I dunno what to expect from gen 8 but I hope that they've learned how much fans loved the Pokémon following trainers and – if possible – the LGPE way to encounter wild Pokémon would be welcome ( Yeah, I'm bored of random wild battles tbh)

Yeah, but I saw Serebii even chimed in and said that a Treehouse thing or something was happening.
Mmmm I'd put the 8 games together, there's not enough new content in Deluxe to make it 4 spots above 8. So:
1-8/8D
2-DD
3-DS
4-7
5-Super Mario Kart
6-Super Circuit
7-64
8-Wii
The director of Pokemon Switch approached Eiji Aonuma and was like, "Wow. Teach me, senpai"
I don't believe it until Nintendo says it. Those release date "leaks" are never true.
As an Animal Crossing fan, this doesn't bother me that much. AC seems like a pretty intricate game to create, not to mention the changes and additions that need to be done for localization. I'll gladly wait until September if it means the game is more polished.
That being said, I'll be upset if there's no AC news in the upcoming Direct. Guess I need to start bracing myself for disappointment. :'D
The redeeming factor is all the dates are on a Friday.
I just think that we will know about the next fighter before Joker is release
I thought Animal Crossing would be a Summer title, not just because it's the season when you can do more things but because it's also the time when most people (including kids) have time to play it, more events take place... And it's also big enough to boost the sales by itself.
So what you're saying is that you're ready for that 2D Zelda announcement.
I'm betting on a simulatenous release personally. The problem is that they usually use a lot of in-game footage for character reveals and I don't necessarily think the next fighter is at that stage yet.
I took that to mean they will get "spotlights" like Xenoblade 2, Octopath Traveler, Mario Odyssey, etc. had in past directs. They'll get a little bit longer in-depth segment.
It's not really that hard to just put fake Friday dates, though. Why would Nintendo have already released dates for the games to retailers? Especially the statement is contradicting because you could possibly believe the dates if we were going to be getting official dates in Wednesday's direct. I just don't think that makes sense.
Study, get your degree, study japanese, apply to work in Nintendo, get a high-profile position into the company, leak information and become the next King Zell.
It is weird that Fire Emblem didn't get a leaked date. The Animal Crossing for September could've been a lucky guess.
I don't think I've ever seen these retailer release date "leaks" be accurate, so I wouldn't count out AC in the summer just yet... We'll most likely get official news in 2 days, can't we just wait before we start assuming bad things are coming?
I immediately thought of Johari for female and right after that Elyssa. Elyssa would fit Dead or Alive better though :D
Uhura would be great though as well.
Oh my god, I just realised we are all like Cartman in that double Southpark Story where he is desperate for the Wii in this thread aren't we?
Please excuse my awful photoshop skills, but updated it lol
If Animal Crossing were to be a September game, then where would Mario Maker 2 come? December or October.
While keeping expectations in check is always right, I want to point out that it was King Zell himself who started the whole "Gen 8 will be Pokeymanz BotW"

The ones that "leaked" over a week ago. Everyone assumed they were fake until just now when a supposed insider said that AC was supposed to be coming in September.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe #1 best selling game on Switch
This franchise, which has never performed worse than being the 4th best selling game on it's console, has spun off to become more popular than the franchise it's originally based off of, invented a genre, and spawned a legion of imitators isn't impactful? What?!

Hahahaha, cool!!
It's difficult to believe because the last four months would be so packed. Imagine having Pokémon, Zelda 2D, Mario Maker 2, Animal Crossing and probably something else in the last four months. They're literally the 4 most emblematic Nintendo IP's
Late October a la Odyssey.
The problem is then where does 2D Zelda slot in? Mario's proved it can launch near Pokemon with no issues for either franchise. Zelda hasn't.
Exactly. Mario Kart is basically a safe purchase: the perfect game to compete with friends and play with guests. It's funny, easy to learn and it looks amazing (well, only DD and 8 look amazing).
Then where would we have Zelda 2D ? A streak of AC, Mario Maker 2, Pokemon and Zelda in December would be mind blowing.
If i'm not mis
If i'm not mistaken, there is a sequel of sorts to Okami in the DS
You need to play with it. It's much better that way and it really doesn't manage to collect dust then.
I appreciate Zell here, but I don't believe it until I see it - because right now nothing to me implicates that GF would make such drastic changes to their winning formula
Animal Crossing will most likely be a summer release. At least I hope so.
Fair enough. I'm also not too sure what to think about that. This whole "super ambitious Pokémon game on the same level as BotW" sounds too much like a fans wet dream, but then again, it's King Zell. His track record is pefect as far as I'm concerned.
Welp doesn't matter anyway, we will most likely see in the next month.
