I didn't know that. I haven't checked that thread for a while.

Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT|

Here's hoping they also tease "Brave" as well, lol. Then we can wait even longer. (Or maybe Joker and "Brave" will be released together.)
January and the beginning of February have been pretty busy. Resident Evil 2, Kingdom Hearts, Super Bowl, SOTU...Nintendo just waiting for an opening.
Ah a Direct thread, my new home.
But seriously, I have enough stuff in my backlog. However I'm just curious about how Nintendo will fill up the rest of the year. Things I hope the next Direct will address:
- Fire Emblem TTH; there is so little info on it. I need my Fire Emblem fix and I'm really curious about the game. It's one of my more anticipated releases of the year.
- Pokémon Gen 8; I imagine it will get its own Direct with a small teaser and more info following through Coro Coro.
- Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3; A Nintendo published Marvel game created by Team Ninja. I just want to know how this game came to be! Plus I'm hoping it will be a quality release.
All of the Nintendo releases ofcourse.
Plus, third party titles. With recent information telling that developers are happy with Switch sales and 2K telling us that Civ VI performed above expectations, I wonder if more third parties will announce games got this year?
I won't expect anything from EA, but everyone else seems fair game right now. I'm expecting older games to hit the system once again.

Optimistically Joker and Brave get dual trailers in the next Direct and are available for download in April/May. Otherwise we'll be waiting until E3 for more news.
They tried to get people to use some community thread first but it just wasn't happening.
Do you guys think that we may get an announcement this year of what Square Enix' BD 11 are cooking up? From the tweets they have given, it sounds like they have multiple projects in the works. One of which is most likely a new Bravely game.
I hope it's Wii Fit Trainer.
I'd take it.(though I hope he's released in March even if it's unlikely.)
Plus I just want to know what his stage is so we could potentially put some rumors to rest.
Let us all be thankful we even have semi-regular Directs to look forward to. For a long time being a Nintendo fan hungry for news was dire.
Assuming it's still on for Spring.
I was surprised their recent investor slides don't list any forthcoming titles apart from mobile ones, normally they show a bunch.
I wonder if the late direct is because nintendo is preparing marketing for the new switch model.
They said no game will be delayed this year. Since FE is slated for Spring, it'll release during that timeframe (April to June)
Confirmed.... for now.
Fire Emblem and Yoshi were listed as 2018 less than two months before e3 when they were delayed.
They did tell investors right at that meeting that none of the games planned for 2019 currently will be delayed. While it's probably not possible for them to guarantee that 100% it at least presents a very confident look.
I'm OK with this.
I'll gladly jump back on board when Joker launches, but I want non-Smash things rn. Smash has been given obscene amounts of attention since June last year.
Logged in for the first time today and this thread nearly gave me a heart attack. Don't play with my feelings like this please.
That's awful far from now. Hoping it gets some surprise April drop.
I'm personally betting on a May launch around Golden Week but who the hell knows.
I don't think it has an official translation yet, it was in the Q&A section. A few people at the meeting tweeted about it, I'm on mobile now but I can check later.
April is piled high with 3rd party releases. It's entirely possible that Nintendo has nothing on the go until May at the earliest...besides (zzz) Yoshi at the end of March.
Third party releases of...decade old ports? (zzz)
Edit: nvm, i just remembered MK11 is that month. Probably some others I can't recall.
Easier to assume that everything was delayed into 2020 so no Switch games after Yoshi this year.
Yeah, he won't be out for awhile. Sakurai said it takes around six months to fully develop a single character.
I'm actually interested in FFXII (and possibly Dragon's Dogma), but it's only because there's nothing "new" in the same category - meaty single player games
I'm predicting no first party games at all in April. They wouldn't be holding on to Yoshi until March 29th if there was a banger lined up in April.
A hub area would be really good. I guess I'm weird I want something to walk around that connects everything together. I like something to explore at least and talk to NPC's. Something like that makes me like a game. I'm sure I'd like the gameplay.
Yeah. I like having more outdoor environments explorable. Even something like Persona I like. It's not big areas to explore, but you have multiple smaller areas to explore and do things in.
It looks good so far from what I've seen. I can't wait to see the jump when it's revealed again.

Nope. Just expressed permission from the admins to go ahead and quarantine the crazies.
I agree here. I even feel H1 2019 is optimistic as I can see Spring turning to Summer turning to end of September. I think there's even a chance Animal Crossing ships before FE. It's a big game for Intelligent Systems, and I think they are going for a new quality-bar for the series and that will take time. I am actually okay with FE getting extra dev time.
I think there's a chance that Yoshi(March), Metroid Prime Trilogy (May), and Daemon X Machina (June) might be it until e3.
With Animal Crossing (August), Fire Emblem (September), Luigi's Mansion (October) and Pokemon (November)/3D World port (November) filling out the year. Maybe a new Labo and some SNES games as well. Marvel Ultimate Alliance will land at some point, probably in the second half, along with increasing 3rd party support.
And in hindsight, 2019 will be a very strong year.
I just don't see room for Bayonetta 3, Star Fox Grand Prix, and magical new 2D Zelda's and F-Zero's to be sprinkled in this year. (although they might all be announced for a 2020 release)
I feel like we more-or-less know the 2019 lineup though.
What I really need is a new Nindies direct this month.
European Indie Highlights are fine. But I need to see a proof showing that everything will be okay regarding the fine tuned radar of Nintendo of America signing indie exclusives.
Specially taking into account that the person in charge of the Switch indie success, Damon Baker, has left the company to work in Microsoft.

I've seen more people leave Retro's game (or Starfox GP) off their lists for games coming this hear. Hmmm
Nah its too early to know 2019 lineup emily rogers hinted at some unnanounced games.
2018 was a very quiet year for Nintendo except for Smash Bros at worst i expect a wave of games released 2nd half 2019 to 2020.
However Metroid Prime 4 was a huge blow for the company even if most likely was gonna be released on 2020 now we don't even know when we will get any info
Until we hear any real news on it, it's just not worth looking forward to.
It seems like it should be coming this year, but for the last several years people were almost certain Retro's game (whatever it is) would be shown or released. Hasn't happened yet, and I'd rather not get my hopes up. There's enough other decent stuff to keep focus on
There is no way Nintendo is not going to release something right before a 10 day holiday.
The plan is that when we reach the point of moving to hangouts, ban everyone that posted here.... Cleanse the infection...
