Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT3| Nintendo Direct Speculation Trilogy HD

90% of the tweets have public knowledge or publicly known rumors prior to the tweets taking place.
The only original bit is the new online racer from Nintendo.
I want to believe markomaro regarding DK, but I am afraid to get my hopes crushed again. Each Direct I have some hope, and there haven't been new DK games since early 2014! I was happy to get Funky Kong in the Switch port, but it is not enough for such a long period of absence of DK.
Which sounds like Star Fox Grand Prix and is a logical guess anyways (I doubt that Nintendo goes close to a decade without a new racing game).
I want an open world Wario-GTA game. Big city, lots of missions, ability to ride Wario's chopper and cadillac. No guns, only offense you have are Wario's charge and ground stomp attacks.
Regarding MPTHD I think people have been saying don't expect it until the end of 2020 at the absolute earliest.
I know MPT is always on your mind.
By misinformation...that means it's all right except prime trilogy. That's how this always goes.
Yeah... that was a weird one. I didn't expect much from Xbox One, PS4 this late into their cycles but the Switch is in its prime - I expected more from Nintendo at one of the biggest events of the year, an event that draws significantly more viewership than a Direct will.
Next Direct gonna be a beast?

While there's much quality, this would be a massively lackluster H1 - worst so far in the Switch life. 2 Ports, AC and a AA exclusive third party game.
2nd half is my cup of tea though, XC, BD2, Botw2, Bayo 3 and SMO2 :O That would be intense.
I dont see this happening though, 4 new games, 3 ports/remasters, 1 third party and 1 third party but published by Nintendo. I suspect we're not gonna see Botw2, Bayo 3 and SMO2 this year but a bigger lineup instead. We had 19 Nintendo Published games in 2019 - your list includes 8, even if many of them are massive.
Thanks, I might have missed something but I want to believe it's the vast majority.
While RPG's are definately a well represented genre on the Switch I fail to see how the system is not diverse.
What do you feel is not covered in the lineup by both Nintendo and third parties? Some can get more ofc but overall there's definately something for everyone pretty much.
I think Nate and Imran said they could see Trilogy coming this year. I don't know if that's inside info or not.
DS's weak spot is on its 1st party library, Switch is already on another level in that area.
At this point, saying that means nothing to me. I would have to see actual leaked boxart or something to believe it.
Switch most certainly lacks in certain areas which I hope will get fixed the next few years. Stealth, fps, tps, open world games, horror games, online focused games are pretty much either absent or on life
Support. Switch has a very strong library so far but I don't think it's earned it's place among the SNES, DS or even N64 yet. Market conditions are different of course but Nintendo lost a lot of console support since the GC days and never fully recovered from it. I feel like the Switch is a return to form but it still needs more bigger devs making games for it.

I don't see the first week. That's New Years week. I think if it happens it'll be the 8th, 9th or 15th.
A Sunday?
the ds never had stuff like breath of the wild, splatoon, smash brothers, luigi's mansion, dark souls, diablo, xenoblades, grid autosprt, witcher 3, skyrim, bayonettas, astral chain, devil may crys, resident evils, no more heroes, dooms, wolfensteins, the outer worlds, proper football games, proper basketball games, proper dragonball and naruto fighting games or big multiplayer games like rocket league, warframe and fortnite.
don't live in nostalgia. the switch is the best nintendo gaming machine ever already. and I'm not even counting the dozens of great indies available.
Well it doesn't have to be a new game, a port of Blacklist would fill that void in the library. There will be more last gen ports from Ubisoft I'm sure, AC Rebels won't be the end of it.
As for Need for Speed... Yeah, I know it's a lost cause. But I'll always have a tiny bit of hope.
Thurday. 1st half of the month (like every general Direct).
The two options are the 2nd and the 9th, the former being complicated with New Year celebrations.
I think Ubisoft would port the old Far Cry games before they start looking at their last-gen Tom Clancy stuff
David Wise said he isn't currently working on a soundtrack for one in a recent Game Xplain interview. I guess he could be lying though, or they're using someone else for the music.
The DS has a lot of original content from Nintendo doing new and weird things. DS gave birth to Nintendogs, Brain Age, Big Brain Academy. Art Academy, Electroplankton, Elite Beat Agents, Picross 3D , Kirby's Carves Curse, two Zelda games that was control only with the stylus, and Advance Wars was still alive and got two games.
It also had several dozen Pokemon spinoffs like: Pokémon Conquest, Pokémon Dash, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, Pokémon Ranger series, and Pokémon Trozei!.
So while it wasn't strong in the 'core' gamers category, it was Nintendo at its most experimental and dare I say, bold. We got some of that on Switch with Labo and Ring Fit Adventure, but nothing like it was during the peak of the DS.
ah I see. And how come you're thinking Jan rather than like Feb or March or something?
It's gotta be the 7th/8th/9th or the 14th/15th/16th.
But watch, we're not gonna have a direct until February lol

