Let's be honest. The real reason why people want a christmas direct is to get rid of those ugly avatars.
First time being antique is good, while i was wrong with BotW 2, i at least avoided those avatars! ... Could imagine good old Bonejack without the stormtrooper avatar?
LOL this read is wild.
But you know, the faker really went OUT on NMH3 stuff ... Captain Vladimir playable? Margaret Moonlight? I mean ... for Bad Girl, there's a reason she might be playable (Curious? Go play Travis Strikes Again!) ... also what important info would Margaret Moonlight's sexual identity be in a Direct?
I mean ... it's funny that Suda being so random that from the whole load of bullshit, the NMH3 has the best chance to be true. (But it isn't, it's fake. All of it.) ^^

What the hell is all that talk about a Christmas Direct?
Don't play with my feelings, god damn.

Usually this is the place to announce lots of new projects for 2020. They won't announce everything planned for 2020 but a lot of first party software will be announced in that direct together with bigger third party stuff planned for 2020. I don't even expect much of Animal Crossing. It would be better to show that off in its own direct.
Hope y'all leave out a glass of milk and some cookies for Koizumi to make that Christmas direct happen
It's more wishful thinking than anything so far, if that makes you feel better.
Honestly I expect 2 new first party games. I would've expected more, but I know Nintendo has to do a big reveal of a Smash character and talk about AC. They also might announce Pikmin 3 port. There's a rumor TWEWY 2 is coming to Switch. We could see it here.
I don't really think there would be much of a difference between a Direct that shows up now or early january.
There's the Holidays inbetween so I think the only difference would be what kind of shadow drops could happen.
Christmas events for games or things like that.
In this years early year direct we had Tetris 99, so maybe something similar to that? A fun free game that maybe works as an incentive for Switch Online?
We don't know much about Nintendo's first party but I guess a new Kirby could be a safe bet.
It's really hard to think of something when we know so little about 2020.
I guess thats why we really need a Direct? I want new 1st party announcements!
3rd Party stuff
Maybe a date for Outer Worlds?
I don't want to say Metroid Prime Trilogy but Metroid Prime Trilogy.
A 2D Metroid is a good announcement for the first Nintendo direct of 2020 and don't forget Paper Mario!
Also for those who think there could be a direct this week it would be announced in 3 hours

Depending on when the next Direct after the first 2020 one is, i can totally see Animal Crossing not being in the first Direct as a focus or having a very long part.
The first Direct of a year always feels like focused on full new or not much shown stuff to kick of the hype for the year.

I really think Animal Crossing will be mentionned in the text of the next Direct announcement. However, if we get another Direct in March, it might be featured way more softly.
I think we can expect stuff like AC Switch bundles in the next Direct and a big trailer.
I think it will get something. Yoshi's Crafted World got like a minute in the February direct this year. Animal Crossing is too huge not to get a small something then its own direct in February
Pretty sure Animal Crossing counts as "not much shown" considering all they've shown is the very start of the game when nothing is unlocked. And they inexplicably spent 5 minutes in the last Direct just repeating all the things we already knew from E3 instead of saying anything new.
Why giving a voice to a character making him automatically an in-depth arc ?! This is a very weird extrapolation.
I'd really like a localization announcement for Famicom Detective Club. That's a 2020 game that might as well not exist for us.
If we get a direct in January, what I expect as far as first party is concerned. These can range from a small update, trailer to big reveal.
For reference what we got first party wise in the February direct.
-Super Mario Maker 2
-Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3
-Box Boy and Box Girl
-Smash update
-Captain Toad update
-Yoshi's Crafted World demo
-Fire Emblem Three Houses (focus)
-Astral Chain
-Zelda Links Awakening
We got a good amount of Nintendo first party related announcements. So I expect similar for this first January direct.
-Animal Crossing
-Smash character 5
-new game (2D Metroid, new IP, etc.)
-new game (Paper Mario, eShop title, etc)
-Pikmin 3 Deluxe announced
-XenoblaDE (only if it releases before E3, if not then it will be in a March direct)
-Bayonetta 3
-TMS reminder

It's definitely a possibility. Emily reassured us again Metroid fans will be taken care of on the Switch.
Taken care of eh?
"Don Furukawa, they're complaining about lack of new Metroid content"
"Hmm take care of 'em"
If they mess up a Super Metroid remake I will make my own. Mark my words
Because I guess it's on a load of old school Metroid player's wishlist? That's my guess!
I actually wish it doesn't get remade. They need to give us that Fusion sequel
All you had to do was play for the winning team
Also, #JanuaryDirect
That's the thing, they don't want it. They're just talking about as a likely thing and here I am, confused on where that is coming from.
Did I miss a credible rumor?

You mean the coward's team?
Yeah. Super and Fusion still holds up to this day. Give us Metroid 5, please
I think about 20 pages ago there was something about a Super Metroid remake alongside Prime coming 2020.
I think Nate Drake had said he heard about another 2D Metroid Remake but he thinks it's probably Fusion and not Super (apologies Nate if I'm misremembering)
no company cares about how well a game holds up when they remake it. they want to introducing the classic to a new generation with a new fidelity to get a new audience. having past reverence would help that
Fusion definitely needs a remake before super, being made for the GBA
I want a Metroid Zero remake over a Fusion remake anytime of day. Zero holds more nostalgia to me.
