash lol
Camelot's next game (Mario Golf?)
Zelda 35th anniversary boogaloo
Hopefully another BOTW2 trailer, maybe even the official title

 

[DeckardWintermute]

 

[Khanimus]

As always, expect nothing, and nevertheless let hype consume you

Definitely don't expect any BotW2

 

[unicornKnight]

Just a reminder. ALL general directs have "focused on Games releasing in *timeframe*" messages,. They do this with every normal direct. And always they have something beyoond that timeframe.... Hence "FOCUSED ON" not "EXLUSIVELY SHOWCASING".... Also we know of basically nothing for the rest of the year so most games will be new anyhow.

Click to shrink...

Yeah this. I think it also happened in E3 17, they said focsed on games coming that year and then they had stuff like MP4.

 

[Jencks]

No way they won't even acknowledge BotW2. Even if it's just Aonuma talking to the camera or some shit.

 

[ChaosXVI]

I think it will end with another big tease for BoTW2, with the big blowout happening this summer with a Fall/Holiday release.

 

[Spork4000]

Yeah but they've got a decent lineup till the end of March. This is a real surprise. I'm beyond excited.

Click to shrink...

First half ends in June.

 

[ChaosZeroX]

Damn nice 50 min long. Wonder what they got cookin.

 

[werezompire]

I'm expecting some SMT news, Xenoblade X enhanced port, some Zelda stuff (ports of old games, news on BotW, maybe a new 2D game), and a surprise Nintendo game that no one predicted that's coming out in a couple months. I think we'll get a big game announcement that is coming late 2021 or 2022 like Resident Evil: Revelations 3 as a "one more thing."

If they don't reveal a Switch Pro, then I think the Switch Pro isn't a thing that is actually happening and they'll just go straight to a new system in 1-3 years.

 

[Anacaona]

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Coi]

44 minutes of some new characters movements and additions for smash bros plus 6 minutes for a trailer with mixed footage of the upcoming games.
Zzzero hype for me until a new they announce a new console :(

 

[OlJimmyBigWig]

Here we go Funky Kong in smash!

 

[LaytonWright]

No Pokemon news remember all! That will be its own direct.

Expectations some updates on games I reckon you will get one of Bayonetta 3 or Metroid not botb.

The Great Ace Attorney should be announced

I expect a Zelda announcement of some sort..a collection and probably a BOTW2 Trailer.

Some More Monster Hunter Rise Info.

I think they will start with Smash.

 

[Ozzie]

am i asleep?
is this a dream?

Click to shrink...

ITS REALITY AND WE MIGHT SEE GREAT ACE ATTORNEY ANNOUNCED HERE!!

 

[+AshenMortality+]

Also new details about the new ZAO cd. What a day!!!

 

[ErazorRain]

So you think BoTW2 is coming between now and the end of June?

Click to shrink...

I don't but Nintendo ALWAYS showcases stuff from outside the timeframe on a general direct. It says "FOCUSED ON" not "ONLY EXCLUSIVELY".... Sure, they might not show it but you can't rule it out either.

 

[Gradon]

mother 3 for sure

Click to shrink...

 

[Bonejack]

Obligatory:

 

[Deleted member 7148]

Oohhhhohohohohh baby here we go.

 

[Slushimi]

Give me any new Monolith Soft game, or a Xeno X port. I'll be there day one

 

[Zippo]

Gee, Nintendo, it sure would be great if you announced that fucking Metroid game already.

It's finished, sitting in a PC, somewhere in Spain.

 

[Regiruler]

AAAA@AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[Deleted member 81119]

I 100% misunderstood your post. I'm finding it very difficult to process information at the moment.