Far Cry games would be some welcome additions to Switch library. We don't have many games like those on Switch, open world FPS games. I have never played FC4, maybe I'll do it on my Switch Lite.
And there it is.
Anyway my 2020 crystal ball, which is more ridiculous than anybody's, I'm sure:
January - Brain Age: Nintendo Switch Training, Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE
February - Picross, Snack World (heavy promotion if not outright published)
March - Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Dillon Remastered (all three games)
April - Style Savvy, Wonderful 101
May - Xenoblade Chronicles DE, Super Mario Slammers (baseball)
June -Splatoon Royale (f2p), Zelda Maker (expanded dl-only version of Link's Awakening dungeon builder)
July - No More Heroes III, Sports Story
August - Detective Pikachu 2, Ringfit Follow-up/Expansion, Bayonetta 3
September - Bravely Default II, new major Kirby title
October - Metroid 2D, Wario Ware, Pikmin 3 remaster
November - Breath of The Wild 2, Stretchmo 2
December - Shin Megami Tensei V
Stuff I don't know where to put:
Mario Kart 9, Arc System Works Fire Emblem fighter
I don't think Mario Odyssey 2 is happening just yet, 2021 for sure though. I'm 50/50 on Pokemon Let's Go Johto games will be early 2021 too, with Gen4 remakes coming late in 2021.
With Animal Crossing coming in March and preorders still not open in Japan (they usually open after Directs), anything after January would be too late for a huge game like that.
The 5th Smash character releases in February. It would seem to make sense to have a direct by early February the latest so they can announce it.
March would be too much time between directs so it basically has to be jan or feb
That's what it sounds like. If there's misinformation then that means there's true information hidden there.
I agree there are definitely areas where Switch needs to improve.
However, I think Nintendo is doing an okay job with the FPS genre.
Alien: Isolation
Overwatch and Overwatch 2
Fortnite
Paladins
Doom (2016), Doom Eternal, Doom 3, Doom 64, Doom I and II
Wolfenstein II and Wolfenstein Youngblood
Turok 1 and 2
Superhot
The only big thing they're missing are military shooters like Call of Duty and Battlefield. That's the only thing that's holding them back in the FPS genre.
I hope the xenoblade, prime trilogy and pikmin 3 releasing first half of next year is true
first half better than 2nd half for these games
Couple of folks said general direct in January and AC focused mini in February (a couple of weeks before release).
Based on the timing of the Indie World this week, I kinda lean towards that.
DS had some interesting smaller first party titles like Elite Beat Agents and Kirby Canvas Curse, but a lot of the core series installments weren't that great in hindsight. NSMB, Mario 64 DS, Phantom Hourglass/Spirit Tracks, Metroid Prime Hunters, etc weren't all that.
I'd definitely take the likes of Mario 3D Land, Link Between Worlds, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, Kid Icarus Uprising, Samus Returns, Fire Emblem Awakening, etc over a lot of the first party DS stuff any day.

I do have XenoblaDE and Pikmin 3 as first half. MPT I don't see happening, but I would be elated to be wrong.
That, and just super obvious things that line up timing wise. Like, anyone could guess a new 2D Metroid might be coming next year based on the end of Samus Returns and it will have been three years.
Surprised no wii u port in january or February. Like they could easily just stick one there for filler. Especially with not even a december game.
Oh yea lol I forgot. I was thinking 3d world or one of the 3d zeldas.
What makes you think BotW2 will have an even longer dev cycle than the first game when it seems to be reusing assets? Never understood that sentiment.
This is one thing I love about the Switch. The system is an absolute RPG beast. There are so many on the system it's crazy. The system being portable makes playing RPGs on it that much better too. As an RPG fan, the Switch has become a must have system.
This won't be in a Direct I guess but I wonder when we'll see a fitness game that takes advantage of the Ring Con.
