I don't even remember 2015-2016. The time also known as the tWiilight Uar.
2017 - 2019 slaps hard, but 2015 - 2016 is pretty nostalgic
I know a lot of people are predicting Bayonetta 3 at Game Awards. I think if we don't see it we'll definitely see it in the first 2020 direct.
Now that all the nominations stuff is out of the way, Geoff should begin the teasing this week.
The second or third one

Ah I remember the great Direct Wars of 2013. So many angry people. "Nintendo won't have any on stage presentations any more at E3!?!? How will people know they're at E3?Without an audience, how will we know when to be excited?"
The aversion at first towards the Direct was so bizarre. Arguments like Nintendo giving up and people clinging to onstage presentations were abundant. While the pacing of Directs at first was far from perfect, the potential was there. Glad Nintendo went through with it.
During the Switch era the Directs became perfect honestly. Good to see many folks have embraced the format and preferring it to the sloggish stage presentations.
Do wish we could have the tongue in cheek Directs back like the Robot Chicken one. That one was fire.

3 more weeks until i die of either alcohol poisoning or crushing disappontment (until the next Direct season)
maybe they will be baby mimosas, that way i live to play the game!
All intros are good, the issue is with the transitions.
Like the one that was spoiling all the Direct was the worst.
*Looks at the list* Yeah maybe just make them regular, anti-alcoholic ones. Just to be sure ... i know some people can't take any alcohol at all. ;]
I know that i'm Jon Snow.
Reporting on those ones live was funny, just seeing Kirby's face with zero context coming up and trying to figure out what it could even be ahead of time
I think the recent Directs have nailed the aesthetics and pacing, the only thing that's really missing is the lack of goofy skits, but I think Doug Bowser will be up for more of that considering the silly video he was in with Bowser. Next E3 will be fun.

The only thing about modern Directs that really bothers me and I am totally aware that I am in the minority here is the headline format. It sounds stupid but I hate that the headlines most of the time spoil what is about to be announced. I usually look away when the headlines come up lol.
I'm talking about headlines like those:
Tons of context.
Oh right yeah, that was kinda silly. I can't imagine anyone was tempted to tune out of a Direct part way through and was enticed to stick around thanks to those headlines, I figure most people watching a Direct live are there for the whole ride.

Whoever thought this headline format was a good idea is hopefully banned permanently from this forum. Absolutely disgusting.
This was so dumbI'm talking about headlines like those:

I like the current headlines format that only shows the next one. I means the one that Sony copied.
I like it.
They dialed it back either way in the last ones, so you see like only the next
There are many independent developers which should reveal their next game soon; at least that's my hope. Those which made Golf Story for example, or those which made Yoku's Island Express. I think that, as always, I am more looking forward to the next Indie direct than to the next regular one.
Cool! Thanks! Haha every page in this thread should have the top post be like, "here's the current Direct rumours/consensus" to avoid posts like mine.
Seems like a lot of people are always saying "We will get another Direct after one in September before end of the year".
But point is there really is no need for it, i mean why would you reveal 2020 games closer to end of the year when you need to sell 2019 games first?

There is never a need for a post-September Direct anymore
Nintendo can use the Game Awards to announce whatever they want to announce at the end of the year
Nah I hate that one too. I don't want any spoilers at all during my quarterly scheduled mega commercial.
Everyone knows it'll actually be SilkSong, commemorating Hollow Knights 3 year anniversary. ;)

I honestly closed my eyes during those parts lmao. Once you display the content of a Direct like that, you suck all the fun and excitement out of your glorified 40 minutes commercial.
They haven't had more than one general direct second half of the year since 2013 anyway. The last 4 years it's just one in september. 2014 and 15 just had one in november.
what about 3rd party controllers that use the gamecube design then?
Will they still be able to produce them?
Some of them had deals with Nintendo I assume looking at the Super Mario themed ones.
Nintendo now owns Big Green Circle and Small Red Circle. Their transformation into Disney is underway...
it's a lunchbox. Get it right before I shove you in the lockers!
I would imagine they can't produce them, but I'm not exactly sure.
I don't like how Nintendo ruins the surprises. Look at the September direct. They still show you what's coming. The "final thing" they don't do that for like Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition
